In October, I returned home to Tokyo for the Autumn.

For the past month and a half, my life has felt full and boundless, spent in my favourite place among both old and new friends. Being back in Japan has been a beautiful reminder of what it means to be exactly where you're meant to be. There is such deep resonance that happens when we find ourselves in places that feel like home — not just in the geographical sense, but in that deep, soul-level knowing that this is where we belong.

Tokyo has always been that place for me. There's something inexplicable in the way I come alive here. Those who know me well will know how I completely thrive when I’m here; with each return, I am reminded of how being in the right place (inner and outer) can alter our experience of life and of ourselves. When we are in places that align with our energy and truest desires, everything flows naturally and feels full of possibility.

Right place, right time

The right environment often leads us to the right connections and vice versa — of course the two aren’t mutually exclusive, but they are often symbiotic. It’s that feeling of right place + right people = alignment. You can switch the equation around too, where alignment isn’t the end result, but the condition that leads us to finding the right places, the right people.

When listened to, intuition can be our most powerful guide in creating a life that truly resonates with who we are.

Our intuition serves as an inner compass, guiding us toward alignment and the spaces and communities that help us thrive as our authentic selves. When we're in this flow state, we notice synchronicities that feel like little confirmations that we’re on the right path: opportunities seem to appear in every conversation, and each time we listen to our gut and feel things materialise from following it, we create a cycle of validation and trust in listening to that inner voice. Our intuitive abilities grow stronger, and what we see manifesting from it grows more vivid.

I’m leaving Japan this week, but with the renewal that being here always brings. Being here expands my world in ways I can't quite put into words — it is a homecoming of the deepest sense.

A gentle reminder: your intuition might just be leading you exactly where you need to be.
