Summary: <h1><strong>Being Solar Powered needs the Queensland Warmth<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-491" src="https://www.empoweredchange.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Queensland-Image-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200"></strong></h1> <p>Soleil thank you for being a guest on the Heart of Connection podcast. It’s lovely to reconnect and have a conversation with you and your wonderful practice <a href="https://empowered2happiness.com/">Empowered2Happiness</a>.</p> <p><em>How’s life in Queensland?</em></p> <p>Life in Queensland is awesome. I love it up here. I just love I just love the weather and the weather makes me happy. I just love the fact that I’m two blocks from the beach and I can walk along the water with my feet in the sand or in the water. Watch the pelicans go past. And yeah just I get the sun I’m solar powered so the sun just makes you happy.</p> <p><em>How long have you been up there now?</em></p> <p>[00:00:51] Well, I’ve been making pilgrimages back to Queensland.

So there’s a bit of a connection there definitely.</p> <h1><strong>Sun &amp; Nature Are Integral to My Self-Care</strong></h1> <p><em> </em><em>[00:02:05] </em><em>How does it work on your connection to yourself.  How do you experience the warmth?  What does it do to your connection and self-care? </em></p> <p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-492" src="https://www.empoweredchange.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/pelicians-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200">[00:02:18] I think for me you know it is the sun but it’s also nature. So if I need to connect with myself I am most connected if I down the beach and by the ocean. So going down and just walking in the water like I said or walking in the sand sometimes I just sit on a rock and meditate and just listen to the water or do som</p>
