Still processing everything from yesterday’s #yourlifeunleashed event with @tara_romano! But between the amazing women I got to connect with and all the deep insights that have been bubbling up from the presenters and activities, I can say that this was event was fu🌙king awesome! I’m so excited that we have a local event like this that will now be happening annually (or at least next year!). She’s got a pretty sweet deal on tickets for next year, and I recommend grabbing one now. Also, check out this cute shirt I brought home to remind me of all the breakthroughs I had yesterday 😊💕💕 #bathroomselfie #feelingmyself

Some wise words here by one of my meditation teachers. #Repost @ethannichtern .

Studying a bit of evolutionary biology and neuroscience in relationship to Buddhist psychology has been so clarifying. Honestly can’t repeat this insight enough. Or as I put it in The Road Home: “Inhabiting a human nervous system is kind of like living in a house where the doorbell and the burglar alarm make exactly the same sound.” Sing this one from the rooftops.

As I navigate through a change in my life, I am being reminded of how truly sacred, powerful, and yet delicate the time of a TRANSITION is. .
.
Do you honor times of transition in your life? That space when one thing ends (or is ending) and something new has yet to fully take shape? Or do you sense an ending and desperately seek something new to fill the void-scared of sitting with that spaciousness...the unknown? .
.
This morning I woke up contemplating this beautiful and sacred time of transition. And I want to remind anyone experiencing a transition in your life now, that this is a very powerful time for healing and personal evolution. .
.
There’s a saying “hindsight is 20/20”.
Once something in your life comes to an end, there is this beautiful opportunity to look back with a birds eye view and see what went right, what went wrong, and what you would want to do differently in the future.
.
.
Without this period of pause, reflection, and healing, BEFORE diving into something new, you will likely just attract the same situation and repeat the same patterns, over and over again...wondering why you keep ending up, in the same unfulfilling relationship, job, etc.
.
.
This time of Spring is a very common time to find yourself in the midst of a major transition. Anyone else in the middle of one now? How are you feeling in this space? Scared? Anxious? Excited? Impatient? A little bit of each? 🙋🏻‍♀️😊
.
.
I find doing regular I Ching readings for myself during a time of transition brings me crystal clarity and a sense of deep peace and acceptance during the potentially difficult and confusing time between an ending and new beginning. And keeps me from just repeating the same old patterns the next time around. If you need some help navigating your own transition with grace, DM me and let’s do an I Ching Session! #ichingforchange #hindsightis2020

What’s your process for goal setting each month? For me, I always start on the New Moon by allowing myself to simply dream into and visualize what it is my soul wants to create. I do this without putting any limits on myself...as if anything was possible! .
Then for the next few days of the waxing crescent 🌙 moon, I begin to focus my intentions and goals for the month. And during this process I get clear on the person I need to become in order to create those goals and desires (and also what I need to shed, that’s keeping me from growing).
.
And from that, I like to create a simple statement to keep me on track with the changes I need to make that month. This is my statement this month😊✨ when I repeat it to myself it feels so freeing, and so I know it’s perfectly aligned for me right now🙌. Do you also incorporate meditation or other spiritual practices into your goal setting rituals? Or do you have another process you love?! Share with me below! #newmoonvibes #meditationfortransformation

New Moon blessings 🌑 While the Spring Equinox (a couple weeks ago) brought an energy of “New Beginnings”, this first New Moon of Spring amplifies that “new beginning” energy even more. Many ancient traditions even celebrated the New Year with the first New Moon after the Spring Equinox! Either way, the potential energy to plant seeds of new ideas is strong right now! So be sure to carve out time to meditate and visualize what your soul is craving to create right now✨✨ And if you’re not sure, an I Ching Clarity Reading will help!! DM me for more info #ichingforchange #meditationfortransformation #consciouscreation #newmoonvibes

During a Meditation Jumpstart Session, I always ask clients, What’s your Why?...What benefits do you want to get from your meditation practice, and why is having them so freakin important to you?!...How will having that peace, mental calm, emotional resilience, clarity and direction, etc. impact your family, work, health, finances, etc?...What would having these benefits truly make possible for you?!
.
.
I’ve found that staying connected to a strong WHY is key to maintaining a consistent meditation practice (or any new routine for that matter), once the initial excitement and novelty wear off.
.
.
So if you’re starting a new meditation practice or anything new, ask yourself why it’s so important you make that practice a priority and how it will impact your life in the long run. And anytime you’re tempted to skip that practice, take a moment to reconnect to that WHY. I’ve been using this trick to get my ass to the gym these past 2 weeks and it’s been working beautifully!! 😂Before I did this, I had been meaning to go since I signed up for a 5k and joined the gym 2 months ago 🙈
.
.
This is just one of the 7 tips I share and walk my Meditation Jumpstart clients through! There are still a couple free Meditation Jumpstart Sessions left for the week. Next week these go back to their regular price. So grab one in my bio now if you need some help (re)starting your practice🙌✨✨ #meditationfortransformation #anyonecanmeditate .

A great reminder that we are not just our minds or bodies. Meditation has taught me that thoughts and emotions are simply like guests. They will come and go, they may have some impact on us mentally and physically, but they need not define or control us. And as good hosts, it’s our duty to at least acknowledge our “guests” (thoughts and emotions), but ultimately it’s up to us which ones we invite to stay for tea and which ones we will kindly ask to leave 😊 I know this isn’t always easy in practice, but with consistent meditation learning how to skillfully work with your thoughts and emotions (and not be consumed by them) will get easier! .
Thanks for this 📷 @cannabisforbreakfast ❤️❤️ #meditationfortransformation #anyonecanmeditate

Just finished two Meditation Jumpstart Sessions! What a fun way to start the week 😊 I’ve got a few more FREE sessions to gift this week! So if you want one head to my bio to book it before they’re gone. I’ve been working with both seasoned meditators and newbies, and both walk away with the exact next step or guidance they need in their practices (or lives!). It’s pretty amazing what can happen with an intention and someone to hold space for that intention for 30 minutes! Things we’ve been doing in these sessions are meditate together, visualize dreams, pull oracle cards, create a meditation plan, set-up an accountability plan, and more. 🙌🙌✨ #meditationfortransformation #anyonecanmeditate
