Hi! It’s me, Love.
Are you able to hear me? Please listen, it’s quite urgent.
I’m calling you to claim your inheritance. Your sacred dreams.
That which makes your heart sing and the world sing with you.
Perhaps you need to do some digging, in silence and solitude, to unearth what has been buried beneath those layers and masks you have put on- the ill-fitting clothes from others’ wardrobes you never wanted anyway. The ones that have been cutting into your skin all this while, but you’ve ignored.
What is nestled there perhaps even beneath some pride. Or is it fear?
They’ve kept you warm up until now but it’s okay to hug those old layers goodbye.
With a grateful and courageous heart, take that leap in freedom.
Into, through and beyond your fears.
We’ll catch you if you fall and be grateful that you tried.
Each step is a drop into the pool of Love.
The time is Now.
Love, Love

It’s February, 2025. There are dangerous fires raging in the world.
Unspeakable horrors of mass violence, injustice, the collapse of systems and norms, the widening divides within our collective, and the list goes on.
In the wells of grief, I hear Love calling. Her voice louder than ever, echoing in each crevice- or is it simply that I can hear her clearer from here?
For what other than Love could calm this raging fire or soothe our wounds just enough for us to take the next necessary step?
What sacred dreams and actions is she calling you towards?
What is it that lights up your heart and the hearts of others?
Your sacred dreams are not your own. There is a reason they have come to be.
They just may be your greatest offering to the world.
In one where we have been largely led to live in a dream-like state; working towards others’ ambitions that are not our own and that lead to more destruction, it has become ever-more crucial to follow our heart. Heart here, being the space which holds our deepest values and dreams that align with the common good.
Each step in our heart’s direction is a drop of cool rain on the fire.
Take that leap.
The ancestors are rooting for you and your dreams and the descendants are counting on them.
Yours truly,
Astra ♡ ̆̈

Journal/ Meditation Prompts
Here are some journal/ meditation prompts* to help you reflect. The invitation here is to find a quiet spot, where you feel comfortable and at ease to be able to look into these questions:
⭒What lights up your heart with a child-like joy?
⭒What is one simple thing you can minimise or eliminate in your life that will bring you greater joy and spaciousness?
⭒What are some simple, concrete actions of love and care within your capacity you can give to yourself each and every day?
⭒What is a simple, concrete action of love and care within your capacity you can take to support those within your local community or someone in your network this week?
⭒If you knew this was your final year on Earth in this life, what would you do with it? How would you live your day-to-day?
*Some of these prompts are inspired by The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, a course/ book that has drastically changed my life and that I would highly recommend for those interested in the intersection of creativity and inner work/ healing.

Hi! My name is Astra and welcome to my first blog post. This blog is an unfolding work-in-progress and will feature reflections of my investigations and learnings into deeper Love, understanding and growth as well as creativity and play as authentic expression. It is also a reclamation of my voice and agency in response to what is happening in the world, and one way in which I hope to contribute to the pool of Love. If any of this resonates, I hope you will join me on this journey. <3
