Welcome back!

Today I invite you to question how in tune to nature you currently are. We are nature, however with our intelligence and lifestyle we tend to forget. 

How much energy do you experience when you wake up each morning?

Where in your life is there room for refinement?

Where can you enter the dance of being alive in a harmonious way, with intentional supportive routines that promote the vitality of your biology?

If you or someone you know is stuck on their path, you might be a good fit for my habits based program The Art of Connection.

Sign up for a free next step strategy session where will explore what a good next step for you would look like.

You can also start the Free 7 day start your day right challenge.

Your reviews are appreciated!

Thank you for tuning in today!

Today on the show I have Neve Grace Fletcher of YoginiNeve.com

This is an invitation to explore the divine energy that is flowing through all of us. To see sex as a practice of intimate connection and flow of energy rather than a climatic physical release. With this perspective it becomes a dance between the divine masculine and feminine within all of us.

Here are some highlights that we cover in our exploration!

- This energy is what created us all, it is at our core for expression and creativity. Children have this curiosity about the body and feelings, How can we begin to teach the youth about the body, the power within it and how it can be used for sacred connection.

- The power of Intention! How it makes the difference between just getting off and cultivating personal connection, or relational connection.

- How intention opens the door for healing and connection?

- Finding balance among the 4 aims

Kama - sensuality

Artha - wealth and support

Dharma - our duty and unique gifts

Moksha - Liberation

- Sexual creativity, is at our core, it is why you and I and all of the listeners are alive. We as a culture have become pleasure junkies, enter in your substance or activity, food, drugs, tv, shopping, sex, we are chasing feel good hormones rather than embracing and channeling the energy to unlock our highest potential!

- When does it become a meditative practice.

- I feel like it becomes a meditation, a practice, it can become a spiritual super power.

- Can it be used to face our fears and embrace and burn through our shadows, the things we might be scared to look at?

- Using a sacred sexual practice to embrace our dark side? The places and areas of ourselves we don’t want to face?

- All the shadow really needs is love, acceptance, appreciation, How can intimate connection help us embrace the dark side of ourselves?

Welcome back,

Today I share with you two tips for building connection to your loved ones. It begins with being at ease in your body and feeling at home. 

Don't forget to breathe. When you notice yourself becoming reactive slow down your exhale and notice how it shifts your state. This helps balance the nervous system, allowing you to digest your food and connect with others.

Eat slowly. Take time to connect and listen to the conversation going on around the table. Tap into the intentions behind the words and subtle energy being shared. Everyone is doing their best so acknowledging this will help tremendously.

Appreciate the small stuff. Every moment can be a gift if we choose to see it as such, and appreciation helps guide us to see this.

Thank you for the reviews, and if you would like to show some appreciation you can leave a review. Feel free to reach out to me on social media or at [email protected]

Thank you!

Enjoy the holiday tomorrow.

With love and gratitude,

Alec

Apana Vayu

The exhale of the body which governs the downward flow of energy. It is related to the elimination of what you no longer need. 

This week I am inviting practitioners to connect and sense the subtle flow of apana vayu in their yoga asana practice.

I am also inviting practitioners to see notice the importance of their behaviors and lifestyle, and how each choice influences the whole experience of life.

With a healthy downward flow of energy, one can ground deeply into their body, their experience on the mat, and into deeper states of connection with others. 

This is understood by what one eats, drinks and how it supports the elimination, yes bowel movement or how it hinders this flow. 

I look forward to seeing you in class and deepening this exploration with you there!

With love,

Alec
