Most people think breathwork is harmless… but like any powerful tool, it requires understanding and respect. 🧠💨⁠
⁠
Certain prāṇāyāma techniques, especially those involving breath retention, rapid breathing, or strong internal locks, can overstimulate the nervous system, cause dizziness, or even trigger anxiety or panic in some individuals.⁠ 😵‍💫⁠
⁠
Safety in prāṇāyāma is about awareness. Start slow, keep the breath smooth and comfortable, and always prioritize stability over intensity.⁠ 😊⁠
⁠
When practiced with care, prāṇāyāma becomes one of the most effective ways to regulate the nervous system, support emotional balance, and connect with your higher self/spirituality. 🙏⁠
⁠
✨ Pro tip: How you breathe, and awareness matters just as much as what technique you’re doing.⁠

Spiritual growth is rarely loud or dramatic it reveals itself quietly, in the way we see, feel, and respond to life.

It’s the widening of awareness that recognises the threads connecting all beings. It’s meeting challenges not as burdens, but as teachers. It’s the steady peace that no external storm can shake.

It’s compassion that softens the heart, and intuition that guides us back to truth.

As Deepak Chopra reminds us, growth is not a final destination but a lifelong unfolding, a journey of aligning with our highest self and the rhythm of the universe.namaste 🙏🏻Trish

Which of these five signs do you feel blossoming within you right now?

23/11/2025

Just before dawn on November 25, something extraordinary happens — the kind of celestial moment that only appears once in many years.
The world is quiet. The sky is still blue-black. And then, slowly, the horizon begins to glow. That’s when Venus and Mercury rise together — side by side — like twin lights in the eastern sky. ✨🌕

Venus, the brightest planet we ever see with the naked eye, shines like a white-gold lantern. Beside it, Mercury, usually shy and hidden by the Sun’s glare, steps into the spotlight in a warm, amber glow. For a few rare minutes, the two inner planets align so closely that they look like they’re whispering secrets to each other above the waking world. 🌄💫

If you watch closely, you’ll notice how the sky slowly brightens around them — pink at the edges, then orange, then gold — but Venus and Mercury keep glowing, suspended above the clouds like two pearls set in the morning sky.

Astronomers call it a close approach. But to anyone who stands beneath them, it feels more like witnessing a cosmic meeting… a quiet handshake between worlds. 🌍✨
Moments like this are rare, delicate, and easy to miss. But if you rise early and look east, you’ll see something that reminds you:
the universe is always moving, always surprising, always inviting us to look up.

And for those few silent moments before sunrise, the sky belongs to Venus and Mercury alone. 🌅💛🌕

Drinking simple infused water in the morning can help awaken digestion and support hydration. Lemon water refreshes the system, chia water offers fiber and antioxidants, coconut water provides natural electrolytes, and ginger water warms the body. Each option can play a supportive role depending on your constitution and health needs.

Ayurveda teaches that warm or room-temperature drinks encourage healthy agni, making the morning an ideal time to choose liquids that support clarity and ease. These drinks are not quick fixes but simple rituals that make the transition from sleep to activity smoother. They can also reduce cravings and improve overall daily comfort.

Experiment with one type of morning water for a week and observe how your body responds. Over time, these gentle habits can make mornings feel more peaceful and energizing. Which morning drink would you like to try first? Have a wonderful Sunday to you all 🙏🏻namaste Trish

Don’t miss tonight’s sky show! 🌙 🪐

On November 23, a beautiful crescent Moon will meet Saturn in the evening sky. Just after dusk, the thin moon will glow softly above the horizon while Saturn sits nearby like a pale golden star.

If your sky is clear, look toward the southwest shortly after sunset. It’s a peaceful and rare moment worth stepping outside for—even just for a minute.

The Cold Moon — December 4, 2025 🩶🌖

Bathed in golden fire, the Cold Moon rises where autumn’s final breath meets the first frost of winter. Its amber light spills across the snow, turning silence into warmth and stillness into wonder. Beneath its glow, rivers freeze, forests shimmer, and the air hums with the quiet music of the turning year.

