No complicated routines.

🍁3 Autumn Tips🧣

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

For me, Autumn has always carried with it an air of nostalgia. Once the leaves start turning and the air feels crisp, memories start to surface. Smells of pumpkin, apples, and cinnamon come alive and I’m reminded of so many yummy things — my Grandma’s pumpkin roll, apple butter, and warm toasted nuts, among others. 

It’s good to know that so many of the things we crave at certain times of year are actually your body’s way of telling you what it needs! Winter squash, pumpkins, root vegetables, more pungent spices, nuts, and hot teas are all good things to be incorporating right now to counter the cold, dry qualities that come naturally in fall and winter (depending on where you live). 

Here are 3 tips for living in a healthy way this Autumn…

1) Prioritize a mid-day meal!
In other words — don’t skip lunch! If you’re looking for a good meal to take to work, I recommend this One-Pot Kitchari. It’s EASY and quick and works well in a thermos.
2) Drink warm water instead of cold.
Fill up an insulated water bottle with warm-to-hot water and sip at least 2 ounces every 15-30 minutes. Warm water hydrates your cells better!
3) Go to bed early.
This time of year the daylight keeps dwindling until we get to the winter solstice (the shortest day and longest night of the year). Your body’s biology is being called to take more time for rest. Earlier sleep will pay you back in many ways – you’ll feel more rested when you wake, and your body will do more natural detoxification while you sleep if you go to bed before 10 pm. 

I hope these tips are helpful! If you’re curious about what I’ve been up to lately, check out this post on Facebook (or on Instagram).

🍎 I made my first apple pie a couple of weeks agoand I’m about to attempt a batch of apple butter for the first time — wish me luck!

In a funk?

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

I know you know what it’s like to be in a funk – to feel stuck in an emotional/mental state that is uncomfortable and unwanted, but feeling helpless.

You want to feel better but don’t know what to do to get there OR – you know what might help, but you have no motivation to take the steps.

Maybe you even feel undeserving of feeling good. 

Have you been there? We’ve all been there! A better question is…

HOW can you shift out of a funk?

There are many methods to shifting states, and it might take something different each time, but these are my top 3 tips for getting unstuck:

1) stop avoiding. sit or lie down, and just feel the way you feel. hold yourself sweetly the way you would comfort a loved one and give yourself permission to just feel however you feel. 

*note – be careful not to mix up thoughts and feelings! when you’re down, feelings can color your thoughts so don’t believe the negative thoughts that go through your mind during times like this.

2) move your body! dance to a favorite song, go for a walk, or just do some jumping jacks. moving will shift your physiology which will shift your mood.

3) call on God! pray/talk to the Divine. you don’t have to hold the burdens of life alone.

A little help…

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

If I asked you how you’re doing today, would you answer honestly, or give me the typical “I’m fine”?

If a friend asked if you need help with today, would you answer with a “no thanks, I’ve got it”?

Like most people, chances are you’d assert that you’re fine and don’t need anything, because we’re taught to make the best of things (which is a perfectly good quality) — but…sometimes we do need help.

We all need a little help sometimes.
Life has struggles. That’s just the truth.

Sometimes we feel stretched to the max with our current circumstances – either physically, emotionally, or both.

Although it often feels easier to just keep plugging away, ignoring the overwhelm, or the pain, consistently living under pressure/stress is a major source of dis-ease and for someone who already has a condition, those issues become more and more complicated (harder to solve) with time.

Let’s just be honest. Instead of making it harder for ourselves, acknowledge the hurt/ pressure/ dis-ease, ask for help, and accept it when someone offers.

Did you know…

If you put on your critical thinking cap…
the numbers just don’t add up.

The fact is…your body is WISE and has an innate ability to HEAL, however, this is in direct opposition to the mainstream narrative around health and healing, which would have you believe that you know nothing in regard to your own body/mind and that it’s crucial to your survival to give your autonomy over to those that ‘know better’, a.k.a. the medical system.

I believe that we are all born with the Divine right of Sovereignty.  

The reason most people aren’t empowered by their own autonomy is that most of us have been told what and how to do everything since early childhood. We’ve literally been told when, what, where, who, and how to talk, play, learn, eat, pee, live, work, love, be with, and have sex.

