spontaniously recorded a wrap up of my series UNHIDDEN. I can't belive it's already over and that we're at the end of September. I hope all of you were able to learn something usefull. Here are three last journal questions:
1. If I look back at the year were there any triggering situations? if yes what have I learned out of it?
2. If I could speak to my future version what would I tell them rn?
3. Have I seen any good signs lately? what is the universe telling me?
You are a miracle ☀️

UNHIDDEN DEEP SELFLOVE MEDITATION
A meditation I created to give yourself the love you never received from ur parents. To learn how to connect to your heart and self. Find some peace and love inside of your heart. Let ur soul rest in this deep embrace.
I included some buddhistic practices of sending love to other people and a calming exercise to release anxiety. The tapping exercise is something my therapist told me that really helps to calm the nervous system by activating both sides of ur brain.
I hope this meditation will help you to create more mindfulness and safety for yourself.
The journal prompts for this episode:
1. What means selflove to me?
2. Where in my body can I feel it?
3. What do I love about myself? (Mention little details like ur eye color or something you do)
You are a miracle ☀️

UNHIDDEN EPISODE TWO
Welcome to episode numer two of UNHIDDEN. I'm talkig about my coming out story and how I felt growing up. That society never felt like a save space and that I wish we all could walk around being ourselfs. Showing our colors and just beeing weird and goofy. How hard it is to open up to new ppl and what I would tell my younger self. Kowing that somebodys discomfort about your sexuality or identity say's more about them then about you. You deserve to be loved just as you are.
