THE BEST SLEEP OF YOUR LIFE
*
My number one go-to for improving sleep and life quality and the yogic science behind it.
*
#linkinbio #selfhealing

I love this picture. At quick glance it’s bowl of exquisite flowers. Upon closer examination there is a sizable bug in the middle of the most beautiful lotus of all.
•
I didn’t notice it at first. It surprised me, and for a moment disgusted me. Then I literally laughed out loud and realized how freaking perfect it was.
•
We can clip and cut and filter as much as we want on the surface of images and of life, but ultimately, the true depth and reality of this life is that it’s messy. It’s full of surprises. And it’s still somehow all so imperfectly perfect.
•
So I’m grateful to you little insect. Thanks for the reminder to not take this perfect thing so seriously. And for showing me that the natural architecture and web of life, is always the most beautiful.

40 DAY CHALLENGE: KIRTAN KRIYA
💎
Tomorrow is day one. An opportunity to try something new. A chance to show some dedication and commitment to your own healing, mental resilience, and balance. An opportunity to learn a valuable meditation that you can carry with you forever.
💎
Kirtan Kriya gives the gift of balance in the body. Studies in Alzheimer’s prevention have also shown it improves sleep, downregulates inflammatory genes, activates the grey matter of the brain, slows cellular aging, and promotes mental clarity and relaxation.
💎
Not bad for a practice that takes about 12 minutes and just involves some simple chanting and hand movements, eh?
💎
About a year ago I practiced this special meditation for 40 days and saw things in my life open and blossom. I would excitedly wonder what gift would be next from this practice. It is subtle, powerful, and the perfect vehicle to guide us into the end of the year with clarity, grace, and mental freedom.
💎

💎
Send over any questions and tag a friend who would benefit from some meditative guidance + community this time of year. Sat Nam ✨🙌🏽✨.

SO, HOW WAS INDIA?
* a week home from the trip of lifetimes, musings on how I’m answering that very question...read on at the link in my bio.

SAY YOUR PRAYERS
*
This is a special time of year when the veil of “reality” is a bit more thin. And today - All Saints day or All Souls’ Day - is an especially potent portal to plant seeds of prayer for what it is you’re manifesting. I leave mine below and invite you to do the same should you feel so moved.
*
Today I pray that I may become cleaner to be a fit channel of something more divine, bright, and clear.
*
Today I pray that I may take the treasures known and unknown found in India and activate them through my kundalini practice.
*
Today I pray that I keep my gaze steady to the vastness that goes far beyond this life - but also allow myself to be grounded enough to inspire, and ignite others in a real, tangible way on their own journeys here and now. *
Today I pray that I may teach the people I am supposed to teach, and reach those I am supposed to reach through the messages I share across time and space.
*
Today I pray to keep a sense of humor and a neutral appreciation of the dance and game of life.
*
Today I pray to never ever forget to appreciate this day and this vehicle of a body I’ve been given to move through this experience with grace and dignity.
*
Thank you. Sat Nam 🙏🏽

A STUDENT, A TEACHER:
•
For the last few months I’ve been answering the question, “What do you do?” with - “I am a teacher.”
•
Inevitably I’ll share that it’s not kids I teach but adults. How to meditate, how to release deep-seeded stress. How to find greater energy within. How to touch a practice that feels like truth.
•
And as I step into feeling comfortable with that response and owning it with my whole being, I can also recognize the need to remember and reaffirm my studentship.
•
Though I am here to teach, I am also here to learn. To grow, to expand, and to lead by example. I think in some way we all are.
•
We’re all called to be leaders, shepherding in a new age through dark times of transition and rebirth. But we’re all leaders that can be open to learning.
•
So I affirm again today, I am a student and I am a teacher. And I step into those roles with grace, ease, and gratitude.
•
Our world desperately needs you to do the same. So how will you show up for that continued leadership and learning in your own life?
•
Thank you for the photo my friend @nataliarosenbaum

