Presence In The Micro Moments
For this past week’s intention I was watching how the universe was always sending me messages and how they were so beautifully woven into each other: During our “Sunday Morning Special” class Patrick talked about how asana, postures, are a constant push and pull with gravity. And then I went over to find that […]
On Not Being One’s Self: Saucha
What happens when I’m not myself? Last week we explored being oneself. Is it possible to purely be yourself? Is it possible to be purely in the moment? Could being purely in the moment help us to be purely ourselves? And what might it offer us? Saucha in Sanskrit stands for “purity”. It can also […]
On Being One’s Self
What would it be like to be your Self all the time? What could you imagine might happen? Mark Nepo wrote in his book “The Book of Awakening”, the following passage: “Like that old saying, “Water fills a hole,” the ways of others will fill the space we live in if we don’t feel that […]
Taking Solace in the Waves
What effects are you wanting to create in the “shape” of your world and that of others, just like the waves shape the shore? Email me and let me know. A para-sailor glides over the cliffs as waves meet Moss Beach. Moss Beach, California. I’m just going to dive right in, pun intended. 😉 […]
We Can Get Back into the Light
We Can Get Back to the Light… “The human soul is to God is as the flower to the Sun; It opens at its approach, and shuts when it withdraws.”- Benjamin Whichcote “God, like the sun, emanates on all: on the hill exposed in the open, on the plant growing in the window, Even […]
Muladhara in a New Light
We have kicked off my annual Journey thru the Chakras in my weekly classes! This is always such a great opportunity for witnessing One’s Self, and checking in on what might be needed now for best healing practices. I cannot believe that it was March 3rd, 2020, just over a year ago, that I had […]
Wild Abandon + Aparigraha
Last week in the topic around compassion, I was struck by these words out of Jack Kornfield’s book, “The Wise Heart’”: “The courageous heart is the one that is unafraid to open to life without armoring. As the poet Rilke reminds us, “Ultimately it is on our vulnerability that we depend”.” After having collected so […]
Compassion
I love this simple picture of Max and Quinn. He is holding her hand to both guide her and protect her from running into the street. It was a reminder for compassionate acts of kindness and consideration that we can offer ourselves and each other. As we continue on the journey of the essence of […]
Action
This week in my classes, after a hiatus in the month of March to be with goddesses during women’s history month, we are back inside the larger overarching intention of aspects needed when in the journey of life. In the past, we’ve been through consideration of beginnings/starting a new, mastery versus success, surrender, and balance. […]
Lakshmi: Beauty and Abundance
Where do you see beauty around you right now? How do you remind yourself to see the beauty in all things? Take a moment to reflect. Now, I invite you to name at least one area of your life in which you are abundant. Are you abundant with the amount of shoes you have? Are […]
