This amethyst biomat is magical!! It combines the healing power of far infrared heat + negative ions + the energy of amethyst (see those gorgeous crystals in there?!). I’ve had this mat for over 5 years and I adore it...especially in the fall and winter! Its especially great for deep relaxation and detoxification. And Ill be offering free healing sessions on it at my Equinox event this Sunday! Come get one!! Event details and registration in my bio. #moonandmeditationwomenscircle #biomat #autumnequinox

Even though I’m an introvert and need plenty of alone time, I also crave deep connection and community on a regular basis. That’s why I lead a monthly virtual #moonandmeditationwomenscircle ritual. And why I 💕💕 collaborating with other wellness practitioners to host meditation and self-care events at my home seasonally✨✨ This Sunday I’m collabing with the lovely @holisticwellnessyogi for a very special and intimate Autumn Equinox Gathering! We’ll have a full moon ritual, meditation, healing amethyst biomat sessions, snacks and cider, and a yin yoga class! And special shoutout to @babesinbusinessnj for helping make this collab possible! If you’re free and want some self-care and connection, join us!! {registration in bio} 📷 @srsphotography #njevents #meditation #equinox #fullmoonritual #yinyoga

Come celebrate the Autumn Equinox and honor our shift into the darker half of the year with us! ☯️🙏🌕🍁🔥🖤
EQUINOXES are a powerful reminder of the cyclical nature of life (around us and within us). The Fall Equinox marks a moment on the wheel of the year, when the dark of night and light of day are equal in length. Yin and yang energies are in perfect balance for one harmonious moment….before the yin energy grows stronger (and continues to do so until the Winter Solstice in December). In other words…winter is coming!!

“{When it comes to creating a new habit} your odds of success go up dramatically when you commit to changing as part of a group...a communal experience...even if that community is only as large as two people.” Charles Duhigg
.
If you have no one to talk to about your meditation struggles, or celebrate wins with, or stay accountable to, it may start to feel lonely and difficult to keep motivating yourself when doubts or struggles arise in your practice.
.
On the other hand, if you have at least one person who is as equally motivated and determined as you, to share the journey with- get accountability, talk through difficulties, to get re-inspired when you need to- you'll feel so much better, and your chances of successfully creating and maintaining a new meditation habit will drastically increase.

When you’re starting something new, get a buddy, a teacher, or find a community to help support you!

The only person you should be comparing yourself to, is the past you.

When you’re trying to build a new habit, it’s so easy to get stuck beating yourself up for your perceived failures rather shifting your mindset to celebrate what went well. Maybe you didn’t meditate 7 days your first week, but even if you did it once, that’s one more time than last week, right?! Constantly Beating yourself up over what you didn’t do well, can lead to self-sabotage and a defeatist mindset. Where as Gratitude and celebrating wins will get you excited and motivated to try better next week! Whether it’s in your meditation practice, or anywhere else in your life! #meditatewitheasechallenge #gratitudepractice

“If it’s not scheduled, it’s not real.” Marie Forleo. Here’s a powerful tip when you’re just starting out with your meditation practice. Choose a time, and write it into your daily schedule ✏️ #meditatewitheasechallenge

It’s so important to schedule in fun!! I’m in the the middle of launching a new meditation program and there’s a lot of work that goes along with it!! But I’ve had #brewsandlatindancemoves in my schedule for weeks. So even though this week was insanely busy, I was able to plan accordingly to make time for it. And boy did I need it! My face still hurts from smiling so much 😁😬😂 thanks for hosting this @caitmahon and I can’t wait for the next one 🙌🙌 #danceisgoodforthesoul 💃🏻💃🏻

Feels good to be called back to my morning reflection practice✨✨ #meditatewitheasechallenge #oracles #morningguidance

ALL obstacles that come up before or during meditation are opportunities to strengthen your practice, period! We often see obstacles that arise around our practice as blocks or nuisances to the practice. But in fact, those obstacles ARE THE PRACTICE. If you didn't have any obstacles, you wouldn't need to practice 😊And the more you can overcome them on the cushion, the more you'll be able to do so off the cushion (in everyday life). Today in the challenge we talk about common obstacles to meditation. And I share a meditation to help you deal with your rogue thoughts✨ #meditatewitheasechallenge {link in bio}
