17:23

It's time to get back into a routine. The body works in patterns and habits, so when it's spent some time being out of sorts because of schedule changes or downtime, as has been the case for me a lot recently with winter break and an obnoxious number of snow days, how do you return to the sense of normalcy or routine that keeps you thriving?

28:27

In an effort to clarify how I view the connection between Christianity and manifestation, from my current state of consciousness, and that I didn't share in the last episode, I riff about what it means to be Christian and believe in the power of manifestation.

10M ago26:19

26:19

When your Inner Critic stops by and brings along resentment for the ride, everyone around you, including yourself, might want to run for the hills.

1y ago25:22

25:22

Yoga is often called exercise by those wanting to be able to move more freely or those wanting to lengthen their muscles while still building strength without getting bulky, and although those may be by-products of yoga, they do not constitute this ancient spiritual practice being placed in the same context as traditional exercise.

You've heard me talk about setting intentions as a key step in being able to flow with life, but what does that actually look like and why does it even matter?

#75: Gratitude, the Practice of Being "Blessed" 21:22

1y ago21:22

21:22

Blessed can be a sign that you hang on your wall, but isn't really thought of as much more than a decoration for others to see. But what would your life look like if you actually were putting that sign into action?

1y ago24:04

24:04

Habits and rituals, two seemingly different words, but really tied very closely together, one just holds a little more power than the other. The word "ritual" can make some people cringe.

1y ago23:37

23:37

Playing it safe means you aren't finding that edge in life that makes you the best version of yourself. But if adding one more thing to your list to take action on or try harder at seems overwhelming, rest assured, finding your edge doesn't always mean you have to do more. This episode is a continuation of last week's episode in which I discussed w…

19:47

Unconditional love means that we treat others, how we would want to be treated, not how we deserve to be treated, but how we would want to be treated. Yet, so often we unconsciously place expectations, limits, or conditions as you might call them on how we love others or how we treat others, including ourselves. Unconditional love towards yourself …

I have a natural tendency to turn away from myself when life gets crazy around me. You might too...it's completely another way of numbing or checking out so we don't have to really feel anything. In times of stress or chaos, we revert back to our natural training, to what we can do on auto-pilot, and if you're like me, that means you're likely not …

Work and Rest, two necessary phases of everything we do in life. Yet, in today's world, we often get stuck in the work mode, thinking that's the only way to productivity. But yoga teaches otherwise.

Flowing with life doesn't just mean just moving in a straight line - it means moving WITH the ups and downs. Adapting. Allowing. Even when it feels icky and uncomfortable.

There's this thought out there that the word spiritual equals religion. That if someone says: Oh, she's really "spiritual," that it means she's devoted to Christ or that she's religious in some way.
