Last week, the children and I met up with some friends at a nature reserve. The place was lovely, but it was close to the motorway, so there was a constant background noise. We sat by the lake while the children played joyfully. “It’s so beautiful here. I wonder what it would be like without […]

One sunny afternoon, I was playing a ball game in the garden with Aliya (7) and Marcel (9) when, suddenly, Aliya threw the ball at Marcel and it hit him hard in the chest. Rage rose in him within seconds, and he was just about to attack Aliya. He screamed and ran towards her like […]

I was watching videos of yoga teachers doing incredible things with their bodies last night, and I became tense. The thoughts started spinning in my head: “I can’t do those poses.” “Is it still ok for me to be a yoga teacher?” “There are so many yoga teachers who are better than me.” And then… […]

For the last two months I have been putting all my energy and attention into starting BodyAwake® Yoga in Derby. After a year of the teaching certification program, I felt a strong urge not to wait, but to start sharing this beautiful work of Dr Sue Morter and the Morter Institute with others. It’s thanks […]

It’s nine in the evening. The boys have just come back from their chess club, which they love. I can see that Marcel (9 years old) is not himself. I’m curious, because he usually comes back from these classes beaming from ear to ear. I ask the children to go upstairs together and slowly get […]

We went to the lake in the afternoon. The weather was beautiful—sunny and calm, without a breath of wind. We could already feel spring in the air! We spent a long time skimming stones across the water, and when we finished playing, Aliya (6 yo) asked me: “Mum, are you a child or an adult?” […]

It was over two years ago when I checked my mailbox and my body filled with warmth, joy and excitement – Mei-lan Maurits, together with Ali Pervez Mehdi, announced their very first live concert in London. I’ve been a big fan of Mei-lan’s music, meditations and programmes. Her courses have helped me immensely to find […]

Do you remember the story of Aladdin and his magic lamp with a genie who made his every wish come true? You might think that things like this only happen in fairy tales. Not quite the truth. Here is one of the greatest, unshakable certainties: THE UNIVERSE ALWAYS SAYS “YES.” What does it say yes […]

About 10 months ago we finished our traveling adventure and decided to come back to the UK. We bought a 120-year-old house which had been owned by only two lovely families. It has very spacious, light-filled bedrooms and a beautiful garden abundant with flowers, fruit trees and fruit bushes. It also has a vine. We […]

Last night, my cousin spontaneously took me out to a pub. She was joined by three of her friends. One of them started talking about her job — she’s a tour guide and travels all over the world. She said she’s had enough of living in hotels and constantly living out of a suitcase. She […]

I sat in a meditation just before going to sleep. I was furious. I don’t remember the last time I felt so much anger. I was angry at the thoughts in my head. I don’t swear, but I was swearing like crazy in my mind at my thoughts. “How long will I carry this shit […]

A couple of days ago in the morning I felt a strong, heavy, tight energy in the body, and the judging thoughts quickly kicked in. They were so overwhelming and loud that I struggled to keep my attention on the sensations in the body. It felt like they were all there was. I went for […]

I was lying in bed with Aliya next to me, ready to drift off to sleep, when suddenly she asked me:   “What is your one dream?” “Hmmm…” I paused for a moment. “I would love to feel love all the time,” I answered. “But everything is love! The whole world is love! How can […]

It was a very warm, sunny morning. We sat by the table eating breakfast. And breakfast is not really my favourite time of the day, as usually at least one of the kids moans: “Porridge again?!” or “Those scrambled eggs taste funny,” or “Noooo! Not the pancakes!” So, there is a lot of breathing involved […]

Since we came back to the UK — the same city where we used to live before our travels—I found myself feeling very tense in a series of situations that triggered a wave of old thought patterns. My skin began to worsen, and symptoms of rosacea returned. It felt like a huge setback. I thought […]

I’ve been doing quite a bit of gardening lately. One day, I glanced over at the beautiful red tulips, opening their petals in the bright, warm sunlight. I stood there in awe, admiring the connection between the light and the flower. The more warmth the flower receives, the more it opens. And it struck me […]

It happened while we were in New Zealand, getting ready for bed. Aliya and I shared a room, while the boys slept in the other room with Sylwester. But that night, Sylwester had to work until midnight, so he wasn’t there to fall asleep with them. “I can’t sleep when Daddy isn’t with us,” Marcel […]

We spent over a week at Sylwester’s parents’ house before our departure for Italy. My in-laws’ home is a place where I always notice the progress I’ve made in expanding my consciousness, as well as the energetic gaps I still need to “patch up.” In the past, just thinking about stepping into that heavy, dense […]

I was in the kitchen with the children and my Mum. Wiktor was sitting at the table reading a book, Aliya was cuddling me while sitting on my lap, Marcel was lying on the floor, and Mum was tidying up the countertop. I was telling my mum something when suddenly Marcel joined the conversation: “Because […]

I’ve been reflecting on the festive season and would like to to share with you how I experienced recent Christmas. It felt very rich on the inside. For the first time, I wasn’t exhausted by the preparations, including the cooking that usually consumes two-three days before Christmas Eve, which we celebrate here in Poland. Each […]

