Self-realization

Image
Realize what? What you realize as you live your days is entirely up to you. You could realize from the belief that life is suffering—that life is unfair--- that life is punishing, and that would be what you realize—what is real for you. But, even a tiny crack or shift in your awareness upgrades your vision, therefore changing what you realize and where you look.  In fact, a ll of us are here realizing and riding our own wave...and remembering where to look.  By Mayra Porrata | comments: mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC

Your sacred inner landscape

Image
It doesn’t matter how old you are, or how much time or lifetimes you think you wasted conforming and performing. Nothing has been wasted. Everything has served. Everything was there for you and your soul’s growth. But whenever you decide to dwell within your own inner landscape—the sacred realm of personal power and truth, you will find precious clues to the treasures and adventures God placed there for you.   You don’t have to believe me. You only have to believe in you.   By Mayra Porrata | comments: mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC

Pride in you

Image
When children are respected and supported by parents, this doesn’t inoculate them from life challenges or hardships, but it generally guarantees they grow up without shame—being proud of who they are. Shame is a punishing mental program that tells the thinker: “there is something wrong with you”. That’s the opposite of pride—of respecting and embracing who one is. Even if we ourselves don’t fully understand every complexity or paradox within us, embracing ourselves helps moderate our fears about being different or unlovable. In fact, the recognition of one’s diversity -- the ways you are unique and the deeper appreciation of identity (your own) is critical to your development as a human being and as a soul. June is Pride month-- a celebration of identify and human joy. Whether you like Pride month, or LQBTQ people, or parades or not is not the point. This is an opportunity for you/me/we to turn the lens inward and honor and celebrate the living spirit within each and all of us....

Your passion and purpose

Image
All of us are living in and through a powerful time in human history—a time of both evolutionary and revolutionary change. While it's certainly unsettling, please know there’s a deeper invitation hidden beneath and within these clouds. At present time, there are millions of individuals who have gone through several wash and spin cycles on the washing machine of life. They are in every country and community in the world. They are the ones who have stepped off or were kicked off the conveyer belt of conventional success and performance and had no other rational choice but to follow their inner wisdom and voice.  If this happens to you, please know you're not alone or that you somehow 'failed'. On the road of life we are all students and teachers helping each other to follow the inner-calling and knowing of our hearts.   By Mayra Porrata comments:  mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC

Natally-speaking

Image
You and me are influenced by everything inside and around us. Everything. The weather, people, and the cosmos all impact us in big and small ways.  If you’re aware of how the moon or Mars, or Venus, or Mercury influence  your energy and moods and what houses in your natal chart are most activated and when, this can help you decipher your own human riddle and life purpose, not to mention better understand your soul’s sacred journey and path.

Actual (not factual) intelligence

Image
My dad was a book person. He and we had books all over our home-- including a full set of encyclopedias.  For me, looking up stuff was a hobby and repeating facts a strange form of spoken art (lol). It took me a super long time to realize that facts and data are snapshots of yesterday-- artifacts of the past. They are useful. They matter. But they are not the whole picture of anything-- ever.   What's actual intelligence? Life. You. Your loved ones. Your children. Your pets. Nature. Our planet. How you connect to all the living things that matter to you. Sharing what you love.   The answers and wisdom are all in you-- in each of us.

Self-understanding

Image
Your level of self-awareness (consciousness) and self-understanding determines how much you see and understand about yourself and the world around you. Knowing where we're coming from is essential for helping us understand that when someone is arguing a side with only two options, they are operating from an ego-centric, conventional, or exclusionary world view. And that is a stage of human development, but there are more.  By Mayra Porrata comments:  mayra@solarapublishing.com ©2026 Solara Publishing, LLC
