TRANSFORM FEAR TO EXCITEMENT
Resistance. We all know about it. It is like the two weeks prior to hiking The Stawamus Chief, where my daughter worried and whined that she would not be able to do it. Or like the two years prior to my Yoga Therapy course, where I routinely convinced myself that surely someone or something would sabotage the completion. Do these limiting self beliefs...
A SHIFT IN PERCEPTION
HAPPY 50TH EARTH DAY. Thank you for opening and reading this email. I hope it finds you well. This is a special email, as there will never be another April 22, 2020. For this 50th Earth Day, I am hoping to initiate a shift or new hope in YOU. Most folks on this email list have been following Body Harmony for...
INNER AND OUTER WORLDS
Wow. This is an interesting time of change and uncertainty. The world is watching and waiting for messages that will bring more clarity to a situation that has brought upheaval to many. With the privilege of having electronics we are doing our best to inform ourselves, however, often we spend too much time looking ‘out there’ distracting ourselves from what...
DO YOU BELIEVE?
“I don’t have the spirit of Christmas,” was what she said, as if wondering what was wrong with her. The tree was up, gifts were wrapped, Christmas concerts realized, and the letter to Santa was even sent. All the Christmas music and outer preparations abound us would not bring about the happy vibes of years gone by. I can imagine there is...
A SUSTAINABLE SUMMER
Time is the most precious gift someone can give you. That is, when it is complete undivided attention with presence. Full body listening for the sake of understanding. A connection of pure awareness that I seek to find with you here. I liken it to the feeling of chanting OM at the end of a really good yoga class! A sensation we would love to sustain but understand...
A HAPPY NEW YEAR
This year I turn 50. Although I do not look or feel half a century old, there are telltale signs! Energy levels are somewhat different from the 30's and this is one human sign of aging to be considered with the addition of nearly 500 hours of Yoga Therapy studies, which have been incorporated to my 2019 schedule. It is a bit intimidating, as I am keeping the...
ON THIS HARVEST MOON
Today I write for my own wellness, but with the hope that the timing of this message will resonate with even one person. Vocalizing these words feels futile, so let this be a journaling journey where perhaps some wisdom will come of the quiet moment. Wisdom that I trust is within, and ready to surface to the conscious mind telling me 'what really aches'. With mild tooth...
JUNE SOLSTICE
The June Solstice is fast approaching which means that depending on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, either the longest or shortest day of the year is nearly upon you. It is interesting to think that you and I are here together on this planet experiencing varying climates and unique lives, and as different as those lives may...
SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAYS
Happy Holidays! My family salutes you from a warm climate, with this photo taken a few weeks ago near our home, after the first snowfall of the season. We enjoyed an amazing evening of snow shoeing, sledding, skating as well as visiting Santa, knowing that we would not see a white Christmas where we were headed. Whether the climate be warm...
YOGA BY THE BEACH – 15TH & FINAL SEASON
With so much happening on the home front, this years Yoga by the Beach season has definitely snuck up on me. Having been in the midst of selling our home and of course buying another, it feels like I am entering a territory all too familiar to many of my readers! We chose a home located in our same general area of North...
