Your Passions Don’t Feel Alive Because of This

Have you ever wanted something, you know like a wild romance, friendships that feel like family, experiences that take your breath away? 

But it’s just not happening. You finally get on the vacation, you’re finally with someone, and suddenly you’re stuck in overwhelm, in worry, in concern, and you’re maybe even getting triggered.

welcome to being human.

There’s nothing wrong with you

Hi Love, I’m Lumalia, author, retreat curator, photographer, wellness practioner on a mission to help us all have the best life possible!

I wish I’d felt those words sooner.

If you don’t have what you desire, what your passions long for

It’s not your fault

You’re not doing it wrong

It’s not, not meant for you

or not not “aligned”

blah blah

Whatever else bullshit story we tell ourselves or get told to soften our disappointments

and give up on trying. 

But what if you FELT them?

Like, actually let yourself feel the grief

the tension

the longing

"But what if you FELT them? Like, actually let yourself feel the grief the tension the longing " Lumalia in a beanch kicking her leg up

This is what all good poets

lovers

romantics know.

It’s in the anticipation

in the longing that we pull in what we desire. 

but here’s the tomfoolery of it.

We have to feel safe enough to allow our experiences in.

And that takes something called titration. 

(I know I want to fuck this too. Like UGH REALLY?) 

Yep, we have to ease ourselves into them

so we don’t’ swing back and forth between destruction and having

I don’t know about you,but this has been a hard AF lesson for me.

I’m a deep diver. I jump into the river. I don’t wade in.

If you say let’s go I say let’s go NOW! lol

"I don’t know about you, but this has been a hard AF lesson for me." Lumalia in a shadow

But our cute little humans need to practice feeling safe to HAVE. 

and that takes my least and most favorite experience

practice.

yep

just like learning to ride a bike

just like well, you know, anything in life

we have to practice receiving good things.

"we have to practice receiving good things." Lumalia with her back arched

This is EXACTLY what we are doing in Everyday Magic. In community, with me cheering you on and doing it ways that feel fun.

Not through boring somatic exercises lol (don’t get me wrong, I’m using those principles, but you’re girl is here for the magical fun of life, not just clinical material. You so go grounding, I say let’s run on the beach.) Are you with me? Let’s make it all FUN!

About the Author

Hey, I’m Lumalia, photographer, author, certified somatic movement yoga teacher, and the main voice behind Celebrate Again. I call myself a connection architect because I have a deep passion for guiding us all to fall back in love with life through states of beauty, but many of us are far from feeling at home in our own bodies, so we seek to find safety in others. 

Yikes, that’s scary, I know; I did that for three decades, too, until I returned home to myself.

I’m so excited to share with you all I’ve learned and this beautiful journey back home to what makes you absolutely stunning just because you are alive today.
