How do you measure growth?

Society often defines growth in terms of achievements, wealth, or external milestones - but real growth is often subtle.

○ Is growth the ability to respond calmly to a situation that once triggered you?
○ Is growth releasing an old belief that no longer serves you?

The word of the day is: Abracadabra (noun) - According to Merriam-Webster, this means
1.) A magical charm or incantation
2.) Unintelligible language

This word has much deeper significance however when associated with the the Hebrew phrase "avra k'davra" meaning: "I will create as I speak"
#wotd

Because just like money, your energy is an investment that shapes your stability & reality in all aspects of life.

#energyiscurrency #beintentional #financialstability #shapingreality

Financial stability comes from spending only what you have and can afford...

Similarily, at the end of the day, the only true currencies you own are yourself & time.

So, be intentional with HOW you spend your time -

In the spirit of Moon day & the Law of Mentalism

Here are affirmations to embody authenticity & maintain a positive mindset:

My thoughts shape my reality, & I choose growth, wisdom, & love.

I speak my truth without fear now and always.

I release limiting beliefs & embrace opportunities.

The word of the day is:
Sonder (Noun) -
a neologism describing the feeling one has upon realizing that every individual one sees has a life as full, complex, & real as one's own, in which they are the main character & others, including oneself, have secondary or insignificant roles.

#wotd #sonder

#yinandyang #Taoism #Wuwei #philosophy #flowcoach #umbraflamma

Wu Wei (無為) translates to "non-action" or "effortless action." Expanding upon Yin-Yang, it teaches us not just about balance, but how to flow within it with ease.

This principle is at the heart of my studies & work I do to help the collective evolve.

So, how do you experience Wu Wei in your life?

☯️ The Yin-Yang Symbol

A core concept of Taoism, Yin and Yang represent two opposite yet complementary forces interacting to create balance and harmony.

This idea alone is powerful—but the true transformation comes in its embodiment.

This is where Wu Wei comes in.

Grand Rising!

The word of the day is: Foible (noun) - A minor weakness or eccentricity in someone's character.

In the spirit of self-reflection,
what would you say is a foible of yours?

#grandrising #wotd #selfreflection #foible

Remember,
Emotions (E-Motions) are "Energy in Motion"
so, rather then suppress a feeling or emotion that you're experiencing, embrace it.
Allow it to flow, because just like a moving vehicle, if you slam the brakes you will damage your car & increase the risk of an accident.

Grand Rising!

What did you do when you first woke up?

Check phone? Stretch?
Hit snooze?
Meditate? Brush teeth?
Get food? Get ready?

Whatever you did,
pay attention - the way you start the day can & will significantly impact the course for the rest of your day!

Reading "feng shui your life" by Jayme Barret & considering the increasing need for people to learn sustainable, eco-friendly practices, I wanted to share bullet points from the "green home guide" I just came across in the book!

The following are small actions you can take to become eco-friendly:

Instruments & tools each have specific abilities & typical applications, but real magic becomes present from these instruments / tools when unique, individual-perspective flow orchestrates the tone & manifests the manual.

Think outside the 📦 🤔💭
What / How do YOU see?

A Pixel Art Self-Portrait of Umbra. Features a purple backdrop night sky with three yellow stars & the moon.

I've always wanted to try doing a self-portrait, but since my past artistic ability was essentially tracing, stick figures, & little doodles, I never attempted to do so.
However - after learning & practicing #pixelart , I was able to finally give it a try!
So, here is my 2nd pixel project:
Just Me

Repeat after me:

Whenever someone talks about or uses my names,
I evolve and my life upgrades.

Semper esto quod es -
Always be what you are

In order to learn, grow, make progress, one must be willing to accept all that is current within their internal & external environment. Then, and ONLY then, will an individual evolve & flow with ease.

#numerology #significance #birthday #birthdaynumber #selfmastery #knowledge

Since it's my birthday today, in the spirit of Numerology, here's the formula to calculate your birthday number:
¤ Write out your birthday in digits
¤ Add all the digits together
¤ If the sum is a double digit, keep adding the digits until you get a single digit.
(This rule has varying beliefs)

Do you know what Numerology is?

Well, according to Oxford Languages -
Numerology is a branch of knowledge that deals with the occult significance of numbers.

One number in particular that holds great significance in a person's life according to Numerology is an individuals birthday number

Question of the day:

Typically, people believe they need many things to be happy, but in reality, fulfillment often comes from achieving just one deeply meaningful goal.