We’ve been taught to push down our intuition, desires, deepest sense of self, inner guidance system, and even our involuntary bodily functions. We were told that this would make us more productive, successful, desirable even, but we’ve been lied to and stripped of our connection to the deepest, most authentic parts of ourselves and robbed of the Divine Right of our Sovereignty. 

To become EMPOWERED, all it takes is the desire to know the truth and the courage to step off the merry-go-round at the mainstream clown show and connect with your inner wisdom.

Here are a few slides from the Introductory Workshop for my Empowered Wellness for Every Woman Workshop Series…

In the short video below I talk about WHY HOLISTIC HEALTH is the only way to true health and healing.

The Wisdom of Your Body + Soul

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,

How connected are you to your Intuition?…Your Soul?…The Wisdom of your Body?

Over the past two decades of practice in the wellness industry, I’ve witnessed that many people have very little awareness of the intelligence of their bodies, their deepest Self (the Soul), or their own inner compass.

As a modern-day HUMAN, it’s actually quite a feat to stay connected to what matters in our over-scheduled, over-technological lives, especially when we didn’t grow up with the tools that could help us. And they aren’t teaching this stuff in school (YET)!

Did you know that your body communicates with you?

According to Ayurveda (Yoga’s sister science, and the world’s oldest documented holistic healing system), our bodies are innately intelligent. And according to modern science on fascia (the connective tissue that holds your body together), our bodies are communicating with us constantly. But in order to hear what’s being shared, we have to slow down and LISTEN, and so often we suppress signals we get in order to keep working away at a task.

How often to you stop “doing” and pause to listen?

Try it now.

EMBODIMENT PRACTICE:

Take a pause, place your hand on your body (your heart or belly are easily accessible choices). Close, or still your eyes. Notice your breath…your heartbeat…your feelings. Now begin to notice what’s going on INSIDE your body…are there parts that feel heavy? light? strong? tight? soft? tingly? cold? warm? hot? What do YOU notice? Do you need a drink of water? A bathroom break? A meal? A sweater? Now let yourself look around slowly — in all directions, just noticing your surroundings (don’t forget to look behind you).

It may seem too simple to be significant, but this is basic Self Care 101 here. Being a good parent to yourself. Not prioritizing production over taking care of yourself. Not suppressing natural bodily urges and needs.

BODY

Being disconnected from the Body means that you are suppressing all of the signals. Pain, for instance, is a serious message that people often ignore thinking they can “work through the pain”, but this only makes the root of the problem get worse and lead to bigger problems.

SOUL

Being disconnected from the Soul can feel like a disenchantment with life and purpose. It can suck all of the joy out of your days and leave you wondering what you’re doing with your life. It can cause you to look for unhealthy behaviors with which to fill the void of what’s truly missing. It can make you feel like there’s no meaning in your life, which can lead to apathy, disappointment, resentment, and depression.

INTUITION

Being disconnected from Intuition is like flying an airplane in a blinding storm without using the navigation system. Your intuition is meant to guide you. It is your built-in GPS! Without it, you will end up anxiously going through life unsure of what/where/how you should go next. You’ll question every choice you make and end up making major decisions based on cues you get from by “pop” culture, social media, and other people’s opinions. None of which are uniquely crafted to work for YOU!

You can rediscover your connection to your Soul, to the wisdom of your Body, and start living from your own Intuition!

🌿 5 Essential Practices for Thriving in Difficult Times

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , ,

How are you? I know that’s a loaded question. There’s so much going on right now, so many possible answers to that question, right?

It would be perfectly reasonable to be experiencing any level of fear, numbness, anxiety, overwhelm, panic, anger, worry, frustration, sadness, love, or just about anything else. 

We all deal with trauma, stress, or difficult situations in our own way. It’s really important that you allow whatever is coming up for you to be felt and digested, in order to be released.

I’ve noticed that often when something BIG happens — like COVID-19, 911, etc. I tend to go numb first. I don’t “feel” stressed or worried, but on a deep level, I am in shock. I’ve been functioning as normal, but I’ve been really hiding away, experiencing a whole range of thoughts and emotions,  and doing my best to take every day as it comes. How about you?

