Yoga & Sound

"You cannot get through a single day
without having an impact on on the world around you. 
What you do makes a difference, 
​and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."
~ Jane Goodall

Hello, friends!

I can't believe it has been a year since lifting Mariana onto my back . . . and nearly getting boxed as a result?! 🤣

A year ago today I was in Joshua Tree, California studying Yoga and Sound. The entire trip was memorable and more than a bit magical. I wrote to you about my experiences while I was there, and you can get caught up, or refreshed, by clicking here. 

Now that I've had some time to integrate, process, reflect, and expand . . . I am more capable of sharing with you some of what inspired me (and my teaching!) and what has shifted within me as a result.  

I find it super valuable to pause, and to reflect, so I can see more clearly what has shifted. That way I can celebrate the victories (yes, even the nano-victories) and soften into my areas where I desire growth and expansion.

One year later, here are a just a few of my key takeaways:

• Everything around us, and in us, is a vibration. It's energy. And, it has a frequency;
• *"The heart is the most powerful source of electromagnetic energy in the human body"; 
• *"The heart's electrical field is about 60 times greater in amplitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain";
• I want to move in the world with as high a vibration as possible, and this means I need to be embodied and live into my heart space;
• Being attuned to our bodies, and accessing a higher vibration, is a breath by breath practice. It is a commitment. A commitment to a brighter, clearer pathway forward.
• Two tools that have become increasingly important to my daily practice are: mantra and sound.
• Why? Because mantra and sound bring me into my body quickly and, simultaneously, raise my vibration.

If you love sound and mantra as much as I do? YAY!
Please share how you support yourself with these tools.
Drop me a line, or shoot me a text, and let me know. 
 
If using sound for healing, or mantra for personal growth, is something you are unsure of, or curious about, I'd love to know your questions. Seriously! Please ask. 
​
And, if you ever doubt why we should be so diligent in taking great care of ourselves? Or, you wonder why you should commit to raising your vibration and living into your heart space?

Take another read of the quotation at the top. ☝🏽

Yep. That's why. 🫶🏽Hugs, light, and love,

P.S. Confession: 

• I am not great at celebrating my own victories. Even the nano ones. 😔
• And yes, this is an area where I desire growth and expansion. 😊
• So, here goes . . . I am now leading small bits of mantra in my classes, and that's a win!
• I play my new signing bowls almost every day; they are so healing, I can't wait to share. 
• What's next? I'm taking online voice lessons and dreaming of a harmonium 🥰

P.P.S. Mariana, I miss you and our Radiant Body Yoga tribe 😘
