Within this season of transitions and recalibration, I've been spending a lot of time in nature with all the critters I love - both domestic and wild...

There is something so profound about the teachings they offer and the medicine they bring into our lives - yet so few of us slow down enough to a wavelength that matches this form of wild communication with our non-human relatives.

Imagine all that we miss!..

Heart's Garden was always meant to be an earth based practice, but for a time, I couldn't quite conceptualize how that looked.
To be honest, it's still taking form...
As am I.
As are we.

But what I do know -more than ever- is that part of my medicine to offer this world lies in bridging the gap we've created between human and nature.

Human. Nature.
We are one in the same.
And the disconnect is where hardship began...

As winter softens, the seeds of new nature based offerings are starting to stir beneath the soil.

I can't wait to see you outside this spring. ❤️

✨️BONUS: Tell me about an encounter you've had with an animal that stuck with you, that shifted something, or that perhaps had more meaning than you've fully grasped.
Drop a photo if you have one!

It may be dead, but the grass is starting to show as the sun is getting stronger and staying longer... hallelujah! 🙌

Sometimes we have to lay amongst what's dead before we can really embrace the new life that's coming.

Get out there and getchoo sum.

🎶 We shall be known by the company we keep
By the ones who circle round to tend these fires
We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
The seeds of change alive from deep within the earth

It is time now
It is time now that we thrive
It is time we lead ourselves into the well

It is time now
And what a time to be alive
In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love 🎶..

This song by MaMuse has been ringing in my mind for days. I've known it, loved it, but it never fully sank into my bones until now.

We must begin to examine where the boundary is set when it comes to the company we keep - and why.

Further divide is not what I want. I hope it's not what any of us want, truly... but the louder it gets in this world, the brighter our true colors shine.

You've seen it. I've seen it. We've all seen it.
The pressure is on and what comes forward in the way of people's actions and words under said pressure is quite telling of the current status of their heart and soul.

As we learn to truly lead in love, we find that refusing to call out harm for the sake of perceived comfort and peace is just as damaging (to others AND SELF) as the harmful act.
We find that allowing those who blatantly spread hate and express satisfaction in the wake of another human's suffering is no longer something to be swept under the rug. That rug has been burned to ashes, my friends.

We must be mindful of the company we keep.
It can no longer be a line drawn in the sand.
Stamp that s**t in the concrete.

Boundaries and renunciation are acts of love, liberation, and true freedom for all.

Lead in love.

Love. Even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard. ❤️🙏❤️

It is said that yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self... among this journey we are guided by an 8 limbed path - the first of its branches being the yamas.
The first of the yamas, or ethical restraints, is ahimsa.

can be translated as non-harm or non-violence. Within this seemingly simple principle lies the very foundation of our yoga practice.

But what does non-violence really mean?

We often look to the obvious and relate all violence to that of a physical nature, but this concept extends beyond the obvious.

The principle of ahimsa includes avoiding harm in thoughts, words, and actions to ALL living beings.
This includes harm to ourselves as well as those around us.
Practicing ahimsa looks like compassion for self and others.

It looks like awareness and gentle redirection of thought.

It looks like mindful speech - recognizing the power and impact of our words, and it looks like actions with intention.

When we take actions, even the smallest ones, with the intent of kindness and support for all living beings on this planet - to include this living, breathing planet - we embody ahimsa.

Today, more than ever, we need to center ourselves in this principle of non-harming and compassion for all.....

There is a sanskrit mantra that floats around yoga spaces from time to time, perhaps you've heard it... it goes:

"Lokah, Samastah, Sukhino, Bhavantu."

It means:
"MAY ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE BE HAPPY AND FREE, AND MAY MY OWN LIFE CONTRIBUTE TO THAT HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM FOR ALL."

It is an expression of universal love, compassion, and interconnectedness. It is a prayer for global well-being, wishing peace, joy, and freedom from suffering for everyone.

Today, I invite you to hold this mantra and the practice of ahimsa within the depths of your heart.

Let it be your intention and guidance within your time on your mat, but more importantly, let it remain your intention and guidance in all that you do, wherever you go.
❤️🙏❤️
