  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 4/12/20

    Happy Day to you, whatever you may be celebrating! Today I share a little family snapshot of our Easter mornings and candy with a side story about my one and only Seder meal. Then explore the theme of renewed life and rising up as relates to where we are in this junction space between old and new paradigms. And I share a chant I've been using to sustain my capacity for action and optimism. MAY IT BE OF BENEFIT!

    Today's human question is around zit stickers and then I dive right into an exploration of Negativity Bias - why we do it and how profoundly depleting and upsetting it can be. My suspicion is that we're all likely doing it right now, riding the Negativity Bias Flume Ride. Then I give 4 steps to work with it when you witness it happening inside you. Then I give (late) hugs and, of course, we sit in the spirit of KNOW THYSELF so we can be more intentional. May it be of benefit!

    Today I get your 2 cents on whether to shave my head, we talk about staying awake and sustainable actions to do that, we're graced by Pema Chodron's teachings on staying in the middle of nowhere to cultivate tenderness and compassion and I ask your advice on slowing my roll with the release of classes at ginayoga.com. Then, of course, we have our neighborhood sit (meditation), a journey through the koshas. May it be of benefit!

    After I go a little bit cookoo at the beginning of our stoop sit and share my new t-shirt, I tell the super quick, Ginafied version of the Ramayana with emphasis on Hanuman and why he is an interesting role model for the times we find ourselves in. I incorrectly name a translation author, not Eknath Easwaran, who is AWESOME, but RK Narayan. (Another interesting version I have liked is "Arrow Of The Blue Skinned God" by Jonah Blank). YOU CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! And then, of course, we sit and observe our wholeness from skin to soul. May it be of benefit!

    It's Taco Tuesday and I wanted to Tacobout the fact that you've already done what we might have labeled impossible. And I share how I make it through a morning run and how that feels like exactly what we're doing to make it through this challenge stronger and wiser than before. And of course, we sit with our whole selves, together. May it be of benefit!

    I come clean about my neighborHOODIE collection with this one that embarrasses me. And talk about how the ways we have fed our "identity" on the level of manomaya kosha may be causing you to suffer right now and hinder your ability to track how you're really feeling and how best to use your resources of the moment. And we go into our koshas sit to remember our whole selves and not just our identities. The Guru is the Self! May it be of benefit!

    Super Soul Sunday! Today I read a quote from Sally Kempton on Loneliness and read the stunningly gorgeous and timely poem The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. I read it years ago but it has never meant more than it means to me right now when we're co-creating a new paradigm through which we see each other and connect. And of course, our daily koshas sit where we commit to the power of awareness and recognizing our wholeness. May it be of benefit!

  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 4/4/20

    Today I offer an invitation to explore 1) What changes/commitments/rituals/practices have BEEN WORKING for you over the last 3 weeks and 2) What changes/commitments/rituals/practices have NOT BEEN WORKING for you over the last 3 weeks. Its a great time for a check in and an acknowledgement that we're writing this playbook as we go and letting go of something that isn't working is NOT failure. In the second 3rd of our stoop sesh, I open it up for Q&A and get a wide range of fabulous questions. In the final 3rd, of course, we sit together for our koshas meditation. You've got this. May it be of benefit!

  • It's A Workable Day In The Neighborhood - 4/3/20

    Today I'm moved to tears of joy at witnessing the support and love from others who are in equally dire straits. I share a story from the anthropologist Margaret Mead about what the first signs of civilization are in a culture and how we now have the opportunity to be the most civil we've ever been. It's stunningly beautiful. And then we sit together in meditation on the virtual stoop. Loving you all so much. May it be of benefit.

About Stoop Sits

From the publisher's feed

At the start of the quarantine and shelter in place orders during the COVID19 pandemic, I decided to create a virtual neighborhood stoop on which come together, talk about how we feel, apply some yogic wisdom and do a daily guided meditation.