This moon is more than a phase — it’s a threshold. Between what has been and what’s to come, it burns softly, reminding us that even winter carries light. 🌕✨

“Serpent is the archetype of regeneration, shedding life, of death, rebirth, life, death, rebirth. It is the arche-type of lifeforce, the energy of sacred embodiment and the catalyst of your fleshy knowing. Serpent is a change maker and liberator and for me the ultimate feminist activist, who undoes religion indoctrination and untruth and reinstates within us our sacred bodily appetite, pleasure and desire.”

What’s one thing you’ve been through that secretly makes you amazing, even if no one knows?
What’s one thing you’ve been through that most people will never see, never know, and would probably never believe if you told them—but that actually proves how capable, sharp, or unshakable you are?
Maybe it was a choice you made when no one was watching. Maybe it was surviving a situation that would have broken someone else. Maybe it was quietly keeping your s**t together while the world went sideways. Whatever it is, it’s yours. It’s part of the weird, messy, fascinating self that no one else fully understands—and that makes you, frankly, kind of amazing.
Spend a few minutes naming it. Don’t polish it. Don’t justify it. Just notice it. Let yourself feel the quiet power of your own story—the parts you carry alone, that secretly make you someone the world should notice more...BEFORE YOU GO
“Don’t compromise yourself. You’re all you’ve got.”

Janis Joplin
The world will try to mold you, tell you who you should be, how you should act, what parts of yourself to hide. But here’s the truth: you are a constellation of quirks, scars, instincts, and curiosities that no one else can replicate. The things you’ve been through, the weird ways you see the world, the obsessions and passions you quietly nurture—they all belong to you and only you. You don’t have to dim your light to make someone else comfortable. You don’t have to shrink, apologize, or polish yourself into someone else’s ideal. Your value isn’t conditional. Your brilliance isn’t invisible just because it isn’t loud. It’s there, quietly radiant, waiting for you to notice it and own it.
As you step into your weekend, take a moment to remember: your weirdness, your courage, your hidden victories—they are not flaws. They are evidence that you’ve been quietly amazing all along. Don’t compromise. Don’t sell yourself short. You are all you’ve got—and that’s more than enough. Have a wonderful Saturday everyone xx 🙏🏻namaste Trish

DAILY GRATITUDE MOMENT SATURDAY
Take a moment to think of the things you are drawn to—your hobbies, obsessions, or quirky fascinations. These are not trivial; they are fingerprints of your curiosity, intelligence, and individuality. That unusual podcast you binged, the book you couldn’t put down, the hobby that makes you lose track of time—these are all evidence of the parts of you that are endlessly interesting.
Even if your interests seem small, strange, or “nerdy” to the outside world, they are windows into your essence. They remind you of the things that make you magnetic, the ideas and passions that light you up, and the uniqueness you sometimes forget to honor.
Write down one or two of these interests today, and reflect on what they reveal about who you are and what excites you. Gratitude for your own curiosities is a way of reclaiming your brilliance, appreciating the ways you are naturally fascinating, and quietly celebrating the fact that your life is full of textures, ideas, and joys that belong only to you…ONE BEAUTIFUL THING
Pause for a moment and notice the flicker in your mind—the tiny spark of fascination, the idea that made your brain light up, or the fleeting thought that caught your attention today. It could be something you learned, something you remembered, or even a question that popped into your head and refused to leave.
These sparks are reminders of your innate curiosity, your capacity for wonder, and the unique ways your mind connects dots that no one else would. Even if it seems small or trivial, it’s proof that you’re actively engaging with the world in your own remarkable way.
Take a note of it. Reflect on why it intrigued you. Let it linger for a moment. Curiosity is a sign of your alive, adventurous mind—and noticing these sparks is a way of honoring the cool, endlessly interesting person you already are. have a wonderful Saturday night 🙏🏻namaste Trish .

