The dilemma of human suffering...

I just returned from a week long trip in Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

I waited 10 months for this trip…excited for new experiences. Within a few days of my trip, I started missing my home, my dog, my workouts and my bed. I was still having a good time but was getting home sick. Now that I am home, I am longing for the next getaway.

Sigh…the cycle of suffering..

It took me some processing to recognize the dilemma that we face as human beings..we are never in the present moment..always longing for something that is not here.

After my morning meditation and journaling, I recognized how I was disconnected from the present moment (thoughts and resulting feelings of attachments and aversions) and the nature of impermanence that all that we perceive and experience as real and permanent is just a fantasy. The clinging is what causes suffering. The real work is to become aware of the ebb and flow of life, abide in the permanent presence of pure awareness, and not get caught up in the highs and lows..

Yay or Nay 🤔

I have always played safe when it comes to my hair. First time in 51yrs, I took a chance on a new hair color (lighter) than my usual comfort zone. What do you think?

Live life outside the norm 🙌🏽

My favorite kind of meal is a bowl with good portions of healthy protein, carbs, veggies and dressing.
I have made burrito bowl with chicken and beans, asian bowl with salmon and edamame and greek bowl with chicken and veggies. All with a side of brown or white rice or quinoa, and a delicious dressing.
Today the menu features a bowl or with a variety of vegetarian elements and it tastes heavenly 😋

The last few days have been tough. We can all feel the fear...our food is contaminated...our air is contaminated...we are seeing climate change like never before with extreme heat conditions...not going to lie...it did affect me like everyone else.
In spite of having my daily practices to stay present, I struggled. I needed to take a step back to feel the fear, discomfort, uncertainty and process it.

With social media and constant news updates at our fingertips, we are being bombarded by more and more scary news from every direction. It is causing stress and anxiety for many.
I felt completely disconnected from my inner essence which felt like someone took the life force out of me.

I had to sit with my thoughts and feelings and "remind" myself of the impermanence of everything. I had to relearn how to accept life as it is comes and surrender to it understanding that the core lesson here is ...nothing is here to last...good and bad. It is all the perception of our senses and our attachment to the good and aversion to the bad.

These are the core practices that I keep returning to and can actually control when I feel fear, anxiety or my sense of not feeling safe rattles me.

🧘‍♀️Daily gratitude- even for the same small mundane things
🫁Breath awareness- grounds me and brings me back to the present moment freeing myself from mental noise
🍽💧🏃‍♀️Healthy lifestyle- eating well, hydration and movement to build my immune health
😴 Sleep- where all the magical things happen
✍️ Journaling- put my thoughts to paper before they consume me.

My deep bond with Buddha began at age 7 or 8...
His presence and Grace continues to bless my life, guide my purpose and bring light to my sense of being.

Buddha means "the enlightened one". His birth name was Siddhartha. He was a prince born in riches. You would think he should be perfectly happy with zero worries..forever.

But, his compassionate and empathetic heart deeply felt the suffering of his community and the world. To find the root of the suffering, he sat under a to meditate and went into complete silence.
He found that the root of human suffering was in the minds.

Constant addiction with thinking and creating mental narratives and beliefs is the root of human suffering. When we sit with ourselves without distractions, we observe our thoughts for what they truly are...just energy. Detaching from thoughts and resting in the space behind the thoughts brings clarity and ability to access true inner wisdom. Once we are able to rest in that space permanently and move through life with ease recognizing the impermanence of everything we perceive as real including our thoughts, we become enlightened.
This is called Buddha nature and we are all capable of acquiring.
It just depends if one is ready to find the root of their suffering.
One thing I know for sure is that the cure for our suffering is not in...
💊 pill or substance
🍸 alcohol
💄aesthetics
🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️performance
🛒shopping
🤳📱social media
🏖vacations
These are just temporary fixes that give us a momentary high, distraction or numbness.
The long-lasting sustainable cure is behind silence, stillness and journaling the energy as it rises.

Beautiful testimony from one of the Costa Rica Yoga Retreat participants.
This is what fuels the fire of my path and purpose. The breakthroughs that these beautiful souls have experienced makes my heart so full with gratitude and love.

I just laid out the path. The participants chose to do the work. They dug deep, went through the darkness of putting pen to paper to open up their wounds, trusted and went all in whenever I threw a challenge at them.
The freedom that they experienced on the other side cannot be explained in words but it was obvious from their faces. ✨️
They came in heavy and left light.

This is exactly the work. This is not for everyone. Only the ones who have nothing to lose and are ready to purge it all and free themselves from decades of living under false beliefs and carrying traumas that was never theirs to begin with. This work is only for the ones who recognize that and are willing to put it all down, once and for all. Getting down and dirty with sweat and tears.

Cannot wait to share more as we continue to walk this path together, hand in hand. ♥️

Delicious Restorative Yoga from yesterday.
Slept solid. Good sleep data from

Sleep is fleeting as we get older. Kids moving out, empty nesters, life purpose, hormonal shifts, drop in melatonin, aging parents, etc. can create havoc and keep our cortisol spiked even while we are trying to sleep and recover. Over time, our bodies and brains do not recover enough affecting our metabolic health and cognition.
As we get older, we have to become more intentional about our sleep hygiene...something I shared before in many posts.

I added this class just for that reason....intentional rest where we are not actually sleeping but allowing out bodies and minds to rest while fully awake. This kind of practice acts as a prelude for the big event of sleep.
🔽Helps lower cortisol,
😌Relaxes the sympathetic drive
😊Activates parasympathetic nervous system
✨️Stimulates the nerve (associated with all things recovery and digestion).

Give it a try. Tomorrow at 7pm EST.

Hope everyone is staying hydrated during this heat wave sweeping through the east coast.

💡

Add a small pinch of pure Himalayan pink salt to every 16 ounces of filtered water. The salt will help hydrate the cells.
In case of extreme sweating, a teaspoon of maple syrup along with the salt will act as an electrolyte.

Also, adding lots of hydrating fruits,.vegetables and coconut water will further help keep the fluid levels in check to make sure there is proper balance of magnesium, potassium and sodium.

Stay 😎
