Quietness has been stalking me for a while. Perhaps it’s found you, too.🫵🏻

It started around the middle of 2025 like a gentle fog curling its tendrils around and through my being, dissolving things into itself with a surprisingly subtle strength and finality.

I remember reflecting to a friend my surprise that all the momentum, the calling, and the drive of my Awakening process had changed form and seemed to have stopped. This Awakening that has had such a propulsion to serve in big and expansive ways and has moved this life immensely has slowed down and seems to be gone.

It left in its place quietness. Quietness as both dissolver and resolution. 

Stillness and silence are not new to me. They are core qualities of Awakening. Quietness is different from silence. It is a paradox to attempt to put it into words.

But I will give it a go. 💪🏻

Silence has a vastness. An absoluteness and a finality. A reductiveness and an extreme freedom. In silence, you know exactly where and what you are. You are the silence. 

Quietness is softer. Looser. More absorbent. In some ways, it is more mysterious because silence is very, very loud. My experience of Quietness is both as a state of being and as a verb. 

As a state of being, Quietness encourages me into it. Choicelessly. 

Once in it . . . I become “quiet”, “quietened”. It is peaceful. A state of rest, unmoving, without agitation. It is without momentum of any kind. There are no desires, no longings for experiences other than the quietened state. It is such a beautiful freedom in the emptiness and absence of any movement toward experience, including that generated by the propulsion of Awakening. 🧣

It is also contradictory in relation to the world we live in, a world that is driven by experiences and our accumulation of them. The constant reinforcement to identify yourself with this collecting of experiences and the never-ending process of acquiring and having them. 

In the Quiet, the verb emerges. Quiet as an absence of commotion. An absence of motion itself. 

This is not to say that this Quiet is anything that we tend to commonly associate with a term such as ‘weak’ or ‘modest’ or ‘uninteresting’ or ‘powerless’ or ‘subordinate’, the quietness that has befriended me I would describe as determined and purposeful. It is extremely powerful, fierce, wise, rich, diverse, with its own unique quality of relentlessness. 

I find myself surrendered to it. There  is no other option (I have explored!)

Quietened. 

While it absorbs me — my life, my way of being, my expression, my imagination more and more within itself, to itself, in a friendly and yet resolute way – I no longer have any doubt that my entire being and reality is simply becoming quietness. 

There is a great beauty in this quietness. I have had very little need to speak. I have had no interest in talking about anything to do with me, while ironically at the same time appearing here. Sharing with you in a meaningful way because it is so important to me that we remain in community, to continue learning from one another, and modeling together the transparency that allows each of us to relate to our human experience and its diversity. 

When Quietness at first wrapped me in its foggy nature, I was not exactly compliant – as a bubbly, vibrant and expressive Aries type personality, quietness appeared almost a disturbance. An altered state for me. 

I had to remind myself that big Awakening shifts take time. ⏳

I’m always counseling my clients to take into account the process of absorption, the time needed to transmute these lessons into the energetic and physical structures that make up our sensitive systems. Then there is the expansive space required by consciousness to make these big shifts stable. So while these new states, these altered states, are one of the traits of Awakening, it is no mean task to exist in the flux of being absorbed into something greater than the sum of its parts.

We all must stop, to be able to comprehend these times of transcendence, like a long bus ride through a remote area with no cell service, we must just sit and look at the landscape rolling by. 

A process of remembering was needed. Remembering that these big awakening shifts take time, and that within that time, there is a process of absorption into our energetic and physical human structures.

In addition to that, a level of consciousness is needed to stabilize shifts like this. So, the experience of new states of awakening being absorbed into form is one of the traits of awakening. New traits are being absorbed into something greater than its previously known self. 

As time unfurled, my Aries personality found the will to stop struggling with dissolving – there was only the presence of quietness. 🐏 It felt new. I could sense it everywhere, in all the rooms and spaces I moved through. Now it feels like the water I swim in, float in, am moved by, and I am not so aware of its nature in each moment; there is less of a discernible difference between the state of quietness and my own being.

I have no doubt that quietness will continue to consume this life for the coming year, and to some extent into the next one – this is an intuitive sense of the flow of the future. My creative explorations will be to discover what quietness has to offer to you, dear reader.

How to teach from, share from, offer, live from, and work from quietness?

I am curious. I am trusting. I am trusting that this quietness is exactly what is needed, is the medicine, the nourishment, it holds a kind of truth that is profoundly needed. There is a longing to drink from and to be with a deep, quiet well. 💦

A few things to know:

Quietness does not allow me to be anything other than what I am.

Quietness does not allow me to pretend otherwise, in order to provide comfort to another’s story. 

A few discoveries:

Quietness is a profound, unfolding beauty.

Quietness is a very, very simple love.

Quietness is a willingness to meet in that simplicity.

In Quietness, there is a great concentration of power because it is not moving, protruding, it is not generating anything, so remains concentrated and aware.

In Quietness, there is a deep clarity.

In Quietness, there is a willingness for completion.

In Quietness, there is an unrelenting sincerity and simplicity.

Quietness has its own kind of love, and I am still exploring it. 

As 2026 and quietness unfold in their own synchronicity in my world, I look forward to meeting you there. Please know that where you may have met me in the past, with expansive expression, bubbling effervescence, in the intense momentum of awakening, in profound generativity, this year we will meet in quietness. As a result, what I offer will be centered on this beautiful place. This beautiful simplicity. No big email campaigns. No big marketing strategies. 🍃

If you are interested in journeying with me, you will be invited to simply choose to follow yourself, released from any marketing voice or campaign, moved instead by your deepest nature and what is right for you, and truly welcomed from my quiet state. And from wonder. A simple invitation.

As things unfold and I discover more about immersion and merging into/as Quietness, I will report back.
