Happy Friday! I'm super excited to tell you that I've got a special surprise for you this Friday! I recorded a joy meditation and I'm psyched to share it with you!
Joy Tip Wednesday: Do What You Feel
Feel a Little
Playing Small
Confession time. I've been playing small lately. Falling into this pattern that I do to hold myself from breakthroughs, growth, and new horizons in my life. I go there because it feels safe. Like a monastery in a forrest and my meditation practice. Playing safe feels like a cocoon I could stay in forever. Or at least that's the story my mind tells me.
Joy Tip Wednesday: The Sticky Middle
In this addition of Joy Tip Wednesday I'm exploring how I show up for myself in the stickiest of times...the middle. I've been reading the brilliant work Rising Strong from Brene Brown this past week and she helped me realize something. I hate middles. I want them to end. And my mind wants life to get on already and get over "the middle" of everything.
Showing Up
Practice is on my mind lately. Practice in the widest sense of the term of consistently staying committed to something.
Tomorrow marks one year since I left Washington, DC to make my way cross country on a road trip that changed my life. I spent time in national parks, took long drives through hills of golden brush in silence, and I lived in a Buddhist monastery. I've been doing some "stocktaking" over the last week of the last year since my trip.
Back to Basics and Beyond!
I am super excited to have a new class schedule starting this week with some fun changes! First, my Monday evening class at 14th Street is now a Dharma 1 class! This is a perfect class for beginners to Dharma Yoga or regular Dharma Yoga practitioners who are looking to work on the foundations of their practice.
Even MORE Vulnerability and Courage
Joy Tip Wednesday: What Color Are Your Glasses?
I've been thinking a lot about attitude these days. The reflection started when I thought about people I admire, living and dead, who have many, many more years of experience on this plane of existence than me and what they had in common. The one thing they had in common...a tenacious awareness of the attitude they both cultivated and invested in during their daily lives.