One thing that can help us get through this is having a gratitude practice. It can be so easy to obsess over all of the things that are scary and inconvenient, but if you’re lucky enough to be reading this, chances are you have many, many things that you can be grateful for right now.

I feel very, very grateful that I have support from my family right now, and that I know exactly how to take care of myself inside and out. 

I want to share with you some of the ways that I stay healthy and sane during difficult times, so I’ve decided to step into the Light to do what I can do to help bring more Love into the world. 

In this workshop, I share with you some of the things I’m doing to stay sane and healthy inside + out.  If you implement the tools that I’m teaching, you’ll have a powerful toolkit for keeping your sh*t together during these times, and beyond!

Learn 5 KEY daily practices that will help you keep your sh*t together
so that you can thrive – not just survive!

During these times of greater stress and fear,
our senses are overwhelmed,
our schedules are out the window,
and our minds are on hyper-drive,
which can set us up for physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual illness.

Learn how to protect yourself and LOVE yourself
for optimal health and healing!

I honor the financial difficulties that many of us are experiencing during this time by offering this workshop for FREE. However, if you feel called to make a donation, you can use the Paypal “friends and family” option to send money to: sacredspaceyoga@gmail.com

Fear of Slowing Down

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Let me describe a common scenario…

A woman/mother/man/father (could be you) rises to the sound of an alarm, steps out of bed and into a role that s/he plays well — always working diligently on the projects of the day (work, parenting, meals, cleaning, driving, etc.) — crossing all of the ‘t’s and dotting all of the ‘i’s — rushing around to make sure deadlines are met.

Sometimes meals get skipped; sometimes, fast food has to suffice. Transitions between events/meetings/tasks are tight and sometimes it doesn’t feel like there’s room to breathe, much less observe the subtleties within moments.

Sometimes s/he hears a “thank you” (although it might be rare). S/he’s become so accustomed to this way of life that (most days) there’s no longer even a thought about “self-care”, or doing something for your Self. The evenings require as much routine and squeezing in as the days do, and by the end of the night s/he’s left drained, often indulging in one or more forms of self-medicating — a drink (or two), a few Netflix episodes, the infamous late-night snacking, etc.

It’s not until the weekend that s/he sometimes wonders where the life s/he used to dream about went; s/he sees life flying by without actually living it, and wonders if this is just how it goes. Not quite what s/he imagined for her/his self.

Can you relate to this story?

BAD NEWS: If you’re like most Americans, this is a rough sketch of your daily life.
GOOD NEWS: It doesn’t have to be this way! (keep reading)

When we are living as described above, i.e. modern, over-scheduled lives, we are out of touch with our bodies, our emotions, and our dreams. This translates as living in a constant state of triggering and fear, which means we are going through our lives mostly in Fight/Flight/Freeze (Sympathetic Nervous System) mode, which causes degeneration and disease. When we are in SNS (sympathetic nervous system), blood is diverted away from the organs and into the limbs for quick response. The problem isn’t the SNS, but the fact that we are constantly “on guard” for the next thing that needs doing or email that needs checking.

In order to HEAL, digest, and restore our bodies/minds we need to be in Parasympathetic Nervous System. And as long as we are operating in SNS (i.e. stress response) for the majority of our minutes/hours/days/weeks, then our hormones (and lives) will be out of balance.

Recognizing this is one thing, but making a lifestyle change is quite another.

“Maybe we hear these pleas from our bodies, but we don’t know how to stop running, pushing, overreaching ourselves. We are afraid that if we stop, something terrible will happen.”

~ Dr. Claudia Welch

You might not think you live in “fear”, but I’m here to tell you that if you are choosing a life that is harming your health, inside and out, and limiting your potential, then you ARE. A little tough love here…

As unintentional as it may be, YOU ARE CHOOSING the path of INSANITY! 😱

GOOD NEWS: You CAN Get OUT of this Cycle!!!
BAD NEWS: There is no quick fix — no pill, no diet, no superfood, no surgery, no ONE thing that will “fix it” FOR you. The work is all on you.
MORE GOOD NEWS: This is EXACTLY my specialty and I’d LOVE to help you get UNstuck!

P.S. It’s not going to be EASY, but it’s going to be BEAUTIFUL and so so so FULFILLING!

Schedule a time to talk with me here.
