Gone are the days of spirituality as self-serving, individualized paths.

Now is the time to recognize spirituality and growth as collective.

No, this does not mean you get to ignore nor dissolve “self.” Rather, it’s about knowing “self” as part of the collective.

Healing, as a collective (Self included).
Awakening, as a collective (Self included).

🧘🏽❤️🌲🌎

Join me in our Earth Embodiment Circle, held 2x monthly to participate in practice and collective weavings as we remember ourselves as part of a whole: one that is healing, awakening, and otherwise transforming as One.

Practice
Take a moment to pause.
Feel your feet on the floor.
Feel your seat in your chair.
Breathe deeply, with ease, for several slow breaths.
Let your body be filled with breath:
Your lungs, your abdomen…
All the way down to your root.
Be filled with breath.

Then,
let go of your focus on your breath and body,
and open your awareness.
Listen. Receive.
What is here for you to know?
What is here for you to do?
Do not dive straight into the first thing that pops into your head.
Rather, sit for several minutes.
Breathing.
Listening.
Listen, out there.
Listen, within.
What do you hear?
What do you feel?
What do you know?
Sit still and listen.
Then, when it is time to do so, respond.

Get outside. Move your body.
It isn’t the complete recipe for good health and a good life, but it’s sure a great start.

We root as we rise.

We ascend as we deepen into what is already here, now, to be experienced in joy, in hurt, and in whatever it is that is here to be known.

Because this moment now is what really matters. AND, our ability to look forward, and to call upon the now to set ourselves up for what is to come, this matters.

Your breath is your greatest guide and companion into your embodiment - that is, your felt, sacred connection with Self.

Everything you need: it begins here, with conscious connection to your body; to your whole Self.

Let your breath guide you with this practice. As you do, start simple. From there, we can dive into all those fancy techniques (if they serve). However, for now, start simple. Let one single grounding breath be the thing that sets you on your embodied path forward.

Let’s discuss how we can work 1:1 in my Embodiment Coaching space, meeting you exactly where you’re at while finding those exact practices that help you to heal, grow, and expand.

What is Embodiment?

Em - Bodied: To be present, centered in one’s body.

An ancient way of being, one that has been held within traditions across the globe and is now re-emerging into collective consciousness as a movement away from the overly patriarchal, mind-over-matter worldview that has been largely adopted in industrialized worlds, and into a more holistic, aligned way of living.

Embodiment is the natural state of being for us human beings. It is not a novel idea, but it also is not a call to “go back to the way things were.” Instead, it is a call to deepen into all of the wisdom that is available to us in these modern times, and with it, to cultivate an internal state in which we are more grounded, centered, and aligned than humanity has ever been.

As we move towards the shortest day of the year, we honor the balance of the light and dark in our lives.

We are here at the longest night. It may have you feeling down, disconnected from the way you want to be expressing in this world. Honor this. Do what you are able to be present with it.

Then, try leaning into the deeper truth beneath this:

❤️‍🔥 What lives deeper within, asking for the light from your own consciousness so that it may rise? ❤️‍🔥

Soon, the days will begin to get longer. This is the returning of the light!

Know that it doesn’t happen all at once. It takes time, just like anything real and meaningful in life takes time:
❤️ To heal
🌲 To grow
❤️‍🔥 To transform

This solstice, it’s time to go within so that you may shed what you are ready to shed, and to plant seeds for this next grand cycle of your life.

Dear friends, as I write this we are moving towards the New Moon in Sagittarius, which soon will be followed by the Winter Solstice.

While society might tell you this is a time of busyness - working frantically to keep up with all your work while you simultaneously travel and/or spend enormous amounts of time with friends and family - well, the truth is this:

This New Moon and Winter Solstice is a time of slowing down and going inward.

I recorded a practice to guide you inward, deep into your own soulful depths: the only space from which you can become fully in tune with your soul fire; with your soul truth.

I almost did it again—pushed myself to launch something big by January 1st, racing against a timeline that doesn’t serve anyone.

But here’s what I know: the deep heart of winter isn’t meant for pushing forward. It’s meant for going within.

So instead of forcing, I’m practicing what I preach. And I’m inviting you to join me.

Stillness Speaks is a self-paced program I created last winter for anyone who knows they need to slow down but finds it damn near impossible to actually do it.

Because our nervous systems have been wired for constant doing. Society rewards it. We’ve been programmed for it.

This program gives you tangible, embodied practices to rewire that pattern—so stillness becomes natural, not forced.

Finding stillness is the most importantly practice of our age.

Yes, they keep telling you that you have to speed up! That there is more for you to do in this world that keeps spinning faster and faster.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but I promise you this: You will not get to where you are best meant to go if you can’t:
- slow down
- release the unskillful patterns you are holding
- come into alignment
- receive the clarity that guides you where you are ready to go

It begins here and now with a stillness practice. Upwardslopes.com/stillness
