The conversation turned to you, and each of them had an endearing story to share. One spoke of your generosity and how you selflessly committed to that business idea that will change the way people heal and love. Another spoke about how you have been holding space for your child, who has been facing his own challenges. They praised your authenticity and how you now create at will, manifesting love in the world like God himself.           They called upon your guides and gurus to congratulate them on the brilliant job they have done guiding you from darkness into light.           The meeting ended with a memo to all beings and a report card for all to see.           No wonder, when you woke up this morning, every thread of your bed sheet and quilt didn't want to let go of you. They wanted to wrap themselves around you, having you lay in their arms. Every drop in the ocean raised its head to see who this magical human being is. Every tree swayed a little more, doing a happy dance as they welcomed you to a new day. Every grain of sand washed itself clean so you could walk upon them. Every sunflower faced the sun, but with quick side glances, they kept looking at you in awe of your light. The sun itself seemed distracted as it found a small gap in the curtains of your bedroom and kissed your face with a ray of light. The birds sang in unison a song they had prepared all night in their nests, waiting for dawn.           The coffee beans were the happiest and the envy of the entire universe, as they would get to satiate you with their bean-ness and meet your cells first.           Your toothbrush could hardly contain its excitement as it sat with all its bristles, waiting, eager to devote itself to you.           The apple served for breakfast felt like a celebrity. The banana had a road named after him in the dimension of fruits. The bees had tears of joy as you licked the honey of the spoon that itself was having a kundalini awakening moment.           Today, wake up believing that you are the universe’s favourite, loved and most celebrated child.                       Your body doesn’t know the difference between a lion chasing you or you chasing a deadline.                     There’s absolutely no difference between your ancestors being chased by a lion and you chasing a deadline.           Both are in survival mode, both are fearful, both are trying to save themselves, both do not like the place where they are, both want to be somewhere else that seems safer - not knowing they are walking into another lion’s den, another hole where a deadline awaits to ambush them with its fangs.           Urgency is a scam. And your nervous system is paying the price.           We have been conditioned to mistake urgency for purpose, restlessness for passion, and exhaustion for commitment. We call it ‘drive’, but the body has learnt it and knows it as survival. When we rush to find love, shed weight, or achieve the life of our dreams, we are trying to be productive, forgetting that happiness lies in presence, not productivity. Happiness does not come alive in more goals, it lives in more breaths. Happiness does not come by counting your likes and shares but by counting your blessings.           When you are in a rush, you are simply running from this moment, from yourself, from stillness, from inner peace. The body doesn’t know the difference between being chased by a lion and running late for a meeting. It sees both as a threat, almost as though you are telling your body, ‘I hate where I am. I am not safe here. Something is wrong with this moment.’           And the body obeys. It responds by flooding you with cortisol, always keeping you in fight-or-flight mode. It tightens your chest, bloats your belly, scrambles your emotions, and shuts down your peace. We are not meant to be in a high-adrenaline state 24x7. We are meant to move like nature - to rise and fall, to expand and rest, to bloom and retreat, to live like seasons, to live in rhythm, not in reaction.           The real work then is not to be goalsome but to be wholesome - to rewire your nervous system to believe that safety exists now, in this very moment, by being here, in this breath, in this beautiful now, and not somewhere you’ll arrive at later.           When you slow down, your body finally exhales. It opens its palms. It receives. And what you were chasing begins to find its way to you - as you slow down enough to hold and cherish it.             Our upcoming retreats                         Andretta Sold Out 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.
