Truth🙏🏻💗☀️

Slow down. Soften. Breathe. You’re already enough.

Keep following Your inner Compass💗

She walked softly through the forest, yet her voice carried across continents.

Jane Goodall was not merely a scientist; she was a soul entwined with nature’s breath.

With patience as her compass and compassion as her creed, she listened to the whispers of chimpanzees and taught humanity to hear.

Her legacy is etched not in stone, but in the living pulse of every creature she defended.

She stood against extinction, against indifference, against despair; undaunted, unyielding.

Her eyes saw not just animals, but kin.

Her hands planted hope where others saw ruin.

And now, though she walks in flesh no more among the trees, her spirit rustles in every leaf, echoes in every call of the wild.

Let us carry her torch; not as mourners, but as stewards.

For Jane Goodall did not vanish.

She became the forest.

There is so much need in this universe. Allow yourself to come first. Give yourself the love, compassion and support you need, first. Only then can you share it with another. You cannot give from an empty cup🙏🏻💗☀️

🙏🏻💗☀️

The purpose of a yoga pose isn't the pose itself. It’s about preparing your body for stillness.

In the classical tradition, āsana was a means of creating the physical stability and ease needed for seated meditation. Why?

When the body settles, the breath slows. When the breath slows, the mind has space to quiet. And in that quiet, you begin to notice—your thoughts, patterns, sensations, and the deeper layers of your experience. You begin to witness the inextricable link between them.

This is the essence of yoga—the path of union. Cultivating awareness, not just in movement, but in stillness. From that place, you can build a profound sense of inner peace, resilience, and clarity.

Small Joys = Big Wins

Joy doesn’t have to be monumental.

A single flash of joy, like sunlight on your skin...

The taste of something sweet...

Or a laugh you didn’t see coming, can recalibrate your nervous system faster than hours of overthinking.

From the lens of integration, joy isn’t a distraction.

It’s a sign your system is finding balance, even if life is messy.

Try This: Pause for a single moment today and name a tiny joy

“I love how this tea smells.”

“This song makes me smile.”

Let yourself feel that joy for one slow breath.

Let it register.

Remember: You don’t have to earn joy.

Noticing what’s good, even for one second, is part of what makes you resilient.

Thanks for being here.

If this helped you today, feel free to forward it to someone who might need it, too.

Giving gratitude for your hands 🙏🏻

Observe the qualities of expansion and contraction
in the fingers of your hand:
surely after the closing of the fist comes the opening.

If the fingers were always closed or always open,
the owner would be crippled.

Your movement is governed by these two qualities:
they are as necessary to you
as two wings are to a bird.
