A great portion of the world has been living believing in a mirage as reality.
Something that appears to be a reality but is not actually real.
What the human race for so long has equated to be reality is their physical existence.
Can we perceive reality?
I don’t know about you, but I feel that I have a perfectly good perception of reality. Inside my head is a vivid depiction of the world around me, replete with sounds, smells, colour and objects. So it is rather unsettling to discover this might all be a fabrication. Some researchers even contend that the live-stream movie in my head bears no resemblance whatsoever to reality.
In some senses, it is obvious that subjective experience isn’t the whole story. Humans, unlike bees, don’t normally see ultraviolet light; we can’t sense Earth’s magnetic field, unlike turtles, worms and wolves; are deaf to high and low pitch noises that other animals can hear; and have a relatively weak sense of smell.
“Everybody knows that we don’t see all of reality.
I say we see none of it”
On top of this, our brain presents us with only a snapshot. If our senses took in every detail, we would be overwhelmed. Did you notice the last time you blinked, or that fleshy protuberance called your nose that is always in your peripheral vision? No, because your brain edits them out. “A lot of what our senses are doing is something like data compression: simplifying, in order to be able to function,” says Mazviita Chirimuuta at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
In fact, most of what you “see” is an illusion. Our eyes aren’t all-seeing, but capture fleeting glimpses of the outside world between rapid movements called saccades. During these, we are effectively blind because the brain doesn’t process the information that comes in when they happen. If you doubt this, stare into your own eyes in a… You’re touching on a profound topic about perception and reality. The quote you mentioned suggests a philosophical view that our perception of reality is limited or even nonexistent. Indeed, our brains filter and process the vast amount of information we encounter, presenting us with a manageable version of reality. This selective attention helps us focus on what’s important and prevents sensory overload.
As for the unnoticed details like blinking or the fleeting moment that was cut off in your message, these are often overlooked because they’re automatic processes or because our attention is directed elsewhere. It’s a fascinating aspect of human cognition that we continuously adapt to our environment by focusing on certain stimuli while ignoring others to better navigate our world.
If you’re interested, I can delve deeper into the cognitive science behind perception and attention. Would you like that?

“Reality” is constructed by your brain. Here’s what that means, and why it matters.

Have you noticed repeating patterns in the conflicts or challenges that arise in your life?
Dear Younger Me | MercyMe – YouTube
There are certain parts of this Earth that hold an extra special energy..
Much like Sedona Arizona Redrock Country in the United States of America
Lake Atitlan in Guatemala is one of those extra special, very sacred places. 
I’ve experienced such deep revelations, catalysts and transformations in the lands of Atitlán-which is a native Mayan word meaning:
“The place where the rainbow gets its colors” 
And this name is no coincidence, the energy of this land will illuminate your colors too. 
Journeying to these kinds of spiritual vortexes will ALWAYS catalyze transformation in your life, in some way or another. And when we journey into these lands with intention,
Mother Earth meets our intention with a divine force of magic & support. 
We’re heading back to this sacred Mayan heartland for the journey of a lifetime in October for a week of connection, exploration, spiritual expansion and liberation.
Practice: Yoga, Kundalini, Qi Gong, Breathwork, Vocal Activations & Meditations
that teach you how to harness and channel your own energy in a powerful way. 
Learn: The ancient understandings of Ayurveda that provide a profound elemental understanding of your unique body type,
providing you with tools to maintain harmony & balance in your body through lifestyle & diet. 
Experience: Connection to nature in the beautiful herbal sanctuary of Casa Curativa, crafting your own herbal medicine from plants picked straight off the land, a sunrise hike over Lake Atitlán,
and so much more.
If you’re feeling the call in your heart, I invite you to say yes and lean in to letting
the greater force of your heart’s wisdom lead the way. 
That’s because the universe is trying to show you something
Your soul signed up to learn these lessons and heal the karmic patterns of your lineage
Can you look into the eyes of those who challenge & frustrate you and
see their soul beyond the veil of their human vessel? 
The truth is, those who challenge and trigger you most in life are your master teachers.
