"Why do people always expect authors to answer questions? I am an author because I want to ask questions. If I had answers, I'd be a politician." - Eugène Ionesco I have to write 3 pages for a workshop I'm taking, and oh my goodness! This quote fits perfectly for my headspace right now. Free flow writing has never been my thing. 👉 Got any tips?

"Unconditional love goes beyond holding on and letting go. Real love is about truth. It's about looking at what's really going on instead of the stories we tell ourselves about it. It's about being able to love someone from afar, when we need to, because we see that closeness turns us into the worst versions of ourselves." -Vironika Tugaleva 💞 This quote turned me out! So few people understand unconditional love, much less be it. I'm doing, but some days my grip fails me. 🙏 ✨ #FLIPPINYOGRIP 🔹HOSTS🔹 🔷 @_monette 🔷 @Crizia_Rn_yoga 🔷 @fitnessover50 💜 💕 🔸 SPONSORS 🔸 🔶 @pucket_pants 🔶 @consciousink 🔶 @kosusaofficial 🔶 @haramichinyc 🔶 @livvoyoga 🔶 @nessarosejewelry 🔶 @neulotus 🔶 @jeannevergerjewelry 🔶 @youphoriayoga 🔶 @yogitees 🔶 @arthleticwear 🔶 @infinitystrap 🔶 @lalalandcomfywear

If any of these resonate with you it may indicate attention to the first chakra is needed. 💞 If you feel you've lost trust in life If you're easily overwhelmed by life If you are constantly looking for security in life If you suffer from sciatica or throw your back out If you have a tendency toward back pain If you have problems with your colon and elimination If you don't feel present in your body If you feel afraid of life If you feel isolated, abandoned If you have difficulty manifesting what is needed in life If you feel you are lost If bad habits and addictions are ruling your life  💕 A person with a balanced Muladhara has a powerful will to live, is grounded in life, inner strength, and passion. A sense of trust and security in life and themselves and not easily thrown by circumstances surrounding them.   🙏 Tree pose for today's #ColorPopChakra Hosts: @shreeyoga @inspired_by_jenna @_monette @elsavivar @zenbeeni @kimmcleod1 Sponsors: @aloetteofc3 @beccacuellarjewelry @pucket_pants @namastewear @infinitystrap

That's me. #tbt to 2008. In New Mexico. I was not pregnant! 😂 💞 It's amazing to see how many re-incarnations and births I've had since then! 💜 Give thanks for the expansion 🙏 I'm amazed at the transformation. 💓 Like, shocked. Wow. 💛 Yoga does that. 💕✨

#ColorPopChakra ❤❤❤ Muladhara or Root Chakra is the first Chakra and the foundation of all others. Located in the area of the coccyx between the anus and the perineum. It provides energy to the pelvic regions, and governs the skeleton. It is deep rooted and tied to the Earth. The Root Chakra is the source of our Life Energy, the Kundalini, Shakti. It also governs the feelings of trust, security, and the strength for living. 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 Color: Red Essential oils:  Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver.  Woodsy scents.  Earthly scents.  Gemstones: Garnet, Onyx, Hematite Mantra: LAM Affirmations: "I am grounded and balanced."

I am very new to flipping my grip overhead. I've never been strong in my upper body, so it's time to change that. #FLIPPINYOGRIP 🔹HOSTS🔹 @_monette @Crizia_Rn_yoga @fitnessover50 🔸 SPONSORS 🔸 🔶 @pucket_pants 🔶 @consciousink 🔶 @kosusaofficial 🔶 @haramichinyc 🔶 @livvoyoga 🔶 @nessarosejewelry 🔶 @neulotus 🔶 @jeannevergerjewelry 🔶 @youphoriayoga 🔶 @yogitees 🔶 @arthleticwear 🔶 @infinitystrap 🔶 @lalalandcomfywear

"Suffering is not holding you. You are holding suffering. When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize how unnecessary it was for you to drag those burdens around with you. You’ll see that no one else other than you was responsible. The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival." —Osho Yes! As I get closer to 40 I am realizing I want my life to be fun! I want the festival vibe for the rest of my life! But do I need it? How will that help others? Mother Nature? So I chant and meditate. I want to make this world better. By being Better, not Bitter🙏💕❤ - Revolved/Reverse Triangle. This one is so hard for me and my injury. But as long as I shift my weight slowly, parallel to the floor, I'm ok. Another great stretch for the digestion, and to help reduce #PittaDosha

It's #TreeposeTuesday 🌲❤️ @ilovegurus plants a tree for every photo! Would @sandra_thornburg and @polepedalpaddle like to join in? 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏 #gurustpt

"Self-discipline is often disguised as short-term pain, which often leads to long-term gains. The mistake many of us make is the need and want for short-term gains (immediate gratification), which often leads to long-term pain." -Charles F. Glassman I actually got up and didn't need Paul (sorry, not sorry)! Whoop! Seems to be an upside Wednesday 🙌😉😃🙏

Oh happy day! My hands reach the wheel! 🙏 "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." - George Bernard Shaa 💕 The awesome Andy @bareyoga asked me to join him in #stopdropandyoga so I shot a progress shot, to see, and yay! 🙌 Would those tagged #sdy ?

Happy Hump Day! #WeHandstandOnWednesdays with @dr.eadloxyogi and @rockabetty25 🙌 Give thanks to the lovely and inspiring @dr.eadloxyogi for inviting me to play today! I felt much stronger getting up today, and closer to the wall! Although when I looked at the picture, I seemed far away, I'm gonna believe I'm closer. 😂😂😂😜😃 Tagged friends, want to play along?

“Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already borne the pain. What you have not done is feel all you are beyond that pain.” - Khalil Gibran Such a great reminder that we are more than we believe. Always ❤🙏 👉 That light day is awesome, right? 😍
