I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
With how challenging so many things have been living here at GaiaYoga Gardens over the past few months, and so much of my energy going to simply doing my best to staying balanced and centered in the midst of much chaos, my inspiration and motivation to do community/land work has been at an all-time low, even for projects and tasks that I've been wanting and needing to do. Mental-emotional chaos drains my energy, so I've spent a lot of my time alone as of late, for my own wellbeing and sanity.
I have begun, finally however, a little at a time, to get necessary tasks, like cleaning and organizing the Flow House, done, which feels good, and it is aligning with other positive developments and experiences, like going off-property for Sunday Funday, more easeful and enjoyable connections and interactions, and the sessions that I offer women beginning again with a bang with Harmony's session yesterday. These various small things are seemingly beginning to shift my life in a more fun, fulfilling, and meaningful direction once again, for which I have a lot of gratitude.
Getting off property for two weeks in a row, to go down to the coast for Sunday Funday, to swim in the ocean at Kehena, and dance myself silly at the Lawn, felt wonderful, and it did me a lot of good. Amy, with whom I connected the last time I went to the Lawn, who wanted my phone number to continue our conversation, and with whom I've been discussing ideas for our mutual collaboration, wants me go out this Sunday to meet up with her, at the beach or the Lawn. Harmony wants me to go out for Sunday Funday this week, too, so I may indeed be going off-property for another lovely day down along the coast.
The session that I gave Harmony yesterday went very well indeed, as they aways to with her. She and I have worked together in sessions for years, with very solid trust between us, and she absolutely loves what I do (she jokes, saying that she would live on my massage table if she could, only leaving for the most essential things...lol), so working with her is truly a joy, and also a lot of fun. Around the same time that Harmony reappeared here at GaiaYoga, after months away on the mainland, scheduling her session even before she arrived here, and for the very next day, I was also contacted by two other women with whom I work fairly regularly in session, Audrey and Emily, about setting up sessions this week. Audrey's session is set for today at 1:30PM, right after I get this post, and my Hive tasks, done. Emily's session may be tomorrow, but more likely this coming week. No sessions for months, then multiple sessions popping up at the same time. So fascinating.
I also reached out to two women in the local community that I adore, and who I knew were also going though very challenging times, the day before yesterday, Hope and Lea. I haven't heard back from Hope yet, but Lea responded very positively yesterday, and we have plans to meet up very soon to vote together in the national election (Trump, of course). I look forward to spending time with her again, both for our voting duties, and otherwise, because I truly enjoy her company. Whenever I am able to get energy moving in my life in a good direction again, my interactions, connections, and relationships with the women in my life improve dramatically. I intend to keep going with the positive momentum!
Yesterday, Thursday, I gave Harmony her session, after I finished my Hive tasks, from around 1PM to about 5PM, so a session of normal length, maybe even a little shorter than usual. As always, she left my table happy, relaxed, and grateful, which is always my intention. After the session, I helped her carry a bin of her stuff, that she had stored under my bed, up to the Kuti, where she's staying. Once I left her there, I went to the Landing to make myself some food, and some doctored-up chocolate milk (since I didn't have time to strain and blend kefir), before heading back to the Flow House, to finally, and much later than usual, get into my Hive tasks, the first of which was writing and publishing My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 343 - Purple Cassava Shadows post, then getting to my usual evening tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I got everything done on Hive by around 11:30PM, and after a little more token management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just after 12:30PM. Sadly I didn't sleep so well last night, waking up just after 7:15AM, doing more token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee. While I was there, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), too, since I won't have time after my session today. I also took a batch of photos for these posts, and some for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, so my morning has been quite productive so far. It's now just before 12:30PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before Audrey arrives for her session. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest later today, and the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
