Welcome to this moment, the only one there is. Recently I was thinking about the concept of Metanoia – a change in your way of life thanks to a spiritual conversion. It is this change, this transformation, that we are most interested in at Kintsugi Space, this total change of heart towards a conscious, purposeful life. And as I thought about this a deep insight arose within me: happiness is an inside job. As is love.

At Kintsugi Space, under the careful, trained eyes of some truly inspired people and through serious inner work and cutting-edge technology we are producing some incredible results. We are raising energy levels for ourselves and our members, becoming more sensitive, more aware and grounded. People are reporting that life has become fuller, more colourful, more vibrant.

When starting from a calmer, cleaner, kinder and more grateful place, we can realise the wonder that lives within us all. That we exist, here in this moment is nothing short of miraculous.

Between the inner and outer world lays many sacred mysteries that we can never truly understand, only trust that they are there. So many things to cherish. Here I am, in this moment, finding myself as an essence’s seeker.

Here is what I know: hugging a person with a ‘good frequency’ immediately helps us reduce anxiety. Listening to a grounded voice can make us feel better. We need to notice how we feel when we look deep into someone else’s eyes?

Waking up early to contemplate the sunrise from the sea makes us feel happy. Watching the stars makes us feel more spacious inside, floating on water feels like we are weightless.

The journey has just begun. If we look we can find new inspirations for how to live well, eschewing the prevailing advice that was once so tempting (Do more! Buy more!) but now feels passé. This moment all we need to worry about.

Lord Byron once noted that that there are only four questions of value in life, and the answer to all of those questions is ‘love’. As our Kintsugi founder notes in her very personal column on page 12, love is an intensely powerful force. It has the ability to clear the most challenging of paths, to offer hope, light, peace, forgiveness. To give us a reason for all that we do in life. If we start from a place of love, it is hard to go wrong.

We have dedicated this issue to love – exploring what love means to different people, how we express it to others, how we show it to ourselves and how we feel when it is gone. We explore the many different versions – from family ties and friendship to passion and philanthropy, spiritual connections to a passion for work and finding what you love to do. Wishing you all love, peace and Metanoia our dear readers.
