Most beautiful full moon last night 💖 (more tonight, peaks at 9:40pm in Cali), sitting on the roof and enjoying previews of fireworks (by overexcited neighbors 😉) with lovely friends, and soaking up the energy of the full moon. ✨

This is the new adult entertainment: Find where and how you can love more. 💖
We all are one, deep down, and with every tiny act of love or kindness we contribute to our own healing as well as to the healing of everyone else. Every single one of your smiles matters, every single one of the kind thoughts you say in you mind or out into the world matters, every single hand you ever reached out to someone matters - and sometimes the smallest act of loving kindness can make the biggest difference in someone’s life ❤️
.
We all need to breathe. This is the new adult entertainment: Go deeper. Dare to go deeper. Find out what’s inside, bring out all of the beauty you bring to the table of life. 🙂
Release, relax, and restore. ✨

Resistance - these are my notes from the Dharma ta

Resistance - these are my notes from the Dharma talk by @carinamindfulnesscoach that was a very helpful reminder today - these reminders shape my everyday practice and maybe it can serve you today as well ❤️

1. Inevitable: Resistance is inevitable, so no need to judge yourself, and here is how to work with it.
2. Awareness: Tracking - start becoming aware of what you resist during the day and reaction (e.g. procrastination, going unconscious, spinning out).  What are the sensations of resisting? (e.g. Fluttering of heart, knot in gut, tight throat)
3. Belief: What is this resistance believing about me or about life? (e.g. Fear of rejection, judgement, extrapolation to whole mountain / life)  Am I resisting growth? If so, growth in what way or area?
4. Nurture yourself through it: How to coax through the fear of change? If we feel overwhelmed, we are trying to manage the whole mountain.  Have faith and trust that if I tend to the present, I care for the future.

Q: Trying to understand where I am resisting and where I am in need to surrender (more) - understanding the difference of where is the resistance and where is the surrender?
 A: Ask whether it is something I need to let go of, or something that will expand me?
Is moving in this direction expansion or will it inhibit my growth?
Surrender is moving towards expansion - feels spacious, even though probably not in a comfortable way but a bit scary.
Resistance is closing in sensation - feels contracting and tight.
It may not feel good either way, and here’s where mindfulness comes in. Feel the feelings but be aware that you are not the feelings. Let them flow through but careful what you believe about the narrative that your mind tells along with it. (Decisions based on feelings not so great because feelings always just flow through and easily get hitched by thinking mind.)
When this is complete, will it have grown me?

Thank you @carinamindfulnesscoach for the light that you are and the beautiful work you do 💖

Saw this beautiful cloud Phoenix in the sky yester

Saw this beautiful cloud Phoenix in the sky yesterday - on a long walk to get my mind unstuck from circling thoughts. Sometimes it takes an hour but eventually it helps. 🌼
When we remember how futile life is, and how quickly precious little moments pass, when we remember that every conversation we have might be the last interaction with that person, and when we remember that every day might be our last, then we can reflect more easily on what matters. 🙂
It won’t necessarily make our decisions easy, but it may take away some of the confusing thoughts around that make life seemingly even more complex. ✨
Trust your heart to guide you, trust your intuition to lead you with the impulse that comes the moment before your thoughts kick in, and trust that you are loved no matter what. ❤️
It’s a daily practice, I work on myself every day, and I’ll be working on that for the rest of my life, picking myself up as I fall, holding myself compassionately as I fail, and encouraging myself to keep going and do my best every time 💖
Join me in that work if you feel called, and breathe with me tomorrow at 11am Pacific time, 8pm Central European time, and PM me for the zoom link.

I think I found my future ‘office’ on the neighborhood walk today 😍
That’s how I imagine working my days, in nature, under a tree, with hearts, and lots of love for all people ❤️
I might sit on a cushion on the floor though, because I might accidentally break that little chair 😁

Happy Juneteenth!
We took a nice long after-lunch walk and listened to several chapters of @ibramxk’s book “how to be an anti-racist” to up our education. Still a lot to learn and unlearn and constantly be aware of.

Love - building blocks of life, building blocks of

Love - building blocks of life, building blocks of joy, building blocks of happiness, building blocks of gratitude.
I may be simple minded, but that’s ok. I trust that love is the ruling principle of the universe, and that with each act of love, however small it might be, we contribute to making this world a bit better and to help heal everyone.
I’m not on a spiritual bypass here in terms of necessary systemic change - life can require very dedicated action to things that are going wrong. I’m just determined to continue to act from a place of love and let that inform my action.✨ Deep down we are all connected. Love with all you have in your heart, keep it wide open, never close it down. And yeah, trust me, I go through the self-induced turmoil of the mind like everyone else, and need to constantly remind myself of where I am contributing to my own suffering instead of surrendering and trusting in the process. So today when I got a little anxious on a phone call that I very much cared about, I had to remind myself not to let that anxiety talk but the love that I so very much feel and choose to dedicate myself to. Love, please show me the way, inside and outside, because my internal state will always inform my outside actions. ❤️ #love #actfromlove #awareness #stopmindchatter #change #heal #grow

Crow wisdom: “Allow your personal integrity to guide you in this situation. Know that it is safe for you to stand in your own truth.” Listened to the inspiring podcast of two queens that I admire @koyawebb interviewing @rhagoddess on abundance. Lot of beautiful truth around listening inside, being responsible for bringing the joy, and creating the right conditions by intention. ❤️

“The plague of racism is insidious, entering into our minds as smoothly and quietly and invisibly as floating airborne microbes enter into our bodies to find lifelong purchase in our bloodstreams.” ~ Maya Angelou
I listened to @brenebrown’s podcast episode with @ibramxk on his book ‘How to be an anti-racist’. He compares racist ideas to being rained on us all life without knowing it while being told we are dry - and then someone pointing out racism in its occurrences, e.g. an offensive comment, is like offering an umbrella. No need to get defensive against it and instead to just say ‘oh, thank you, I didn’t even realise I was wet.’ and taking that umbrella. He also explains that when those ideas get taken in, simultaneously being a victim and a victimiser. My speech is not as eloquent as his - book is pre-ordered, I’m on it.

Fall forward, in your failing, and rise up with yo

Fall forward, in your failing, and rise up with your soul on fire! - Michael Bernhard Beckwith.
For the inside, with the soul on fire: Find the center, it’s not a static balance, it’s a dynamic equilibrium - and if we can’t see the way, we can gently feel the edges.
(Singer, The Untethered Soul, Chp. 18)
With all the unrest going on and the important process of changing a system that has made so many suffer (photo by @kristiemacdonald13 ), we need time to ground and reconnect deep inside.