There was a time that you made a pact to help each other learn
the hard lessons in this Earth school experience
The effect of the human dream state causes us to forget what we signed up for when we decided to incarnate on Earth
We get caught in an illusion state of feeling like we are a victim to the challenges & conflicts we experience
But make no mistake, the challenges you face are divinely designed for your soul’s growth and healing
And you chose this for yourself
At any moment you can wake up & look through a new lens
So, you don’t have to repeat the cycle again
Seek the lesson
Receive the message
Change the pattern
When you pray for something, the how and the when is not up to you
When we pray for alignment, that may come to us in the form of things,
people and occupations falling away
When we call in or pray for a vision to become reality,
the divine will orchestrate the manifestation in ways you cannot predict
When you are manifesting a vision, it is vital to recognize that all moving pieces are supporting that vision coming to life
Even when you don’t quite understand the why.
Because it is not your job to control the how and the when
Your only responsibility is to trust, and listen for the messages and the lessons along the way
When things fall away you can certainly trust that it is the divine force of dissemblance clearing your path of anything that is not in harmony
with the vision you have been calling in. 
Take a little journey back in time with me…
Someone out there once said that if you don’t look back at younger versions of yourself and cringe a little bit then you’re not growing
Today I’m reflecting on the younger versions of me who created the woman I am today. 
And while there are definitely parts of those past versions of me that I could cringe at.. 
Like the 22 year old me that subconsciously used yoga as a way of elating my ego through advanced poses & the status of being a teacher…
Or the 20-year-old me that continuously repeated self-sabotaging patterns even though she knew things needed to change…
Today- 27-year-old me holds ALL of those past versions of me with so much love and reverence because she learned from those mistakes & made me who I am today. 
Some of you have been following my page from the beginning and have seen this journey of evolution from a festi girl on an adventure to a spiritual woman on a mission.
What a JOURNEY it has been
So, here’s a little look at my journey,
and all the versions of me that shaped me into who I am today.
When we love & honor the past versions of ourselves we can draw upon
the wisdom from their experiences & mistakes with strength.
This is the way of the Sovereign Woman.
My 1:1 Sovereign Reclamation mentorship is open.
If you desire to dig deeper into healing trauma imprints from childhood, rewiring subconscious patterns and reclaiming your birth-right to freedom, this is for you.
Have you ever had one of those experiences of extreme contrast that shows you how much you’ve changed?
Like revisiting an old friend, seeing them in the same exact place as they were years ago, and feeling the stark contrast of how much you’ve changed while they have stayed exactly the same?
Yesterday I made a spontaneous trip to go see an artist play at a festival, which I rarely do anymore since stepping fully into a conscious path of purpose these last 4 years.
And I had such a profound experience just feeling the contrast between who I am now, and who I once was.
I looked all around me at people numbing & disassociating on party drugs, and I remembered how that used to be me
And while I had an amazing time seeing one of my favorite artists, what that experience gave me more than anything was an opportunity to feel the contrast.
Where I used to look around and see people numbing with drugs and escaping their reality
Now I look around and see a nurturing community of people who honor heart centered presence, awareness and wellbeing
And it reminded me how our environment influences who we are!
There was a time in my life where I was still that festi girl, but something inside of me was changing. My body was screaming for better.
And I knew that I had to let go of those old pieces of me to make room for new ways to blossom.
There was a period of time that I had to spend in solitude.
Letting go, of the parts of me that no longer aligned with who I wanted to become. 
And as I was changing, I started putting myself in environments with people who lived in a way that was more aligned with who I wanted to be.
The people & activities we fill our lives with can either hold us back,
or empower us to blossom…
Put yourself in spaces with people who inspire you to grow, to flourish into the greatest version of you.
This is why I love retreats- we all come together CHOOSING to grow, and the energy we all bring empowers that intention greater than we ever could alone.
Join me next for a deep soul metamorphosis in Guatemala,
and immerse yourself in a space of transformation.
Join us next in Guatemala this coming October
for The Sacred Rebirth
Navigating this is the challenge of being a living, thinking person.
But simply acknowledging it and trying to put it into practice is a good place to start.
I know I will try to keep remembering that reality always seems real.
Even when I mess it up.
