"At its heart, the idea of being authentic means figuring out who you are, accepting yourself, and being true to yourself" -Arin Murphy-Hiscock For me, I love the simple things and moments when I can work with nature. That's where I find authenticity in my life and where I go to spend my time when I free from other responsibilities

Being true to yourself is to honor creation. To release your inner Amazon... and I mean that both in the River sense, the online store of unlimited possibilities, and the strong inner warrior woman. I have a saying that “the greatest warrior has no enemies” because I know that the only true enemy that you can have is yourself. Even among those who oppose you or seek to control you. I love this video, and found it so beautiful and relaxing. I felt transported to a Kathmandu monastery watching a holy sand mandala being constructed. I love every little thing of nature. Nature speaks and it’s flowers are prayers to the void.

Lacuna_matata _92 you are so right, I live in the Netherlands and the village I am from there are some trees and waters but nothing as beautiful as in the video, it’s so unfortunate and I really hate that the only real nature that the Netherlands has is the Veluwen but that’s like a 1,5 hour drive...

I feel like she's a real life Disney princess. I was just waiting for all the forest animals to come and help her clean up! ❤

Why am I in tears? I feel like I’m longing to just let everything go. I’ve always wanted to live countryside. Free. Connected to nature. Like wanting to go home. I’ve never really fit in anywhere and while I can and do inspire others with my loving heart and generous nature, I feel so empty. Alone, even in a crowd or surrounded by loved ones. Seen, but not truly heard nor understood. Perhaps, I’m channeling. But the feelings are there, just the same.

I'd like to know how it is possible to live like this in a capitalist society. Most of us are forced to work for corporations that demand we "act" a role rather than be our true selves.

@Satinenitas

4 жыл бұрын

The worst is that in this society we are teached to fit in a pattern and play a role so that we forget how to stay connected with our true self and needs. But it's not that people wouldn't be able to perform so that the corporations get the result they need if everyone would be more authentic. Happiness is not the worst for productivity 😄 The problem is that more authentic living people will need less luxurious products for compensation and this would be a problem for the capitalism itself...😅 so very likely the system will not change by intention from the executive floor. There's a lot to discuss about this topic but I am sure a little change will come step by step from people changing their view about life. For me to get inspiration and encouragement from others is a blessing to tape steps forward for myself 😌

Yeah this is hard, esp as a woman of color and empath, capitalism doesn’t make it easy for us to thrive. I try to find ways to self soothe, build up my capacity, so that way I can organize and fight against capitalism. If possible in your workplace find allies to support you. Outside of work, find a cause and purpose you support, research groups that are doing that work so it doesn’t feel so isolating, and you can be yourself. That’s one of the worst things under capitalism. Isolation and alienation. Take care of yourself :)

It’s all about INNOVATION. Uranus in Taurus is begging us to find new ways to build and create. Innovate how we see and “need” money. When we release the fear of being “tied down” to the system, we make and invite more room for creativity that most certainly can guide us to financial independence. But many of us are too concerned and in fear that we don’t even give it a try, we are impatient and non-trusting. This is why working on the Self is the first step to freedom in all areas of life. Sending love, health and prosperity to all that read ♥️

I'm at a place in life where it is so hard to be still, and watching this, I just felt like I could b r e athe. I live in the city- it's noisy, it's busy, I always have to do something, I'm always struggling or thinking of money and ways to do better the next day- at the moment I can only dream of this kind of life- which would be my ideal. I love nature. I love art. I love living small and peacefully. I grew up in a small valley, with bush surrounding my home and riding a horse through the neighbours orchard, walking barefoot to school and planting trees with our teacher. I miss that so much.

Whenever I'm feeling anxious or panicky, I come back to this video and become inspired. 💜

I'm taking whatever steps I can to eventually live this life. We can never get there if we don't act. I'd love to hear how everyone is working towards their more authentic life--maybe we can learn from each other! ⚘🌿🌻🌸🌱🌲

So lovely. My cats would have knocked the flowers off the table in a second...lol. I work from home too and it is the best thing I've ever done. Taking time to do things by hand, take a walk in the forest when I want to, spend time with my family and 7 kitties, bake bread, drink tea and read books (non-fiction of course as I love to learn when I read), these things are what make an incredible life. Your videos are just gorgeous and so calming. Thank you! Blessed Be, fellow Witch.

Thank you, Annie ! What a beautiful message, slowing down is so important. Your video was a reminder for me to slow down and enjoy this very moment. I often question why I tend to rush through tasks to try and finish them the quickest I can. This is a cultural wound that we all have ingrained in us. Thank you for being such an inspiring example of how we don't have to live in the American ( and really the world ) conditioning of creating as much and as fast as possible.

You have so much wisdom for one so young. Thank you for sharing these lovely moments.

I think you are a brilliant videographer, so much talent there! Most importantly you are a great story teller, giving us both insight and inspiration about how we can rediscover magic in the mundane everyday tasks. Your walk to get some fire wood, your stirring up custard or lining up little cakes on a tray seems so magical. Thank you for reminding us what most of us left behind in our childhood - the wonder and amazement of the world and life we live in!

What a lovely dream, but the paint on my house is peeling, the spring pump is failing and covered in poison ivy, the grass grows quicker than I can mow it , my windows are dirty and the dust in my halls is mixed with the bodies of many stink bugs. If I walked on my property barefoot I would be covered in bug bites or weed rashes, and if I wore linen I would have to spend a good part of my morning ironing.That is the reality of living in the country without large resources. No one would find my day to day photogenic....pray tell how you accomplish it. It is lovely , indeed and for sure I am jealous. I just want others out there to not feel less than ...if your life is less than you tube ready. Perhaps you can give me some pointers, I too live in Virginia, find beauty in the simplest things but the day to day with physical limitations and small resources feel like I am loosing ground constantly.
