I want to offer a service where I send personalised voice notes (or text notes) telling people how loved they are, how worthy they are, and how much their magic is needed. I want to make them feel so seen. I want to be their personal hype woman!!🥰🦋✨

OMG! I'm re-reading the series right now in preparation for this.
Can't believe this is actually happening.😍🥳🥳🥳
Journey before destination!🎉
I was in the shower today when I started sobbing uncontrollably. Rather than analyse why I was crying, I just allowed myself to shed the tears.
My energy feels so much lighter after letting go of the psychic pain.
Our body is the medicine. It knows when we need to purge.

I'm 34. This is what I would've told my 20 yo self:
Cultivate a strong sense of self. In a world that conditions women to people-please and put themselves last, prioritise yourself. Surround yourself with people who uplift you. Build a solid foundation for your queendom.
When my first bf broke up with me, it felt like in the blink of an eye, life lost all its meaning. Everything went from colour to greyscale. I remember staying in bed for two days, unable to do anything. My sense of self was so tied to the meaning he lent me.
Now I look back at

just let myself feel it. I thought about the happy moments, the sad moments. cried. smiled. got angry. got frustrated. felt desponded.
didn't distract myself, which was good. just allowed myself to miss them. the intensity got less as time wore on.
Dating and romantic compatibility have been on my mind for a few days now.
I find it fascinating how some connections that should be a 10/10 match on paper are just not irl.
For eg., I have a friend who's into personal growth, is financially free, has values similar to mine, is
The universe likes wholehearted commitment. When it sees that you are committing your whole ass to making your dreams a reality and not just one butt cheek, it sends all sorts of synchronicities and opportunities your way. Wholeheartedness magnetizes manifestation.🧲✨
My little authentic luxury recently has been buying the most beautiful fountain pen. Cost me Rs 900 (~$11) and oh, it gives me SO MUCH joy to write with it. It feels luxurious, my handwriting looks way more beautiful, and I feel so abundant every time I hold it.
"A little authentic luxury can go a long way. Because art is born in expansion, in a belief in sufficient supply, it is critical that we pamper ourselves for the sense of abundance it brings to us."
-- Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way

"Give love to yourself" is fine and all but if you developed abandonment issues early on, the deepest healing won't come from sitting alone and giving loving attention to yourself.
Match people's energy. It's one of the easiest routes to peace in your relationships.
I would often get frustrated (not to mention hurt) when someone would grow cold after a warm initial connection, blow hot and cold, become cagey even as I was open and forthcoming, etc.

"I'd rather be whole than good" — Carl Jung
The more I ponder this quote, the deeper it lands. Being "good" requires that you reject the shadowy parts of yourself.
Being whole requires you to integrate all parts—good, bad, and ugly. And in so doing, establish inner harmony.
The other day, I saw a post on Instagram that said that we should maintain a running list called "good things are always happening to me".
I decided to give it a go. It's been four days now and I feel like I'm a magnet for good things.

@scottdomes
I love this.
As a corollary it's helpful to ask oneself, "was I invigorated by this person when I interacted with them?
If the answer is a no, then maybe don't date them.
Seeing someone exude a vibe towards you that says, "I see you. I believe in you. I want you to win. You got this." is one of the most heartwarming, nervous-system-regulating, and motivating things ever.

One of the biggest breakthroughs I've had this year is being able to tap into the kind of well-being that psychedelics used to give me access to, without needing the psychedelics.🌼🌿✨
I am reading The Artist's Way by myself at a cafe and a dude just came up to me, introduced himself, told me that I looked cute (in the nicest way), and left.
And now I feel all nice.😊
That's going on my list.🦋✨👇🏾

