a story about trust.

I didn't drop off the face of the earth, and the excuse of life being busy doesn't quite cut it with the fact that I haven't written a blog post in almost two years (whoops). I have been, and still am actively, working on being more consistently present and using my pen and journal to write all the weird and wonderful movements of my mind. It has been an interesting and greatly changing amount of time.

manifestation, boundaries, and universal truth.

Three words that are screaming so loudly for me recently I cannot hear anything else. So here is a question for you, how often do you sacrifice your own belief and inner truth to appease the opinion and perception of someone else? We call this “keeping the peace”, “not wanting to cause a scene”, “wanting to fit in” - I call it bullshit.

svadhyaya - self study.

I have had the feeling to write on my blog again more and more lately with everything going on in the world, and today the word “svadhyaya” came to me. I couldn’t think of anything better to write about during this time, svadhyaya is the study by and of oneself. The Path of the Yoga Sutras states that the first steps toward self-improvement and self-refinement is by looking at ourselves honestly and objectively.

chapters.

I’m all about change, I believe in it, I love it, I encourage it. Don’t get me wrong it strikes up all sorts of anxiety, but the good kind! I just recently closed a chapter of my life that was close my heart and important, it also happened to be my current career!

this little light of mine.

Are you singing it yet? Well we were last night during what is definitely in my all time top 3 yoga classes I’ve ever taken! And that’s a really bold statement. It’s the most liberating feeling when you give in to your body and let it guide you instead of putting restrictions on movements, feelings, or our body’s natural ebb and flow.

the thrill.

A thrill, a high, a buzz. Whatever you want to call it, is what I’ve been ebbing and flowing along these past few weeks! My classes started, the response has been more than I expected and the feeling!!! The feelings that I have throughout my classes are unexplainable, a post yoga high is the greatest feeling in the world, that I would bet my left foot on! Truth.
