I have a very different view of what medicine is + most importantly what it isn't.
Yesterday's medicine ➡️ Yacht Yoga 🧘♀️ ✨️
I know it sounds very bougie + it was sort of. Yes, we were on a brand new yacht. Yes, there was exceptional healthy food + Chakra Frequency infused Beverages. Yes, there were photographers + videographers capturing everything. Yes, we were floating in Marina Del Ray stunning yacht community waters ✨️
Then Yin yoga started. We were tasked with an affirmation of letting go. Letting go of people, places, and beliefs - that no longer serves us. As women, we hold a lot of unexpresses emotion in our hips + reproductive area. Longing, guilt, shame, grief, fear - all the heavy hitters. The yoga teacher had us doing hip opening poses for extended lengths of time. This is where you really meet yourself. The 1st wave of uncomfortability hits (physical discomfort) BREATHE, the 2nd wave hits (mental discomfort) BREATHE, the 3rd wave hits ( emotional discomfort) BREATHE, the 4th wave hits ( sexual discomfort ) - BREATHE, the 5th wave hits ( spiritual discomfort ) BREATHE. We're now 7 minutes into Pigeon Pose - a deep hip opener when we're finally ready to let go 😢 of all of it. All of the denial, lies, illusions, + fantasies stripped away. Nothing but the truth of exactly what IS stands before us.
LET GO ✨️✨️✨️
A downward dog pose to get back to center.
Then, child's pose to support. Support your body, support your mind, support your soul. An extra long hug to yourself that you made it. You didn't cave in to the discomfort, while swaying on a boat in the ocean with the sun shining on you ✨️ The elements hard at work with your flow of energy. Nothing bougie at all about this process. Syvasana to be still in mind, body + spirit. The final release.
NAMASTE ✨️
