In this episode I share a personal experience of where I was at when I truly hated my body. I find that there is a wide range of feelings towards our bodies: We hate them and can't stop thinking about them. We avoid them and fully disconnect (maybe out of no longer "hating" them and also maybe because we aren't ready to fully "love" them.) And loving them for what they do for us, in a nonjudgemental way. Where are you on your self love journey?

Today is part 2 of this series breaking down the things you are feeling self critical of and bring a self compassionate perspective. We address not being very patient in our relationships, our income, and unkind feelings you think about yourself (I'm lazy, unintelligent, not graceful, too masculine and not eloquent, etc.)

In this episode we address 3 of the bigger topics that came up when I asked you what you are most self critical of. Look past some of the weird edits as I had a major cough happening, I just really wanted to get this out to you and not wait until I felt better :)

I know it can be really hard to imagine loving your body if you are in a space of obsessing and disliking it more often than not. I also know what has helped me move from dislike to love and acceptance. I want you to know this feeling of being okay in YOUR vessel (body) and wanting to change habits and patterns coming from a space of LOVE and not DISLIKE. This is why I teach my Hula & Mindfulness classes. So that you can practice happy movement and learn mindfulness tools to move past obsessing over your body and instead embrace it as is!!

A new year brings reflection and mini adjustments around here, not huge massive goals! As I reflected on 2022 I recognized it was a year of WORK. Physical work, emotional work, spiritual work. And now I'm ready for some LIGHTHEARTED FUN! :)

"I love you. I am listening" I recently had a beautiful meditation experience where this was the focus. And for the first time in a meditation, mid way through, we were guided to place our hands on our heart, and cradle our head down as if to bring our mind closer to our hearts. This new posture immediately brought me back to the days when my boys were babies and I would hold them at my heart and automatically cradle them with my head. It was an automatic expression of love. Of caring. And now I was doing that with my own heart... Beautiful. It was a way to connect to my body in a whole new light.

In this episode you get to hear the words from my students and how the Healing With Hula Course impacted their lives. I feel so lucky to get to have expereinced this with them. They truly are incredible. I hope you find a new perspective on how Hula & Tahitian can truly change the way you view yourself and create a connection with your body that nothing else does.
