Growth This time of year we see so many posts about growing, becoming a better you, new year-bigger and better you! While it’s all well and good to want to be better I sometimes think we maybe approach it wrong. I believe that the best you is the most authentic you, the natural and true you. I don’t think that by changing your diet, thinking positively or changing your self that you’ll get therenot that these aren’t good changes to make, they may guide you in the right dire...ction but they won’t uncover your truest self. I think what you need is already in you but it’s been buried by years of conditioning, living in survival mode, people pleasing and fear. This requires a lot of work, a lot of really seeing yourself and seeing why you are the way you are. It’s about navigating through the negative and dark parts of your life, it’s about getting super clear on what you want regardless of what others think. Doing this kind of work you discover some pills about yourself that can be hard to swallow, you are more aware of your reactions but even though you are aware it doesn’t mean you change your habits right away so you sit in this messy space for awhile, aware of your faults but still not able to react perfectly in moments of stress. Doing this work is a constant learning curve but it’s learning all about yourself which is some of the most rewarding work you can do. Once you delve into it you feel a sense of freedom that you never knew was possible. You get to experience pure happiness and presence in your life. You get to understand that so much of what doesn’t align with you can be left behind. This type of work is more of what I’ll be getting into in 2022 so make sure you stay tuned. If digging through the layers to get to your authentic self, learning more about following your dreams and your intuition sounds like something you’d like to pursue reach out! #newyearsfads #innerwork #personalgrowth #createyourreality #loveyourlife #beyourself #authenticity #uncoveringyourself #souljourney #selfawareness #lifepurpose #intuition #selfknowledge #authenticself #yourjourney

3 spots have opened up for Friday due to people being stuck at the coast! If you couldn’t get a spot here’s your chance! 2 left for next Wednesday as well.

I had to pull out the big guns this morning. I’ve been struggling with stress this week and have a hard time finding a moment so instead of working this morning I gave myself 20 minutes of quiet. I had such a hard time settling into my meditation that I had to pull out some helpers. I rarely use incense while meditating but I thought the scent might help calm me. I also grabbed my mala so that I could have something to focus on instead of my racing mind. Even with all of thi...s I only got maybe a minute where I felt calm and peaceful. Not every meditation will feel great, and even though this one didn’t I know I will feel better because of it. It’s also shown me I need to make it a priority to get back to a daily practice. When I get stressed and overwhelmed my first instinct is to push through, even when I know better! Give yourself permission today to slow down and take a breath. #dailypractice #meditationpractice #selfcare #slowdown #stressmanagement #mentalwellness #mindfulness #meditate #stressandoverwhelm #stressedout #breathe

Why would I pay to meditate? Isn’t it just sitting there in silence? I’ve been asked many times why people pay to meditate. Aren’t they paying you to just sit quietly in a room? Well there’s a few reasons why people pay, and also we don’t just sit in silence for an hour! 1Lots of people don’t know how to get started meditating, they feel less silly in a group of like minded people as opposed to sitting in their living room legs crossed listening to weird chanting music... 2The connection created through a group class is beautiful, inviting and welcoming. The amazing energy coming from everyone makes for a very peaceful and calming class 3Sometimes moms just need an hour away from life and $15 is a small price to pay for that 1 hour of calm and quiet 4We don’t just meditate, we do stretches, breath work and drink tea . These are all used to guide you into relaxation 5You might just learn something about yourself, your body, or your nervous system. You might get the rest you didn’t know you needed or have your eyes opened to why something has felt off. There are so many benefits to group meditation that I can’t possibly list them all here, and each person experiences something completely individual to them. If you’ve been on the fence about coming to a class here’s your sign to do it! Come and try it out, nobody will laugh at you or think you are a woo-woo weirdo as we are all coming to the class for our own unique reasons. It’s a completely safe space where you won’t be judged for stepping out of your comfort zone Maybe I can ease any of your fears or doubts about class, what’s been keeping your from coming? Let me know in the comments or through a DM! #groupmeditations #hourofquiet #regulateyournervoussystem #guidedmeditation #meditationteacher #holisticwellness #mentalhealth #calming #meditationforbeginners #learntomeditate #stressrelief #stressmanagement #calmthechaos #relaxation #calmthemind #innerpeace #personalgrowth #comfortzone

Hey everyone, With Facebook changing over to Meta in the future I’m not really sure how things will be looking for groups and pages so thought I’d be proactive. If you’d like for me to be able to contact you through email please head to the link below(my website) and scroll down on the home page to subscribe. I’d like to be able to keep in touch with everyone about meditation and special event schedules. I will never give out your emails or send you any spam just preparing for the unknown! I will continue to post classes etc on social media first and foremost https://kristameikle.com/

Today is #stressawarenessday. As you guys know I’m all about stress over here! I see stress affecting so many people in my line of work and it’s usually the first thing I try to work on. If you are feeling the stress today take a minute (or 10) to bring your nervous system back into its parasympathetic state. Take a walk in the woods Take 10 deep breaths, inhaling fully through your nose and out through your mouth... Take 5 minutes to meditate, drink a tea or have a good cry Let yourself have a bath tonight, turn the lights down, light some candles, use those bath salts you’ve been saving and relax Go to bed early Write down everything on your mind, get it out to clear up space Stress affects us all and as much as it would be nice to just decrease the stress in our lives that sometimes isn’t realistic in the current season of life. The best thing to do is to create a toolkit you can turn to when you need help working through and releasing that stress. #stressmanagement #stressrelief #nervoussystemregulating #fightorflight #stressandanxiety #holisticwellness #nervoussystem #parasympathetic #mentalhealth #meditationguide #holisticnutritionist #wellnesswednesday #stresstips
