"Every time you journal, you're opening yourself up to more insight and information about yourself.”
"...(D)on't comment on another person's body unless they can fix it in under five minutes, right?”
"You don't need to go and live in a forest or on an amazing beach to experience the season or connect with nature and the elements. Nature is around us."
"We have an incredible capacity for healing, if we just give ourselves a chance."
"The chakras are energy centers. Physicists recognize that the entire universe is comprised of energy, so therefore, whether we feel like we are or not, we are a part of the universe. We are a part of all."
"My first question to you is going to be 'What is the first step? What is the simplest thing you can do to make a change in your life today?'."
"With intuition, it's soft and subtle. It can be easy to put it aside. Worry and anxiety are much louder."
"I like to help people think of the gut as a garden. You have to not just put the seeds in the ground but you have to have the right soil, you have to put the right nutrients in place."
“It's about these little moments and choices. It's about once again, again, and again, and again, noticing where we're at and choosing to meet our own needs.”
"We have cultural scripts that give us roles based on every aspect of identity and all of that impacts how am I relating to what I enjoy. I am always comparing how I feel internally with how I feel I should be doing externally. And that’s not really based in “what do I like”?".
“You start to realize that the things you’re habitually doing may be causing more suffering and how can you love yourself more, how can you nurture yourself more, so you can start to change that relationship with yourself.”
"Any tool that you can give someone that helps them look at themselves through a lens of understanding and compassion can only be helpful."
"Some of the greatest healing comes in when you can sit in the middle of the paradox, of two seemingly opposite things, and simply be with it.
It is this, and, it is that."
“Having your own spirituality is a connection to your Self, Capital S, or connection to your own spirit or soul and also connection to something greater than ourselves.”
Isn’t it interesting how a practice that often begins with an invitation to sit, or lie, down and close your eyes is the way that most of us learn to wake up? In this episode, let’s explore the practice of meditation and the state of mindfulness!
