Yesterday:

I ate lentil ‘potato chips’ for my protein.
My screen time was 5 hours and 9 minutes.
My iPhone steps were 652.
I worried about money.
I fantasized about a man who is totally inappropriate for me.
I found a pimple on my chin.

I WAS CONVINCED IF YOU KNEW THIS, I WAS A FAILURE.

Today:
I will count how many likes this post gets.
The amount of likes at some point will make me either congratulate or question my worth.
I will feel foolish doing both.

I will worry if you know the truth of all of this, I am unlovable.

AND

I will remember that BEING WHO I AM is an opportunity...
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE PLACES I AM AFRAID AND RETURN TO THE ONLY TRUTH I REALLY CAN KNOW:

LOVE

The joy I’m looking for begins here.Now.

I love yoga. It is my one reliable, go-to way not just to feel good, but to make my way through my days. Heck, not just my days, my LIFE!
When I come to my mat, I get to attend to all the parts of me: the body — its aches, hungers, and edges; the mind — its attitudes, self-talk, judgments, and fears; and the spirit — that aspect of myself I know is always with me, but which seems to need a pause to connect with outside of my regular life. And it all comes together into a practice that organizes me from the inside out.
When I travel, the very first thing I do is look for the closest studio.
This has become such an entrenched part of my life that I barely noticed when, recently in South Africa, I prioritized a morning class over visiting a much-desired site. Because what I knew then — without even thinking about it — was that without my practice, the site wouldn’t have been as meaningful or as pleasant as it would be with it.
Yoga doesn’t just change how I feel — it changes how I move through life.
Yoga isn’t just about the body.
It’s about how we live in it — with more ease, power, clarity, and joy.
I’m teaching again. JOIN ME @ MANGALA STUDIO IN MAKAWAO
(P.S. I did make it to the site. It was awesome. And when it came time to stand and marvel at the view, not only did my legs and back feel great, but my spirit was peaceful enough that even on that epic line to get in, I was still giddy.). ❤️🙏🏽

I was talking with friends back on the mainland this weekend, and hearing the same thing over and over: fatigue, tension, disconnection, overwhelm, and an urge to just be still and do nothing.

I don’t have a clear answer about the bigger picture or what this moment is asking of us.

But I do know this:
I am living THIS MOMENT in THIS BODY, and this body IS my experience of the moment.

When the mind is confused or the heart feels uninspired, we don’t have to figure anything out.

We can let the wisdom of the body lead.

Here is a small practice to come back into that wisdom and let it heal, even when the world feels uncertain.

Nothing to fix. Just the body, doing what it knows how to do.

Let Your Body Lead

19/01/2026

Let Your Body Lead 🌿

Even when life feels heavy, consider there is nothing to fix.

In times of stress, the body often holds more than we realize — not because something is wrong, but because it’s been doing its job: protecting, bracing, adapting.

Gentle stretching is one of the simplest ways we can support the body’s natural intelligence.
Slow, easy movement gives the nervous system the sensory information it needs to settle, soften, and return toward balance.

This short practice is an invitation to move with kindness, to listen instead of push, and to let the body lead for a moment.

You don’t have to do it perfectly.
You don’t have to go far.
Just move gently, rest when you’re ready, and notice what shifts.

Your body already knows how to restore balance.

Tonight’s the night. 💛

We’re gathering for Expanding Female Sexuality — an evening that invites you to understand, reclaim, and celebrate the brilliance of the female body.

Most of us were never taught the truth about our own anatomy — how arousal actually works, the full structure of the cl****is, the role of the female prostate, or how deeply pleasure is wired into our vitality and confidence.

Andrew Barnes brings over 35 years of experience in Ta**ra, Taoist practice, and sexual health to reveal what’s been hidden, repressed, and misunderstood for centuries.
It’s grounded, fascinating, and honestly… liberating.

This isn’t theory — it’s a taking back of the body as wise, powerful, and beautifully designed for pleasure.

**ra

08/11/2025

This talk invites both women and men into a fresh, clear, and often surprising exploration of female sexuality.