Himalaya, Himalaya. You’re as strong and holy as those mountains that you seek. You can climb those steps to God, just give you’re heart to me...
🏔
These lyrics from a mantra song have been ringing in my ears for the past few days. As I journey back to Washington, it is almost unimaginable what I’ve experienced these past 14 days.
🏔
8 flights. 5 hotels. Countless temples and monasteries. Experiences that felt as though they were literally blowing my mind. About 1000 cups of masala chai. Laughter with new and old friends. Tears at the pain of people and animals in some parts of this magnificent and at times, manic country. The craziest bus and van rides I have ever been on. The extreme beauty of the landscape and the people who call it home.
🏔
I will be unpacking these treasures for a long time, but I will always remember seeing, feeling, and breathing in these beloved Himalayas for the first time.

SIBLINGS OF DESTINY
*
One of the treasures of a journey of any magnitude and depth is the bonding that happens with the people you’re with.
*
When you’re stuck on a bumpy hot bus for hours and you’re about to hurl. When you step into a cave the Buddha has meditated in and you feel the energy within you transform, when you walk by heartbreaking poverty and sickness, when you stay up late, wake up early, and keep going on a mystery adventure of energy hunting. Ultimately, it’s the people that make or break the experience.
*
Some call these companions from far and wide your siblings of destiny. Connections that were forged by forces not bound by space or time to rekindle, reconnect, and remember.
*
I am so grateful for this group of amazing friends and map-setters of magical energy from all over the world. Sat Nam. 🙏🏽❤️✨

ASKING FOR A BLESSING
*
To step into a fearless trust of this adventure
*
To remember I have been groomed for this moment
*
To find what I came here to receive
*
To know that I am protected
*
To know that I am here to protect and lead others
*
To step into my highest, most amplified destiny
*
To light the way for others to do the same

POLARITY UNFOLDING
*
A place of beauty. A place of extreme poverty. A place that took great difficulty to get to. A bus ride that seemed as though we were journeying to another planet. Big smiles and community in what looks to be post-apocalyptic villages. The place of the Buddha’s enlightenment under the bodhi Tree.
*
We’ve been in Bodh Gaya for less than 24 hours but I am certain there are mysteries to be revealed in the heartbreaking and hypnotizing beauty of it all.
*
In the awareness of polarity, if we can stand with steadiness sand strength we learn to cultivate neutrality that can hold it all.

✨A GOLDEN BUZZ ✨
Feeling a mix of all sorts of things as we round out our last day in Amritsar. Riding high from being in such a beautiful, sacred place. Feeling exhausted and sore from running the 84 steps of Goindal. But most of all, I’m honored and grateful to explore this culture with a powerhouse group. And to be in the presence and the golden vibration of a place like this. I can’t wait to share more with you as the journey continues... ✨💫✨

UP UP AND AWAY
*
In a few short hours I embark on a journey I feel as though I’ve been waiting my whole lifetime to take. I’m heading to India with dear friends and teachers from the @ramainstitute community to visit some very sacred sights for deep healing, release and transformation.
*
I learned a few things as I prepared for this trip I thought I would share:
*
1. Nothing replaces doing the work - i.e. running up and down stairs is not the same thing as doing a lot of flat walking and hoping your legs are getting stronger. Listening to Japji (what I’ll be chanting on the 84 steps at Goindal) helps but is not the same as actually putting in the practice of chanting in my own voice. Doing the work is what actually works.
*
2. Before a big life-shifting adventure it’s normal to experience some fear and angst fighting back - all gifts of the subconscious. I had about two pre-trip moody meltdowns from feeling some overwhelm. It was helpful to not attach to the emotions, give them a bit of safe space to sweep through and then let ‘em go and get excited again.
*
3. Asking for help is an amazing way to recognize how much support you have. I am honored to have the prayers and blessings of friends and family as I head off to do some major karma clearing and bucket list crossing-off. Feeling that support and love is palpable and beautiful. And all I had to do was ask.
*
4. The places we go are so much more enjoyed when we also appreciate where we come from. I am immensely grateful for everything and everyone that has led me to this point. Thank you for helping me on this journey. I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Sat Nam
