Dharma with Gemma, Austin, TX (2025)

03/01/2024

It’s a cultivated skill to align your daily livelihood with your soul’s dharma.

We often think it’s the job, the specific line of work that proves we’re following our dharma.

‘If only I was doing ‘xyz’ I’d be living out my purpose’
‘I’m not doing enough, how will I ever reach my potential’
‘I loved that career, it gave me drive, I’m so lost now’
‘This doesn’t look like what I envisioned my career path to look like, & it feels right’

🪷What the Buddha says we often miss, is that our life is our purpose! and we can live our dharma in any spect of our life.

The Path of Skillful Livelihood is a practice to align your inner spiritual being with the external world.

The values we hold for ourselves and how we live them.

Dharma is our nature, our true, inherent, divine nature. Which I feel is the essence of our soul that is trying to express in this current lived experience.

For me - cultivate safety in learning is my dharma. I can do that in

👉🏽a conversation with a friend
👉🏽teaching a course
👉🏽writing a blog
👉🏽donating to education
👉🏽being a mentor or in a management role
👉🏽as a barista (order coffee is scary yo if you don’t know)

It’s okay to be wrapped up in what ‘it should look like’
AND what if you opened to what it could look like!

Because it’s not the job that expresses who you are, it’s who you are when you show up in the job.

I love meeting other yoga teachers and seeing how they are living there hearts out! I met on set with and she told me about her love of bees 🐝 and how she’s a bee keeper!

The bravery & fearlessness that’s cultivated in this is mind blowing! I felt impacted by her sharing her passion.

simply knowing she’s out there, buzzing her joy with her bees, I feel brighter more connected ✨💕🐝🦋🫶🏽🌱🌷

& that’s what sangha is, community that is living their livelihood, with their heart sharing that you too can do it how you want to.

🪷& that’s how we create more peace & free each other from suffering 🪷

Thank you for being a part of my sangha 🪩🌷

I love you 🤟🏽

I’ve fallen so deeply in love with life 💕🧡☀️

The more I dive into spirituality, the more I laugh

The more I dive into myself, the more I love

The more I dive into community, the more I’m amazed

There are so many paths to liberation

Which is a blessing + a struggle

AND WHAT A GIFT! It is to be reminded we get to choose

Blessing

Or

Struggle

Will I look at my suffering & wallow in it?

Or will I look at the mud and make pies 🥧?

You have this beautiful brain, and wise heart, under your insecurities & inadequacies is a powerful energy waiting to be harnessed.

You get to choose.

Will you choose to fall in love?

Again.
& again.
& again?

What I learned from being a social justice warrior….

Was that no matter how much I believe something, I never want to fight with shame, blame or persuasion.

Instead I choose to educate, encourage, & empower.

I’ve been talking about our drama 🎭 for a few days & how it’s our human tendency to get wrapped up in it all.

I got wrapped up in fighting with poison in my mouth, blinders over my eyes, & hate in my heart.

This drama felt exhausting, it felt like I was living split lives, never being truly understood.

It cost me friends, it cost me inner peace, & in the stress of it all it cost me the values I so very much believed in.

What was I fighting for again?
All I see is red 🔻🔻🔻
All I feel is my blood boiling 🩸🩸🩸

So I said enough - I’m doing it differently. I can’t save the world but I can save myself.

For 5 years I went on the inward journey to discover what it is I stand for.

& I remembered I stand for FREEDOM | MUKTI | LIBERATION

But this time it was different.

This time it was rooted in inner freedom & self liberation!

I truly believe if we use the suffering of the world to turn us home to our own suffering - we will find an access point to break our hearts open to heal from the anger that blinds us.

Then it’s only natural to share this freedom with others, to bring others along the journey into harmony.

There’s no need to fear monger or persuade, the embodiment itself invites people to discover it for themselves.

So if you want to save the world - save yourself first. The sharing will naturally land in your heart and you’ll be able to move forward as a

Warrior with an Awakened Heart - the Bodhisattva ✨💕🦋

I’m creating a community platform for us impact makers to have a home for emotional support with accessible spiritual wisdom.

So you can make a ripple in the world without feeling exhausted, burnt out, resentful.

