You don't need time to practice.
You need the habit of practice.

You don't need time to learn a language. You need the habit of learning.
You don't need time to get into nature, make art, move your body. You need the habit.

Whatever is already part of your life feels easy.

The things we struggle to "find time for" are small changes that can manifest the life of our dreams.

Slow down.

Your desires deserve more than a passing thought.

Your needs, dreams and desires deserve daily contemplation.
Sitting with strategy to prepare you to one day make that decision - the one that changes your path.

What would shift if you stopped waiting for time and started building the habit?

🚨Social Media Crybabies🚨

You can intentionally create your algorithm and your user experience.

Yes - you can have power! You can LOVE social media.

Yet, like so many parts of our lives - we use these apps unconsciously - we’re running on the surface, reactive level. The culturally conditioned default.
But with “Socials” the default is baaad son.

Its designed to prey on what you can get most emotionally activated about…
(And for so many of us it’s fear, potential risk, suffering and negativity — being PUMPED into your nervous system.)

Or maybe consume until you feel empty, pressured, low-key alert and like you’ve given something away you can never get back.

Is this an area you’d like to redefine, feel empowered and clear out the trash around?

Or if you’d like to hear me discuss my relationship to socials, check out the latest Podcast Episode on Functional Spirituality.

Doing less and being more skilful is best ❤️

Yoga is not a traditional Indian practice.

It is not a singular, reliable truth that we can plug into.

There's not a special posture, mantra or breath that will bestow magical results if you do "it" right.

There's no "it".

Yoga is a lineage of many different (and sometimes opposing) practices that changes *as the cultural-socio-political context* changes.

The only thing yoga 'is', is a practice incorporating different elements (mind, body mantra, yantra, breath, goats, whatever!)
To achieve an outcome.

But that outcome is vastly different within and between yoga styles.

The many different forms of yoga we have now:
Goat, flow, hot, restorative, Vedic, zen...

Actually represents the tradition accurately.

It’s broad, always has been.

It’s histories are vast, with and without posture.

With s*x, without
With breath, without
With food, without
With ritual, without
With posture, with mantra...

To the puritans that believe they are connected to a the "traditional" or "real" yoga because you have translated English postures back into Sanskrit- You are at the beginning of your study of Yoga 🫢.

When we think the tradition, the teacher, the modality the TECHNIQUE is the reliable truth we need to devote ourselves to - we get discipline and dogma.

When we devote ourselves to the context, the body, the intention and the material and intelligence that's present here in this moment - we get alignment, depth, efficiency and the therapeutic results we are craving.

Some relationships are smoother, some are super rough, and most fall somewhere in between.

Often things can get really tight, tough, toxic.

And it can be hard to see a way through or out of the ‘fight’.

Ideally we don’t just push through, down and past it. But these conflicts create more resolution and growth. More connection, love and strength.

Fights are an amazing opportunity.

YET, it is impossible for there to be resolution and growth unless

At least ONE of the partners step out of the reactive, hurt, wounded child part,

and into a more adult, grounded, rational capacity.

There needs to be AT LEAST 1 *Adult* navigating the conflict:

✔️ Recognising that its 2 wounded parts, in conflict, desperate to have some (often just one) core need met
✔️ Asking the real questions
✔️ Creating a path of steps forward together

Otherwise its too complex, too much baggage, too confusing for two wounded children to find their way through to more connection and personal healing.

Life is a series of equations that ultimately gets answered by either yes or no.

In order to watch them smile for the first time, you give up your own peace.

To feel the bliss of watching them sleep, you give up your own.

To have their cuddles, snuggles, kisses, and I love youse, you loose intimacy with your partner.

In order to watch them clap, walk and talk for the first time, you give up your own pursuits.

You don't just receive soft skin, preciousness and memories, you give up a part of your own.

Having kids isn't adding something. It's an exchange.

A rearrange and an adjust. A process that should be natural and abundant.

Yet as modern parents we feel the sting and struggle of reconciling enjoyment and loss - without the support that was meant to be built in. Parents and families- I see you! Everyday, I feel you ❤️❤️❤️

This gentle guided meditation is an invitation to come home to your body through love, not effort.
To soften the heart.
To let the breath move through you.
To rest in the simple experience of being here.

As your nervous system settles, the body becomes a place of safety, warmth, and presence.
There is nothing to fix in your body.
Only something to listen to.

This is self love as integration.
Slow. Kind. Grounded.
A return to your most essential layer.

✨ Listen now and let your body feel met
