Here I am among bushes of lavenders, birds chirping all around, under the sweet sun in Ibiza.
I have just spent 10 days on the island of Mallorca and here I am now in Ibiza. After a long winter and a rainy cold spring, these days under the sun are illuminating my entire being.
During these final days of Taurus season I wanted to dedicate a substack to earthly pleasures, ease and joy.
Life has been literally bouncing me back every single time I was trying to force, make things happen these past weeks. As I have dedicated myself to doing way less and enjoying more, life wouldn’t allow me to go any other way. Especially not during Taurus season.
After rubbing some fragrant, vibrant lilac lavender flowers on my hands I’m back to these words.
I have booked my plane going to Mallorca on the 1st of May. I thought new month, new beginnings, even after a work filled April, I should go to Mallorca as soon as I could and would be able to relax there.
The day before leaving my flight got cancelled. I was confused, indecisive, tired after hours of teaching and holding a workshop. I decided to go for it, even tough I was exhausted, I chose to book a flight with a layover, leaving at 6 am…
My body was not liking the idea from the beginning. Life made sure I’d not make it :) I dragged myself to the airport, passed the security, then it hit me that for my layover in London does need me to have my passport on me. After solely traveling within Europe mainly these past years I fully ignored my nudge of taking my passport besides my ID the night before.
As the sun rose I just gave up on my flight and treated myself to breakfast at the airport lounge. I made my way back home by the time the sun reached over the neighbouring building, shining right onto my terrace, inviting to bathe in his warming light.
I’ve spent the next 3 days in Budapest, barely telling anyone I haven’t ended up leaving on my vacation yet. I’ve had the most restful, calming staycation. I have treated myself to my beloved morning practices, sauna, my favourite coffeeshop, long phone calls with my partner and bought some fresh flowers for my mum.
.
I’ve made my way to Mallorca on the 5th, the day of the full moon.
I’m here in Ibiza now, feeling light, supported, in awe of life. By the end of this Taurus season, I have at last arrived to feel into the prosperity of earthly delights - enjoying the richness of free time, the sun, fresh fruits, living in a bikini… We woke our bodies up with a gentle flow, wrote some morning pages, strolled around town, then ended up working while tanning by the pool.
This is the life that feels sensual, prosperous, makes me feel like I’m truly living. This is the life I’m dedicated to living and sharing with others. A life without forcing, a life filled with trust, a gentle appreciation for what’s gifted to us already.
Enjoy the simple pleasures of life
Love,
Zsófi
