Open Hearts, Off the Mat episodes

  • Episode 6: Energy and Relationships
    Every human interaction is an exchange of energy, whether you realize it as such or not. When we begin to understand this, we can be more mindful about how our energy flows to and from other humans. We dive into protecting our own energy, recognizing when we might be impacting others vibration, and start to scrape the surface of vulnerability (oooooh, such a big juicy topic). From romantic relationships, to parenting, to interactions with strangers and everything in between. As we deepen our understanding of this, we can begin to raise our own vibration and therefore the vibration and frequency of those around us.

  • Episode 5: The Energetic Experience
    Continuing on the topic of energy (our favourite), we begin to explore how to begin to recognize and acknowledge our own unique energy cycles, and patterns. We discuss our experience in learning to recognize when our energy is not flowing, and to honour our nature and understand that nothing in nature blooms constantly (including humans). From here have the opportunity to get honest with ourselves about what increases our vibration, and what takes away from it. Once we start to understand this on an energetic level, we can really start to change our lives. Change your energy, change your life.
    Tune is as we share our own experiences with the ebb and flow of energy.

  • Episode 4: Everything is Energy
    Everything is energy, and that is just science. But how many of us know how to mindfully connect with and shift our energy. 
    In episode #4 we start to dip our toe into this huge topic. We chat about energy and how is affects everything in our lives. How our beliefs, thoughts, and behaviours impact our energy and therefore our experiences. And we share some fun little stories about our children, and how they seem to understand the energetic world more deeply than most adults. We are so attached to the physical, we want to feel, touch and comprehend everything. When we begin to work with our energy, there is a huge element of trust and surrender.

  • Episode 3: Continuing to Explore Purpose
    Today we continue our conversation from Episode #2; Should vs Must, and begin to explore how to connect with your Dharma
    We share some of our practices, and how we explore the idea of Dharma or purpose in our every day lives.
    The hardest part is getting quiet/still enough to turn inward, and then to be brave enough to follow those little whispers from within. We believe it is life long work, and a continuous practice. But our biggest take away from this episode, is give yourself permission to change. Give yourself permission to explore, and change paths if you're feeling called to do so.

  • Episode 2: Should vs Must, Exploring Dharma
    In this episode we are diving right in; Should vs Must. Today we explore the big, juicy topic of Dharma, or life purpose.
    How many are living their lives based on others expectations, societies expectations? And how many are living a life aligned with themselves, and their deeper purpose? 
    We set off on a life path, perhaps thinking we know what we are doing, but how often do you give yourself the permission to pause and evaluate if that is actually the direction you want to continue on? We encourage you to explore those inner whispers, to go against the grain, to change your mind, to change your life. Dream big, choose an aligned life, and give yourself permission to change.
