Marta Salcedo

Un amor tranquilo, seguro, estable. Un amor pleno, honesto, enriquecedor. Un amor que nos trae de vuelta al amor propio. Un amor que nos ayuda a recordar quien y que somos. Un amor que nos sostiene y nos eleva. Un amor maduro y a la vez lleno de juventud. Un amor que inspira creación, con el canto, con la escritura, con el baile. Un amor que nos recuerda que cada momento es perfecto. Un amor que nos invita a la apertura, la conexión, la unión. Un amor libre. Un amor que sana. Un amor que conforta. Un amor que ilumina y empodera todo mi ser. Un amor que libera.

Doy gracias a todas las formas de amor con las que he aprendido, crecido y sanado hasta ahora. Doy gracias a todo y todos los que me han guiado durante mi camino. Doy gracias por este momento presente en el que me permito amar y ser amada sin condiciones, sin ataduras, sin límites.

Mi rezo es que este amor llegue a tu corazón hoy. Un amor propio y colectivo sin límites ni ataduras, en libertad y expansión.

Hecho está 🪶💫

La liberación femenina…

At the end of last year I was traveling around Mexico with my partner at the time and stayed at a beautiful cabin in the woods. We had such an incredible time surrounded by nature, completely off the grid.

We were just talking outdoors, soaking up the sun and I was walking away from him when I heard her say “Su manera de andar y hablar, puedes sentir que (ella) está en su liberación femenina” “You can tell by the way she walks and talks, she is in her feminine liberation”

I kept walking away from them and smiled. I felt this surge of energy pulse through my spine. My heart opened and softened even more as I felt seen and felt by her. She was the woman in charge of the cabins and I had already exchanged a couple of meaningful conversations with her. She is the embodiment of The Sage archetype.

The truth is I couldn’t agree more with her words. Over the last three years, learning more about Ta**ra, deepening my connection with spirit and traveling solo around the world has allowed me to FEEL a lot more, reach deeper levels of unconditional LOVE and BE more of my self unapologetically.

In my experience, the liberation of the feminine, has consisted in trusting more my intuition, saying no more often, setting more boundaries with work, focusing less on how much I was producing and focusing more on how I was feeling about the work I was doing, discovering self pleasure and reclaiming my sexual pleasure, allowing more flow around my days, slowing down my morning rituals, taking days off when I bleed and learning about the magic of the womb, falling in love with my body and her every changing form…

Empowered, chaotic, messy, gentle, soft, strong, clear, indecisive, emotional, compassionate, forgiving…

In 2019 I hired my first mindset coach.

At the time I was already working as a wellness coach. Coaching clients one to one and group classes around London. I had read many books on self development, listened to all the podcasts and consumed as much free content on YouTube as possible.

However, I knew deep down that hiring a mindset coach and investing my time, energy and money (which was scary af at the time) would accelerate the process on getting where I wanted to be in my personal and professional career. In 3 months the changes within me undoubtedly changed the direction of my life. It took me a few months after the program to fully integrate them into my life and then I hired her again to step into a greater place of alignment with my work and my values.

I continued working with different coaches, took part on multiple masterminds and attended many retreats around the world. Being exposed to such different environments and networks invited me out of my comfort zone again and again. Sometimes it was triggering and uncomfortable, other times it was soft and gentle. From female coaches that taught me how to lead in a more feminine way and find greater harmony to male coaches that invited me to dream bigger and find more direction, clarity and focus.

This is why at the beginning of 2021 I launched what at the time felt the most harmonious way to do the inner work in community. A group coaching programme where we gathered online every week to do the inner work and find greater harmony between mind, body and spirit.

I am very excited and honoured to announce the first guest coach for the next round of The Empowered Woman Group Coaching Programme. The woman that supported one of the biggest inner shifts in me so that I could live in greater alignment and take radical action.

Wendy’s teachings and ways of working are life changing and I can’t wait to share her magic with my community.

