Here's why I've been MIA.

Signing on to sign off my friends!  Thank you so much to my listeners, especially those who reached out to let me know that it resonated <3

If I can impact just one person, bring a little more peace into someone's day, help someone shift their perspective in a way that benefits their mind and spirit... then I feel deeply content.

What's the f*@king point?!?!

When you see someone's strength of character... someone's unwavering ability to NOT be their reactions...

That's when you remember your why. 

This is a somber episode. 

I feel that the only power I have is to help raise awareness. To share our ugly history.

Disgust is one of our basic emotions. In this episode, we look at how and why it contributes to prejudice, ethnocentrism, and xenophobia.

Since I have yet to find them, I don’t own ‘em.

When we’re not clear on what it is that we want, we find ourselves saying yes to things just because they’re there. But things don’t quite feel right….

So how to do we live with a bit more intention? And why?

Because I truly believe that answering these questions makes our experience here more fulfilling and allows us to better serve others because we ourselves feel fulfilled.

How the language we grew up speaking affects the way we interpret sounds in nature, sounds of objects (clock), and human sounds (achoo!).

I'm proud of myself for doing this. I'm proud of myself for being real and being vulnerable.

I'm proud of myself for being strong even when I didn't want to be. 

I'm proud of myself for my desire to teach, which enables me to forever be a student...

of the mind ;)

Emotional intelligence in dealing with loss involves allowing yourself to FEEL. The mind will try to deal intellectually with emotions and will always fall short... because emotions don't occur in the mind. And emotions will not be released in the mind. 

Here's a great infographic on the stages of grief. 

A more in depth, psychological analysis of the stages of grief that I referenced can be found here. 

Acknowledge negative thoughts and emotions that are present, but also acknowledge that you’re willing to let them go. Two truths can exist without negating each other.

Ani Trime’s Little Book of Affirmations has a been a great guide for me in starting to practice mantra meditation, I recommend it!

Ugh, how very vulnerable I feel sharing my shit sometimes. 

It'd be easier if I just shared lists with y'all like, "5 ways to practice meditation!" or "3 different pranayama (breath) practices to help ease anxiety!" But there's lots of that out there. 

What I hope to offer is raw and real. It's the bull shit mind battles that we all go through whether we acknowledge 'em, are aware of 'em, or speak about 'em- most of the time, we call all relate. As long as we 're wiling to carve away the layers that conceal our humanness.  

The book Living Your Yoga by Judith Hanson Lasater is absolute GOLD and I recommend it with my whole heart. It's a more elegant, more wise version of this podcast... it's understanding how to practice in the very messiness of your REAL ASS LIFE.
