A good listener

If I had to recall one of the many things my mother always told me that would be: JUST LISTEN!!!!

I always thought I was listening, in fact I listened to her so well that I would argue back, mom, I am listening but you are not listening to me.

The truth is I heard what she said, but If I could have enough wisdom to listen to her, I would have known that what she really was craving for in her life was attention and love.

Of course I couldn't learn to listen from my family because all of them were shouting to be listened, and If I open the view and see outside, in many big cities like Mexico city, everything you have around is only noise.

I was so fascinated by noise, that I made my final dissertation at University based on noise.

I had no clue how to organize my thoughts about it, but now I see what I really wanted to understand is what is inside noise. I was sure that If I could learn to see/hear through noise, I would be able to hear a lot of hidden messages or what I call now META-MESSAGES.

Today I am still training how to listen, there is so much to listen in so many levels and noise only encourages me to dig deeper :P

Massage is a great practice for listening. For me the best massages I have received have been from people who are good at listening.

Possitive thinking

Today I woke up thinking I wanna be the girl of my dreams :)

Surrender to love

Since I am in the business of helping people to relax, I also have to see what stresses people, right? Today is Valentine´s day and so I decided to explore it with fresh eyes and positive energy.

When I was younger I used to hate St. Valentines, like truly hate it, not only that I didn't care about it, but cheesy couples make me feel bitter, and seeing the sweetie -almost- brainless girls (I thought back then) receiving tons and tons of roses along the day just made me hate it even more.  Do you see where am I going? the problem was not the day, or the consumerism, but my perception of love. And what I hated the most was the lack of love in my life.

Through the time I open more and more to love and happiness, and not long ago I decided to surrender and completely trust in love. 

I started to discover that love is not an illusion but I can bring it to my reality, I understood that we don't fall in love but raise in love, I understood that love is the root of the self but for many reasons we keep it locked.

I have been asking people around me how do they feel about St. Valentines and many of them have rolled their eyes, some of them seem to have a war against it and some other simply don´t care.

I read this today:

"We may not all surrender to God, but to think of surrender as breaking our attachments to limiting ideas and finding the courage to be a trustee of love is quite freeing." - Sister Jenna

And I thought about all the limiting ideas we may have in regards of love that doesn´t allow us to hug or kiss someone in public, to not say you are amazing to someone else, but specially to not spread the love within ourselves, to not think so good about who we are.

I have found it challenging but I am committed to get the best out of the life I am in charge to live :)

I have found in massage a way to connect with love within myself . I love the atmosphere a massage therapy offers for both the provider and the receiver, where for at least a couple of minutes love and goodness flow freely.

Happy LOVE day!!!!!! The day you can surrender to love and see what unfolds for you!

P.S. I made this video this morning trying to break with my own love limitations :)
