Taking care of a tired heart. It is something I previously struggled with by trying to resist the natural ways of life. But there is deep healing and transformation that can take place when we allow ourselves to exist at a slower pace. To allow our bodies and minds to recover with love and care. I wanted to share how I take care of myself when I feel i'm burnt out and existing at a lower energy. I hope you enjoy!

Hello my friends. Okay... let’s acknowledge that I've delayed posting episodes for a few weeks now (lol). This February it felt as though I experienced some huge highs and lows. Through this vulnerable period I treasured coming to the core teachings of presence to break free from my cocoon of discomfort. Through some deep compassion I really feel as though I have undergone some expansive metamorphosis. So now here I am, ready to offer you an episode on love. Love has developed at the core of my life in all the simple moments of: cooking yummy meals, meditating, studying, going on walks, and even brushing my hair. It has become a prominent energy at the centre of my work, relationships, and inner journey in the most incredible way. I attended a lecture recently with Brother Phap Huu on "the four minds of true love". With the wisdom of his teachings, I talk about how these four minds of love can be naturally integrated into our daily life. I'm thankful you're here and excited for us to open our hearts just a little more today. 🦋

Hey friends! I'm so passionate about this topic on the power of enjoying our educational experience within our hearts and how this can inspire friends/ community around us to flourish and feel light in their education too. Education tends to put us in a vulnerable place at times, and this is the beauty of it. This is what can allow us to grow and flourish. In this episode I talk about what energy I bring to my educational spaces, how to intentionally show up as a light energy to inspire those in the same space, and how to partake in activities such as jobs and associations in a way that aligns with our heart. I think this talk will also be super applicable to those in the work environment as I talk about working with presence and showing up positively for your work community quite a lot. I hope you enjoy. Sending all the love! ❤️

Welcome back to the first episode of 2023!

I'm so excited that my wonderful mum is joining me on this episode! Throughout my childhood my mum has been such a positive light with how she embraces joy and even finds peace in the face of adversity. She has been one of my biggest inspirations in discovering inner spaciousness and joy within myself. In this episode she discusses her journey with presence and specifically how the power of mindful movement allowed her to come into love within herself. I hope you enjoy.

Compassion is consistently invited at the core of all of the mindful activities I practice : mindful meditations, mindful walking, yoga, and inner body awareness. Extending this compassion to myself and others during practice has allowed space for so much inner acceptance and growth to be present. Today, I walk you through a loving-kindness meditation to invite healing energy within you and within the lives of those around you. Please feel free to reach out to me @ajourneywithjoypodcast to share your experience if you feel this resonates! Or if you'd like reach out to me with any suggestions for how I can better comfort your needs in future meditations please feel open to do so. I love teaching meditation and always looking for ways to do better on my journey. Thank you so much for being you and remember that this practice can be here to support you at any time of the day. Sending so much love!!!

Feeling at home has been a long but beautiful journey for me, and most definitely something I didn't feel in my early adolescence. I would always justify not belonging where I lived by believing narratives like: "I don't connect to anything here", "theres not enough nature", and my personal favourite at the time: "I just don't belong here". Through my journey I have discovered the beauty behind experiencing the life I am living in the moment. With that came letting go of inner resistance to embrace the world around me. I began to be surrounded by wonderfulness when I walked through the trees in a nearby park and my heart began to feel warm when I passed a stranger smiling at me. What a wonderful gift that because I feel at home within myself; everywhere is home. I hope you enjoy this short episode and maybe my journey to feeling home may help you feel home too. Wherever you are.:)
