Oh freedom… I’ve been chasing + crushing on yo

Oh freedom…
I’ve been chasing + crushing on you for a hot minute.

My definition of freedom has continues to morph throughout the years.
Freedom from rules of my parents.
Freedom from any authority.
Bosses. Borders. Relationships.
Everything that I thought was cramping me…..(or could be blamed to be doing so)

I craved freedom from mundane reality in drugs + alcohol then I needed freedom from the painful addiction of drugs + alcohol.
Pattern much?

It’s all freedom “FROM”
I was running FROM myself and trying to avoid the discomfort + anxiety that was ragging alive inside of me.

It is really freaking hard, exhausting + absolutely futile to try to get away from yourself. One of the many cliches I abhor that are blatantly true, “wherever you go, there you are.” Yeahhhhhhh. Hurpmffff.

So lots of truth seeking, shame shedding + challenging self-inquiry later - I can say that on most days, my focus leans more towards the freedom “TO”.

Freedom to meet life filter free.
Freedom to explore the world around me with open perspective.
Freedom to explore the world inside of me with wider acceptance.
To live with more more expansion than constriction and with presence on purpose.

More TO then FROM.
More IS than ISN’T.
What a big shift for such a seemingly small semantic swerve.

If you are looking to find some more space in your life & are tired of running in place, my upcoming program EMERGE may be of support.

EMERGE is an inner exploration supported by community.
An 8 week online inquiry utilizing Buddhism, Yoga, Neuroscience, Ayurveda, and compassionate inquiry to redefine wounds into wisdom.

Led my myself, @mindfulish_, @ccalvert and an incredible rockstar support team.

Please reach out with any and all questions.
I would love to take this journey with you. Link in bio.

Sweet honey words….

Sweet honey words….

𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃: 𝟕 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 (𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞!)

There are so many ways to get to know ourselves…through chaos, stillness, struggle, joy.

The diversity we each embody is endless when we allow ourselves to explore + be explored.
To be untangled and reimagined.
Sometimes it’s graceful, more often it’s not .

One the many paths I’ve found inward is through movement, esp my asana practice. Here I open up space to pull the curtains back. To move energy around so it doesn’t stick all about the nooks + crannies creating unhelpful stories.

I wiggle + swerve emotions in and out…some to be amplified, others pacified, some just witnessed.

It’s really about creating space to turn towards.
Towards all the
tangles + textures
notes + nuances
of the beautiful mess of my self(s)

You’ll enjoy a variety of styles of classes but the most important is that you’ll be creating a pattern of showing up for and checking in with YOU. Yes yes, making friends with, creating self relationship! This is what this practice is about;)

I don’t really like the word “challenge’, but that is the lexicon we are using! I encourage you to encourage you to keep coming back to your mat, noting the differences + similarities in yourself + your practice as we flow through the week. Most of all, enJOY. There is no pressure, just invitation!

I can see how important & reflexively I attempt to place ground under my feet even if it’s little more than a mirage. (Oh yeah, I have been a front row fan of a good useful delusion for a long time)

You’re likely doing it too. We are wired to seek boxes & paradigms to make sense of a confusing world. We put the unexplainable & incomprehensible into words & formats our monkey minds can grasp. We like texture & security, who wouldn’t?

This isn’t really a convenient pill to swallow (but I have a long history with getting down lots of inconvenient pills 😂) but what isn’t necessarily good news, is always good information

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫. Power in the “I don’t know mind” And when rightness is no longer a graspable or reasonable goal, how to we relax with the knowing of our lack of control?

I’m not saying we can’t make empowered choices nor that we throw our lives to the wind, but really this clarity provides permission, solid permission, to relax into our life. To trade the frantic perfectionist “it’s all in my hands” vibes for big exhales & open hearted allowances

As I write this, it feels a lot like lip service AND that it's probably one of the truest things. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐱𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐭. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐱 & 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

There is a difference in believing something and living it - that's where I am with it all. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥.

To keep showing up, checking in & relinquishing unnecessary grip over & over, then I think, I hope, the internal sands will begin to settle in a sort of remembrance, acquiring an animal body muscle memory of sweeeeet release.
