The Universe….the dictionary gives it this definition “all existing matter and space considered as a whole”. I love this definition and I love that it happens for me and I am sure for many of you as well. It’s the idea of everything as a whole coming together to help support you. You want toContinue reading “The Universe”

Svādhyāya is a compound Sanskrit word composed of sva (स्व) + adhyāya (अध्याय). Adhyāya means “a lesson, lecture, chapter; reading”. Svā means “own, one’s own, self, the human soul”.  Therefore, Svādhyāya literally means “one’s own reading, lesson”. I have been moving through a lot of “self study” lately and the universe has put this word in front of me soContinue reading “Svādhyāya – Self Study”

A dear friend and colleague made this for me. I love the idea that you can grow your mind. How, you may ask? Well, by spending time learning from others and from yourself. Spend time reading, learning something, doing a daily Practice, studying Yoga, because for me it’s all about Yoga. Yoga has been suchContinue reading “Let Your Mind Grow….”

Acceptance and Patience are quite different for all of us. Recently in our Saṃgha Offerings we spoke about this very thing. And while Acceptance and Patience takes on many lenses, such as death, aging, and how we interact with our loved ones, I have come to these thoughts. I still miss Mabel very much, theContinue reading “Acceptance & Patience”

We had to say goodbye to our sweet little Mabel. She warmed everyone’s heart and was always happy and just looking into her eyes was like looking into the soul of a person. She was with me anytime I was teaching online, students tell me they miss her gentle snores that were so comforting. ItContinue reading “Letting Go & Choice…”

I took this picture in India, a place where Ayurveda is alive and is part of everyone’s life. I was surrounded by this ancient knowledge and have a full respect for this Practice. I knew then and there I wanted to go deeper.  In the last year I have finished my certification to be anContinue reading “Ayurveda For A Heart Centered Life”

Those of you who know me are aware that 1). I do not like having my picture taken. I had a student the other day say “hey I think we took that training together, I will have to go back and look at the pictures.” I told her I am always hiding or finding aContinue reading “The Thick Life”

We each spent many months in our mother’s womb listening to her heartbeat, a steady rhythm… lub, dub… lub, dub… lub, dub. This natural beat is entrained into our nervous system and can be tapped into once again. Drums have been used in every culture for many purposes from religious rituals and other ceremonies, toContinue reading “Shamanic Drum Journey”

Community… this is how I grew up, can you guess which one is me? I grew up on a farm surrounded by lots of family. Fast forward to 2020 and we go into lockdown, no social interaction or any kind for 2 solid years, even more for some. Then blast into 2022 April to SeptemberContinue reading “Community…”

Dear Ones… I cannot believe that it is December!! Being away for 6 months really makes the year short. For many reasons this is my favorite time of the year. Mostly for the idea that I can begin again, shake off the old and bring in the new. It was not until recently that IContinue reading “Happy Holidays!”
