Training our Mind towards Compassionate Attention
In my personal decision to choose to be present for all of life, the good and the bad, I know that I also need tools and aspects that are going to help keep me grounded and stable. Last week’s blog on compassionate attention really started to show me that that is a foundation from which […]
Offering Yourself Compassionate Attention
I enjoy how a lot of people choose one word for their year ahead. That’s never been my goal. I don’t want to feel limited to one word. Because life is so fleeting and fluctuating, sometimes one thing is just not enough. I want to feel it all. That’s terrifying and exhilarating. Some feelings are […]
Year End Reflections and What I Look Forward to in 2023
LWhere are you are during this time of reflection! What’s in your heart? What are you planting? What are you letting go of? What are you surrendering to? What are you creating?! Here is what I am experiencing at the end of 2022 as I also look forward to 2023!… I’ll say it again, I […]
Asana – The Physical Act of Storytelling
In an incredible podcast that was recommended to me recently, the host said these words, “physical act of storytelling”. I immediately thought of asanas, the physical postures of yoga. It may come as no surprise that I share with you that they were talking about shapeshifting. And that is exactly what we do in asanas, […]
Going at the pace of ones body
Slow down my sweet friend, it’s okay. Go at the pace of the body. What happens when one’s world has expectations, deadlines, appointments, things to do, things to get done, people depending on you, and people needing you? What happens when your own inner dialogues are ones of worry, fast paced anxiety, guilt of not […]
Seeing through the eyes of your heart
There is a very beautiful ‘pas de deux’, a “dance for two”, taking place between your intuition and your heart… You see, the third eye is for looking. But not just looking, it is for “seeing”. It is your ability to see beyond space, time and form. It is your home of insights and knowing. […]
What Gratitude Does & How We Can Use It for Our WellBeing
What comes up for you with the word gratitude? In the past, I would have been more of a skeptic and shrugged my shoulders at the “attitude of gratitude”. And yet, over the course of my life, I have come to realize the great truth of the power of the practice of gratitude. In this […]
I’m taking a stand, and apologizing
Recognizing the sacred feels different than recognizing the beauty in all things. To recognize the beauty in all things, when that’s not the energetic or mental space in which I’m in, almost feels like a spiritual bypassing. “Just see the beauty,” “good vibes only,” and “just look on the bright side”. I love good vibes […]
Satya and Santosha, a Dynamic Duo
I had pre-planned this third week of the month around the theme of ‘recognition’ to be recognizing the beauty and good in all things. WELL, that wasn’t going to happen because I wasn’t seeing it, lol! And so, in the honesty of what my experience was the previous week, I caught a little glimpse of […]
Recognizing and Trusting our Intuition
Something doesn’t feel right. There’s a little rumbling in your stomach, your eyebrows start to furl and your eyes start to look around. Your energy feels a little unsettled. As you notice all these physical and energetic sensations within yourself, your mind starts to become curious. There’s a sense you have at this moment that’s […]
