Last weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the Long Dance, brought into form by Joseph Rael. It was one of the hardest spiritual practices I have ever done. We made prayer flags and banners to set our intentions for ourselves, our ancestors, and our world. We entered into a sweat lodge to purify ourselves for the ceremony. Then we danced around a sacred fire all night to the sound of the drums. During this time, we could not speak or even make eye contact. We were there to pray together and to give away our precious energy for the people, that they may be lifted into the light. It challenged me on every level.

I gained a deep and pervasive humbling of my Spirit. There are so many people suffering on this planet right now. I lay my head down in a soft comfortable bed each night. I have food and clean water to drink. There are people who love and support me. When there’s so much “to do” to make the world a better place, folks get offended by prayer. But prayer is much more than wishful thinking. It is an alignment with the ones you pray for. To make it real, you must feel their suffering. You must suffer with the world, so you know in your heart what you are praying for and why.

I pray for freedom, for all of us, and I know why in every fiber of my being.

Thank you to the Long Dance, the leaders, the drummers, the dancers, and to my own human heart for bearing witness to the beauty and the pain of this life.

Love,
Jasper Moontree

Teachers of presence come in many forms. They don’t all write books or sit on meditation cushions. Some of them wag tails and hyperfocus their senses on the emerging wonders of our earth. Pay attention to the beings that share space with you. They are your teachers and your guides.

Share a photo in the comments of your animal guru! I’d love to celebrate these wonderful creatures that come close and stay near.

There is guidance all around us. We must look and feel more deeply to allow the messages that are meant for us to come through.

Normalize saying, “I’m in a place of deep rest right now and taking the space I need to recharge.”✨

I used to make excuses for why I needed to say no to requests for time spent with others. I love my friends and family and never wanted them to feel like they weren’t important to me or a priority. I feared if I actually took the time I needed to recharge, I would be forgotten by my community and clients. So I pushed myself into saying yes at the expense of my own energy system over and over again.

In personal relationships, I believed my toxic trait was that I would almost systematically shut down and not be able to “deal” with my partners needs and emotions. This always came after one of these times where I had been pushing myself to show up when really I needed rest. I’m really stubborn so I’ve tried EVERYTHING to be able to show up for others consistently but no matter what, it always led me back to burn out and overwhelm. It took moving into my own space and living alone before I understood my own natural rhythms and realized what I’m capable of and what I’m not.

Not everyone can live alone or even wants to. But we can all normalize taking the space we need to recharge. When you do it, it tells the people in your life that they can also do it. The reality is, if we want to survive this modern world and the high level of suffering we see and feel each day, we MUST take the time needed to self heal and self soothe.

There is nothing to feel guilty about in doing that for ourselves. The guilt you feel is conditioning from a society of worth built on productivity which feeds the capitalistic mindset. The discomfort you feel is from facing yourSELF and how you are actually feeling in this moment. Both the guilt and the discomfort will subside if you give yourself enough space.

So take a bath, take a walk, say no, and carve out a weekend to do nothing except rest. It’s normal to need the space to recharge and it’s necessary for optimal well being.

Love y’all. 💞

Peace, Jasper 🌕🌲✨

As I waited for my little group of Wednesday morning yoga friends to log on this morning, I snapped this picture to remind myself how lucky I am. There is nothing that stirs more hope in my heart than spending time with other humans in such an intentional way.

If you are retired or work from home and would like to meditate on peace each week and stretch your body with very gentle yoga postures, reach out. We must do the work to heal the wars we wage within if we want to be a positive influence for peace on those around us.

Join us. Stay well. Stay grounded. You’re here to vibrate high and hold active hope in a sometimes hopeless world.
