Move On Up!
You can leave behind all your self-soothing activities that perhaps aren’t the best use of time or resources when you remove yourself from major sources of stress, like an unsafe neighbourhood, a highly frustrating work situation, and extremely unequal relationships. That is a somewhat unpopular opinion. Apparently, in a theoretical universe that no one has ever been to,Continue reading “Move On Up!”
A World Of Less Stress
I am grateful to all who are working for a world of less misery, disease and stress. It may be impossible to co-create a world of no misery, no disease, no stress, and perhaps we only truly appreciate contentment, health and relaxation through contrast.. The aim to free yourself of less desirable conditions may beContinue reading “A World Of Less Stress”
Ecological Self
When you make the effort to harmonize with nature, you are being rewarded by a very beautiful state of mind, confidence, receptiveness, and the ability to love. But once you try to harmonize with the manmade world — ugh uuh aaah, it is almost impossible to stay optimistic.. I now understand that that is howContinue reading “Ecological Self”
Happy Birthday, Esperanza Spalding.
“Cinnamon Tree, wise and sturdy, your roots are firm in the ground to soak up what is around and make sweet seasoning” – performed live at … I recommend this 20 min long interview with the inspirational Esperanza to all creatives:
Joyeux Anniversaire, Catherine Ringer.
Happy birthday to Catherine Ringer. I was an early fan of Les Rita Mitsouko, and she still got it! Oh yeah. I felt so lucky when I found ‘Communiqueur d’Amour’ on Youtube. 😍
Allergies
You can treat and overcome an allergy to natural causes. A reaction to unnatural things is not an allergy. That is emotional intelligence. Don’t treat it, treasure it. 17 October 2015
Sun And Earth In Relationship
The first impression of the day, coming right out of the dream: the diversity and the abundance of the earth. It is there for our health. It is there because the sun is warming all the seeds that are in the soil. The sun’s warmth brings all that grows to fruition, the visible and theContinue reading “Sun And Earth In Relationship”
October Charm
Ah, the painter’s eye… I admire the new deep crimson in the foliage… and another shade of red, saturated, a colour similar to blood with a touch of raspberry in it. It is striking against the blues or greys in the sky and what is left of the green leaves, it is striking even onContinue reading “October Charm”
New Moon In Libra: Makeover
I took a much needed break on this new moon – to fill my cup and to observe the wonder of the season. I took some “me time” before I wrote down what I was shown would be the themes for this new moon in Libra – on Friday, 16 October – and the coming moon cycle.Continue reading “New Moon In Libra: Makeover”
Happy Birthday, Ziggy Marley.
Actions Speak Louder than Words
I have finally understood why men are so eager to convince women of their qualities as a partner. Men have observed two things: that women have lists with items to check off, and that women can be talked out of being serious about those lists. So here is the thing: there is a list forContinue reading “Actions Speak Louder than Words”
Dolce Vita In Autumn
It is so great to have an abundance of cosmos and roses in this season. Pink, white and dark red petals… It is fun to notice that the colours and the profusion of the flowers do affect me subliminally every morning. Here is how: they cheer me up, I feel “I can do this”, andContinue reading “Dolce Vita In Autumn”
Be Like That, Be Like Me
The unusually warm year offers another benefit (beside the warmth): a third growing season for the roses. In the symbolic reading that is an appeal to the heart and to restoring harmony in all our ways. Roses, with their old and long-lasting association of romance and refinement and their aromatherapeutic effects on the heart andContinue reading “Be Like That, Be Like Me”
One On One
The attempt to make everyone happy stems from a desire for love. Ironically, people pleasers almost never get the love they seek and hardly any individual attention or one-on-one interest. The reaction from outside mirrors how they operate: not from their own values, but from the value of gaining wide approval. It is when youContinue reading “One On One”
Awestruck? (Guidance, Hello!) Claim it.
If you ever feel your heart sinking because you were just shown an inspiration, and you catch yourself thinking: “I will never … get the chance.. to – live in a home like that – live in a region like that – have a job like that – drive a car like that – wearContinue reading “Awestruck? (Guidance, Hello!) Claim it.”

May this day be a breeze and a moment of appreciation for the life we have been given and for the culture of love that we maintain. Our reiki circle is happening all day. Join with reiki and your gratitude any time. Happy new moon. It is in the sign of Libra, in the middleContinue reading “Reiki Circle On 16 October 2020”
If It’s Important, You Make Time For It
Today I am grateful to the teachers who have taught me by example that everything precious to you must become a priority, a structure in your time, something you tend to regularly. Or it sinks in the background, and you forget about it. … That time management could be a mirror of values was aContinue reading “If It’s Important, You Make Time For It”
Dave Born Designs
Dave Born, whose birthday is today, also made a few posters for me. See my writing at: https://nandajurela.com/2020/04/30/the-human-animal/ And here is what he did to my photo: I know some wonderful people. Keep rocking, Dave, happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Dave!
Dave Born – from Dave Born Designs – is pretty much my favourite designer. His stylish commentaries on current topics, the elegance and the echoing strength of his artwork delight me. I am thrilled to give him more exposure! Here are a few posters he made over the years: For Standing Rock: Water Is Life:Continue reading “Happy birthday, Dave!”
