SPACIOUSNESS

One of the tendencies that I notice in myself (you might relate) is the tendency to pattern in feelings and thoughts that constrain the way I show up in life.

Spaciousness in our minds, psyches, and nervous systems allows for new ways of being perceiving, thinking, speaking, and acting to emerge.

Practices, like the one I share in this video, engage our systems on multiple levels to create this quality of spaciousness.

Live to Love,

Jessica

Videocard from Kerala, India & mini-practice (minute 4.26). We begin by nourishing our bodies and attending to our nervous system to open up our capacity for generative reflection. Then, we and engage our inner awareness to attend to something we are resisting. - https://mailchi.mp/e4f869746170/leaning-in-transformation-professional-spaces-10354244

OFFERINGS

The morning I departed Mandrem, I offered a gift to
sand
sea
sun
breezes
in gratitude to all the beings that made this journey possible.

As I built this offering,
I lifted up
each of the dear
souls who shared
the embodied journey
wove us through,
moving
breathing
feeling
listening
into
Devotion
Service
Illumination
Courage
Wisdom
Love
Care

As I turned the wilting garland
we received in our opening puja into a ,
I saw each of them
in my minds eye
living with heart & soul
into the leaps forward
they felt emerge
in their practices.

Communities of practice are spaces of grace and beauty that allow each of us to be held
with love and support as we heal, explore our growth edges, and resource ourselves to meet the challenges we face in our personal lives and that we’re facing in our communities.

I’m psyched to offer a Journey with Tanja in Portugal, 27 June - 2 July. Check out the link in my bio to join us.

Blessings and appreciation for Day, whose book, movement, and programs is an inspiration and gift to the world!

ANAM CARA

“The one you love, your anam cara, your soul friend, is the truest mirror to reflect your soul… Friendship is always an act of recognition.” John O’Donohue

John O’Donohue’s book titled Anam Cara, referencing the concept of anamchara, a word in Irish monasticism referring to a monk’s teacher, companion or spiritual guide, struck a chord of longing in my heart when I first read it.

Then, I was a young woman carrying into adulthood a longing for relationships with the depth, inspiration, and mutuality he articulates so beautifully.

Since then, cultivating anam caras with and among women - friendships based in mutual recognition, inspiration and collaboration has been a commitment of mine.

It is a commtiment born out of a desire to shift a common aspect of mainstream socialization that sets girls and women up to compare themselves to one another according to standards of beauty and being that so often stifle mutual recognition of our unique gifts and empowerments.

A crucial aspect of the story that Tanja, a beloved anam cara of mine, is weaving for our group of retreaters here in Goa this week is the essential role that the kaylama mitra (spiritual friendship in Sanskrit) between Hanuman and Jambhavan plays in one of Hanuman’s epic acts of service. At a critical moment of immense challenge Jambhavan appears to remind Hanuman of the empowerments he has… empowerments that were born out of his wounds and which are essential to fulfilling his purpose.

Today, as Tanja guided us through an embodiment of the epic story through postures, breath, mantras, and mudra, every cell of my being is flush with the loving empowerment of the soul friendships I have with extraordinary women within which we recognize in each other our unique gifts, intelligence, creativity, and deep soul beauty.

I feel deep gratitude for each of my beloved anam caras who, like Jambhavan, lovingly remind me at crucial and difficult moments of my gifts and empowerments. 🙏🏼😘

And, I feel so much love and appreciation for Tanja for being a divine anam cara - kaylama mitra and collaborator! I am so excited to continue to create together. 🙏🏼😘

TOUCH

Beings need caring touch.

Most of us live in cultures where our capacity to give and receive caring touch has been diminished by the imposition of, gendered, racialized, sexualized, and classed hierarchies of difference and domination that have been passed down generationally.

Disrupting and dismantling objectifying and exploitative ways of being in relationship with one another and the beings we reside among is necessary to reclaim the sweetness of relations based in mutuality.

If you desire to live in a world where mutual respect and reciprocal care characterize all interactions, take up the task of recognizing how these social codes function inside of you and manifest in how you regard and treat the beings you encounter, which includes the choices you make when you consume food, goods, services, and investments.

Let us enact a revolution in relations to undo what has been done to us and all the precious beings who we live alongside.

We can do this in our very close personal relationships as well as in our public interactions and transactions.

There are a lot of organizations that offer guidance on how to make choices that do not harm or degrade life, and our precious ecosystems.

My beloved friend @ Otistgehandsomehound (check out his amazing work and follow) is an advocate who offers guidance on how to fight against animal testing, and cruelty to animals. Otis recommends supporting PETA, Beagle Freedom Project, and Cruelty Cutter, which is a tool that allows you to scan any barcode and get information about whether they are cruelty free.
