Feeling my emotions can be hard. Within me lives the habit of pushing away what I feel away. I have learned in slow steps, and in grand leaps. To stand in the intensity of my emotions.... To honour them. To shift them. To lean on wise others that know how to stand in the tidal wave of feeling and be perhaps changed and perhaps better for it. Sometimes those wise others are a yoga therapist, sometimes those wise others is a river or a tree. Sometimes those wise others live with me. Emotions are powerful, transformational, and feeling them is our human birthright and power.

It only takes a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that, something in me settles, softens, makes space for imperfection. The harsh voice... of judgement drops to a whisper and I remember again that life isn't a relay race; that we will all cross the finish line; that waking up to life is what we were born for. As many times as I forget, catch myself charging forward without even knowing where I am going, that many times I can make the choice to stop, to breath, and be, and walk slowly into the mystery. by Danna Faults

Y E A R N I NG What are you yearning for? What is your heart tugging you towards? What is the call you hear?... What do you yearn for so deeply it is scary to say out loud. > > > > > > > > > Invitation to DM me or write below. What you are draw to and/or what stops you? Now, as always it is an honour to hear your perspective.

Quoted from Callings - by Gregg Levoy > How does this statement land in your being? > What is arising and is alive in you now in response to taking in the statement "The Truth is not simple."?... No right or wrong what to be with what is alive in you. I do encourage curiosity and awareness though...

A B O U T M E An about me post is hard for me. As I type and retype. I get un-centered by wondering what you beings on the other end with think of what I write.... I re-center, re-anchor to my heart. A B O U T M Y H E A R T Yearns for connection. For you to know you are amazing and part of this world. It yearns for you to experience yourself directly in this way. A B O U T M Y M I N D My mind wants to fix the hurts of this world. Bring integrity, and sustainability to this world... oh, wait my lifting belly says that is my S O U L ' S want also. ABOUT ME I am at home in the real and true. Sometimes, I keep myself small because I am afraid of being hurt. And my embodied knowing supports me in knowing myself with more freedom, more truth. And more courage. This is a gift I offer myself. It's also a gift I offer you if you want to engage in it. FAV FOODS: Bananas and dark chocolate FAV SEASON: Winter FAV ELEMENT: That is a hard one. Water, Earth and Fire. I know it is not air.

L I C H E N Wise rock painted by the coloured bodies of lichen. Caressed by fluffy snow. When I take in the miniature and assuming beauty of lichen on a rock that has seen the centuries go by as I see the days go by. Life feels more okay, awe-inspired and at peace.

D A R K N E S S I refer here to what we fear, what we avoid, what we could rather pretend does not exist. I refer to hard emotions. Grief, sadness, shame, loneliness, fear, anger. Whatever, is a hard emotion for you to be with.... I also refer to how often we think light is better than dark. Joy better than hopelessness. Stars better then the night sky between them. Neither better. Neither worse. Both valuable and needed. The darkness allows the stars to shine. All emotions are wise guides. W I S E W A Y S T O E N T E R There are as with all things, exceptions, and wise ways to enter darkness. If you are learning to stand in more of you. To enter the cave you fear... Trust your knowing of what is enough, without being too much. Ask for help if needed. There are guides like myself, that know that terrain. Please DM me if you'd like to have a conversation about this. Comments and your perspective welcome here, as always. #yogayxe #natureheals

Remember What gifts does remembering offer you today? How do you engage in remembering, if you do?... >>>>>>> Please share. >>>>>>> I personally miss the ritual of the Remembrance day's ceremony at school. The gathering in silence in community, the ring of the trumpet against my being. I will be silent at 11 am but beyond that, I am not sure. Perhaps some of your sharing will inspire me.

"Either one remains ensnared - I am my tragedy - or one comes through the tragedy and finds oneself to be another person." - David Tresemer (Lilipoh article Fall 2020) A month and a decade have passed. I have come through my tragedy. Through a process of akin to alchemy what was a tragedy, has become a gift. ... >>>>>>>>>> The tragedy I refer to here is post-partum mental illness.
