Drop Your Doubt to Clarify Your Intention

Drop Your Doubt to Clarify Your Intention

What longing has been living inside you, waiting to be more fully expressed? What intention is bubbling up from deep within you? 

Sankalpa is the practice of getting clear on your intention so that you are aligned with your highest potential. 

When your body can settle and you feel held, your thoughts and feelings can drop any doubtfulness that might be blocking your intention. 

Will you let self doubt cloud your inherent goodness, or will you feel supported by the earth and share your gifts with the world?

2020 Election Season Meditation for Courage and Protection

2020 Election Season Meditation for Courage and Protection

Create a Circle of Protection and Courage

Here's a meditation I've been sharing in class. I'm sharing with you, while acknowledging what was offered to me by teacher and mentor, Michelle Cassandra Johnson: social justice activist • anti-racism trainer • author • yoga teacher. https://www.michellecjohnson.com/ Many of these words are hers, and the framework is hers. She has given permission to adapt the prayer. 

I am seeking no gains from sharing this but to be in community with you. 

Each of us is finding our way to contribute to the greater good. This is my current personal practice leading up to the 2020 US election and beyond, for as long as necessary. This is my way of showing up in integrity right now. 

Of course I made a voting plan. When I see injustice, I will be standing up and speaking up. This meditation is how I'm remaining centered and in community despite our physical distance. 

Please join us, to add your power and courage to the circle. Free Meditation Download:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XWT28uez_F6lew8XXlQM0Bd3lVPrFO16/view?usp=sharing

In this episode I’m speaking specifically to my peers who are also parenting differently wired kids. Our culture can be unforgiving, and their future unclear. When anxiety arises, how do you cope? Here, I’m sharing a process I’ve found beneficial for my peace of mind, while having tangible results day to day. There’s a grounding mindfulness meditation, a visualization, and writing prompts. I discuss my family’s process, and how we incorporate growth mindset and the biology of courage. This is a long one, and it gets very personal. Feel free to listen to a shorter version of this episode. You will only miss my many specific examples.

New Podcast: Mindfully Parenting Atypical Kids / Listening to Children’s Trauma

The Transformation of Birth: Meditation to Strengthen Your Intuition

The Transformation of Birth: Meditation to Strengthen Your Intuition

Prenatal yoga can help you not only to strengthen your body and provide emotional support during pregnancy. It can awaken you to your inherent wisdom and strength. 

When you tune into your inner, unlimited knowing, the external fuzz of life can feel less irritating and intrusive. You don’t need to bother so much with outside stimulus when your nervous system is grounded in your intuition. 

When have you found yourself almost overwhelmed by a situation, and then discovered that, although it was too powerful to control, you didn’t have to be tossed around by it? You may have discovered that, with trust in your highest self, you could ride that wave. 

This meditation from the kundalini tradition has been a useful visualization for countless students during the challenge of labor. During my own labor, I found myself taking refuge in the inner strength I had developed through challenging meditations such as this. 

To go straight to the meditation: skip to 8:40. Cue up some rhythmic music you love to move along to.

If you breathe, you belong here.

My core values are empathy, integrity, equity and respect.
