LET'S PLAY: THE CREATE PODCAST

This week we are talking to one of our favorite yoga and meditation teachers, Lucas Hall! Most mornings in NYC, you can find us at NY Loves Yoga! We talk to Lucas about his spiritual and creative road, as he opens up about his journey of owning his Truth: how he personally learned to discern what his is, to trust it, and to live by it.

Isn’t just so sweet how we want to get it right? We have such hearts for good! But often trying to “get it right” means that we are living by someone else’s rules instead of listening to our own hearts. There is a spirit inside of us that want to be expressed and it takes freedom to allow it. When we value the expression of our spirit over the ideas of “supposed to” we find ourselves infused with new inspiration, clarity, and joy. Here’s to the permission to experiment!!! 

Have you ever thought about the Light in You being yours to enjoy?? Like all that joy, love, beauty and fun being a gift to your very self!? This week we talk about how sometimes we get so busy giving it away, that we forget it was given to us as OUR OWN treasure. We also answer a listener's question about what to do with the Holidays. Natalie talks about why she loves the Light that is Christmas, and how to make the Holiday a gift that is for YOU as well!!

We did something fun the week! We opened up our journals and the notes on our phones and did a little jam session on insights that had recently come in. Have fun with us as we bounce through topics such as making choices, play and celebration, expectations, greeting disappointment, and being in our “heart space."

This week we are talking ABUNDANCE with the beautiful, glorious, and oh-so-wise Miata Edoga! Miata is an actress and creator of “Abundance Bound” — a financial education company for artists! Miata believes that all of us were meant to create lives that thrive — that includes our relationship with ourself, our art, and our finances. Listening to her talk about her journey is so inspiring, and she tells us how she has helped so many others develop lives of abundance. At the end of our conversation, Miata also has a special offer for all our CREATE podcast listeners!

In yoga, have you ever noticed sometimes you can get INTO the pose easily, but it’s hard to STAY in the pose? You start to get shaky. Your muscles ache. You notice sweat dripping down your face. Sometimes the last thing you want to do is HOLD that fricking pose any longer! But recently our friend quoted her teacher, saying that “it's when you hold the pose that you build strength.” That’s right — it's the challenge that teaches us a deeper stability. Well, this week we talk about “holding the pose” in life. When things get shaky, when do we want to drop our arms and give up? Do we get reluctant to breathe deeper and go within? When we want to give up, what might holding the pose teach us?

This week we are talking about the ego and suffering!!! Doesn’t that sound like a good time!?!? But we talk about it in terms of dismantling these old identities, because there is something NEW that wants to be birthed.  What becomes exciting is that under the old identity structures that are being broken apart, there is a calling to remember we are all connected. We talk about listening for the movement, the expression, the calling, that wants to come to the planet through you.

This week we got to hear the story of Rae Ireland — an internationally touring musician and dancer and speaker. She has an incredible story of how her path unfolded and how she came to re-claim her own artistic expression. Now she helps transformational leaders, entrepreneurs, healers, and artists align with their soul’s work. You can discover more about her at https://raeirelan.com/

Have you ever felt like there is too much drama in your life? Too much stress? Too many things clamoring for your attention and asking that they be fixed RIGHT NOW!?! Or ELSE!?!? Well, we have the funniest story that Life demonstrated to us about what ISN’T drama! Maybe there is another zone going on — one of peace and ease — that the Universe wants us to move into.
