Anyone else struggling right now?

No matter what, remember what's true...

Be here with me, in the Truth.

Practices to support your life View this email in your browser   Oh, hey, friends. It’s me over here just struggling through life these days. Don't know about you, but I'm finding it extremely hard these days to be the version of myself that I most enjoy being… the fluid, connected, resilient one. This one that’s taken hold for now isn’t unfamiliar. But if I’m being honest, it’s slightly different in quality. I am much more certain if it’s falseness… and there is a little space there. A space that makes it just a bit less dense, just a bit less sticky.  Knowing that all things change, that nothing is permanent, helps but it doesn’t ensure the pace or speed at which we get to experience that shift.  So, I wait. And notice. And keep doing what I know to do. And wait some more. Sometimes the practice is simply remembering what you know to be true even when every thing inside of you and outside of you seems to be pointing to something else. On repeat. Pointing yourself back to Truth again and again and again.   , Ellie      --------------------------   *Monday Meditation* 7:30-8pm via Zoom   The link to join is below:   Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89731541924?pwd=WTdsOGlsemRkaU1xbm43SDAycHRPUT09 Meeting ID: 897 3154 1924 Passcode: 874259 To join, please send a donation* via Venmo (@EllieBurkeLife) or PayPal (ellie@ellieburke.life) {donations generally range from $5-$20, please offer what you can} *donations to benefit BEAM: BEAM is a training, movement building and grant making organization dedicated to the healing, wellness and liberation of Black and marginalized communities.   -------------------------- *SPACE AVAILABLE*  Next Session Begins in September! Weekly Meditation & Coaching Group     image from Charlie Macksey's book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse   I've opened up a few spots in my ongoing Weekly Meditation & Coaching Groups (what I like to refer to as "The School of Unlearning") - this is a rare opportunity to join, so please let me know if you are interested! We all have learned who to be, what to be, and how to be in this world. This conditioned way of operating in the world keeps us limited in our relationship to our life as it directs us, unconsciously, in the choices we make, the actions we take, and in what we believe about ourselves and the world. Through awareness-based coaching tools & practices, we have the chance to begin to undo the unconscious parts of ourselves that have us operating in a state of unrecognized reactivity to life. The support and presence of a group of committed peers helps guide individuals in personal growth and transformation. This is the School of Unlearning. No prior meditation experience necessary.