Where you feel supported, loved, FED 👏🏽

We need your joy, your light, your compassion now more than ever!!

Are you ready to awaken from with in? 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ll keep you posted my loving warriors 🥹🫶🏽🙏🏽✨

💜Love, gem 💎

They say this healing | inner work journey isn’t for the ‘faint of heart’ 🤨🧐

Which I think ‘they’ 😜 are wrong.

Faint of heart 🟰 lacking in courage

anddd idk bout you, I’ve definitely lacked courage on my journey. Found myself in places feeling helpless + powerless, not knowing where to turn.

My faint heart felt squished, squeezed & left in a state of wtf do I do next - I’m running on empty, how am I supposed to have courage to make the changes that are weighing me down?

My faint heart knew I couldn’t do it alone, even when I told myself ‘I’m fine, I’ve always had to figure it out by myself’

When I’m feeling burnt out + fried —> extra crispy 🥓🥓
I know I’m walking a fine line between falling apart or falling back into wholeness.

The difference? Instead of hyper independence which leads me to falling apart, I share my tenderness with my mentor, the people who get the dark dog days because their mission is to remind me of the bright days - what’s possible when I’m on E.

The tender hearted people 🥺 are the exact people I want to support on this healing journey. The sisters that need someone to hold them in there softness while they cultivate courage & begin flexing the muscle they are deserving of peace + power + inner freedom!

🌱Someone to be there for you when self-discovery asks you to make real changes in your life.

🌱someone to be curious + inquisitive about your meaning of life & the values you’ve want to live by

🌱Someone who sees you for who you are & accepts your tears & rage and celebrates your joy!

We all need someone to listen, reflect, challenge our perspective and CALL US IN instead of OUT.

So if you’ve been feeling called out by the transformation world because your bravery + courage energy levels are on E 🪫🪫

This is your sign that you don’t need to wait for your courage to be on fire ❤️‍🔥 to take a chance on yourself

You don’t need to wait:

🚫to get through this next month
🚫when you’re less distracted or more ‘together’
🚫when you bypass the very thing that’s bringing you stress

Healing doesn’t have to be rough or hard, it can be big & transformative but it doesn’t have to be hard.

Here for you

2023

The year I chose myself FULLY

2023

The year I learned to move slow in CHAOS

2023

The year I played in the messiness of being HUMAN

2023

The year god said - you’ve studied spiritual teachings for years, it’s time for a lesson in true embodiment + WISDOM

2023

The year I walked the line of burnout & WARRIORSHIP

2023

The year I accepted abundance, love, support & care in MANY forms without TRANSACTIONS

2023

The year my nervous system was wrecked & healed I myself from WITHIN

🌷🫶🏽💕🧚‍♂️🌱☀️

Knowledge is learned, wisdom is felt.

As I reflect on this year, I couldn’t be more grateful to

✨feel inspired about my spiritual practice & way of living

✨a family that cares about me & finally (🤪) respects my boundaries
✨a healthy body, mind & heart that connects me with the world
✨food that fills me with nourishment + pleasure
✨so many reminders of how divine, mysterious & freakin WILD it is to be alive

We’re hosting the 2nd Austin Women’s Naked Yoga and we couldn’t be more ready to celebrate bodies & souls coming together 💕🫶🏽🧡✨

December 8, 2023
🧡7:00pm-9:30pm🧡

Whether you choose to undress the soul or the body, in this brave space you’re invited to explore freedom with your sisters & own your erotic innocence👑

We will begin with sister talk & connection to create group cohesiveness & allow for us to regulate our nervous systems. After, move into an un-robing ceremony where you get the freedom of choice to undress to YOUR comfort level & be held in sacred awe by your sisters 🥺🦋(there will be a grounding room!)

This is a consent-based space, and we celebrate your right to choose your yes or no, with no judgement & full acceptance.

The last hour will be our movement practice + sound bath to ground us in to the nature of bodies. Unleash your wild + free self to untether from the stories that stop you from owning your beauty and power.

This event is only for people who have a psssy. While this event is q***r and enby friendly, we only welcome people who have vaginas into the space💕

DOORS CLOSE AT 7:10pm. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENTER AFTER. Please plan time to arrive early based on Friday night traffic.
We also request that you bring your OWN mat, blanket + blocks. Even a sarong could be helpful.

