In this solo episode of Moving To Oneness, Meilin speaks from the powerful island of Corsica, where wind, water, stone, sun, birds, and ancient songs become living teachers. Standing near Bonifacio, with Sardinia in the distance, she invites you to listen with her to the wisdom of the island — its limestone rocks, clear salt water, olive and pine trees, resilient people, and the sound of Corsican songs carrying history, strength, and tenderness.
Together you explore how the ocean can embrace and remember us, how the wind can teach us to play and stay flexible, how the sun warms and awakens our skin, and how stone shows us both strength and softness. This episode is an invitation to connect with water, speak with the elements, set clear intentions, and feel how energy moves through your body from Earth to sky and sky to Earth.
Corsica reminds us to stand like the rocks in the sea: shaped by time, touched by wind and water, yet still present in our beauty. May this episode support you in saying yes to yourself again, remembering your own ancient strength, and allowing your light, love, ideas, and presence to move into the world.
Moving to oneness. Nourishing curiosity. Embracing differences. Becoming one.

Just a gentle breath, low enough so you can hear the birds sing. And I'm on a spot on an island where normally there's wind with 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 knots as it just was last week. You can see the landscape, how the trees are triangular, because from the west the wind comes.
Hello everyone. I am Meilin Ehlke, the host of the Moving to Oneness podcast. I'm on this magnificent island of Corsica, of Corse, and I'm just in awe how powerful it is, what strength and at the same time gentleness it has. You all know I have a husband who follows the wind and then that's typical for shaman to follow, right? We work with the wind in the material and in the non material.
00:01:44 - Meilin Ehlke
And we had some windy days. So can he use his sails or foils and play with the wind on the water and the waves? For I then, and my son, we make ourselves flat, thin, so we don't feel as much of the wind or that sand that's blown against our skin. But it is a conversation between the sand.
The sand here is from these limestone rocks, ancient. This island has resistance in it. I spoke to a friend recently, or left her a message and said, these rocks are here, these boulders, even in the water, they stay independent of what happens in their beauty, in their presence, in their shininess. Some have granite in them, so it's a little hard when you walk barefoot over them, but it's doable. But they're also warm and they send out this softness, the color beige, sandy beige. Then you have the olive green of the olive trees, the pine green of the Italian or Mediterranean pines. You know that with the grayish limbs and stems and juxtaposed by this blue. And the water is so clear.
00:03:12 - Meilin Ehlke
So then you also have that three dimensionality going even deeper. So it is an island that invites you to go deep within. As you, in German, the word comes a verweilen (linger), as you hang out here and just soak in the loving energy of the rock. That is really loving. It's enveloping, it's embracing. You can see it in the people, whoever comes here. Quiet, content, peaceful. Not that this island hasn't been peaceful, it has been fighting for it's rights? I don't know. Over 7,000 years people are trying, or maybe even longer. But for 7,000 years they do know. The ancient Greeks, the Etruscans, the Romans, the French, the Italians, vandalists, the Spanish, I don't know. It goes up and down. Maybe before then others.
And the coarse people from Corsica, they got the power within them. They fight for their land. They still want back their independence, and they show it. And I love that you can hear it in their songs. I was lucky to listen to some of their songs live. Even I was watching one day someone on the boat, younger generation, they were singing these songs while they were parking the boat, unloading it, right? It is a driving force song and sound.
00:04:54 - Meilin Ehlke
And you know that we speak a lot about sound on this podcast. It expresses what is deep within you. It communicates with everything that is surrounding you. And as I am speaking here, I'm standing here, I can look from this spot, close to Bonifacio, or Bonifacio, depending how you pronounce it, Language you want to speak. But here, Italians speak Italian and the French answer in French the other way around. I love that.
00:05:27 - Meilin Ehlke
I hope one day our world will be like this, that we can be who we are and we are being understood through our mimics, our facial expressions, our body language, and that we embrace everyone. And I can look, as I said, over to Sardinia. It's a little difficult to swim there because there is the water that runs through. That strait is strong. So. And Corsica, when we were landing here on Tuesday, it was last week, it was rather cool. There was snow on the mountains.
They really got high mountains here, so they got their own water. They really honed in on their craft and their artisan way of feeding themselves, right? So the wild boar they eat, they have the cheeses with sheep, and they have a special sheep. Oh, with m. I can't remember what it's called in English. Has horns on it and it's a little bigger. (Mouflon a wild sheep)They have their fruits, they have their fish, and they keep their old buildings alive. So even those old buildings or monuments, they built as cities to defend themselves. So you can feel also defense.
00:06:56 - Meilin Ehlke
But still they kept their heart, this softness, this gentleness. So what is it doing for me when I sit here, when I stand here, when I swim? Here are the ocean, right? It always communicates it's salt water goes deep within you, into all layers and opens you up. So whenever you are close to the ocean, dive in, even with your hand, underwater if you can. Even if you're not a good swimmer, you lie somewhere where it's not so deep, but that you can just sink down to the ground and let your head be covered.
So you're really also submerged by the water and see what happens. There's also this enveloping embrace. And then you're like a mother, right? She moves you a little bit. When you're a tiny baby, so you get comfortable and calm. That's what the water does with you. And it helps you remind, or always helps me remind what I am. And first of all, we are so much water, so many percentiles, right? And also salt water, Right? We need that once in a while.
