Open the Diary of an Inner Explorer, a podcast for true seekers, deep thinkers, and powerful souls who feel an inner calling to understand life beyond the surface.
I am Adela Ciurea, Inner Peace Architect and creator of Morpho Menelaus, a metamorphosis program for those ready to step into their truth.
This is not just a podcast—it’s my personal diary. For more than a decade, I’ve been keeping notes on Inner Journeys: my own and those I have the privilege to guide.
My diary is where I put words to the silent questions, the raw truths, and the treasures we uncover when we stop pretending—when we dare to look beyond masks, fear, conditioning, and limiting beliefs.
These notes weave true stories, true feelings, and true thoughts. Unscripted. Raw. Often translated directly from my diary—because my deepest reflections are written in Romanian, the language of my roots.
If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, if you’re searching for meaning beyond the noise, beyond the filters—welcome. Whether you practice meditation, study philosophy, or simply feel drawn to the infinite possibilities of existence, this is your invitation to expand beyond the known.
Join me every Friday for a new note from my Diary. Discover our stories. And maybe… unravel yours.
It began before I knew—an invisible thread pulling me towards the unknown. And yet, I was feeling like it was something that I’ve known forever.
I remember so clearly that day of early summer, in 2014: I was walking in a park with my sister. She was profoundly happy and serene: she was a few weeks pregnant with her first child. The birds were joyful around, as my sister. The light was joyful. The leaves were joyful. Even the air smelled happy!
I was looking at my feet crushing pine needles. I.. was.. not.. joyful. I mean, I was happy to be there, with my sister, profoundly happy for her.
But me…
My work made me feel deep pain and tension. I was partner in a French architecture office, but constantly under psychological pressure from the big boss— I was supposed to work faster and not "waste" the company’s precious time and money thinking about creating beauty. This was so much against my values, to the point that for the past two months, I’ve taken Fridays off as therapy time.
I should have left, but we have just gotten the mortgage for our first apartment that year-I couldn't. My ego and pride also kept me going: I wanted to finish the construction for this beautiful project I had been working on for last 4 years.
Inside, I knew that there is something more to life, to my world. My 7 years of Tai Chi and Qi Gong practice allowed me to perceive the energy in my hands and all around. I could feel that there is something more… but I couldn't see what that was.
Today was the day my sister would also perceive something. As any pregnant woman, she was more open to other kind of information - to this day, I actually think that it was my yet unborn niece that gave me this message. My sister told me for the first time about a course where one can learn to do something like healing with the hands and the energy. She didn’t know more.
But it was enough. “Something with energy and the hands”… These words felt like an energy shower all over my body.. warm and refreshing at the same time… and I felt that thread pulling me for the first time.
It felt like a calling. And I knew I had to go.
Did you ever experience this feeling?
What would you decide to do when feeling this kind of calling?
Seventeen hundreds
It was not easy: the course was in Timisoara, a beautiful city in Romania -1700 km away! It took place over an entire weekend, meaning I needed to take at least two days off: Friday and Monday. But at the time, every Monday was my construction site meeting for my major project. As the head architect, not showing up was not an option.
But you know… when something is meant to be, it will happen. So it happens that the next course was scheduled and when I looked on my calendar I discovered that ... that particular Monday was a public holiday! Fridays I was off anyway, as part of my therapeutic part-time arrangement.
Life was giving me a clear message: I had to go. I bought my plane tickets.
It was only there, being in that course, that the reason for this decision unraveled. The teacher asked each one of us a question: “Why are you here - what do you hope to find in this course?”
My answer was : “Liniște. – Inner Peace. “
I didn’t even know I was searching for it !
How far would you go to find your Inner Peace?
That weekend was my first step in learning about myself as an energy being, as a multi-dimensional being, about having a physical body, but also emotional, mental and spiritual bodies... And what was most important: it helped me remember that I could use the energy to shape my world.
Knowing that I can heal myself and others gave me power ! Confidence.
I wrote this into my journal the day after my return to France: “I am happy… when I feel my hands and their energy. And I’m happy to have this chance of maybe finally find my own path.”
The same week, I handed in my resignation letter, not demanding anything more than my freedom. As soon as possible.
So I set myself free.
With a dear engineer friend, we’ve created our own architecture office and started building with wood and light. And I also gave myself the gift of time.
For more than a year and a half I went to Romania every month to learn more. Sometimes, twice a month. And I was practicing daily what I was learning… I put in an amazing effort, time and.. money… and I did all this with amazing joy - because with every step, I was rediscovering the treasures hidden within myself.
How would you feel unlocking your innate abilities, your talents… your inner treasures?
