The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer
Thank you mom for letting me know about this book! And it was also a recommended reading for the Meditation Teacher Training I just took!
I also just got the 52 card deck (like I don't have enough decks already! Hee hee).
If you would like me to pull a card for you send me an email and I will send you a picture of both the reading on the back and the card title on the front. xo
Hello Beautiful People! 💕
I realize that the current pandemic, with its isolation and social distancing, has caused individual and collective loss and stress. If this is something you have experienced, please know that I hear you, I feel you and that you are not alone.
I strongly believe that connection is needed for our emotional and physical well-being. And I have also found that movement and mindfulness practices have been effective in reducing the stress of separation while opening our minds to other creative ways of supporting our need for connection.

Insert a self-high five here!
I did it! I completed the Advanced Teacher Training with the Lifestyle Meditation Academy! During a time of dealing with so many ups and downs with my business having to shutdown, then opening with a new space, then closing again and losing another space, this training was perfectly timed. It took me on such a ride of personal growth, self-inquiry, vulnerability and acceptance of all of it. I am really excited to share more meditations with you, the science behind it and the proven benefits it offers.
I connected with new friends and reconnected with soul sisters I have known for many years. It was so nice to have the commitment each week with all of these beauties.
Whether you want to teach or not, this training offers the education to do that and so much more. There is deep personal growth that occurs that changes a person forever.
I know the next training is filling up already. It starts September 16. Head to this link to explore the training or to register. Please let them know you are registering through me so that you receive a special discount.

Also if you’re interested, my most recent meditation that I recorded is in The Wellness Membership and is called: A Meditation Practice to Move Anxiety & Fear of the Unknown.
If you want to access it for free you can do that through the free 7 day trial the membership offers here.
I know that yoga, fitness and meditation are crucial in maintaining optimal health. I know all of this to be true because I experienced many health challenges due to years of chronic stress in trying to support a family member who struggled with mental illness. And then it became even more difficult in trying to be an advocate for them when they had to be moved to long term care.
Talk about a system that needs to change as it added so much more stress that could have been easily prevented. It is a system where you try to be a voice for those who don’t have one and even yours is not heard most of the time. It was truly a constant battle and I still have deep sadness seeing that once someone goes in they lose all of their independence and there is no proactive health and compassion care. It is facility based care not resident based care and if a senior doesn’t fit within what is easiest to take care of (wheelchair bound) and will cost the least amount of money, they are singled out and sent away.
Chronic stress from that experience did a number on me. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, adrenal fatigue, hair loss, weight gain and anxiety attacks that made my arms go completely weak and I could not use them until the sensation went away. What kept me grounded were my meditations and mindfulness sessions including yoga, mindful walks and yoga nidra meditations 1-3 times a day. Without these tools, I would have completely burned out. My experience of taking even just 5 minutes a day made a huge difference and as I continue with my meditation practice, it feels like a complete reset. I feel so grounded and replenished afterwards and that I have experienced deep healing.
