KEY TAKEAWAYS Life is always giving us signs and signals to show us when something is not working or when we are on the right path. Connecting to our inner child and releasing suppressed emotions and blockages is essential for personal growth and finding true happiness. Balancing high-pressure jobs with spiritual practices, such as meditation or mindfulness, is crucial for maintaining a state of balance and well-being. Combining spirituality and religion is possible as long as it aligns with your own beliefs and allows for a direct connection to your higher self and divine energy. Creating a space of beauty and harmony, whether through light colours, nature, crystals, or candles, can enhance our spiritual practices and bring a sense of peace and joy. BEST MOMENTS "Life is always talking to you, it's always bringing you signs that something is not working or something. Or when something is working, when you are on your soul path, you feel so much abundance and so much flow and doors opening." "Pressure comes from the fact that you don't believe in yourself and you don't believe in life as a giver." "If you're doing any practice that is telling you you have an obligation to do something that goes against your heart and you feel it, you feel obliged, you feel it's heavy, you feel it doesn't work for you, you have to stop because that means that you are under the influence of something that is limited, that is human, and that has nothing to do with God." "Success is not about what you get. It's exactly about knowing who you are and expressing who you are." "Beauty is harmony. I think that I have a different way to see beauty. But if I'm going in a hotel, for example, I need some energy reminders, you know, like crystals. I bring a little crystal. I bring a little goddess that I travel, that is always travelling with me."   GUEST RESOURCES www.karenruimy.com www.kalmarlifestyle.com  www.sadlerswells.com/whats-on/house-of-flamenka-2023 Karen’s Instagram   ABOUT THE HOST NATALIYA LLOYD is a Design Entrepreneur & Celebrity Podcaster based in London and working globally.   CONTACT DETAILS You can connect with Nataliya on: LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/nataliyalloyd Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nataliyalloyd_official/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/NataliyaLloydInteriors/ Her website www.nataliyalloydinteriors.com This show was brought to you by Progressive Media
