A weekend away, ponderings. Having space is Delic

A weekend away, ponderings.

Having space is Deliciousness.

Nothing to do but moving from sunny spot to sunny spot as the day heats up.

Then from shadow to shadow to keep cool, reading & processing.

Formatting my poetry book again ~ thanks Raranga Tipua Roopu for pulling this one through the heavens… ♡ I can smell Her arrival now.

I figured out a few formatting issues that were challenging me!

I've also been pondering my relationship between space & time. I've been trying to allow More being, less doing. More accepting of what my life is, less regret of the things that haven't eventuated.

More being present to the current moment. A release from any awareness that I need to be “on time…” for things.But I'm not really interested in keeping track of time. Or measuring anything, except out of curiosity.

Just feeling the call to be and create & honour life. Those who align are ok with who I am, there's no need to be any different.

So what does space mean for me? It means days where there is nothing in the diary. No requirements or expectations of me.

Just space to drop into my essence & explore there. No need to look at a clock. No need to prove anything, or live up to anyone else's standards. In Western life, or Māori life… Just to offer & gift what’s sustainable & possible for me & release the rest.

I enjoy sharing my gifts when it's easeful, without pedestals or hierarchy, or clinging.

Reflecting now… that's how I grew up. all space. Lots of land, play until we got called in. Being with & climbing the trees. No kangaroos then, but they bring so much joy whenever I see them now… even after being here for more than 15 years now!

The beautiful tuahine Hāweatea Bryson from @nature_knows, who featured in @flourishinghealing.practice ep.15 – turned the tables on me for an episode from the archives & asked me about my path and journey into Māori Healing.

At the time of recording, we were amidst the Black lives matter uprising and so we this episode addresses a lot ablit talking about weaving between the idea of growing up between 2 cultures and Māori healing.

Thank you so much Hāweatea for this kōrero ♡

I'm a little awol on socials lately ~ they are feeling like a little less of a draw!

Although I am still here offering wananga ~ workshops & sessions... & so grateful for all those who find their way into my heart space & heart offerings.

Sharing simply hasn't felt as inspiring lately.

Yet I'm always super grateful for all the support, care & reach outs I get!

P.s. How are you all feeling about socials? Do you feel like they have had their hey day?

How are you interacting with services these days?
Is it all making you feel overwhelmed like it is me? Like there are a few too many points of contact?

I would love to hear how you're all vibing with the interwebs

We clear our past & clear our future path, so we are free for our descendants & legacy. 💞

Romiromi is not just about clearing trauma ~ but about clearing pathways to true freedom. It's not about keeping the status quo ~but about you being able to live without fear of being punished for your truth 🌿

Dear Anger. I shut you away when I was young, I s

Dear Anger.

I shut you away when I was young, I saw the harm you caused expressed in the aura of others.
Potent, unthinking.
Desperate harmful unconsciousness.
I felt & still feel untethered when you're around.
Almost out of body.
Present & unpresent at once.
I still do when your presence arises in others.
Even if it's healthy.

Other's anger & shame... Weaves in my heart Misunderstood & internalised.

Dear anger, Despite all the Healing,
I still find you hard to express when you arise.
I'm still disgusted by your presence & the unhealthy modelling of your expression I took as your truth.
Lately I've been forced to be angry.

I realise, I never stopped being hyper-vigilent to your presence.
I'm still attuned to the emotions of others, although I don't always interpret it right.
Maybe I never did.
I always thought anger must be because of me...

Yet... Now, as anger comes seething out of my ovaries, I am just not too sure how to hold it.
The anger is true, but it's generations overdue.
So its a lot of Rage.

Absolute rage...

Rage for the things I believe/d about myself.
Rage for the places I've closed my heart in protection.
Rage for the relationships I've had (even though I'm grateful for them too...
Rage, because somewhere, somehow, the mess of anger became mazed within my self worth.
Rage that others can express their anger without giving a shit about how it impacts those around them.
I'm angry that when I shut down in the face of anger, I then get shamed for not speaking up at the time.
I'm angry for being misunderstood & I'm angry I've misunderstood others.

So now as all this rage lifts from my body.
I feel messy, I feel unkempt.
I feel untethered.

Anger is the emotion I am the least comfortable with, although I've come to realise it's been seething from my pores... Now I'm vowing to learn her...

I wonder ~ are there others who have had a similar journey? The interwebs are not resonating..

I would love to hear x

Current processing & feels.
Find ease, extract from words & expectations written on my body from the past.
Find a deeper place of love, truth & capacity to be.

Life is such a tender, emotional endeavour. Findin

Life is such a tender, emotional endeavour.
Finding our own way is a privilege & so painful.

Lately I've been sitting in a lot of real spaces. Spaces where we share that some days we cry ancient tears that engulf our whole existence.

Our emotions are beautiful things that also can become too much to carry alone. Especially amidst a world where most people are feeling a bit overwhelmed & with many who don't have the skills to just be with pain.. And just are not too sure how to navigate it.

I honour spaces where we can freely share our fears, our anxieties, our avoidance & our coping mechanisms, without being "changed...." Spaces where we work & share our gifts without armouring up....or having to perform a role.

Real spaces are both nourishing & totally the way I want to exist, in friendships, relationships & family.

But it's also damn exhausting... Because real spaces also feel like they are the minority...

So if you're on the edges of exploring truth. If you're dancing in & out of consciousness..

.. If you are emotional.

I bow so deeply to you, you're helping carve a world I feel safe in, we're all tired of performing, being fake & playing the good girl or boy.

Not many of us know the next steps, but let's walk each other home with compassion, safety & care.

Xx Gabrielle 💞🌿

Lots of processing today after some deep dives ~ notes & thoughts from my integration day.

In many moments, I am not sure if my life is falling apart ~ or being reborn towards a new season of expression.

It becomes challenging to be exquisitely present within your life.

You don't belong, & you can never make it all fit together. Yet allowing the patterns of past trauma to pass through... honoured for their moment, meaningless tunes that arise like background noise in a bar you didn't want to be in. Somehow gulping breath, well past closing time, the door feels locked.

But there must be a way home to truth, rest, slowness, true love.... ancient anger when released, becomes tears, yet their rivers do not have to become your pathway.
Surrender control, for she sits too tightly in your body... tired of showing up... yet called forth, even as you rest.

Allow yourself to feel the past with unwavering faith there will be a new future.... one that is meant only for you ♡
