Whether on or off your mat, this guided meditation expands upon the words Breathe, Surrender, Breathe, Surrender. Words I have offered to inspire and guide you, while thinking, feeling, and moving through a roadblock moment.

To dive deeper into this concept listen to the previous episode, "Every Seeming Roadblock."

In this episode I explore the concept and phrase that, "Every seeming roadblock, is just an opportunity." By exploring and tuning myself to the lesson within this phrase I’ve begun to live into the gift that comes from exploring roadblocks as opportunities. As an invitation to open us deeper, into expansion, insight, and growth. An invitation into the endless possibilities, strategies, or solutions available to me when I choose to see with clarity what is before me.

“I am learning to love no matter what.” This simple phrase has the power to open and reprogram the mind to loving and living in a way that is unconditional. To love no matter what, is saying to the Self I don’t need you to be different in order for me to love you. It is saying to your partner or child, I don’t need you to be different, in order for me to love you. It is opening to situations as they are and learning to love whatever state of becoming they are in. Because its all any of this is, a constant state of becoming. Its never done. Things are always changing, we are always changing, life and circumstances are temporary, and we are always on our way to new and different and more.

In this week's episode I explore the two words "Any Amount," both on and off my yoga mat. They are so beautiful in the way that they are not asking too much of us or pushing us, they are just inviting us into creating our experience in a kind and soothing way. They remind me that wherever I am is enough, that choosing, going, stretching, strengthening, moving, relaxing, and showing up “any amount” will serve me. Because choosing “any amount,” will guaranteed, one hundred percent of the time, always serve me more than choosing no amount at all.

These two words are the difference between forking down a negative thought stream or a positive thought stream. They can gently lead us in the direction we intend for ourselves, guiding us forward.

On my mat this week I focused on each movement being fully supported by the breath. It was my intention to make sure that every single asana was born out of the breath. I started to visualize my breathe as the instigator, the driving force, the inspiration for each movement. My movements began to feel like they were flowing out, pouring forth, supported, rooted, and sustainable. In the same way that by just breathing first and then moving we can learn to fully support and enjoy our bodies, our flow, and our practice on the mat, we can also learn how to do this off the mat! Before we move through each task or interaction we can first breathe in thoughts and feelings that feel good! Feeling good first and then working, creating, interacting, parenting. The actions in our day can begin to flow from a knowing of infinite well-being, joy, and love.
