I wanna ask you something. What is that thing you keep protecting? The little thought, feeling, relationship, person, fantasy, dream or secret You know, the one that enters your mind often but you push to the side or distract yourself from? THAT one... You may think you’re protecting yourself, or someone else, but it usually ends up being the thing that causes us a lot of suffering Now let me tell you something. It’s time to let it go Acknowledge it BE with it & release it . . . . . #fertility #fertilityawareness #womenshealth #pcos #acupuncture #yeghealth #yeghealer #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #healing #consciousness

The Turtle & The Fox . There is this Buddhist tale about a turtle and a fox. The fox sees the turtle and wants to attack it. Eat it, basically The turtle, knowing he is too slow to run away from the fox, retreats back into his shell as the fox starts to come after him... After a while the fox gets tired and goes away Your thoughts, anger, sadness, fear, expectations are like the fox. Trying to infiltrate and engulf your Soul or your Mind Meditation is less about finding a higher consciousness or clearing your mind and more about the practice of going inward SATIPATTHANA - to keep your attention inside SATI - attention UPA - inside THANA - to keep This is not running away or avoiding your shit, it’s also not about suppressing or ignoring the things you feel It’s about going inward, noticing and being aware of what is there, allowing it its time and then becoming friends with it Response as opposed to reaction In a world filled with fox like thoughts, practice being a turtle . . . . . #meditation #meditationspace #buddhism #healing #mindfulness #mindfulnessmeditation #explorepage

I know you feel like a Mother without a Child . . I know, now first hand, how much you battle between action and surrender. That ever moving push and pull between trying to make it happen and surrendering into faith that it will happen when it is meant to .... And trust me when I say, I understand how badly it fucking sucks . I have felt sad, defeated, hopeless, angry, resentful, fucking vengeful, confused, annoyed, dissociated, lost and questioned everything . I have been angry with myself, my partner, my family, my practice, my friends, society, healing, medicine and my body . And I see how misguided we are as practitioners when you come to see us . So this is my promise to you moving forward, I will sit with you. In the depths of whatever piece of this fertility journey you are in. I will sit with you . Because at my lowest points so far, after finding out my potential to have children is in question, all I ever wanted was for someone to just BE with me . . . . .art : @lianaliberato #infertility #infertilityawareness #yeghealth #yeghealing See more

https://yegfitness.ca/generation-sex/ I got an opportunity to write another article for this months edition of YEG Fitness Magazine. Sex seems to be the one aspect of humanity that seems to be cut off from generation to generation. Why is that? And could we be alleviating a lot of suffering if we started to share a little more with each other about our experiences?

There is this tender place between something & everything. That’s where I see myself - Akif Kichloo .... . Everyone has either been that person, or knows a person, that seems to shift fully when they begin a new relationship . Priorities definitely shift when you introduce a new significant person into your life, and I don’t think there is anything wrong there . And I often ask myself, was I ever truly happy in solitude or was I really just passing the time until I found a partner I wanted to shift parts of my life around for? . I enjoy time alone. I didn’t mind being single, truly. And now I’m in a relationship where we spend a lot of time apart, and it’s difficult. In a lot of ways . But I also begin to ask myself, is the forced space allowing me room to maintain a sense of my own life separate from my relationship. A piece of myself that’s just for me? . A tender place between something & everything? . . . . . Anyone else on long distance relationships? What’s your hardest parts and the things you actually enjoy about it? See more
