“Thanks to Impermanence, Everything is Possible”

Impermanence

By Thich Nhat Hanh   “Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.”-Thich Nhat Hanh When I read that quote for the first time last week, I laughed out loud. How truthful. How difficult it is to feel sometimes. I invite you to go back and to read last week’s blog around the mantra, “A state, not […]

Fear makes the mind flustered

fear makes the mind flustered

“Fear makes the mind flustered.” I heard myself say this during a session with a private client recently. And it’s true.  Fear makes the mind narrow in its view and lessens in its abilities.  One cannot see choices when fear takes over. The sense of agency tends to get lost and a person can feel […]

I’m not failing, I’m recalibrating

Dropping into our body

This is the mantra that popped into my head as I was feeling down, embarrassed, and ‘less than’, about the fact that I did not have a blog made for this week (yet!) and that I was so behind with things; even just cleaning our bathroom. Just as fast as that negative thought of “you […]

The Magic of Retreats: What I Continue to Be Shown About Them

Magic of retreats

The way that Amy and I run retreats is truly like no other out there. I’m not bragging, but drawing from my experience from this past weekend’s “Savor Simplicity Retreat”.

HOW can I practice self-compassion?

We started with what mindfulness and self-compassion are, then explored what it is not and what blocks us from acting in self-compassionate ways.

Summer Social (media) Sabbatical

This is the first year I am creating this container and I intend to make it a yearly sabbatical each August.  It is for those who wish to separate from social media for a month in order to create more space for themself.  For those who wish to nurture connections to nature as well as […]

Re-membering Who We Are

When starting each gathering in my “Mindfulness as a Path to Self-Compassion” course, I did something VERY different.  I centered us with a piece of music I curated to go along with the theme of the day.   As we come to our third week in the course, and as this Self-Compassion series comes to its […]

What is Self-Compassion anyway?

Hello Dear One, I hope you are well.  What do you need right now?  What one small thing can you do right now to ease any pain?  Maybe a breath, a head circle, a sigh, a moment to lay on the floor, or just a moment to close your eyes away from this screen (then […]

What is Mindfulness Anyway?

What is mindfulness?  I’ve been thinking about this a lot, wink wink. That’s probably not even a mindfulness joke, but I thought the winks would help! 😉   Mindfulness can help bring about playfulness and light heartedness for sure 🙂 So we aren’t always taking things, or ourselves, with a rigidity that ends up holding […]
