To my dearest student, beloved friend, & fellow human…

Welcome, all of you is welcome here. 🕯

Welcome to this space in which I will share my heart felt thoughts, yoga tips of this week + anything else I have been exploring.

Let us slow it down a bit.

I invite you to use this email as a space to invite a pause into your day, stop the agendas, the busy-bee vibes. I promise to do the same on my end as a write this.

So pause. Feel the seat beneath you. Feel the texture of your breath. The air on your skin. Hear the sounds around you.

Allow yourself space to be here.

Ahhh. Arriving? Good.

What is alive inside you? 🕯

How are you? Beneath the noise of the outside world and your “inner thinker”?

Slow down with me and tune in.

You can start by feeling the aliveness of your breath. Where is it inside right now?

Play with having your breath at your heart. Let it warm and connect to your Heart.

What’s here for you?

My heart is incredibly tender now. I lay in bed to write with fresh cut strawberries my beloved cut for us and feel into the questions my Heart longs to know the answers to.

My heart feels longing. A longing to be known. To be seen, touched, acknowledged in its radiance.

What’s on your Heart? Can you still feel the gentle pulse of your breath there? Perhaps you can sense the gentle drumbeat of your heart?

For me, in connecting here there is a small ache.

An awareness of the passing waves we call “life”.

A tender witness of my aging grandmother, seeing my nephews innocence fading quickly into teenage confusion and a deep knowing that somehow we are all here and that so many of us are still plagued with loneliness, pain and depression.

There is tenderness, a fresh dewy presence in my Heart.

The brain of your Heart has a wisdom of Truth beyond what the brain in your head can comprehend.

So, what’s it say?

Can you hear its whisper?

Listen. What does it long for?

My Heart longs for hope, for peace and to know and touch great Beauty in this life.

Most of all my Heart’s whisper tonight is for a slow down.

A withdrawal from the world and a dive into the slow river within.

What is it for you?

And can you listen? 🌹

We are familiar with the magic of the Heart.

Once it wakes up again, anything can bring your Heart online.

A beautiful flower that is so delicately blossoming that it delivers an awe-filled expansion in your chest.

The laughter of a child rippling through the air, witnessing the free flow of joy as they play.

Watching a film about loss or heart-break that cracks open your own Heart wounds.

That song that your grandmother used to sing plays on the radio and you feel your Heart melt and tears stream.

Or maybe you have found yourself saying, “that really touched my Heart.”

The more you breathe here, the more you listen, the more the Wisdom of your Heart will feel safe to open to you.

The cool thing is it is always present, always available, steadily beating and responding to the moment…right beneath your chest. 💞

I invite you to continue listening to your Heart. It is a direct communication into the Divine, the Mystery or “that which moves in all things”. 🪄

For your Yoga nourishment this week…

I invite you to soften within the pose. 🫁

Find the sharp and weeded areas inside and send them the warmth from your own Heart. Lean in bravely into yourself and your loved ones vulnerabilities. I promise, what you find will fill your Heart and Soul with great Beauty.

• Move into any yoga pose.

• Feel the soles of your feet firmly tethered to the Earth.

• Breathe deeply into the pose, feel how your insides come alive.

• Soften around your Heart, brain and anywhere else that isn’t necessary for holding you within that position.

• Repeat.

I love you.

Through all the tenderness and waves of life one thing is to know.

We are all here walking this journey together.

Thank you for being here. ❤️

Sending you all the goodness that exists. ♾️

See you soon 🌊

Until then, stay alive inside
