I am on an exquisite healing journey…A Grand Experiment of sorts….experimenting with everything from Ayurveda, lifestyle & diet, body work, energy work, archetype work, exercise…from backpacking mountain-biking road-bike-riding yoga dancing karate tae kwon do tantra always-walking meditating crystal-gridding chanting kundalini-raising herbal medicine-making organic-gardening magic-wand-making community-building business-owning business-selling marrying and divorcing and marrying again and divorcing again and many addictions and many radical recoveries and international-traveling to fiddle-lessoning. Which I sucked at and my teacher told me so. People are shocked when I tell the story of my fiddle instructor of 2 full years telling me to quit taking lessons. He said…Why don’t you try something easier…like a guitar. lol. I am actually really grateful. And relieved.
I am an experimentalist. I try stuff. Apparently lots of stuff. Some stuff I suck at. Some times I rock it. Sometimes it stays with me for life. Sometimes it does not. Some things I continue to want to expand and grow. This is my personal evolution. These are the people and activities I know resonate with me wholly. Sometimes it feels like I have been waiting my entire life for this idea or person. No, not waiting…adding more and more experiences until I was ready for [this] to enter my life. And when I not only SEE this flow but FEEL the flow…BE the flow, I am in Bliss. I know this to be our right as Human BEINGS and our most sacred gift. And we decide how do this for ourselves.
So the other day I was in Blue Ridge, GA, being the grateful recipient of the most intuitively healing Thai Massage (by my amazing friend Christina Law at her newly co-created magical yoga studio right downtown, Yoga & Wellness of Blue Ridge). She shared something she learned about balancing the hormones with Pranayama. Although I have practiced pranayam on and off for years, it felt like I was being told something very important. I even thought about what she shared with me several times and knew I was being reminded for a purpose. I had found my new experiment. A five minute simple breathing exercise has been my daily practice ever since that morning.
This, I know, has caused quite a transformation within my core. Ancient practices such as this are known for their powerfully cosmic effects on the curious and self-disciplined.
Oh…and since I have been experimenting with this Pranayama on 2-22.. (only two weeks ago), it wasn’t my intention or even on my radar, but my mother noticed I had lost weight. I got on the scale and had lost 9 pounds. Seriously. (Additional posts to follow about Pranayama; the benefits and techniques…:-)
In the next GODDESS REVIVAL workshop, “The Prophecy of the WILD WOMAN: Rituals to Elevate, Liberate, and Empower” I am most honored to share some of the most fabulously, whimsically fun and powerfully transformative rituals I have encountered along my journey through the portal of my own creativity.
