How to romanticize life in a practical way

How being intentional about life looks like. This isn't a trend to follow, but a conscious exercise to connect deeper with your body.

Before you hit play, can you take a moment to read what I intentionally wrote to you today?


This is part two of a five posts series - Grounding Your Way into Clarity: 5 Steps to Getting Clear About What You Truly Want.

If you’re arriving now, here is where you can find episode one - How to have freedom with structure. (Happy to have you here!)

The episodes are building upon each other, so I strongly recommend you start by listening to the one before that - Nurturing the body to feed the mind, as the guided inner journey activity has been the baseline for everything we’re doing for the 5 weeks of June.


Hello beautiful soul!

Thank you for taking the time to start here first.

Today’s episode was very interesting to sense and connect to, and I really wanted to highlight some things to you, before you start listening to the message. You’ll see right at the beginning of the episode, when I share how I experienced what’s coming for us.

But there’s something else that came for me.

I’ve been noticing life putting me directly in moments I need to be, in order to connect deeply, and really feel the energy of what needs to come forward, be it through the Podcast or my work in general.

I shared a little about it here:

I was initially intrigued by this aspect of contrast, but then I understood why it was coming forth. This is the way through which we have the chance to differentiate what we experience - discerning and having a clearer view of what works and what doesn’t work for us, in all aspects of our living.

More and more, we’re being called to regain a conscious notion of our reality. Knowing it is so easy to give in to what our mind brings, getting lost in our thoughts, or even numbing ourselves through hours of screen time, work, day dreaming, our bodies are the ones being constantly override, and suffering the most.

Last week’s guided inner journey exercise - about exploring what personal freedom means to us - helped me truly see how that was happening in my own life.

I shared a note in the CHAT about it. It was such a meaningful moment to me.

The past two activities - the Wheel of Life and the Personal Freedom exercise - have become my favourite ones. Honestly. They are really, really powerful tools for getting a much more realistic and direct orientation on how we want to navigate life.

Bringing in a Human Design point of view, last week, we were under the frequency of two gates: 5 and 35.

Gate 5 is about fixed rhythm and patience. We can look at it through the lens of timing, or consistency that comes with alignment. And gate 35 is about progress and experience, evolution, and change.

Can you already see the direct connection with all we’ve been receiving through the messages these past weeks?

When I say it’s not by chance, it really isn’t.

When we work in alignment with these energies, we are looking at:

  • trusting our pace

  • honouring our routines (when they feel right)

  • not rushing through life

  • allowing energy to flow in a steady and consistent way

  • embracing change

  • evolving through doing

When we look at their opposite, or shadows, it looks something like:

  • impatience

  • trying to force timing

  • comparing our pace to others

  • frustration when things don’t move fast enough

  • chasing experiences to feel fulfilled

  • boredom

  • feeling like nothing is ever enough

  • restlessness (“what’s next?”)

See why it’s so important to look at both ends?

The contrast between the Light and the Shadow of these gates - let’s put it this way - and life in general, is what helps us understand ourselves better and look at the areas we need to place more awareness on.

I wanted to bring this to your attention today, because the moment we’re currently living in literally calling us to progress, to build, to change (this is actually the name of the main card in next week’s episode).

But it’s not under the lens of “what’s next”, for the sake of looking for the new thing to do, read, taste, see, and so on. This is a reflection of apathy and superficiality more than curiosity and trust.

How many times have you actually read a self-help book and done the proposed reflections and activities? Really, let’s be honest. And upon finishing reading the book, what did you do? Look for the next title that interested you, in the hope of finding the answers you were looking for?

I’m right there with you. I’ve also ‘suffered’ from that “next” syndrome.

And that’s why I’m trying to get your attention to read this piece - I hope it worked, and that you’ve made it to this point. Don’t stop just yet!

One of the things I’ve proposed to myself this year, upon deciding on my word for 2026 - Presence, was that I was going to fully commit to my wellbeing.

This does not make me perfect or anything in that regard, I’m just a human being, like you, trying to commit more to what she says. Because, like many of us, I also have a bookshelf filled with super interesting titles, but it wasn’t with every one of them that I engaged with what was being asked to reflect and learn.

