Growing Gray with Gratitude - Meditation over Medication

Hello friends,

I was also in Costa Rica in October for a tax conference with my partners and coworkers. We had a schedule of morning with seminars and learning sessions and then we went have fun in the afternoon.

Fun

We took on a 2.5 hours jetski tour around the bay entering into some river see crocodiles, fish, birds and hiked to view points at some of the best beach. That plus dipping in the beautiful sea and waterfalls in the middle of the rainforest made my adventurous heart so full!

I used to structure this Newsletter as: Health / Wealth / Growth but now I will add Fun to share my experience and fun adventures as well just to challenge myself to have more fun in life.

We have won the external world game - now living with much privilege in America, I have most of the things I need and want externally - but know how to enjoy the worldly world that I am living in is another game. It’s a life long journey learning to enjoy the moment!

Health: Meditation over Medication

If there’s one gift that I can give to everybody to thank you for being my Newsletters reader, it’s the Love Your Body 2 meditation audios.

I have been practicing the meditation called Love your body from Dr Joe Dispenza for a few months on and off.

I believed it helped me process a lot of the traumas that my body has been through and helped me heal.

Yesterday again it brought me back some memories that my body store, I remember the yearning for love and belonging and acceptance, oh hi all the exes! Also the experience from my first spiritual retreat and a strong craving for nature and being in nature.

Today the memory that came up was when I was pregnant and the feeling before birth and the blurry memories during that time of pushing and then period of healing after birth and start nursing and nurturing my son.

Then the awareness just came:

So it’s for those big moments that I have been preparing for my whole young adult love life! I’ve been looking for acceptance, looking for that masculine containment so I can create. It all comes back to the moment of giving birth. I was looking for someone who spend that moment feeling so safe and so sure to create with.

The biggest things I was looking for were that his heart is opening big time unconditionally and unreasonable to me, that he treasures me and treats me as tender as possible. And that’s Sasha - my dear husband.

As I contemplating on feminine and masculine energy more and more, my own feminine energy is very much like being an artist and being a creator. When I can create, I feel the most feminine and aligned with my true self.

Someone might think that Sophie is a ruthless business woman, whatever but ultimately I’m just an artist, and I was looking for a safe place to create. Business is an art of bringing a vision to life after all. And my husband has been the person who’s holding the space for me to do just that. I felt an overwhelming gratitude for my husband and his love after the meditation.

Wealth

I wrote the first thank you letter to my clients at my tax and accounting firm. I hit the big important promotion with the company I represent. So last year, I did pretty well in terms of making progress toward wealth.

Growth

I’m growing my hair out and stop coloring it so my hair will come out showing all the gray. I was afraid of seeing my hair gray and feel old. Because I am afraid, I have to do it to confront that fear and face the truth of how much gray I have now.

Good news is in my mom’s case, her hair is growing brown again after 3 years of working out consistently, so reversing gray is possible. I might end up working out more often with the gray hair reminder.

I’m finishing up this letter after a beautiful day of Thanksgiving having traditional American food for lunch with our new friends and dinner with our best friends Son and Nick.

Wishing you all great health and great joy!

With love and gratitude,

Sophie Nguyen