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION Saturday
Read it, skim it, come back when you’re ready.
I am magnetic, resilient,
and quietly extraordinary.
Every quirk I carry,
every passion I’ve followed,
every scar, every misstep,
every late-night thought
that felt too big or too strange—
they are all proof
of my depth, my courage, my uniqueness.
I trust my instincts,
even when the world doubts them.
I honor my growth,
even when it’s messy or slow.
I allow myself to feel deeply,
to laugh loudly,
to love without apology.
The parts of me the world often overlooks
are exactly the parts that shine the brightest.
I am allowed to take up space,
to make noise,
to live boldly in my own rhythm.
I release the doubt,
the small voices that say I’m not enough,
the weight of comparison,
the urge to hide my brilliance.
I am a story in motion,
a constellation of experiences,
a being of infinite curiosity,
and undeniable coolness.
Today, I remember who I am:
magnetic, resilient, deeply alive,
and quietly extraordinary…PAUSE. BREATHE. WRITE
3-8 minutes to check in with your inner rhythm
Off the top of your head (3 min): When was the last time you felt truly proud of yourself?
Spill it (5-8 min): Why don’t you acknowledge it more often? food for thought 💭 have a good evening 🙏🏻namaste Trish

ANAM CARA

In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship. One of the fascinating ideas here is the idea of soul-love; the old Gaelic term for this is anam cara. Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend. So anam cara in the Celtic world was the “soul friend.”

In everyone’s life, there is a great need for an anam cara, a soul friend. In this love, you are understood as you are without mask or pretension. The superficial and functional lies and half-truths of social acquaintance fall away, you can be as you really are. Love allows understanding to dawn, and understanding is precious. Where you are understood, you are at home.

The anam cara experience opens a friendship that is not wounded or limited by separation or distance. Such friendship can remain alive even when the friends live far away from each other. Because they have broken through the barriers of persona and egoism to the soul level, the unity of their souls is not easily severed. When the soul is awakened, physical space is transfigured. Even across the distance, two friends can stay attuned to each other and continue to sense the flow of each other’s lives. With your anam cara you awaken the eternal.

For today Saturday Mark Your Personal Mythology
Take a moment to honor the story only you could tell. Not the one you edit down to be “normal” or “acceptable,” but your own legend—the version that captures your resilience, your quirks, your obsessions, and the weird ways you’ve grown.
Write a line or two about your “legend”—a lived truth that makes your story unmistakably yours. Something that, if someone truly knew it, would instantly say: this person has depth. This person has survived. This person matters.
For example:
“I survived heartbreak, built a life I didn’t think I could, and now I notice the small joys I used to miss.”
“I failed spectacularly, learned to listen to myself anyway, and now I trust my own instincts over everyone else’s advice.”
“I’ve wandered, lost, and doubted, and yet here I am, still curious, still alive, still fiercely me.”
Your mythology doesn’t have to be epic. It can be as small as a single thread of courage, a tiny rebellion you pulled off, or the quiet persistence that keeps you moving forward.
Even 1–2 sentences can be enough to remind you: your life is its own constellation, its own story, and its own kind of cool. This helps you recognize your own brilliance, your survival, and your magnetism. You give yourself permission to see yourself clearly, to claim the coolness that’s always been there, even when you forget it.
So take your pen, your notebook, or your phone. Write down your legend. Even one sentence will do. Even one whispered acknowledgment is enough. Because your story is distinctly, unarguably yours—and that’s exactly what makes you so cool. Fuel for Your Inner Legend
Sometimes, we need a little help remembering the brilliance we already carry. This week’s picks are for the parts of you that get lost in the noise—your curiosity, your quirks, your quiet resilience, and your unapologetic weirdness.
These aren’t about fixing you or making you “better.” They’re about reminding you who you already are: magnetic, capable, and distinctly cool.Have a great evening everyone namaste 🙏🏻 Trish
