Tulavati - Place for the Heart

In life, each of us walks a different path, with different experiences, meeting different people who resonate with us – or, sometimes, not at all. My own journey has taught me how important it is to listen to different opinions without rejecting or judging them in advance. To listen, yet form my own perspective. To allow myself to be inspired, but to seek my own authentic way. Tulavati is my way. I’ll be glad if you join me, whether for a short while or a longer stretch of the road.

Tulavati is, for me, the fulfillment of an inner longing to share what fascinates me, excites me, and sparks my curiosity – whether it’s harmonious themes that resonate, or controversial ones that stir doubt.

The story of Tulavati actually began a few months earlier. For quite some time, I felt a calling to help the white lions. I was searching for a way to meaningfully and sustainably support this essential and unique project for nature and the planet – while also handling everyday life and bills. How to connect it all?

When one’s heart truly longs for something, the path eventually opens. Under the guidance of the white lions and Linda, I have been studying the 13 Laws of the Universe. At the end of the sixth – the Law of Regeneration – it happened: a clear message and vision of the way forward. And from that moment, one cogwheel began to fit into another, and everything started to fall into place. Step by step, piece by piece.

Of course, an important part of the journey was the name itself. Have you noticed how often people underestimate names? They want them to be funny, attractive, interesting, unique… but in doing so, they sometimes give their beloved being or project a life path that is not always easy (but more on that another time). Names carry immense importance. They hold a vibration that can support a person, an animal, or a project – or, on the contrary, make the journey more difficult. That’s why I paid such careful attention to choosing the right name. For a long time, I searched for the word that felt true. And then one morning – as it so often happens, in the shower, when the mind is relaxed and attuned to the flow – it came. Tulavati.

“Tula” in an original African tribal language means silence or peace. “Vati” refers to the place where star beings descended to Earth to guide humans back to themselves – to their own hearts. In that moment, I knew this was it: a space for the inner, divine silence of the heart, from which everything is born.

I admit, Tulavati is for me a step into the unknown. A departure from my comfort zone and the beginning of something new – without knowing exactly where it will lead (if only we could be sure, right???). Each moment, even now as I write these lines, I learn to pause consciously and ask myself: Is this really what I want to say? . . . And what is it I truly want to express? . . . And what do I genuinely want, from the depths of my heart? . . . Is this just a fleeting excitement, or is it a true path? So many questions – and no, the answers don’t come easily or all at once. Time and again, I discover that they appear only after I take the step, as I move in the intended direction, in daily work, step by step… a journey into the unknown, a journey through the looking glass.

I would say my greatest challenge is maintaining balance. Yes, at the beginning there is always the desire to help and the joy of doing what I love. That feeling of excitement when you look forward to waking up and diving into work that has meaning. And yet… you know how it goes. Suddenly, you don’t know how to continue, or which way to turn. That’s when discipline steps in. Ah yes, discipline… whole books could be written about it. As I said, balance is my greatest challenge. With discipline, passion for the work sometimes diminishes, while obligations and commitments increase. And before you know it, the lightness of being is replaced by the unbearable heaviness of life – endless to-do lists and full-blown workaholism. Do you think, “Welcome to the club?” Not anymore. I let myself be guided by the lions, the rhinos, the animals, by nature itself, and I learn to hold my original direction. To overcome fears that creep into thoughts, to give myself time, not to be afraid to change decisions, to move beyond old patterns and create new ones. In every moment, I choose the steps that allow me to keep joy and lightness in everything I do. And it works! Sometimes with the snap of a finger, sometimes with my tongue hanging out – but isn’t that what makes life colorful? Every day confirms for me that this is the way forward. And it is only up to me whether I decide to enjoy it with a smile on my face, or add another wrinkle to my forehead.

I am learning to remain true to myself, to help, and at the same time not lose the lightness of being. I’ll be glad if you join me – even just for a moment – because every shared step, every inspiration, matters.
