No Matter What, I Will Still..

Today (and the next several days) will tell us a lot... including a lot about ourselves and how we've grown and changed.

Be here with me, in the Truth.

Practices to support your life

I love you so much you can’t even know.

Yes, you. 

You are worth the world. Your well-being is incredibly important. Your life is as important as all of life. 

I am holding you in my heart.

Remember that there are more people that are for you than are against you. More people who are here to help than those who are here to hurt. Though gentler, often quieter, often blending in with the sea of the norm, those who are ultimately driven and guided by love vastly outnumber those who are driven and guided by hate (which is just an extension of fear).

You are loved so much you can’t even know. May we all look to each other, recognize our sameness, and lean into that for support.


--------------------------


I can't even begin to describe the multitude of emotions I'm experiencing today. I know you know the feeling. The experiences accumulated over the past years and, more specifically, the past several months, have stretched me, broken me, changed me, grown me, in more ways that I'm sure I'm even aware of at this point.

Many of us have broken through, what I refer to as, the glass ceilings and glass floors of our human emotional capacity - we've been blown open, burned down and, yet, wake up to another day. 

Today feels urgent and heavy. And it is, in many ways. But I also know that in the moments, days, and months ahead, NO MATTER WHAT, I WILL STILL:

- be kind & love more (and work through whatever is in me that causes me to fear/hate)
- connect with and support my neighbors
- stay engaged with organizations doing critically important work
- stay committed to my growth and learning
- teach my children to value and respect all life, including their own
- make choices that heal our planet from the local to the planetary level
- uplift and support the voices and businesses and unique needs of BIPOC and other marginalized communities
- recognize all that I have and, with gratitude, give more and more freely to those who have less (time, energy, resources)
- stand, unwaveringly, in the Truth and continue to work to grow Consciousness within myself and within the world

Please take a few moments to get clear on what it is you will STILL do, who you will STILL be, regardless of what does or does not change today/in the months ahead. Honor your journey and your growth by staying in true recognition of what you've learned, how you've grown, how you've been changed and shaped. I'd love to hear what you've committed to... 

Stay Conscious and remember that Consciousness is an ongoing, unfolding state - not rigid or fixed - so stay open to the experiences as they unfold.

One of the more amazing things about Yoga is that it has the capacity to meet you where you are, to bend and shape itself as a practice to meet your needs. 

Over the years, I’ve moved from a fiery, dynamic and physically challenging practice, to one intensely focused on precision of alignment and subtle body exploration. To, now, one that is almost 💯 about restoring and nourishing my body - muscles, joints, and nervous system.

No matter the form or style or “goal” or methodology, Yoga has ultimately always connected me to myself and to Consciousness. Yoga introduced me to an experience of myself which I have further understood and cultivated through meditation and inner work.

I’m so grateful to know how to allow Yoga to continue to support me, especially in these challenging times with intense limitations of time and space, and with an ongoing accumulation of intensely difficult conditions in the environment around us.

And I’m so grateful to be able to continue to offer my teaching to you, whenever and wherever you are able to practice. 

Join me on Patreon for weekly meditations, short format yoga practices and longer practices for those with more time and space. With multiple tiers of membership to choose from (starting at only $5/mo), you can select an option that best fits your life right now. 

There are fewer barriers to self-care than you’re telling yourself 😉❤️🙏🏼
