Sukha Yoga with Emmie Stamell

06/04/2020

Hi, Everyone. We’d like to help. Very much. I personally wish to contribute to much more than the amount I currently can and so would Emmie. So... we really, really hope this works. We are offering 2 Ayurvedic Consultations in this raffle-style fundraiser. Every $10 you donate to counts as one entry. Just send a screen shot of your contribution receipt to either of us in a private message. We will tally up the entries, and draw 2 names. ⚫️
Heather’s Work: Ayurvedic Therapeutics are heavily based in diet, utilizing food as medicine. An elaborate system of clinical herbalism, detoxification, breath work, meditation, and daily routine are also major elements of an Ayurvedic Consultation. An appointment with Heather is usually $108.
⚫️
Emmie’s Work: see first Comment below & link in bio.
An appointment with Emmie is usually $150. ⚫️
Taking care of ourselves makes us more effective in the world, more able to perform the actions that are needed for racial justice now, and for the long term. We want to help bolster up our community and offer as much support as we possibly can. ⚫️
Thank you. We love you.
Heather & Emmie

As I walked by the river last night I came to a bend in the path & a couple walking their dog was coming toward me. They didn’t see me right away and the man recoiled at my presence physically and verbally. “Woah! Hang on a sec,” he said as he stepped away from me, even though we had more than 6’ between us. “Do you have your mask on?” He asked his wife. She did. They were protecting themselves in a way that felt comfortable to them in proximity to me, a potential COVID-carrying threat. Intellectually I understood his reaction and emotionally it struck right through my heart and I cried walking home. Today, thinking about and ALL people of color in this country I realized that in 38 years of living that was my FIRST time experiencing what it feels like to be minding one’s own business and have your very existence be a threat to others. The fleeting hurt I felt was painful, and it isn’t a fair comparison by any means to the regular heartache and inevitable anger black people, in particular, are exposed to daily. I love you all. May we come together as humans and live up to our potential to deeply care for one another as brothers and sisters and children of our shared Mother Earth.

A couple tips and perspective on springtime from Ayurvedic medicine and me!

Im looking forward to it being warm enough to go barefoot 🦶 on these rocks. Did you know that not walking barefoot limits ankle and foot range of motion, and this has widespread health implications for the whole body?

It’s not easy to live with reality. But where did we get the idea it should be easy?! It’s beautiful and ugly, joyous and dreadful. Cultivating a willingness to LIVE the vicissitudes of life changes everything. This is really what meditation is all about — it’s the most courageous & healing practice I know.

I talk with clients all the time about the widespread, misguided belief that deeply caring for oneself, and doing the things to take care of oneself is “selfish.”
•
This fear of “selfishness” being equated with prioritizing one’s own well being gets exposed big time in parenthood when the demands to care for others becomes exhausting & exhaustive. So many parents are chronically depleted.
•
And yet, as says, separation is illusory. The better I treat myself the better off my loved ones are.
•
How do you define selfishness? How do you find the balance of self care and caring for others? What’s challenging for you? What’s working well? Comment here! ⬇️

Let’s harness the New Year Resolution vibes without the pressure.
•
This is a fun, FREE, weeklong group that I’ll host to start 2020 off brilliantly!
•
Guidelines: Eliminate ONE (1) substance or behavior that is not in your best interest for the first week of the new decade. (What’s the thing you want to try going without? I invite you to get curious about “who am I without _____ ?” (fill in the blank: coffee, getting the last word, alcohol, Netflix before bed, social media etc etc.)
•
Don’t bite off more than you can chew is the name of the game. No pressure, no judgment, just an open invitation to come as you are and try leaving something behind for a week, with support. I’ll create a Facebook group for participants to connect with me and one another.
•
Message me by December 31 and you’re in! Let’s (Not) Do This! 💫

Wouldn't it be nice to use our minds instead of being used by them?! Meditation helps🙏

This excerpt from a Wordsworth poem describes what my experience of meditation and shivasana (deep relaxation) evoke:
"that blessed mood,
In which the burthen of the mystery,
In which the heavy and the weary weight
Of all this unintelligible world,
Is lightened: - that serene and blessed mood,
In which the affections gently lead us on, -
Until, the breath of this corporeal frame
And even the motion of our human blood
Almost suspended, we are laid asleep
In body, and become a living soul:
While with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things."

Ayurveda (literally, “the science of life”) offers invaluable healthcare guidelines for attuning ourselves more consciously to nature’s rhythms...

Dear Friends,
We find ourselves nearing summer’s end so I put together a "cheat sheet" guide for supporting a smooth transition to Fall. Here it is: http://www.sukhayoga.org/articles/
It's important to align ourselves with nature's rhythms, especially during the transitions when our immunity is vulnerable to shifts. I hope you find it useful, and that you'll join me for some upcoming workshops for more in-depth discussions and practices. The first is Sept. 26 at Tranquility Yoga in Westford with Charlotte Ott. We will be talking about self-care practices, yoga and philosophy for the cold months. Then I'll teach on October 25th at The Arlington Center about Ayurveda and balancing vata. Lastly, Charlotte and I team up again on Nov. 7th at BareSole Yoga in Carlisle to talk about Ayurveda and Hormonal Balance. Hope to see you soon. Enjoy!
