These kitto’s have been pretty chill since since they received so much Reiki at our master teacher training weekend. Having the animals and real person contact was so amazing.

I’m grateful we live in a world where we can join hands or link up online across the world.

There will be another in person master teacher intensive coming this spring. If you’re interested, dm me ❤️

I had an amazing weekend teaching reiki and attuning 4 new teachers. We had some help from the fur beings and now have a kitten walking around with level 1 attunements 😂

If your beliefs are making you depressed - change them

If everyone who shares your like mind is unhappy - is what you believe really what you believe.

Around 40 my generation and before begins to wake up. A lot my suffering was absolutely in my control.

I had to walk through the ugly stuff I didn’t want to, but I did. Because until you do, until you’re ready to let it not be your identity, you won’t get to the next level of you.

Your body is ALWAYS talking to you. Listen

In yoga, there is a yogic principle, Asteya. Asteya means “non-stealing”

Have you ever shared your joy with someone only to have them remind you that you shouldn’t get your hopes up because (insert their fears here).

Or, have you ever done this yourself?

Moms do it all the time. We don’t mean to but we’re so used to being the one to protect or have all the answers, sometimes we can be a real buzz kill. It’s not just moms that do this from a place of love, most people who steal joy do this from love.

Unconscious patterns that remain unrealized can be harmful to the love and joy we wish to have.

Practicing non-stealing can lead to liberation from your past programming.

Dear God can it be hard though 😂

A relaxing and beautiful yoga nidra practice to take you deeper into healing and rejuvenation. An opportunity to meet with animals in nature as well as a special guest that may arrive. The wisdom that is encoded in you through symbolism and archetype is rich and waiting to be extracted. Set aside your analytical mind through deep body relaxation and watch as your unconcious and subconscious mind make themselves known.

Yoga nidra is a systematic relaxation practice used for rest and recovery as well as carries with it the potential for self realization.

Live your life not afraid to be a fool.

Isn’t that what keeps us small? We fear we might look foolish if we fail or too arrogant if we succeed.

The best remedy I’ve found if you feel like that is - finding a new circle of people who live their lives otherwise.

Find those who focus so much on their own personal goals that the sound of yours is inspiration to them. They get excited for you, they encourage you. They support you.

Find a community that is centered around love, I swear to you they are out there...

In a world where we are defined by roles and relationships, who are you really?Who am I ?I struggled a bit with writing an introduction to who I am. I dislike labeling, but I seem to be in a lifestyle business that needs to attach title and accomplishment to the end of who we are. The more trainings...
