I created a meditation for those of you who are on your healing journey. There are so many triggers that can come up when you have more awareness, and the key is to not suppress them but to be with them. To give it space, to give it room to breathe, to give it room to be seen and heard. This meditation will support grounding you in this moment and support you with relaxing.

If it doesn't feel safe for you to be with what's coming up, please revisit when you're ready.

In this episode, I vulnerably share my truth and my story about domestic violence. It all started with a writing workshop I attended and the journaling prompt that led me to the shadow of my childhood that was ready to be healed. I went from questioning, why me? To have deep compassion and empathy for the person who abused me.

How? The answer is simple, yoga. Through yoga, I have changed my perspective and healed myself in more ways than one. Join me in this short and powerful podcast, where we explore my shadow, and I share the life-changing tips that have helped me heal on my journey.

I was so conditioned to think that going all in into my business was what she was meant to do, I thought that was my Dharma (my life's purpose). For four years, I sacrificed so much and put my sweat and tears into my business, but it left me feeling lost, confused, and uncertain. I was offered a job and everything looked great, but she was scared to take it because of my past toxic jobs. Talk about major PTSD. And I was nervous because it wasn't really in alignment with what I thought I should be doing which was yoga and meditation.  So I did what any other normal person would do, I went to an OM chanting circle and met a Monk who changes my life. Listen to my story as I break down the lessons I learned that night.

This meditation was inspired by the first podcast where Jasmin discussed the second sutra. "The restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff is Yoga". She will guide you to honor the discontent that you feel in your life, so you can let go and step into who you truly are. With the stillness that you create, she will guide you to tap into your heart's wisdom to gain clarity on what your next steps are when it comes to releasing and letting go.

Can you accept where you are? Can you accept that the relationship has served a purpose? Can you accept that the job is no longer in alignment with who you are becoming? In this podcast, Jasmin goes over the "Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" Covering the second sutra "Yogas Citta Vrtti Nirodhah" translating to "the restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff is Yoga". Jasmin walks through her interpretation of this and how she has already applied it to her own life.
