I’m here.

Right beside you.

I will hold the candle while you explore the deep caves within.

I will hold your hand while you confront what is keeping you from moving forward in your life.

I will wipe your tears while you mourn the loss of what once was.

I will hand you the pen you had in your bag all along so that you can begin your new story.

A story of connecting with others from a heart-led place. A story of vulnerability.

And courage.

A story of becoming through the storm. A story of walking through the mud to find a lotus emerging.

Welcome, love! I’m Nikke. I am so happy you are here.

I truly believe the only way to heal the collective trauma and pain that we are all experiencing as humans on this earth right now is through healing ourselves at the individual level. By not looking away, not burying our heads in the sand. Having the courage to feel. Answering the call to be of service.

We cannot be servants of love, we cannot walk the beauty way, we cannot ascend to greater “levels” (whatever that may mean to you), if we are not all on the ship together. In this way, working on our own healing, confronting and repairing wounds we have carried all of our lives (or for many lives), is the work of our lifetime.

It is a revolutionary act.

If we are true to this way, if we are humble and courageous, if we see that we are all connected on this planet…we may begin to heal. To repair.

To heal ourselves in a sustainable and lasting way, we must allow the world to crack our hearts wide open, which will benefit all of our relations.
