Welcome to a new year. The passing year has been a challenging time. Many have struggled with anxiety, depression and isolation. Challenging times remind me how important meditation is to our self-care. And how essential self-care is to building health and resilience to meet the world. When the going gets tough, the tough sit down … and collect themselves.
Meditation has many applications. But as a healing modality, meditation can be seen as a fundamental reconnection to ourselves. Each time we return to the breath we are returning to ourselves. And when we have the presence of mind to actually feel the breath, we are reconnecting on a very intimate level. Each breath can be like a gently healing hand on our heart. Far from making us soft and unprotected, I have found this loving connection to help build confidence, resilience, and strength.
When the going gets tough, the tough get soft. Soft enough to meet the hard stuff.
Far from building egotism, awareness based selfcare gives us the strength to look past our self-obsession in order to connect sanely with our world.
I’m excited to invite you to some upcoming online classes and offerings. Please consider joining online.
