Shifting Slowly

Rooting down while life shifts.<br>Here, I write through the ache, the questions, and the quiet becoming — learning to stand steady even when nothing feels certain.

I Wish You Well

If there is one hard thing I’ve learned in this short life of mine, it’s this; wish those that are no longer in your life, well. Those that once meant something, had a space in your life, had a piece of your heart. Those that left in silence but left us with so many words… — read more

Will over Fear

Relying on yourself takes such courage. Every defeat you’ve ever encountered, suddenly comes rushing back. Can I? But how? “I just can’t”, you mutter. “I want to”, you whisper. “Will I make it?”, you doubt. Just try, you push. And it’s in the trying, regardless of success or failure, that you open yourself to all… — read more

Lack

How can I possibly ever get it right, if I’m always doing it wrong? I get so frustrated with myself. My lack. All I want is this, this one thing. This way of sitting and writing and expressing and I lack in sitting. I speak all day in my head. Have grand ideas on things… — read more

Transform into your Light

Humans, listen up, we have a duty to ourselves. An obligation. The obligation being that we use all our senses. Every single one. Especially during this time. We all have a 6th sense. Some call it, that gut feeling. Some have automatic access to it, after years of practice. Some, are just not aware they… — read more

I AM FORGIVING

My mantra for today’s yoga practice was, “I am Forgiving”. I was going to change it to, “FORGIVEN” but I already know that and I wanted to be honest with myself. For a long time, I used to put the word ‘too’ after I AM when it came to the word ‘forgiving’. I used… — read more

Sit with It

It’s so important to sit in the pain and many of us don’t. We don’t for FEAR we have to relive it over and over and feel that pain. Our greatest challenge to healing is fear. We need to feel the pain to know we can walk through to the other side of the pain.… — read more

These are restraints for Proper Conduct as given in the Holy Veda. They are a form of moral imperatives, commandments, rules or goals. Aparigraha- the final Yama about letting… — read more