For me, with time, these inner treasures transformed into Inner Peace.
I came to understand how, ever since my conception, everything that I am in this 3D world (my body, my emotions and my thoughts) – everything was shaped by exterior beliefs and rules. I came to understand how I forgot about my inner light, my confidence… my inner power… and how I came to experience the pain of living disconnected from my truth.
Beyond this pain was actually fear. All sorts of fear: fear of failing, fear of judgement, fear of not being enough… Fear of not being loved. Fear of being myself, without a mask. Fear of being true.
Fears are like filters on our eyes, preventing us from seeing the raw perfect reality.
One day, following a deep pain in my heart chakra, I discovered what I called at the time “my inner aspects”. A few years later I’ve learned that I’m not the only one having them – they are called “inner parts”. At the time, I have already gotten to know them quite well, so I was daring to play and experiment.
I’ve discovered that each Inner Part has its own kind of fear and beliefs – what an incredible experience was for me when I’ve decided to see what is hidden beyond the fears! The most amazing talents revealed for each part.
There is a beautiful quote by the poet Rainer Maria Rilke that says: “Our deepest fears are like dragons, protecting our deepest treasure.”
This is so incredibly true!
I’ve experienced it myself, as well as those I've had the privilege to work with in recent years.
How many dragons do you feel you have?
Which one is the biggest dragon / the biggest fear?
The good news is that the number that popped in your mind right now might show how many amazing gifts you might have. And! If you tame your biggest dragon, you might unlock your magic treasure.
Fun fact: when I wrote “tame your biggest dragon” for an article, the autocorrect wanted to change the word “tame” for “take”. “Take down your biggest dragon” is what we are taught to do. All stories are about “fighting the dragon”, “fighting the fears”, “hiding the fears”…
Well, what I feel and think today is that we shouldn’t fight, hide or suppress them. We should rather understand them. We should rather tame our dragons, because in this way, they can become our incredible allies.
Would you like to have a dragon ally?
You know what else happens when you tame your dragons?
what happens is… Silence. Peace.
Taming my dragons, understanding my fears…. Knowing my inner world, my inner parts, my innate gifts, my potential, my purpose… brought me to what I’ve been searching for: Inner Peace.
Now… let me tell you a secret: in this world, this 3D world… in order to embody who we are, to feel what we are, we need to act.
Yes, we are human Beings, not human doings, nor human havings.
But, to have inner Peace, to feel inner Peace – we need to do, to act in alignment with who we are.
It’s the act of creation.
True Peace manifests in this world as beauty. And beauty creates more peace.
What did it mean to me? The journey to knowing myself, who I am truly, with my qualities and faults, brought me to my own path, to what I feel most aligned to do, in this life.
And when I stepped from knowing my path into walking it – that is into acting, doing, creating – is when I felt true Inner Peace.
This is the magic formula in this 3D world: be – do – have.
Be yourself, walk your path, have Peace.
This translates with:
Be confident – Love – feel Peace.
That to a higher level means:
Be Magic – Create – feel Free.
This is my lesson: Knowing yourself is the way to Creating true inner Peace - to be in Peace without pretending.
Learning it, experiencing it – brought me here.
I’ve remembered my wings.
Today, this is me: Adela Ciurea, creator of Morpho Menelaus metamorphosis program.
For over 25 years, I shaped the world around me as an architect. A decade ago, my focus shifted—from building external spaces to understanding the inner worlds of True Seekers.
My projects have been awarded multiple times for revealing the hidden beauty of places, using local natural resources. Now I use my expertise to reveal the beauty within, setting in motion one's own energy and untapped potential.
As an Inner Architect, I guide those who feel called to weave their own wings—to step beyond masks, beyond fear, beyond limits… and embody their Truth.
The 20th of March, 2025
Today is Friday, the 7th of November 2025, and you’ve just listened to my very first podcast. This is a moment of growth for me, embracing the courage to share the notes of my Diary out loud… and I hope it inspires you to step into your own journey. If I can move past one of my biggest fears – speaking in public and expressing myself – then perhaps you, too, can allow yourself to soften into your own truth.
I took the plane to Romania also on a Friday, the 7th of November, 2014 to hear myself say out loud that what I really needed in this life was “peace”. Exactly 11 years ago. I found out about this yesterday: while reading these notes, I wanted to check on the exact date, as I have realized that I’m going to take another big step, again in November: launching this podcast. Same day – Friday, same date – the 7th of November… This is not a coincidence… Again, it’s just life… perfectly aligning… and smiling at me. At you.
Thank you for being… here and now. I wonder where this podcast thread will weave into our reality.