Kelly & I have been friends for 8 years and have always bonded over teaching group fitness, yoga, & body acceptance. Our mission is to empower women to embrace their joy in merging body + soul and fall in love with who they are. We share a passion for skillful personal development, emotional support, & the healing arts. When you take a class with us you can expect high energy, silliness, authenticity & heartfelt presence!

We are here to support you - if you have any questions before the event please message or me!!

Hope
it was walking on a hot pavement
with bare feet
it was screaming into the darkness
waiting for someone to show up
it was cold hands and steady walks
through woods and uncovered paths
it was finding hope
in smallest shapes
it was laughs and smiles
among broken people
it was fading away
with the sun going down
it was a small light
it was fear of being abandoned
of being left all alone
powerful word
small yet powerful hope
that keeps us going on

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Here to give you hope in the messiness of human life & accept you along the journey of f*cking it up.

What if instead of striving to be ‘put together’ you ‘melted into your wholeness’

You remembered you are the radiant light that breaks apart the dark

You owned your ability to soften in the times life pushes you to harden

You bravely leap into your own shadows knowing there’s always a way home

What if you had a series of tools that helped you dance with the harder things to accept in life?

What if you could self soothe & regulate your nervous system as you tend to your darkness but long to live in your brightness?

What if you created a way of being & believing in yourself that set you free from the boxes you’ve been forced to live in?

I still have 2 spots open for my 1:1 Seasons of Awakening program before it gets a make over into a self-paced course! 🦋❄️✨🖤

This course gives you:
❄️simple meditation techniques to deal with dark / negative / overwhelming thoughts
❄️exploratory shadow work exercises to reframe & shift into having an empowered mindset
❄️nervous system regulation practices that build your capacity to feel your feelings not fix them
❄️1:1 mentorship that empowers TF outta you & challenges your to shift your perspective so you can think big & live brighter 💎💎💎

We all need to hold & be held - let me hold you in this season of your life.

Mentorship is impactful for anyone trying to be *radically honest* about what they are resisting.

When you invest in supporting yourself, you are investing in your peace, you mental well-being, your joy, your love of life.

I’ve got options! DM to talk about why you’re resisting & how I can support you! ✨

“Life gives us a bunch of choices because everything is a matter of perception. Where some see the light, others see darkness. Where some feel openness and expectation, others feel fear and danger. Where some are influenced by yin, others are dominated by yang. Where some are guided by trust, others are confined into suspicion.”-Erik Pevernagie

The universe sends lessons to see if we are willing to play with the drama, smell it, taste it, be curious to explore it.

…then the universe tests us will you feed it or will you drop it? Your ego front & center claiming the stage - your soul the director.

☯️If you want to be non-attached, you get to learn the drama of being attached.

☮️If you want to be peaceful, you have to learn the drama of chaos

🕉️If you want to be steadfast, you have to learn the drama of inconsistency

purpose is found in the lessons of the drama

it’s a natural tendency to get wrapped up - no shame in the game

But please know this , YOU ARE THE SHINY LIGHT ☀️BEHIND ALL THE DRAMA!

I hope in your moments of darkness you approach yourself with a silly mischievous attitude bringing levity into your world 🃏🎭

You are deserving of a spiritual path that tends to the garden of your darkness AND shines the rays your radiance ✨💎🦋

I’m so excited to announce I’m working on a community platform for the homies to heal together!!

Its gonna be stacked with courses on spiritual transformation, community chat spaces & live meditation + sangha get togethers! 🙈🙈🙈

Where we can geek out & experience (together!) how ancient teachings weave with modern science and pave a way for us to live in harmony!

I truly believe humans have moved mountains & done incredible things out of fear, it’s a fuel that lights a fire under our a**.

AND holy wow I dream what could be created when coming from a place of safety & out of love?

🫶🏽💕✨If we all had a space to explore who we are and what impact we are making in the world.✨💕🫶🏽

Humanity could get the grace it needs to evolve 🦋

Here’s to living Lighter + Brighter sweet friends ✨💎🦋💕☀️🤠

More to come!

💕✨🫶🏽
