HALLWAYS
~
I’ve had the distinct feeling lately, that I’m in a passage. Crossing through a threshold. Walking down the corridor of change, transformation, and awakening.
~
After three major eclipses this summer, 2 epic journeys with the hubby, and a lot of meditating and healing work, it’s all adding up and coming together.
~
But for so long I wanted to be there. To arrive at that great destination, that epic mountain peak metaphor. But I am still in the process of shedding old skin, and it’s not a bad thing.
~
This process of walking through the hallway of transformation has its own set of gifts. Permission for more rest, compassion, and kindness. An invitation for sweet slowness, and a treating of self like the divine being that I am.
~
I know I am not alone in this. You aren’t either. The passageway of integration and change has its own gifts. Have you noticed them yet?

NOT WASTED
*
Time spent catching up on sleep is not time wasted.
*
Time spent discovering new fields, new cities, new shades of sunflower is not time wasted.
*
Time spent watching old movies that make your inner child smile is not time wasted.
*
Time spent indulging in a good new book - however relevant it may (or may not be) is not time wasted.
*
Time spent daydreaming, wandering, and even tiptoeing around boredom is still not time wasted.
*
Time spent by yourself because you said no to social engagements that felt like a ‘should’ more than a want is not time wasted.
*
In a modern age of great pressure and rush, the time we spend to unwind, relax and release is some of the most nourishing and valuable that exists.
*
Here’s your permission slip to do something that feels indulgent but is actually incredibly productive for mind body and spirit.

“I would say that I painted to please myself. And I’ve just been fortunate. I’m a lucky person.” — Georgia O’Keefe
🌿
This journey through the land of enchantment has been a vacation feast of the eyes and the belly. But today, these words catapulted me right back into my mission at home. The road of releasing external expectations and focusing on simply impressing myself through my art, creativity, and exploration.
🌿
When we learn to prioritize delighting the self and the soul, things get luckier, easier, and so very magical. It’s a daily choice to follow the path of enlightened self-interest, and it’s yours for the taking. Thank you, Georgia, for the sweet reminder.

WHO ARE YOU?
•
Where have you been? Where are you going? These are the questions that often get neglected in the busy and the mundane parts of a modern life.
•
But what would it look like to prioritize these inquiries? To discover ourselves, our missions, and our gifts? To face the shadows of the past and embrace the light of the future as we walk the path of answering them?
•
Now is the time, beauties. These are the questions of a lifetime. There are the openers of purpose. You have permission to dive in as your main strategy for helping out.
•
So, I ask again - who are you? Where have you been? And where are you going

30 THINGS I KNOW: on the eve of my birthday, I’m keeping with tradition and reflecting on the 30 things I’ve come to know across the past 365 days of this precious Iife. #linkinbio #leoseason | 📷 @missdianamorales

CATCH THE SHIFT
☀️
Our last eclipse of the summer occurs in the early AM this Saturday, August 11th. If you have a heartbeat, you have been feeling some major shifts across the last few weeks.
☀️
Shaking things up. Kicking your butt out of your comfort zone. Making you super-charged with energy, or super sleepy, needing to integrate. For me I’ve been feeling a mix of all of it - but loving and trusting that these shifts are happening FOR me and my highest good. Peeling back old layers of grief and fear and daring me to jump into a more bold, fun, and true way of life. ☀️
However you’ve been adjusting, I encourage you to carve out some sacred space across the end of week/weekend to simply reflect on where you’ve been this summer and where you’d like to go. It’s Leo season - a time to release the part of the self that feels faint of heart or like a scaredy cat. It’s a time that asks us to double down on our own greatness, courage, self-celebration, and grit.
☀️
And if you’re in DC, I hope you’ll join me @takecareshop on Friday eve for the women’s circle or Saturday AM for a kundalini yoga class to catch the magic of this time.

A LITTLE DELICATE
•
This weekend my feelings have been a little more delicate than usual. I’ve found my ego getting bruised more easily, and dramatic-mind-spins happening a little faster with a bit less consciousness.
•
I’m sharing this today to remind myself (and you), that it’s OK. And to take some time during this powerful eclipse window to retrace my steps:
•
Have I been nourishing my body with the best nutrition? (Not as much green as usual come to think of it!). Have I been doing my daily meditations? (Yes, but usually later in the day after the drama and mind spins instead of before). Have I been finding a healthy dose of perspective, inspiration, and an outlet for creativity? (No - I’m hungry for it!)
•
You get the picture. And even if everything has been “perfect” I’m still entitled to a little drama, emotion, and chaos when I darn well please. I am a woman after all.
•
So whatever emotions happen to be sweeping through this weekend, know you’re allowed to feel them, but you don’t have to make them a cozy home in your psyche. And most important, perhaps you don’t need to project them or release them on others. Take a walk. Do the fists of anger meditation, have a good cry, and allow it to all pass.
•
The most beautiful things in life, really are quite delicate anyway.
•
New moon circle this Friday to ground and harness all this wonderful (crazy) energy. #linkinbio

SIMPLY NOT SORRY • you do not have to apologize for taking up space, asking questions or loving what you love. A about freeing yourself from the suffocating box of apology and opening into the freedom of authenticity. #linkinbio

A U G U S T
•
Today is exactly 1 week from my birthday. And as I step into this new month and reflect on the precious ending of a year, I feel great awe for life’s inner and outer expansions.
•
There have been many opportunities to embody my calling as a leader - something I knew and celebrated when I was very young, but for a time had doubted, judged and pretended to forget.
•
Owning my own gifts as a leader and teacher this year have led me to offer kundalini yoga in Washington, to speak at law firms, colleges, and big companies across the country - even teaching classes for my former employer. This has been a year of tremendous expansion for Wandering Wellness.
•
But this has also been a year of quiet and powerful inner growth for me as a woman. A new time of seriously trusting myself and my needs in all decisions (big or small). For a Leo who loves to shine and constantly be in motion, trusting those quiet whispers for rest, reflection and slowwwwing down wasn’t always easy, but it was always - at the heart of it - exactly what my heart needed.
•
This lesson of almost reckless self-trust has been one of the greatest gifts across the past 12 months.
Even when it didn’t make sense to others, or logical sense to me, stoking the fires of my intuition has proved to be a key to new discoveries, awakenings, and sources of strength I never knew I had.
•
Despite all the outer expansion, it’s that inner work I value most these days.
•
Wherever you are in your trip around the sun, know that the mining of your inner treasures of expansion and self-trust can be practiced at any time. It is, indeed, the journey of a lifetime. Happy August.

WHERE WILL YOU TAKE THE DAY?
•
Many of us talk of how a day was rough, or got away from us, or spun out of control. But I’m not a fan of that language as it takes your autonomy out of it.
•
Sure, things happen, fires need to be put out, people don’t behave as we want them to. But ultimately, you are the one living your story. Day in and day out.
•
You are the one at the helm. With the free will, and choices. With the ability to change your mind, and to respond to things thoughtfully and neutrally instead of reacting with intense emotion or complaint.
•
You can take charge of your day. And those days add up, to weeks, and months, and years, and then a lifetime.
•
Today I’m taking the day on a journey of spiritual study, meditation, exploring, good listening and thoughtful breath.
•
Where will YOU take the day? Hold a vision, and watch in awe as your dreams unfold before you.