Drawing from his book “Demystifying Female Genitalia” and over 35 years of experience in Ta**ra, Taoist practice, and sexual health, Andrew reveals the myths, misunderstandings, and missing information surrounding women’s anatomy, pleasure, and or**sm.

Using vivid imagery, scientific research, and real-life examples, he illuminates how female sexuality has been represented, repressed, and reclaimed — and why understanding it is key to deeper freedom and connection for us all.

This is a grounded, respectful lecture. Nothing experiential - just solid, eye-opening information and conversation.

Discover the full structure of the cl****is and its central role in pleasure.

Learn the truth about the G-**ot, female prostate, and lubrication.

Distinguish between ej*******on, squirting & cervical or**sm.

Understand common blocks to pleasure - and how to overcome them.

At its heart, de-armouring opens the flow of sexual energy — the same life force that animates all vitality, creativity, and connection.

This Level One experience does not involve ge***al touch; rather, it offers a profound initiation into the body’s innate capacity for freedom and aliveness — a foundation for deeper explorations of sexuality and intimacy.

Join me and Andrew for a short live Q&A tomorrow (Sunday, Nov 2) where he’ll share how Ta***ic Body De-Armouring supports the body in releasing stored tension and reopening the natural flow of life force and vitality.

The Q&A will be short (about 20 minutes), so please arrive on time.

Sunday, Nov 2 @ 9am HST / 2pm EST

DM me for the Zoom link.

I love men. I love women.
I love familiar. And I love difference.

Mostly, I love to live as ferociously in the moment as I can tolerate and look for Love to guide me.

Sometimes I want wild passion. Sometimes I want quiet tenderness.

Sometimes I want to go right; sometimes I want left.

One day I crave control, the next I want surrender. Heck, forget about the next day - how about the next moment?

WHOLENESS REQUIRES CONTRADICTIONS.

June is PRIDE month - a time for the LGBTQ+ community to be seen, supported and given equal opportunity to live and love openly.

And while the country strains against civility, choice, and even democracy itself, it feels more important than ever to stand for personal freedom. Life is made of grey and in betweens. To want and BE different things - with the freedom to choose - is the foundation of being human.
***************
Sexuality is not just what body part we put with another body part. Sexuality is an expression of our most vital and tender truths - one of the most personal ways to live and BE oneself.

Today, I stand for the freedom to follow the guidance of my body - to know what is most genuinely my self - and to act in accordance with that truth.

I stand for the freedom to be a paradox - knowing one truth while the opposite exists - and welcoming the perfectly imperfect continuum of grey.

I stand for the freedom to be unafraid to live - and love - openly as I do.

I stand for the freedom to live in a world that celebrates our differences. Together.

I stand for all these freedoms for YOU.
And for everyone.

SHARE IF YOU REFUSE TO LET SOMEONE ELSE TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE.

SHARE IF YOU STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY.

SHARE IF YOU BELIEVE LOVE IS LOVE.

WHAT WE FEEL IS REAL
One of the most enduring pains of being assaulted is having It disbelieved or diminished.
I have been looked in the face by my perpetrator and told my experience was not real.
When confronted, he said he had no idea what I was talking about, I was mistaken, and my association with “feminists” had corrupted my memory.
For years after, I felt a kind of a madness - a howling, agonized rage that my pain was not acknowledged.
Fantasies of accountability were strong. I dreamed of making him confess and apologize. I saw him tied up, listening to me recount the ways my life had been affected, how his behavior had harmed my ability to love, feel safe, BE ME…I desperately wanted to have my pain validated.
It never happened.
But I have come to understand
*I* NEED TO VALIDATE ME.
I spent my life utterly dismissive & at war with my own experience.
I was the queen of numbing myself to make sure I did not feel the Truth of my Self. I mastered the art of disassociation, disconnection, & smiling, smiling, smiling…
And really, the world was only too happy to agree; so much easier to love a nice girl than one who was raging.
This is not the sole purview of survivors.
We are all taught to distrust our own experience:
Hungry? It doesn’t matter. Skinny is better than sated.
Pants too tight? It doesn’t matter. They make your ass look smaller.
Tired? It doesn’t matter. There are more people to take care of.
Angry? It doesn’t matter. Good girls don’t get mad.
Hurt? Smile anyway.
Sexualized?
Disempowered?
Stripped of your rights?
Attacked? It doesn’t matter. This is the way of the world.
IT DOES MATTER.
ALL OF IT.
What you feel, and who you are, MATTERS.
And you don’t need anyone else to tell you so.
In a world which no longer knows what is “fact” or “false”, perhaps truth is something we have to discern and acknowledge inside… our own inner compass.
YOUR BODY DOES NOT LIE.
WHAT YOU FEEL IS REAL.
Does this resonate?
If so, join me…
Take a breath.
Drop your shoulders.
Lift your sternum.
Engage your core.
Look straight ahead.
I KNOW MY TRUTH.
FROM THIS PLACE, I CHOOSE
FROM THIS PLACE, I AM
FROM THIS PLACE , I LOVE

