Contemplating Kindness

"there is an attractive vibe that people who are willing to grow emit. even if you are just starting on your journey, being comfortable with the fact that you are imperfect and are ready to move beyond old limits gives off a special energy that calls in emotionally mature people."

Hello, beauties!

My return to teaching has been powerful medicine. That first "OM" in community brought tears to my eyes. While I am still struggling to manage my Covid symptoms and my energy level, I am doing everything I can to balance effort and ease in order to make a full recovery. 

Thank you for your ongoing patience, kindness, and support. 

And, a HUGE shout out to EVERYONE who participated in Let Go To Grow! Wow, what a GROUP. You did it! Even though your six-week journey is now officially complete, I can't wait to see where your daily practice takes you next!!

This week, a simple request from me. Please, take another look at the image up above. Then, spend some time in curiousity about your relationship to kindness.

• Is it a muscle you flex often?
• When you extend kindness to others, do you hope for something in return? 
• When you listen to someone in need, do you listen with your whole body and from a place of kindness?
• When you selflessly offer someone else kindness, how does that resonate in your body and being? 
• Do you willingly extend kindness to others, yet oftentimes withhold it from yourself? 
• What does offering yourself greater kindness look and sound like?
• Is it something external . . .  like a nourishing meal? Or spacious, distraction-free conversation time with a dear friend? 
• What happens when you explore kindness within your own internal dialogue? Can you soften, and release, the chatter that is injurious and unhelpful?

Here's to expanding our heart space
with acts of kindness for others and for ourselves. 
Light and love to all,
