BeSimply…Rock Steady

by admin July 24, 2020

Life is providing “US” with an invitation to dive deeper into the inner landscape. The current state of “affairs” are weighing on the collective and individual mind + heart.

As inspired…

+Keep noticing that your feet are planted firmly on the earth

+Welcome the heart and mind to stay clear and open.

+Observe the breath.

It will take effort to hold center, it is a daily practice.

Each one of you is meeting a certain amount of individual karma (cause and effect) and collective karma. These very personal and distinct moments which require great strength coupled with a willingness to heal, transform, reconcile and let go of what you think you know.

It will take effort to hold center, it is a daily practice. Lean into the POSSIBLE.

Life to all. Peace to all. Love to all.

“Everything is sorrow for the wise.”
― Patanjali,

enlighten me

The trend of yoga, mindfulness, ritual and spiritual mystique that has become commonplace in health, wellness, business, entertainment, athletics and personal lives globally. In fact, it is a multi-billion dollar industry. In addition, there are billions of photos on the World Wide Web documenting and expressing these practices, teachings, selfies, goods and more. All of which probably support and inspire many in one way or another. Yet, are any of these odes truly a sign of one’s level of consciousness or indicator they ARE or Soon TO BE” enlightened?

I would respond, “NO.” In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most of what is portrayed as sacred or wisdom has an essence of grasping underplayed by the beautiful mask that is offered. The mask contains seeds that will eventually awaken in the pretender and in those who sip it up. (Click Here to Read More)

More than not, there is an elephant in the room, t More than not, there is an elephant in the room, the unspoken words, feelings, subtextual knowing, and observations that only some can see. In everyday exchanges, it can become this dance between the moment unfolding here, the echo chamber in our hearts, and all that is held in the liminal spaces. The elephant, metaphorically, reminds us it never forgets, similar to how our hearts reminds us of this. A reminder that nothing ever is truly forgotten; yet, the ‘charge from the past’ can most certainly dissipate. It is when we bottle up all the energy connected to that moment suspended in our hearts and mind that the energy bounces around, attempting to escape. Until that ball of potential finds neutrality, it is more than likely going to sneak up on you and attempt to shake itself out of you or roll around with you on the ground until you LET IT GO. 

As we anchor into late summer season, I invite you to join me in exploring how “Grounding DOWN and Divine Remembrance” will help you to lighten your load as you enter into Fall. I share how to release the weight of bottled-up feelings and flow effortlessly with the rhythms of Mother Earth. In this transition from summer to late summer, I find peace by anchoring into the divine, creating space to honor my heart’s truths. Discover simple practices to rebalance and reconnect with your inner landscape. Curious about grounding down and letting go?

All Possible. Mind the GAP. Stillness. During thi All Possible. Mind the GAP. Stillness.

During this transition, it is a very beneficial moment to drop into the VOID (the GAP), the space in-between. You ask, how and where do I do this? A simple, silent meditation. Bum to the cushion, body upright with eyes gently shut or gazing at a point in front of you.

Stay there for 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, or 55 minutes (you choose). I would recommend doing this daily, and if that is not possible, meet yourself in the moments you can. The benefit of anchoring in a daily meditation practice now through the end of the next lunar cycle is that you will have the opportunity to ground and clear your mind before the transitional seasons of Fall and Spring arrive. These two seasons are naturally high-energy and frenetic at times; hence, taking a proactive measure to be in silence with self will help prepare you for these seasons. In addition, you might be inspired to integrate it into your daily flow.

There is an importance to unplugging from tech during this practice, being in pure silence, and honoring yourself by sitting up for it (if possible). It is to access your inner wisdom, san the unknown frequencies coming from anything other than you. To ease your mind and potential compulsion to look at the clock, set a chime alarm to bring you out of the meditation. Start with the amount of time that is comfortable, and you will naturally want to sit longer. If you would like some assistance leading you in, holding you there, and helping you access the void, reach out below or DM me. The reason for a guide in this environment of silence is to assist you in staying present, guide you deeper, and help you stay aware. This assistance can be helpful for a beginner and an advanced meditation practitioner.

Body Food Rooting into the earth’s energy. Keep Body Food

Rooting into the earth’s energy. Keep moving that body.

As summer transitions into late summer, hiking near moving water offers a grounding practice to prepare the body and mind for fall and spring. Late summer, a time of shorter and oftentimes warmer days, carries a rise in kinetic energy that can cause overheating, fast-forward motion and/or create dissonance in the mind. Hiking by rivers, streams, or waterfalls will help you harness the energies flowing from the earth, water and plants to cool off and stabilize your entire being. Ultimately, welcoming balance. 

When possible, choose trails with diverse terrain, rocky paths or forest slopes, near flowing water. The sound of running water will soothe your nervouse system, reducing stress and cooling mental agitation. The uneven ground engages core muscles, improving balance and inviting awareness. The eco-system will strengthen the body for fall’s reflective energy and spring’s renewal energy. Goal: 1-2 hour hikes, 1-3 times weekly at a moderate pace. 

Walking mindfully near water creates the perfect bridge between summer’s fire and late summer’s earth energy. Creating space to ground and counterbalance the fast-paced summer and fall energy will help lead you through these seasonal transitions with grace. As inspired, pause to feel the moving water, listen intently to nature, and invite yourself to retain silence. Coupled with deeper rhythmic breathing while hiking regulates body temperature, calms the mind, and balances kinetic energy. 

As you meet your turnaround point, take time to sit in repose, stretch and have a small snack with a sip of water. Then, as you make your return to your starting point, bring your attention to see everything from a different perspective from a vantage that you did not have on the way up. If you are hiking in a loop, you can shift your focus from maybe the path to the water or to the trees to harness the same effect. 

These hikes will cultivate a reset for your mind, body, heart and soul. . .preparing you for the seasonal changes which will be felt in the elements surrounding you.

Navigating the Dance of Nature and AI As we integ Navigating the Dance of Nature and AI

As we integrate AI into our lives, are we drifting from our innate wisdom and natural rhythms? The allure of technology risks dulling emotional intelligence and straining human connections, with studies like “Your Brain on ChatGPT” revealing cognitive debt from over-reliance. I choose sovereignty, grounding myself in my organic self through practices like reclaiming my energetic biofield, creating at nature’s pace, pen to paper. With environmental costs and AI’s limitations in focus and accuracy, I practice conscious engagement with tech while honoring my eternal being.
