Starting is always the hardest part and as they say the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. If you have been wanting to train your mind consider this your first step.

So many people come to meditation thinking their wandering mind is a failure. In this practice, we reframed that completely. Noticing the mind has wandered is the practice.

It’s like doing bicep curls for awareness. Each noticing moment counts.

What would it be like to acknowledge effort instead of outcomes?

Comparison steals the moment.

“This breath isn’t like yesterday’s.”
“This body isn’t what it used to be.”

Tonight’s practice asks a gentler question:

As compared to what? 🌱

Every day of our lives, we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference. — Mignon McLaughlin

This weekend, I experienced a subtle shift in perspective while spending time at during the .sears workshop. Surrounded and supported by friends who share my passion for yoga, I was reminded of the profound nourishment that comes from such connections. In a world that often promotes division, it was invigorating to encounter the opposite. While I am undoubtedly sore and have indulged in an excessive amount of yoga, the experience was well worth it and I look forward to continuing to make magic in this space with these beautiful humans.
