Have you checked out season 4 of Present Moments? If you are curious about yoga philosophy, but find it overwhelming... join me for 7-10 minute episodes of Bite-sized Yoga.

Episode 1: What is yoga (part 1)
In this episode, I read from pages 7 & 8 - what yoga is and how to enter a mode of awareness as a method of agency. Agency is the process of acting with integrity and in ways that are aligned to your core values. Rather than simply reacting or fostering relationships, patterns or behaviors that are harmful, you make mindful decisions from a place of stillness, calm and your highest Self. We discuss discipline, reflection and action from a place of full capacity and how yoga is a practice of understanding energy and consciousness.

Here’s today’s mental health May memo. Not only do I love Jeff’s voice, but this podcast episode is a great interview about how emotional regulation is another key to longevity. Overwhelm, chronic stress, anger, sadness, grief etc that aren’t processed reduces lifespan. This episode gives tangible advice and simple practices you can do to cultivate an ‘upward spiral’. Let’s do this!!!

Do you occasionally have premonitions or a deep inner knowing about something beyond your five senses? Are your dreams sometimes realistic or prophetic? Can you sense or feel the energy of other living and non-living things.... plants, animals, people, places, objects, etc?

These are examples of guidance that comes from your team of spirit guides, third eye energy and higher SELF. They are gifts accessible to EVERYONE! Like learning to read, riding a bike, or playing piano... you have to cultivate them and practice.

If you're interested in exploring several modalities in a sacred place to practice accessing and listening to your guides, the Higher States of Consciousness Retreat is a great place to be! July 30 - Aug 2 in Winter Park, CO!