We start at the end of September, if you feel the call to join us for 3 months and be supported, guided and mentored in a powerful and safe community,

El futuro tiene un corazón anciano.

Como colectivo de humanidad y parte de este planeta, podemos aprender tanto de aquellos ancestros que cultivaban y cuidaban la relación con la naturaleza y todo aquello que nos rodea.

Esta semana hemos tenido la oportunidad de reunirnos en ceremonia con defensor de la selva y líder Sapara. Estar en su presencia es estar en la presencia de amor incondicional. Su devoción por la protección de la selva Amazónica, el poder que lleva como líder y profesor espiritual y su generosidad son mucho más que inspiradoras. Con sus palabras y sus intenciones planta semillas de conciencia y amor a todos aquellos que están a su alrededor.

Gracias por compartir este momento tan especial conmigo, con Alejandro, con Abbey, con Morris y todos los asistentes. Gracias Alejandro por ser una pieza tan grande en la realización de esta ceremonia .love Gracias Abbey por tu ternura, generosidad, amor y por abrirnos las puertas a tu templo en Barcelona Gracias Morris por tu arte con la música, tu vitalidad, tu humor y tu amor

The future has an ancient heart.

🤍🌿✨

Vuelvo a las tierras que me vieron crecer de niña a mujer. Vuelvo con una apertura como nunca antes y una devoción a la magia, a lo divino y al poder que todos llevamos dentro.

Cada parte de mi ser brilla en gratitud por todo lo vivido, todo lo amado y todo lo experimentado desde que empecé a volar sola por tierras Africanas y tierras Meso Americanas.

Vuelvo y siento como si nunca me hubiese ido y a la vez con una nueva presencia y conciencia de quien soy.

Gracias Londres por todo lo que me has dado y por recibirme con tanta apertura ❤️

…..

I return to the lands that witness me grow from girl to woman. I return with an openness that I have never experienced before in these lands. I am back with a devotion to the magic, the divine and a deeper innerstanding of the power we all have within.

Every part of me radiates in deep gratitude for every experience lived and everything and everyone that I have ever loved. Deep gratitude for everything that I have learned and unlearned over the last two years and a half flying solo over African lands and Meso American lands.

I am back and I feel as I never left. I am back, deeply present and with a greater awareness of who I am and who I am not.

Thank you London for everything you have given me and for welcoming back ❤️

The shadow of forcing…

To force something that it isn’t meant to fit in. To rush something that isn’t meant to flow just yet. To push something that is so desperately asking for stillness.

As I return back to Europe, this shadow aspect, the feeling of forcing has been very present over the last few days. An invitation to prepare better, to set boundaries, to get radically honest with self and allow more ease, more grace, more flow into my everyday.

Sometimes we might think we know better than life. Sometimes we might think we know better than the divine order in which everything is happening at the speed of our individual growth.

Our time hasn’t come quite yet if we are forcing and subscribing to the stress. We have normalise and in some cases even glorified the stress our body shows as we push and rush. Yet that same stress we feel is the way our body communicates with us to stop, to stop ignoring our inner knowing.

Our inner wisdom is asking to slow down, to prepare better, to set boundaries, to contemplate before taking action.

The shadow of force won’t listen to your intuition. Until you finally surrender and choose to flow, choose to let go of the grip and finally decide to connect with your body sensations.

Where are you forcing in your life?

Where can you allow yourself to flow a little bit more if you completely trust?

The mistaken identity that we have created of ourselves is the root of our problems. The attachments, the expectations, the conditions that we set on ourselves and others is what deprives us from experiencing freedom in the now.

It is in the moment in which we have complete surrender and detachment that we can experience radical acceptance of what it is.

It is through the active practice of detachment, forgiveness and acceptance when we can get a glimpse of unconditional love for ourselves as we are, where we are and for others as they are, where they are.

The ego loves to attach meaning to everything and everyone, it loves to identify as an identity and it subscribes to the illusion of control and power over external factors and people. Yet it is in the moments of stillness, solitude and silence that we remembre we were never limited to our ego and identity as this one is ever changing, dying, evolving and transforming.