Ready, Set....

17/10/2024

I always felt most fat when I was most unhappy.

When things were hard in my marriage, it seemed every night after the kids were in bed and I would journal, I would describe how gross, or bloated, or disgusting I felt. How FAT.

This would, of course, inevitably be after I had eaten the bread, or pasta, or Lucky Charms (I know, I know) - whatever comfort food I could find - and the more the better, because the more I ate, the less I would feel.

The trick is it wasn’t just after eating…

Anytime I was stressed, or frustrated, or angry, I would be particularly savage towards my body. Those were the times I would be most disgusted with the cellulite, spider veins, post pregnancy body and all the “extra pounds” I was convinced I was carrying.

Really, I spent most of my life like that.

I remember distinctly being a freshman in high school when the boy I liked (that super cool senior!) was dismissive of me, and looking down at my legs during school assembly and obsessing over how my thighs spread across the chair (keep in mind I was probably medically underweight at the time).

My stress and unhappiness correlated to the amount of discomfort and shame I felt about my body.

More pointedly, the unhappiness itself seemed to be correlated to me not living and being who I wanted to be. (The senior was a renegade musician - a sexy, sensual, brilliant thinker who seemed to live life wildly and out loud - and oh how I wanted a piece of that!)

Really, I wanted him because I wanted that for ME.

The trick is as humans - and women in a world which has reduced our bodies to commodities or appearances - we have lost access to the very thing which gives us the opportunity to LIVE the way we crave.

MY BODY IS THE EXPRESSION OF MY SELF, AND WHEN I CONNECT TO ITS NEED AND DESIRE, I CONNECT TO MY TRUTH.

When I hate my body, I paralyze my sovereignty.

Can you see it in the photo?
Curled into the self disgust that was for so much of my life my most persistent experience, I robbed myself of who I could be and the life I could have…

Journaling late at night about my fat, sitting in school assembly obsessing about the size of my thighs, attacks the very thing that IS Me.

How I relate to my body is how I relate to my self.

And today, I want me to be Fiercely alive. Fully expressed.

A sexy, sensual, brilliant thinker who lives life wildly and out loud.

The Practice of Now knows your body is brilliant. With every breath you take, your body has thousands of systems working to keep you healthy and well. Your biology—your very Being – is always moving toward evolution, growth, and repair. You cannot stop it if you try: the cut will close, the bone will knit, the muscle will stretch.

And you don't have to do anything. Fundamentally, you are a somatic genius—a master of bioengineering and love. In fact, at heart, you are divine—uniquely gifted and endowed with soul. (So kiss your elbow, and wave to your big toe. They are prodigies of profundity!)

Sometimes you disconnect from your radiance. It may have been stolen by trauma, or mislaid along the way.

“I have an eating disorder.”

“I suffer from memories of childhood abuse.”

“I feel trapped in my anger/sadness/depression.”

“I am stuck in an unhealthy relationship or patterns of behavior.”

"I am ready to move forward, but am not sure how.”

There are many ways life experiences can make the body a place of suffering.

With the Practice of Now, you find out not just how to free the suffering in your body, but how celebrating your body can make you free. You learn that your body is the way home to you, and to the best of yourself: your power, your insight, your creativity, your passion, your capacity to heal.
