One day you will realise that the life you have been given is a gift and not a part of someone’s sadistic plan. One day you will realise that the pain was handed to you to evolve, but suffering was what you made of it. One day you will realise that happiness is an inside job and does not lie outside of you.           One day you will realise that life is not waiting to happen, goals are not waiting to be achieved, life is not waiting to be felt, truth is not waiting to be spoken, guilt is not waiting to go up and disappear, but that this, this very moment is life.           One day you will realise that nothing, just nothing, can make you find joy than becoming the nothingness bereft of all desires and simply joyous in your beingness. One day you will realise that the heart and the mind have to live in the same home, but the mind doesn’t need to own you. One day you will realise that your fragmented parts are the parts of you that you pushed away to find love, acceptance and security in this world. One day you will realise that love is not outside of you. Love is when you integrate every fragmented part of you and take it as yours. So when you love someone or something, you take them as a part of you, unconditionally.           One day you will realise that everything happens to divine timing, not a second or a millimetre out of sync with how God’s will has been written for you. And one day you will also realise that your free will is God’s will only when you will from the space of the divinity within you, totally free of every attachment, expectation, personal desire and outcome.           That day you will realise your visa has been stamped. That day you will realise that your application has been approved to exit samsara, the cycle of birth and rebirth.           That day you will realise that you came here for a reason and that reason was to be, not become.           That day will also be the day that the universe will get up from its throne and do a happy jig, when your ancestors will throw a grand party in the heavens, when the eyes of your Gurus and guides will well up as they open their arms to welcome you back home.           What a divine exit plan.                 Give yourself the permission to not be you.                     Break free from every belief that defines you, the ‘your way’ of doing things that are a result of your conditioning but not your own free will.           Tear away the pages of the rule book that was written for you when you were born. A book that seems inviting and safe from the cover but the pages have a rancid smell of limiting beliefs, blind rituals, patriarchy, walking on eggshells, giving in to the narcissism of a parent and the stifling footnotes of ‘what will people say’.           Allow yourself the freedom to post a reel when you want to and not dictated by an AI algorithm. Give yourself the freedom to eat when you are hungry and not because it’s dinner time. Allow yourself to choose your calling and not have a calling slapped onto you. Give yourself the permission to say no to a family event and yes an evening with yourself. Give yourself the permission to do what feels right to you. Let your heart lead and don’t get caught up in the narrative of ‘what if’. Choose ‘what is’ feeling right to you at this moment in time. Take the path that feels right to you, not the one written on chapter 7, line 56 handed down to you generation after generation from those who have still not been able to heal their own traumas.           Give yourself the permission to heal, to grow, to rewrite the rules, to bend the genres, to hold on to what serves you, to let go of anything that does not. Give yourself the permission to make the wrong decision and own it, crumble if you have to, but through those shards you’ll resurrect a new version of you - whole and complete, perfect in its imperfections.           Give yourself the permission to become a mess and find peace in it. Allow yourself to fold when things seem overwhelming and unfold when you are ready for a transformation.           Give yourself the permission to unquestionably accept, unconditionally surrender, non-judgementally witness, to laugh, to cry, to fall apart, to come together, to free, to flee and to love yourself fiercely.           Give yourself the permission to shed the skin of the past and not be you or who everyone expects you to be. Give yourself permission to not be who you have become but who you are.             Our upcoming retreats                         Andretta Last 6 Seats Left 16th to 22nd November     To reconnect to your inner child at a beautiful hillside retreat with 14+ soulful individuals will make this a life-transforming experience.