Okay, I HAVE to share this. I experienced one of the proudest moments of my life this past week!
I nearly drowned as a 9-month-old baby. I developed a deep fear of water ever since. I tried a few times to learn swimming but the fear always got the better of me.
Finally—after 34
When I say no to the partial matches, the universe rewards me with the full matches.
Say no to the 7/10s and watch the universe flood your life with the 10/10s.❤️✨
I cannot emphasize being in-tune with your body enough. Being aware of what you're feeling, locating where and how it is showing up in your body, and paying loving attention to it can radically shift your inner experience.
Something I really wish for everyone: To find themselves interesting. To be intrigued by their own essence. To be so curious about themselves that they invest time and effort into uncovering and understand the various parts that make up who they are.
No one has the same combination of interests, fascinations, and desires as you. So, go ahead and share your way of seeing reality with the world, because I promise you that it's unique and adds to our collective beauty.
If you're a creator, make your wellness non-negotiable. Your time alone, your time to just be, your time to do things that fill your cup is sacred. How do you expect to create anything from a space of undernourishment? The gifts you are here to give the world depend directly on
Know what's more important than being at the right place at the right time?
It's being the *right person* at the right place at the right time.
Do the inner work.
A common intention/prayer I turn to these days:
Let me have grace for myself and others even during moments of pettiness. Let me remember the inherent goodness in me and others while standing steadfast in my personal truth.
I hope you have a giant character arc and a breathtaking transformation. I hope you have a hero's journey that leaves you feeling like you left everything on the table and created a magnificent masterpiece.🌄🎨🖌️
For the first time ever, I responded, "I'm not willing to do that" to an unreasonable demand someone made of me today.
My self-concept just changed for the better.🦋✨
To anyone who needs to hear: it's okay to feel out of sorts. it's okay if you're not chirpy and outgoing. it's okay to take a minute to breathe and feel.
The more I understand the human nature, the more I realise that no one needs rescuing. If I can hold another in my eyes as whole and thriving, they'll find their way on their own.
Every human has an in-built GPS. My job is to hold loving space as they trust it and bloom.🪷
I studied Physics in my undergrad. Wish they'd taught us how relevant the concepts were to life in general.
Like...be careful what you put out into the world because for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction (so it's coming back to you, baby).
Don't think speed,
We are wired to create stories in our heads. I used to create all sorts of stories that were disempowering especially about others and how reality worked. Choosing to create uplifting, light-hearted, and kind stories has been one the most freeing things I've done for myself.
This guy met with an accident this evening and we rushed him to the vet hospital. He's spending the night there.
No broken bones but he does have a concussion. I think he'll get better in a few days but I'm still worried.
Please do pray for his recovery.

I've started saying "I forgive myself" every time I make a mistake. I used to allow the feeling of guilt or cringe to fester for a long time. Not anymore. I give myself grace and let it go immediately.
Case in point: I wrote a response on X this evening and later saw that a
Your first priority is you. If you're my friend, I want you to first focus on filling your own cup. I want you to feel so nourished and so well in the deepest sense of the word that your cup overflows and you share some of that overflowing goodness with me.☕🌻
One of the biggest lessons I continue to internalise is to not force connections and to invest in only those people and places where I feel seen, respected, supported, and uplifted. Where there's true reciprocity.🔑✨
The biggest shift I've experienced over the past few years has been going from 'there is something fundamentally broken about me' to 'I'm inherently whole'.
Growth is now about having fun and expanding my horizons rather than a desperate attempt to fix myself.
What if you flipped the script and went on a quest to find evidence for a world that is loving, supportive, uplifting, kind, generous, open, understanding, cooperative, and curious? How would that change your reality?
I love known strangers. The woman who greets me with a vibrant smile at my favourite cafe. The people I meet online regularly but briefly.
We have no idea about each other's stories but there's a sense of camaraderie and goodwill. I cherish these connections.
The Artist's Date is rewiring my brain to accept that a couple hours every week dedicated purely to enjoying myself creatively is the most soul-nourishing thing I could do for myself.
Becoming a pro means learning to balance the yin and the yang in everything you do. Straddling seemingly opposing characteristics. Taking your work seriously while going about it in an easeful way. Bringing creativity to seemingly analytical tasks. Learning to surf the waves of
For some, looking at what others are doing (in a competitive way) is helpful. It fuels them and makes them come alive.
For others, it's a distraction and detracts from their experience. It makes them stray from their lane.
It's worth understanding what your personal
During periods of rapid growth, we oftentimes feel lost. We aren't quite fully out of our old lives but aren't fully integrated into our new realities either. This can feel disconcerting.
Just remember that this is normal. Clarity will emerge eventually. You got this.❤️✨
I grew up around an extremely controlling grandmother. When I say controlling, I mean to the extent that I wasn't allowed to arrange my own wardrobe until I was into my late teens. My every move was watched, criticized, and controlled.
She was extremely unpredictable and I never
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you are WAY more loved than you think you are. Your spirit is so endearing. You light up others' lives in ways you don't even realise. Your gifts show up in subtle and obvious ways and make the world a better place.
You are SO loved.💕✨
An idea I've been pondering:
If I'm an infinite, eternal being, what's the rush? Why have a sense of hurry to do things, to get somewhere asap?
Am I not better served by simply being here, now?
By enjoying the journey?
By simply savouring the moment?🌻✨
I'm reading The Artist's Way and doing the exercises. The more I get in touch with my Inner Artist, the more she communicates with me, and the more expression I'm able to give to her.🦋✨
What blessings are you blocking from your life because you're hyper fixated on how you think something *should* be going instead of being present to what life is actually bringing you right here, right now?
Contrary to what we expect, intuition doesn't hit us like a bolt of lightning.
It usually speaks to us quietly and calmly. It's our job to be discerning and pay attention to it when it does.
I catch myself worrying about non-existent scenarios from time to time. The futility and absurdity of it is striking.
Like, let me try to control situations that I don't even know will happen and lose my sleep and sanity in the otherwise peaceful now. What a losing proposition.
As a part of the

