So I just took a much deserved 3 day trip to the Cedarberg here in S Africa and stayed at a place where you can hike up the beautiful mountains and then soak in natural hot springs under the stars ⭐️

My mother-in-law invited me to go, and it was a much needed break away — the first real healing time away anywhere since my father passed in late January 2022.

What a beautiful experience! ❤️

On the first morning after arriving, most were too tired to do a sunrise hike, but I got ready to go as I was in bed early, and my meditation practice helps rebuild my energy fast! 

But as I was about to go out, my son — who’s 5 — asked “daddy, can I come with you?”

I could see my wife needed some quiet time, so I agreed. I didn’t think I would see the sunrise but I left it up to the Universe… I let go of my attachment to a certain result and just enjoyed being in the moment with my son, and having fun helping him up the rockier, steeper paths.

We smelt the freshness of the forest, listened to the insects and birds, felt the cool wind on our faces and practised just “being still” as we climbed.., of course, 5 year olds do have a lot of questions 🤣

What was truly incredible and auspicious was that we came to the summit, we saw the sun poking its head out! 🌞❤️💪🙏

That was 30 mins after the official sunrise time… because the sun had to rise over the mountain peaks in front of us, not just the first line of the horizon, and this is precisely the thought that flashed acrossed my mind when I set off with my son. 

I took advantage by doing some sun gazing, an ancient yogic technique to draw in more prana and activate the solar body, or energy body. The ancient Egyptians called it the KA body.

So, the message I received to share with you is, “TRUST the divine order of things and let go!”

Take action but let go.

The seed and the fruit are ONE. ☝️
