We Can Only Go So Far Alone

Today, I am going to talk to you about something near and dear to my heart, but first let me start with some truths: These last several years have been incredibly tough. Being a parent during a pandemic challenged me in ways far deeper and more complicated than I could have ever guessed. The political landscape in this country creates a constant state of deep fear in my body. The eco-crisis has my anxiety at an all-time high.

Back to School {part 1}

Summer is often a season of fluid, flexible schedules. There might be camps for the kids, vacations, dealing with other people’s vacation schedules… Every week feels a little different and when that is the case, I notice that my meditation practice shifts. The time of day that I practice is a little less consistent. Sometimes I practice for shorter periods. I practice indoors more with the extreme heat. And now... The kids are going back to school. I saw pumpkin flavored goodies at the grocer...

Mini Meditation: Your Feelings Don't Need Fixing

In today’s class, we stop trying to fix what we feel. The grief, the fear, the rage, the numbness - all the things we ‘shouldn’t’ feel but wow, do we ever feel. Loudly. Insistently. And importantly. These aren’t feelings to be ignored, sugar-coated, covered up or silenced. Our meditation practice enables us to feel with courage and compassion, and when our meditation practice ends, we have the strength and clarity to take the next right step. Join me for today’s mini meditation. These mini me...

Mini Meditation: Are You Afraid of Your Feelings?

It is quite common to be inexperienced at allowing our difficult feelings to be as they are. When we are scared, often we run. When we are angry, often we fight. When we are sad, often we numb. Our meditation practice allows us the opportunity to return to the present moment, to acknowledge what it is that we are truly feeling, and then to ask ourselves - “Can I be with this?” The answer to this question guides our next response. Join me for a mini meditation designed to help us stop bein...