Having an abundance mindset means being willing to walk away from deals that don't feel good (even if you feel you need them) trusting that what you want is on its way to you.
Make your journey as beautiful, as rich, and as *you* as possible.
It's not just attaining that goal. Did you have fun on the way? Did you enjoy the process? Or did you just endure the experience, just waiting for it to end only to pick up the next miserable thing?
I used to be obsessed with how I presented myself to the world. I *had* to be bubby, charming, and positive, I thought. That path turned out to be exhausting. I am all those things in pockets of time but my emotional landscape is so much more complex than that. (1/3)
Navigating life without using your intuition is like traveling without GPS.
You'll move around a lot without direction and probably end up somewhere you didn't intend to go.
This is why I feel so moved and inspired by

PS: Thank you for doing what you do, Elle. You're an angel on earth.
A shitty day doesn't have to continue to be a shitty day.
You can tune into your body, allow whatever you're feeling to take up space, and hold it lovingly.
Once you do that, generally a spaciousness opens up that allows you to reset and start the rest of the day afresh.
Believe that more is possible. Believe that you can have it all. Let yourself dream. Allow your thoughts to linger on all those things that make your reality come alive. Trust that you live in a benevolent universe. Open yourself up to gifts you could have never imagined.❤️🌌✨
Most of us are either too fluid/unstructured or too rigid. That's another way of saying that we operate with either too much feminine energy or too much masculine energy. Once you identify which side you lean into most often, intentionally correct for it.
I highly value freedom. If you're anything like me, it's easy to fall into the thought pattern that any sort of constraints = shackles.
But what if that's not true? What if specific, chosen constraints = *more* freedom, not less?
one of the most comforting things during moments of pain is someone dear to us holding us close (literally or metaphorically) and saying, "I know, I know".
their warmth + feeling seen in our moment of vulnerability does far more to soothe us than any advice would.
My Artist's Prayer 🤲✨
Great Creator, make me an instrument of your creativity.
May I become your channel for inspiration and create things of beauty in the world.
May my words touch others, stir their emotions, and heal them and me.
May I learn to take action on the surges
I'm embracing myself as a cyclical being, especially as a woman.
There's a natural ebb and flow to my energy on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
I'm learning to tune into what my inner landscape feels like and align my actions with what my energy can best support.
We are put on this planet to exchange gifts with each other.
What you have to offer is valuable. It's being sought right now by someone else.
So if you've been thinking, "Who could possibly want my creation", this is your cue to put your unique gift out there.🤍✨
Had a pounding headache last night. I got comfortable, closed my eyes, and started breathing into the area. I did this for a few minutes and found the pain dissipating.
After an hour or so the headache was gone.
Great results don't come only because of what you *do*. They also come because of the paradigm you live in. When you change how you see reality, you also change *how* you do things. Which in turn changes the results you get.
I've been lucky to have a deeply attuned and loving mother. I can bring up anything under the sun to her and she'll meet me with warmth and openness.
She's good-natured, lit up by what she does (she's a banker turned energy healer), and loves her life.
Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I can hardly believe how blessed I am. The wildest part is that I had just as many blessings years ago. In many ways, my outer reality hasn't shifted at all.
But my inner reality has done such a massive 180 that now I have the eyes to see

We are meant to be an interdependent species. Seek the help you need to get unstuck so that you can free yourself to give your unique gifts to the world.
