I invite you dearest ones, to bring your awareness to the places and spaces where your heart knows it belongs…

To the routines and activities that resonate with your soul…

And allow yourself to be…to move forward…from this inner space…this is your guide…your North Star.

Honoring Our Ancestors: A Yoga & Meditation Workshop

I'm honored to co-host this special gathering with my dear friend and yoga teacher, Dominique Sieglaff from yogaforthespirit.org 🙏

Come and sit around the fire and reflect on how cultures for millennia have honored their ancestors during this sacred time of year when the veil between worlds is thin...

Together, we will:
-Open to the stream of ancestral lineage that lives within each of us with a heartfelt Hatha Yoga practice
-Make offerings to our ancestors in a traditional Hindu Ta***ic Ceremony
-Be guided through meditation to connect to the beauty and challenges of our familial bonds

We offer our gratitude to all who have come before us, and all who will come after us.

Before the week fills up, create a little space for yourself.

Join Dr. Manizeh Mirza-Gruber today, Monday, October 5 at 12 PM CT, for Mindful Monday, a free 30-minute guided meditation centered on mindfulness, gratitude, and presence.

As the season shifts and the air begins to cool, consider these 30 minutes an opportunity to step away from distractions, notice how you're feeling, and reconnect with yourself before moving through the rest of your day.

No preparation is needed. Simply find a comfortable space and come as you are.

📩 Access is available through the Mindful in Practice newsletter: https://www.mindfulinpractice.com/sign-up

We look forward to practicing with you today.

My stories are my guides…they arise from life’s experiences…and when shared, create a space of belonging…no matter our story, we are never alone if there is at least one person who has shared a similar experience.

And this matters…

“We belong simply because we are alive.”

I am savoring every moment of book launch week…one moment…one breath…at a time.

My heart fills with gratitude for this journey, and for the many individuals and beings who have walked beside me and continue to inspire me…

You are one of them…

This is why I write…and tell stories…

A thirteen-year-old once told me many years ago, “Manizeh, you’re a great storyteller…you should write a book!” I guess I listened! And wrote and illustrated two books!

My latest children’s picture book, Mini’s Magical Moment, is out now. You can purchase one through me (DM for inquires) or on Amazon.