I can 100% say that, for every time I followed it through, I saw a direct result, in my life, in what I was learning.

It may seem obvious to say that, but it’s not obvious to think we will always engage with, or bring forward, the opportunity we’re being offered.

So today, if I could honestly give you a piece of advice: do the exercises. It can be literally life changing.

Trust the natural rhythm of life. Trust that everything needs time to grow. Don’t rush through things, anxiously seeking the next miraculous thing that will save you from yourself. You already have resources available to you, right now.

Use them. Truly engage with them.

This is the energy we’re under, and life is inviting us to learn how to have consistency, rhythm, and pace, so we can progressively grow, change and evolve.

Trust the timing!


Love is in the air…

This week we’re being called to bring romance into our lives, but in a practical and realistic way.

Gathering everything you will hear in today’s message, you’ll notice the opportunity life is giving us to start living a life that is deeply in alignment with how we want to feel today. Not tomorrow, not someday, T.O.D.A.Y!

Throughout this week, I will be sharing different ideas and ways through which real people are tapping into these romantic vibes, connecting to their dreams and aspirations (feminine energy) to bring them into our physical world (masculine energy) - Remember the importance of balancing both energies? We talked about it in this episode - Nurturing the body to fee the mind.

As small or as big as an idea can be, in the end it’s about how it makes us feel. And that’s what you’ll be invited to exercise this week.

To inspire you even more, follow along and look for the posts like the one below. They will be under this energy of LOVE, MADE VISIBLE.

I shared more about it in the article I wrote to you yesterday. In case you didn’t have a chance to check it out, here it is for you - LOVE, MADE VISIBLE.

There you will also find an incredible resource to help you ground yourself even more - made by another beautiful soul in the spirit of being hands on, supporting one another and tapping into how we want to feel now.

Take a look!

An extra dose of inspiration and guidance

Look at this card.

Look at what it says.

What was once will no longer allow for what must come to be. It is time to let it go.

It can be a challenge to maintain a consistent state of happiness when you’re feeling low, lacking in energy or experiencing mood shifts that do not seem to have a source. Even if you are surrounded by positive people and energy, you may find you are still struggling to experience joy for extended periods of time.

You might believe it’s because someone is directing negative energy towards you, and while that could be true at times, you have received this card to put your worries at ease.

All seasons in your life have a purpose and immense opportunities for healing and growth. You carry those lessons with you but you must give yourself permission to let go of the rest, which could mean old traumas, mistakes or experiences that were the catalyst for your growth.

Now is the time to allow yourself to experience a rebirth, letting the old burn away and raising vibrations.

Season of the Witch - Ostara - Oracle by Lorriane Anderson and Juliet Diaz

In order to evolve, change is necessary.

In order to change, we must bring in the new.

And in order for the new to come in, the old needs to leave.

Can you use this opportunity to truly engage with what you so eagerly seek to achieve, but not necessarily commit to all that is required in order to truly see the change happen?

Don’t fall into the trap of comparing yourself to other people’s lives. Use it as a tool to understand what works best for you, comparing the differences between what it looks like when you operate under your light and your shadow.

Allow growth to come through experience. Notice the moment you’re currently in and what you need to help you better move through it.

When you use the exercises to reflect, they will give you concrete references to work with.

We’re on this path together. I’m right here with you.

Our vibes speak louder than our words.

Be well.

Love, Livia

Hi there! My name is Livia Almeida.

I’m a book and tea lover. Also a Psychologist, Hypnotist and Coach, but I like to identify myself as a Soul Healing Facilitator.

I’m a curious explorer, navigating the subterranean world of the human psyche, looking for the gates that will lead to inner clarity and freedom from mindsets, behaviours and emotions that limit our creative being.

I want to help people understand the whys, whats and hows about life - but in an individual and personal way. When it comes to our evolution path as humans, we need to embrace our uniqueness and how we experience life individually.

My goal is to help people be more free from what is making them small, restricted, limited, sick and deregulated.