00:08:15 - Meilin Ehlke
But what is it telling us? Also for the future, to really go with the flow, right? We are the Earth, the planet of water. So are we in a good connection with the water? Let's speak today, maybe about the ocean. What do we put in? Here in the Mediterranean? When I was younger, everything was piped into the water for, I don't know, thousands of years. And even when you were on those high rocks with your village, we dumped everything into the water and the machinery.
00:08:50 - Meilin Ehlke
Luckily, many youngsters are creating ships that can go with solar or sail again, and wind, even the big freight ships. So there's coming a new development. But how do you relate? How do you relate to the ocean? To the Mediterranean Sea, to the Atlantic, to the Pacific, the Indian Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of India? Oh, there are so many. The Northern Sea. Yeah. Do you talk with it? And even you're not close to water, are you able to speak with the water? Maybe you got sea salt at home. So when you use it next time, communicate with it. Ask it to support you in your healing, in your visions, in becoming what you are, why you have come here.
Even more. Water remembers, right? Water came down also on this island, isn't in Kauai, Hawaii island, where the most water comes down? And the Dalai Lama goes there twice a year to welcome it. And then it spreads everywhere. So it has history, memory. It has seen so much. Some of it evaporates, has seen you from above. Maybe you have drunk or drank it somewhere. And then it's back into the ocean.
And the sun. I'm really lucky. Since we're here, the sun is shining.
00:10:27 - Meilin Ehlke
It makes everything glitter. And because it has this wind. If it's stronger wind. Yeah. And you have the waves and the wind creates all those white caps. Not so much the waves here. And it sparkles. There's a sparkling crystalline spark. Sparkling. And I think it's even more than years before. I've not been here. I've been in Sardinia or I've been in other places at the Mediterranean. The sparkle is new. So the sun. Are you in the sun on a regular basis, letting your skin communicate with the sun? Or you communicate with her or him, whatever, how you want to call it.
00:11:14 - Meilin Ehlke
And Let it warm you. Or the wind when you feel the wind, the light breeze that we have now, but also the strong winds tomorrow are coming back. So we stayed a longer one day here in the south to take advantage of the wind that's coming more tomorrow afternoon.
Playing with you, do you see the wind? Like something to play with or the sun, something to play within? So isn't this what we're all moving forward to? Or wanting to move forward, or set out right? The freedom is to act in the moment. That's playing.
00:11:55 - Meilin Ehlke
Removing all you carry around and feeling free enough to move all your body, all the cells in your mind, the energy through your body, right down from the ground. Like when you are on the rocks here on the warm sand, up the legs, diagonal to your shoulder. And you can feel right away how your shoulder drops. You can do it also the other way around. And you feel like your leg, you know, from the shoulder, from the source in the universe, from the stars, the sun bring energy diagonal down to your. Let's say you start on the left of shoulder to your right leg. And you feel how you're standing lighter on the earth. That means then in that moment you can move with more flexibility. Lightness, Double lightness, yes, because in that moment you are also more light. Especially if you connect to the stars, the sun or the sun, suns and of all the suns.
Talking about this son, S o n mine loves golf. And they have a beautiful golf course here where you have to trust totally yourself to hit the ball and hope or know or intend.
Set an intention. That's really good practice. To set intention. Where do you want a ball to land? How to move your body, that the ball flies this way or that far to land on the other side of the water, of the bay? So are you practicing you setting intention and seeing where it lands, what it creates, what you have manifested is being materialized. This is something I invite you to do as well. Or maybe this is really the Island Corsica, inviting to you to say yes to yourself again.
00:13:59 - Meilin Ehlke
Like these rocks in the sea. They're beautiful, round, but you have them here in the slopes and you can see them in the mountains, rounded off, even though have this hardness and softness with them, right? They got the quartz and then the sandstone, compressed sand, whatever you want to call it, has been here for a long time and it's still standing. So you have been here for a long time. You've come here to this earth, you as a being, this energy.
00:14:33 - Meilin Ehlke
You have history. And are you acting and embodying this history within you? Right in this moment, see how you feel, how do you stand, how do you look out into the world? Yeah. How do you move through the world? And how are you standing? Or what stance do you have when the wind arrives, problems arise? And problems you can solve.
00:15:09 - Meilin Ehlke
You're really good at that. You may bend a little bit backwards or forwards or sidewards, but you don't let yourself be pushed over anymore because you know who you are, you know what you're here to bring. And you know you're here so others can synchronize with you, take on the energy that you gifted them, the light, the ideas, the pureness, the thoughts, the healing, the entertainment, the relationship, the embrace, the warmth, the love, the light, the smile, the gaze. All of this.
And another thing here, the plants, right, they got these thicker leaves so they don't evaporate so fast. They have brightness and a glow to them, a shininess, right? And this array of greens and forms. And how are you reacting to all others who are on their way, on their path to becoming who they are?
And I know when you're listening to this, you're one who has the patience, the love, the calmness, the foresight. You can see the future, you can read energies and tell them it's okay. What you're going through is just bringing out your beauty, what is within you. Yes, this all is telling us this beautiful island of Corsica.
00:16:58 - Meilin Ehlke
So I wish you a wonderful evening, day and take in Maybe look on YouTube for a song from Corsica and see what old sounds and songs of the water, the pirates, the seamen, the farmers, the mountaineers live and provide to you.
Bye. Bye. I'm Meilin, your host of the Moving to Oneness podcast. All the best.
