Internal & External Worlds

Reaching within yourself is never an easy task, but an important one nonetheless. Allowing yourself the time and grace to have those intimate moments to reflect and draw from provides a sense of safety and sovereignty. This process requires patience and determination to grow from a place of stillness instead of relying on external validation. The contrast to the internal journey is the external experience of showing up and taking action on the life you wish to live by design. Andrea and Melody attended a silent piano concert on the beach in a community setting during a sunset. It was an external event that was led with an internal intention of listening to live piano music and guided meditation in an environment surrounded by nature with like-minded individuals. The following day, Andrea and Melody attended a 2-hour self-defense class that provided information and practice on physical techniques that would keep someone safe in a dangerous situation if someone were interested in causing harm to your physical body. 

The internal and external worlds that we navigate daily as humans are very different but also complementary. It's easier to become caught up in surface-level drama and, therefore, avoid what's going on regarding emotions and spirituality. This topic of creating balance is essential to mental health and confidence when moving through change, uncertainty and overall life circumstance.
