#practicefromtheinsideout

Why practice yoga? To live a more fulfilling life. How I relate to myself on the mat -- my reactivity, compassion, awareness, judgment, allowing, creativity, effort/surrender-- is how I am off the mat. Breath, asana, meditation, chanting, study, service...these are all ways to know ourselves, love ourselves, and extend that out into our relationships, our workplace, our community. Is it easy? Not always. Is it kind and necessary? Yes. Feeling grateful for all my teachers and yogi path travelers, from Arkansas to Indiana to New Mexico to California. Thank you for sharing your light. ✨💛✨ #yoga #proseandposes #whywepractice #practicefromtheinsideout #livethoughtfully #livebeautifully #loveyourbody #namaste

"Get clear on what you want, condition yourself to the belief that it's possible by focusing on and affirming it every day, and then consistently move in the direction of your vision until it becomes your reality." #halelrod #miraclemorning #meditation #affirmation #vision How to "get clear" on what you want? Silence snd stillness...that's where to start. It's not easy for this busy body and monkey mind, but I always feel the rewards. Even after ten minutes, I'm less fidgety, a little more spacious between thoughts. It's the consistent practice that starts opening us to more clarity, more sensitive inner listening. Then, when you're ready, journal. Riff. Write and dive. Memorize a sankalpa. Practice believing. Practice trusting. For about a year, I got very clear and strong in my desire for a "loving, supportive, easeful, physically playful, passionate, and inspirational romantic relationship." And while any connection between two complex human beings has its ebb and flow, I am honored--no, fantastically, wholeheartedly blessed to say I'm living that reality. Part beautiful chance? Perhaps. Part core desired feelings, vision/belief co-creation? Absolutely. 💙🙏🏻💜 Are you willing to find stillness and silence? To practice listening? To get clear? To practice believing and trusting? Begin now, in this breath.

RIP little man 😢 My heart is breaking and I did all I could. But it was too late. He went downhill fast after the vet visit. He passed in my arms and I take comfort that he knew he was loved... even if just for a moment in his little life. We buried him with love. And I hope whoever dumped these helpless souls in the jungle rots in hell. I want to thank everyone for all the love and messages you've sent to me and my little man... yesterday was a really, really bad day for all of us involved in puppy rescues here in Tulum and Playa. We lost two other little souls and my heart feels so heavy right now. The feeling that I didn’t ‘do enough’ is a strong one… and I’ve been sitting in front of my computer crying, broken, heavy feeling and lost after reading about the two other pups we lost due to assholes in the world who don’t care. The only comfort for me in this moment is that my little man did not suffer alone... in the jungle... with no one to love and try to care for him. It's little comfort... but it will have to do for now. So the fight continues. And I have to have hope that we are making change because otherwise I will give up. To watch something so small and helpless take it's last breaths in your arms is something I hope you never experience. And if you have, my heart goes out to you... Thank you to everyone who's sent him love. They are all in peace now and taking care of each other. It's not much, but it's something to keep the hope alive. Thank you and thanks to all that do their part to make a difference. And special thanks to Kitty for helping me say goodbye. I ❤ you, little man. Go to Meka, Emily and Canuck now. They’ll take care of you for me.
