What happens in the last fifteen minutes of a one-hour infrared sauna session?

Crazy town!

Your heart rate rises, it's hard to breathe, and you suddenly feel like there's no way you're going to make it out alive.

I recently visited my soul-sister Vanessa in Portland, OR, and we obsessed over the opportunity for practice in the last fifteen minutes of an uninterrupted sixty minute session.

Take it to a macro level in your life, and ask yourself what you do when the fire and heat rises in your life.

I'll discuss two strategies of focus for you you to access when the heat and discomfort rises in a situation. And a sauna!

I read David Whyte's beautiful poem 'My Daughter Asleep.'

I reference two episodes of Alexander IGTV in this episode. You can find them here:

Are you choosing ONE WORD for the New Year?

Will you be collecting intentions on a VISION BOARD? Do you prefer the power of pen-to-paper in setting goals?

Are you participating in @marieforleo’s #MFDecadeInReview?

What’s your ritual this year? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below. 👁

I recently found a suggestion from John O’Donahue—“what if we were to write a prayer big enough to carry our wild soul across the planet for the rest of our lives?”

We could take our time and find the prose (prayer), then memorize it, and whisper, shout, and sing it as we explore the Earth.

It's my AA Birthday today: September 24, 2019! Four years sober. At first, recovery was about saving my life, and taking stewardship over the soul I had been entrusted with. Over the years my uncovering (or uncovery) has become an offering to others. It is possible to find freedom from your addictions. Even recovery is #Figureoutable Marie Forleo!
