it is my privilege, not my purpose, to share this truth with you. remember your divinity, find inner peace.

April 2020

I manage to take one of the last planes from Dubai to Barcelona before the world went havoc and airports started closing.

I was to deliver a “The Language of a Happy Life” workshop at a renown hotel in the capital of Cataluña when government members announced that no public gatherings were allowed.

Fear started slowly slowly taking over the population...crawling inadvertently without asking for permission…

My due on-ward flight to Mexico some days later thankfully went on as planned, and I arrived to Villas Xichu, celebrating life, my LIFE sanctuary in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, surprising my staff quite intensely.

I could sense just how confused everybody was. This was quite understandable, realizing just how fragile businesses were since governments all over the world, including the municipality in our small town, were issuing orders for public gatherings not to take place, closing most of the economy in town as hotels, restaurants and almost all businesses started to shake dangerously.

My staff was deeply perturbed as they saw how many of their friends were losing their jobs. All of a sudden, tourism sunk to zero. The weddings that we had planned to celebrate in our premises were all being cancelled, hence income was all of a sudden completely SHUT. My staff is the blood that runs in the veins of Villas Xichu, so, for sure, they would be allowed to continue to work no matter what! However the in-certitude regarding public transportation, possibility to walk in the streets freely, and the commotion caused by the media was taking its toll on all of us.

Some days later, it was announced that one of my favorite hotels had decided to send all the staff home with no salary, making the workers not be able to feed their children.

NO!!!

I was so upset that I felt the urge to scream and cry. I called Laura, my right-hand assistant; to her stupor, I leaned on her shoulder and cried angrily, very angrily imagining all those healthy people that would be left without any food nor dignity to support their families and forced to stay confined in their homes…

My heart was pounding very fast, as if wanting to leave my body, running away, telling me: “Gloria!, please be careful. You are abusing me. Shift your thoughts to a different direction and let me breathe properly!”

All of a sudden, listening to the stern ‘words’ of my heart, the happiness ambassador in me took over; I flipped the thoughts that were making me so upset into words that could make me feel expanded:

“...a world that is fed, serene, dignified and very hugged. “

This statement felt good. It made me have room for a creative action that would keep my thoughts joyfully intact, and this gave way to the birthing of The Orgasmic Orchard (hence allowing us to be fed), to ceremonies and activities geared to bring people back to serenity (Herbalism, mayan cosmo-vision, yoga, qigong, meditation, Nature observation, etc.), the creation of salaries and/or distribution of food, enabling others to distribute what they received (dignified) and hugging each other and our friends and family in intense gratitude and joy.

“Yes, this vision makes me feel good. I will stay feeling this thought, and I will go straight into that direction while affirming: ‘if you scream at me, I will hug you!’ to anyone who chooses to criticize or nag at this sudden global slap to our consciousness,” I thought. In fact, I could feel that people that would come to me with their nagging and criticism would actually love it when I would direct them rather into appreciating and listening to Nature’s wisdom.

My staff and I started going daily to our onsite temple, to pay tribute to our ancestors, to do aerobic exercises and carry out the Wim Hoff breathing technique in order to help our immune system do what it already so perfectly knows: keep us in balance, healthy and at peace.

As well, we had daily sessions studying one of my favorite books: Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. This helped us immensely to stay in the expansive creative side while the collective consciousness, aided by the negative media, was acting as a thick loud of uncertainty.

Sooner than later, to our relief, Peace came back to Villas Xichu, Celebrating Life, as our hearts melted more and more into one solid team. My staff and I became even more united, enjoying the joy of learning new things, doing new activities…

We all know all over the world what it felt to be ordered to be confined in the walls of our own homes, expected to cover our mouth as if not to be able to speak or to hug our moms or kiss our children. All of a sudden we were all caged voluntarily as we saw our businesses collapse, more rapidly than slowly.

SURPRISE

What joy it was to see so many people get together to feed others. How many of us gathered in order to understand more about the importance of herbs to cure us, to feed us, to nurture our emotional lives as well.

I started learning about Mayan cosmo-vision as well, getting in touch with other like-minded people, extremely connected to Source. As a result now our 2,000 Square meter Orgasmic Orchard stands in its full magnitude, making me a peasant…a huge privilege, to work so closely with Mother Nature…

What an honor! I am an earth-worker recognizing new friends and collaborators in the process…weaving in a way that I never thought it would be possible.

However, with the aid of the media, I could feel more and more people that were becoming afraid. Maybe even depressed. The world confusion was taking a huge toll on all of us.

HOW CAN I HELP?

Immersed in my daily sacred celebration of life with my staff and new friends and occupations, I was so eager to share the feeling of intense completeness and calm I was floating in. I wanted to share my experience as well as learn from others, so I started the series Back to Joy, interviewing people worldwide that I had met in my innumerable trips and activities that could share with us their tools as to how they come back to joy in times of challenge.

So here we are, enchanted by the results. And creating more events here on site, like life celebration ceremonies to enhance our capacity to appreciate and provoke our health, wealth and wellbeing.

In an incredible magical weaving with the universe, this magic moment brought me to the creation of this page Back to Joy, with the extensive assistance of my sweet daughter Sarita, as we spend time in national lockdown (all flights in and out are closed) here in Saudi Arabia where I arrived on December 14, 2020, after almost a year of being in Mexico unable to join my family here. And we are loving it!

I am creating this blog with the intention to share stories that might help you come back to Joy.

Please do join us in sharing your comments and your experiences of getting out of contraction into expansion, which is our natural state of being, so that we can, Together, no matter where, celebrate life, no matter what, provoking our health, wealth and well-being.

Yes, this is the path to world peace, and it starts with each one of us.

Are you ready to play?.
