Masculine. Feminine. Creativity. Sensuality. The Cherry Experience 🍒✨ By @acyn_ 📸❤️✨..

I wrote this quote around 4 weeks ago, but somehow never elaborated on it. It was initially inspired by "My Take on Experiences" - check it out on the blog!✨ . As long as we are alive, we are susceptible to unconscious or conscious responses and experiences. We decide to experience based on old conditioning and past experiences or awareness of what is happening at any given time. Mindfulness is a continuous process. . Whenever we come out of a place of unconsciousness, we often react to the world as if the world is happening to us. This is because we are ignorant of what's happening inside and get triggered by outside. Whenever inside of us is troubled, it reflects itself to the outside and you are more vulnerable to react to your environment accordingly. . On the other side, you can be aware of what’s happening both inside and outside you – and out of a place of awareness you choose how to respond. You can observe possible scenarios and outcomes of whatever you’re thinking to do or say as a response to outside stimuli and then decide the course of action. . Detached observations can give you much insight. But as humans, we feel so intensely. These feelings, often unconscious, usually take the lead and say and do things on our behalf. With this post I want to remind you that we are constantly deciding between ignorant reactions and aware observations. Give yourself time to choose your experience by observing your emotions and thoughts before. . Background Art by @artbystevej 🎨✨

“If you want a butterfly, you got to be a butterfly” - @IndiaArie ✨🦋 . Sitting with my friends in the park a few days ago, a butterfly was flying around us. A very friendly, I'd say… This butterfly felt comfortable enough around our energy to land on us multiple times. It had a moment with me, too, where it stood there on my arm quite comfortably, without any rush to leave. . Looking at it deeply in an eye, I got reminded of the beauty of transformations; there is so much beauty in evolutionary change. Growing pains are there for transformations to happen. I smiled as I gazed at the beautiful creature 🐛✨🦋 . Its detached nature reminded me of the freedom that comes with growth. The friendly butterfly reminded me that I’m changing and evolving into something I know exists but haven’t experienced yet. To be patient and trust the process. . . . #onewithnature #butterfly #experiences #thoughts #magic #beautiful #reminders #followthesigns #nature #beauty #majestic #indiaarie #spirituality #spiritanimal #evolving #trust #trusttheprocess #awakening #energy

"We owe it to ourselves to show up for ourselves. Showing up for ourselves will make us uncomfortable but the rewards of a purposeful existence will make it all worth it. To do anything that will yield you benefits, you must always be critical of yourself and how you spend your time."

"We live in systems, and systems have a way of working. Without knowing when, or how, you might find yourself in a system. And if you are not aware enough, you stay stuck in a system. Put so meticulously in place, these systems work for the ones running them. The ones not running such systems either get used to the system, reject the systems, or fight the systems. A few try to change the systems."

NEW BLOG POST ALERT: Thrive In Systems ⚠️✨.. "The most common system that I see is the traditional working system; the full-time job. Perhaps because I am now a full-time intern in an organization, I reflect on my experience the past 2 weeks. I first had to get used to the system – physically and mentally. I had to get used to being in a space for over 8 hours per day, and working for 8 hours. I love what I do in that organization – it’s important for me, and I support it, but that’s not my point. This post is meant to shed light on societal constructions and how we deal with those, not whether or not full-time jobs are a good or bad thing. I truly believe it’s up to us to give our lives purpose. Some find their purpose serving in a full-time, 9 to 5 job. [...] It’s impressive how we commit to organizations and want to deliver our best, but when it’s about showing up for ourselves, we do so so-so. I saw this in me the past few weeks; I put a stop to everything I was doing, and most of my attention was on the job. I didn’t write, I barely meditated, didn’t sport, barely socialized… Just working and Netflixing after work. In two weeks time I realized that I must be able to get more out of my time, regardless of a full-time internship. Even if I happen to end up in a full-time job, it’s up to me to do that temporarily or stay in its overarching system. Living my life my way is my decision."

"Even as part of The All, we can still individuate. The biggest influencer of our experiences is our awareness. It is when we are aware, that we get to change our automatic responses. It is through awareness that we question our thoughts. And only awareness can make us reflective of our behavior and attitudes. We are in power or we give our power away to the collective conditioning with awareness or the lack thereof."... #LinkInBio Thank you for the amazing conversation and the adorable snapshot, @acyn_ 🦄✨💛

They're sparkling again!✨

✨FROM THE LATEST BLOG!🖋🌌 "We live in a reality that consists mostly of opposing parts; to remain neutral is almost impossible. Belief systems and attitudes influence our perception on a daily basis. They also contribute to our values, both individual and collective. So even when you don’t have an opinion, you have a thought. You have attitudes. You have values. We have like a Perceptional Labeler that gives meaning and labels to reality. These labels will evoke emotional reactions, experiences, that are both positive and negative, but seldom neutral. These reactions usually stem from our beliefs and values. And where do we get these belief- and value systems from? Some are created, but most are passed on from generation to generation by members of society. I realized that most of our reactions are predetermined by our values, attitudes, and belief systems. Not only that, but also that the collective consciousness has a huge influence on our perception and experiences." Read the complete piece on the blog! #linkinbio ✨✨✒️ Image by: @grafixart_photo.🌌