We planned to visit Goteborg . Before we left, I snapped a little at Sylwester. Overall, there wasn’t much joy in us. We walked around the shops a bit and reached a park. We found a bench and sat there for a long time, just feeling somewhat down. Suddenly, Wiktor asked me, “How do you […]

We were driving the car when Marcel started shouting out loud. ‘Hey Google! I love you!’ ‘Hey Google! You are really good!’ Then he said to me with so much joy and sparkle in his eyes. ‘Mum! When I speak nice things to Google, he says thank you! It feels very nice! When I’m kind […]

Wiktor and I were alone in the room, lying on the bed. He wanted to tell me something. He said that some memories had been coming back to him, and he didn’t like them. Wiktor is usually introverted, so I knew instantly that this must be something significant for him. I took a few gentle, […]

We were finally leaving our house to explore Port Arthur in Tasmania when Aliya started crying because Marcel had apparently hit her. She turned back and said she wasn’t coming with us. So, we waited another 10 minutes until she was ready to join us again. Meanwhile, Marcel asked if he could give away his […]

Photo taken by Samiya Talukder  It’s been about three weeks since we arrived in Fiji. Aliya has been experiencing mild tummy aches and diarrhoea from time to time. Nothing too serious. One night, however, she developed a high temperature which lasted for three days. Just when it seemed her health was finally stabilising, she suddenly […]

We spent three hours in Hobart shopping for clothes for the kids, which Sylwester didn’t enjoy much. By the time we were done, we were all quite hungry. We knew a really good café with delicious food on the way home, but we needed to hurry, or it would close. So, we rushed to the […]

We were lying on the bed when Wiktor asked, “What exactly is the mind?” “The mind is energy stored both outside your body and within the cells of your body.” “What is it for?” “It creates.” “What does it create?” “Your life experience.” He glanced at Marcel, who was sitting by the table, holding onto […]

Marcel had been trying to catch a Tasmanian skink lizard, which moves very quickly and hides in fallen timber. He was so patient and focused, and eventually, he caught one. He was over the moon. It was a truly touching moment for me and Sylwester, as Marcel was radiating love and joy. He was so […]

Do you know when someone says something in THAT particular tone of voice? The one that triggers you so much? Well, that happened to me the other day when Sylwester spoke to me in THAT specific tone. I paused for a second. Aliya was next to me, and she quickly covered my eyes with her […]

One morning, Sylwek saw a notice on a poster pillar about a chess tournament for children and adults. The boys are total chess freaks, so as soon as we told them about it, they immediately wanted us to sign them up. The first day of the competition arrived. The boys were very excited! In the […]

“Are you able to feel love on command?” I asked Wiktor before sleep, as we were lying in bed. He closed his eyes and began to breathe more deeply. “Yes,” he replied. “Wow. And how does it feel?” “Nice,” he answered, smiling. “When I feel love now, it feels tickly, vibrating, and expanding in my […]

The day finally came for our year-long travel adventure. We first flew from Poland to Greece and spent one night in Athens. After arriving at our booked apartment, Aliya became more whingey than usual. We went out for dinner, but she refused to eat and kept saying she had a tummy ache. She had never […]

I hear calling from the bathroom. “Muuuuuum!!! Can you come??!!!” The tone of voice tells me something has happened—something I won’t be happy about. I feel a knot forming in my stomach, and my mind says “I don’t want to go there.” I ask Sylwester if he can go to the bathroom because Marcel needs […]

I’m hearing the boys having a conversation in the kitchen. “What is current made of?” asked Marcel. “Energy,” answered Wiktor. “Ah, energy.” “Everything is made of energy, you know.” “And what is energy made of?” “Love.”

I’m extremely happy to be taking part in Dr Sue Morter’s year-long course called Live Awake. I’ve printed out the first part of the workbook, and I love browsing through its beautiful pictures. One of the techniques she teaches is about concentrating on the subject—the Self—instead of the object, which can be a person, thing, […]

Sylwester and I have set an alarm with a beautiful tone that rings every hour and a half throughout the day, from 8:30 am to 7 pm. It reminds us to feel the vibration of love and gratitude in our bodies for whatever we are dreaming of manifesting in our life. We do this for […]

We visited Sarah Island, a place which in 1833 was turned into one of the most remote convict settlements in Tasmania. The energy there felt very heavy. We stood in front of some remaining ruins of the buildings and read a few facts about them. Marcel kept asking questions and couldn’t understand why people behaved […]

I sat on the sofa, experiencing sadness. Recently, we needed to give away our allotment plot as we didn’t have time to fully commit to growing our own fruits and vegetables. We had enjoyed it for 6 years. Additionally, we were convinced that we’ve sold a piece of land. However, the man who initially accepted […]

Marcel, age 6, suddenly got angry after dinner. “I want to go to the shop today and buy that Lego bunny set!” he shouted. “Only 2 more nights, and then we will go to the shop,” said his dad. “I want to go to the shop today! Or tomorrow! Not in 2 nights!!” Now, he […]
