AHHHH what you and your belly really need right now...
|
Hiya Reader! Take a moment and relax your belly. Yes, your belly…that beautiful space from your ribs to your pubic bone. I know I just said some anatomy words but just go with me for a moment. My teacher is taking me on our “Sacred Belly Sadhana” this month. (*Sadhana = practice in Sanskrit /yoga language) It gives me pause to think about my core. Often when you think of core, you think of strength+stability more so than flexiblity+mobility and just plain relaxing your belly. Now take an “AHHH” sound when you exhale and settle into yourself a bit more. Take a moment or two or three now OR after you read this and INHALE deep into your relaxed belly (Extra juicy if you put your hands on your belly and feel that) AND let go of: Cultural conditions that you have to hold in your belly ALL. THE.TIME. And also the idea that you have to hold EVERYTHING together ALL the damn time as well. Reflection time using nature and our bodies… There is no: Inhale without the exhale Sun without the moon Spring buds without the fall leaves And within you: Internal growth without releasing and dissolving what does not serve you New thoughts and projects after you let go of old ideas that you are not passionate about Getting strong while also being flexible, mobile, and soft So, yes, Reader, you’ve got this! Try walking around with a relaxed belly today. Enjoy that. Your body, mind, and soul - and also your digestion! Will thank you! Sending love all ways! Keep shining your light!

Hi hi Reader - As some of you know, Heroic and the community there has been a part of my life for awhile now. I have been through their mastery, coaching, and workshop instructor trainings and really am grateful how all the wisdom has helped me change my life. Michael, the head coach of Heroic, recently hosted a beautiful (and thankfully short ~35 min!) webinar. Topic: Stop Starting, Start Finishing. It’s on taking ONE idea / project / task / whatever and designing a way to finish it… The...
Hi hi Reader! A toolbox is something you go to when you need something for a certain type of task or adventure! So what are somatic self regulation practices? If you take each of these definitions and put them together… Somatic: of the body Self-regulation = a way you balance your body / mind / spirit Practice = something you do often A somatic self-regulation practice would be something you do with your physical body in order to balance your body, mind, heart, soul. These practices are...
It’s the breath! Hi hi Reader! Throughout some of my day I am doing and being on autopilot - the “needs doing” parts of life. When I can stop and attend to my breath - even just for 1-2 cycles…it grounds me back into my physical body and also gives me clarity, calm, and focus. I would say most transitions with my boys are a bit hectic (with still the question of if Gordie has any shoes on when we leave the house😆). I have made a new practice of getting into my car and setting my hand on my...
