Listening Within

"The little things in life, as we know, actually are the big things.
Habits, patterns, unconscious tendencies . . . 
they make up and shape the foundation of our lives."
~ Lexie Marie
Happy spring, everyone! 🌷

I LOVE the energy of this moment.  
New Moon: a time of seed planting and intention setting . . . 
➕
Spring Equinox: the balance between dark and light, the beginning of the astrological year, when everything begins turning to the light . . . 
🟰
A powerful time for us tap into, support, and ignite our life force. 

You know, the vibration that is uniquely us. 
The love and light that we are already are. 
The vibration that the world needs more of! 


So, how do we reconnect to our source self?
Let alone bolster our highest, best self? 

The answer begins with something so simple.
And yet, this simple act remains elusive for SO many of us. 

It starts with getting still. 

I hope you'll join me in carving out time today (or later this week, or over the weekend) to get still. And very quiet. Eliminate any and every distraction you can. 

Maybe this happens on your yoga mat. Maybe on your couch. Or in your tub, or in bed, or underneath your favorite tree, or along the lakeshore, or on top of a mighty mountain.

Make it simple. Make it special. This stillness is for you, so make it yours. 

Once you're still, invite your entire self to arrive. The shadow and the light. The parts of yourself you admire. And the aspects you would rather hide away. Bring it ALL in. 

Then, explore connection to your breath. Can you expand it to be deep and even? Do you want further release by sighing out on the exhale? Would you like to add movement in your arms, shoulders, belly, or hips? 

Begin listening to every nook and cranny of your body. 

Stay with the stillness and the quiet longer than you imagine. Let yourself drift, so you can hear the intelligence within your body and every fiber of your being. 

This is not something we "think" through. This is something we feel into and experience. 

Taking these moments to disconnect, so we can reconnect, are essential for our nervous system and our well-being. 
Here's to having the courage to listen within and love ourselves fully,
