Humans are social beings. We require interaction, affection, stimulation & nurturing love. Have you had the moment in your life yet where you feel that not everyone in your circle is positively contributing to your experience here on Earth? There comes a time when we must filter out our social circle. People are drawn to your energy when you are living intentionally. Not all will enhance your experience, but it’s up to you to find the community that nourishes your soul. Living in alignment includes aligning with the people that are meant to dance with you on your journey.
Do you ever feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders & you can’t or would rather not do it all alone?Although going inward is a beautiful practice, there's a balance in learning when to reach out. Solitude is a sacred space that holds a lot of magic for self discovery. Aloneness is different from loneliness. Too much time in solitude may lead to loneliness & feelings of unrelatability. If you've been feeling lonely, this is an invitation to seek your soul community. There are numerous online offerings available to us all in this day & age. If you're looking for accountability & soul recognition, then check out our private Facebook group:The Sacred Rituals Collective. We seek to offer you a platform for accountability, growth, reflection, laughs, play, exploration & intention.
The Guiding Elements was founded on the intention of sharing holistic living practices for everyday life in the most accessible ways. We strive to bring you back to your heart space & live with intention in order to create self empowerment. Times are tough!! And we recognize that mostly everyone's world has been turned upside down without their consent. This doesn't mean we can't thrive through all the turbulence though. This group is a way to help stay guided during these challenging times.
Joining the Sacred Rituals Collective will allow a space for us to be honest with ourselves. Pull 1-3 cards per week & share what you pulled, reflect on what comes up for you, whether it’s excitement or resistance. We don't have to pretend that we're all perfect "healers" or practitioners anymore. If we're here to truly do the work & make moves, then let's settle into a community that accepts our hearts & efforts as we are. We are offering a 30% off discount code so that if you don't have a deck yet, its more attainable to you now! :) Until you receive a deck, simply explore the group & pick a card or spread pulled by another that you would like to experience for the week.
Being that Ayurveda is the ancient teachings of how the universe naturally flows, it reflects your innate wisdom. I pulled the "Live With Intention" card from An Ayurvedic Path Oracle Deck & it was the perfect card to start off this new chapter of my life. To be honest, it’s one of my favorite cards & always brings me back to such a sweet place in my heart. The message is to s l o w down. If I move too fast, I'm on autopilot & whirling through life. But, if I take a moment to truly settle into my "why," I am much more able to be fueled by inspiration & divine will. I feel guided! In the group, I will be sharing my experience of embodying this card this week. So far, I had a beautiful moment with my flower essences & tuned into their offerings by slowing down & consuming them with intention.
Do you ever get that magical feeling when someone tells a vulnerable story & you think "wow, me too" or "I felt this way but didn't know if I should express it"? Well, I find that to be one of the most healing & reflective feelings for me. It can be as surface level (but still impactful!) as feeling heard or appreciated in the moment, or as deep as feeling recognized on a soul level & healing feelings of unrelatability or shame.
Just this past year, through all the struggles piling up, I had learned that I couldn't do it all on my own. I learned that crying alone is necessary, but crying on a shoulder really amped up my process & healed me through vulnerability. I had to open up to the truth that I was not okay, I had to ask for help, which allowed me to really feel cared for at the end of the day. This was brought up by an extreme case, but now it has trickled into my every day life. I feel empowered to be honest with my capabilities. I am able to offer more as I am able to receive! Being an only child, I'm just used to internalizing my life. My tendency is to hold space rather than ask for assistance. If you can relate, then I definitely invite you to join the group. :)
Upon creating An Ayurvedic Path, Erica & I always had the intention of building community. We knew the journey was hard enough alone & desired to create a safe space for self discovery & empowerment. We all have so many beautiful talents. This group will allow you to amplify your confidence through reflection of other beautiful beings. Let someone hold up the mirror to you & say thank you!
With love,
Erica & Tatiana