We remain infinite, whole, powerful and capable of loving deeper, forgiving easier and moving through life accepting, forgiving, letting go, welcoming in and being more.

Words from today, 18th May 2022.

🙏🏼✨

Sweet child,

Forgive yourself. Forgive the past versions of yourself who weren’t kind to self and others. Forgive yourself for the decisions you made in the past which hurt others, soften your heart and remember you were doing the best you could at that very moment.
Forgive the past versions of yourself that didn’t show up the most loving, responsible and grounded possible. It is now part of the past, right now, right here, soften your heart to yourself once again. Show yourself some grace for this fleeting moment.

Let go of that which supported you getting here but is no longer supporting you moving forward.

With grace, with love, let it go and create space for the new energy which will help you expand and move forward.

Sweet child, remember this fleeting moment with all its textures and colours is all we have.

So breath, breath deep into your belly, softening your shoulders, your jaw, all the tiny muscles on your face and bring back a warm light onto your heart. Close your eyes, forgive the past, be here in the tenderness of this breath right now.

I love you.

Do you ever look back at your relationships and realise you attracted such dynamics because a lack of empowerment, a lack of boundaries and people pleasing habits that kept you out of alignment with what you deserved and desired?

✋🏼 I have definitely been there…

…in a relationship, deeply innerstanding that I was jeopardising what I truly desired. Unconsciously feeding the idea that I didn’t deserve more than that and consciously staying in the relationship out of fear of being alone and stepping into the unknown once again.

Eventually it only led me to a place where I felt so small, so disempowered and out of alignment with my own values and what I knew to be true that I didn’t even see how and when I would feel like myself again.

It took a ridiculous amount of courage to finally choose me. My vision, my heart, my potential to grow and expand beyond any boxes and labels, finally once again.

✨

Choosing a partner is one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life.

Consciously and unconsciously they will shape your present and your future, they will either help you expand more into your light or contract you into a smaller version of yourself.

Choose you. Listen deeply within. Take time to be still, alone, with loved ones who can help you remember of your power, come back to your journaling practice, visualise your highest most radiant self standing in power again.

Trust the lack of ease within.
Trust your intuition.
Choose yourself.
Again and again 🤍

I still get emotional when I talk about what I went through last year.

Today on a call with I told her the rebirths I went through last year in order to keep going, to keep surviving. I felt this wave of emotions in my body just thinking about the version of myself who felt so lost, broken, unloved.

Some of you might not know but last year I traveled for the first time to Mexico to meet the man who seemed to be everything I ever wanted and wished for.

Fast forward 3 months of traveling together, sitting in ceremony and living many unforgettable experiences together we decided to part ways.

The first 3 months of the relationship weren’t easy. I can only speak from my own experience and it was extremely hard to adapt to a new country, new culture, new relationship, so far away from home and with such different time zone that I didn’t feel I could be supported by my friends from Europe the way I needed at the time.

After breaking up I started traveling solo, first a trip to the Amazon to sit with Ayahuasca for the first time, then after a month in Ecuador, I flew to Miami, looking for a “home”, completely out of place, heartbroken and lonely I took a one way ticket to San Diego, searching for somewhere to ground, a home away from home. I flew back to Mexico, broken with glimpses of happiness yet so lost.

It took me months of deep healing, waking up in bed crying, missing my family, my friends, my habits back home, that which made me feel safe.

3 months after living in Mexico and many ice baths, gym sessions, cacao ceremonies, womens circles, ecstatic dances, moon rituals later I started feeling home again.

Home within my body, safe in my body, confident in my ability to rise again like a Phoenix.

I went all the way in, in love and in pain.

All the one way tickets, decisiveness to keep choosing me and putting one foot in front of the other taught me invaluable lessons.

Lessons you can’t learn from a book, only through experience.

Trusting that every step, every chapter, every person is the one, the one to help me grow into the most powerful version of myself.
