During challenging moments in life, it is not uncommon for us to experience powerful shifts that can have a lasting impact on our overall well-being. These pivotal moments often arise in our darkest hours, when we may find ourselves grappling with life’s uncertainties.
In such trying times, it becomes crucial to arm ourselves with effective tools that can help us navigate the rough terrain and find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos. One such tool is the practice of yoga, which offers not only physical benefits but also serves as a means of mental and emotional rejuvenation. By engaging in yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, we can access a deeper connection with ourselves, cultivating a sense of inner strength and resilience.
Additionally, journaling can be a powerful tool for self-expression and reflection. By pouring our thoughts and emotions onto paper, we create an outlet for exploring our innermost feelings, untangling complex thoughts, and gaining clarity amidst the confusion. Journaling can also serve as a source of catharsis, allowing us to release pent-up emotions and gain a fresh perspective on our challenges.
Alongside yoga and journaling, meditation offers a restorative practice that allows us to quiet the mind and find moments of tranquility amidst the storm. By engaging in mindful meditation, focusing on the breath and observing our thoughts without judgment, we can cultivate a sense of inner peace and presence. A regular meditation practice can aid in reducing stress, anxiety, and promoting overall mental well-being.
In combination, these practices provide us with invaluable tools that can be utilized during difficult moments in life. By embracing the power of yoga, journaling, and meditation, we can nurture our resilience, gain clarity, and navigate the hardships with grace and compassion. Remember, it is often in our hardest moments that we have the opportunity to discover our inner strength and create powerful life shifts that propel us towards growth and transformation.
This was a short episode packed with awe inspiring tid-bits. One of the most intriguing things about doing podcast recordings is that I schedule these calls out weeks in advance and then show up as myself, whoever I am that day. Whether it’s my best or not.
In editing, I often uncover things about myself and information I didn’t quite catch during the recording. (It’s not an easy task to guide the capturing of compelling content)
In this way, this was one of the most beautiful episodes I’ve done. Justin definitely has a poet’s energy about him. We covered powerful aspects in this episode and were able to get very honest with one another.
Also, as real magick does, messages found me exactly when I needed to hear them. Let us know if you received what you needed to hear too (in a rating if you can swing it as that helps us out a ton).
Beginning – 7:01
The benefits of journaling in collecting your thoughts and clearing your mind. How cultural conditioning teaches us to suppress our emotions. Writing can be a beautiful expression of one’s soul and gives us so many methods of outlet.
The mind is expansive and clutters easily because it’s more 5D than linear. With the emotions tied to this, it can be easily overwhelming and distressing to try and make sense of, especially when dealing with large emotions. Writing forces us to linearize these complex mind blobs into something easier to understand and digest.
7:01 – 12:30
Movement can be hugely helpful in getting emotions and thoughts processed and cleared. We section ourselves off into pieces in order to make easier sense of it all but we really are a whole being. Yoga is really good for helping us understand the bigger picture of ourselves.
There is no line where the mind stops and the body starts. It’s all the same thing, existing simultaneously in the dimensional layers of ourselves. That being said, focusing on the physical is often the best place to start healing anything.
What’s good for the individual is good for the whole and vise versa.
12:30 – 23:58
Healing the wound of separation so that we can then come back together.
Pain is inevitable but suffering is not. Transcending suffering however, means getting familiar with the discomfort of things in life we can’t escape. For example: death. Facing it and sitting with the discomfort of it allows you to move through it to the other side which is acceptance and surrender. Acceptance and surrender lands us in liberation.
The struggles of yoga in some locations due to misconceptions. How yoga helps connect you to yourself and the world around you which makes it an invaluable spiritual tool. The more connected we become, the more power we are as an individual.
This is the essence of government control. There’s a shift coming in with the younger generations though. The illusion of “The American Dream” has been shattered and they’re helping us liberate ourselves from the unfair controls placed on us by those in power.
23:58 – 31:25
The obnoxious structure of formal education. The internet has brought all of the information to us for free and self study is often more successful in educating us than a classroom.
The dynamics of everything is changing. We’re creating our own ways of living without the perimeters and limitations of the boxes society and culture have chosen for us.
The frustrations of being qualified but unable to prove it because you don’t have a specific degree.
31:25 – 45:50
We’re physically ill with loneliness due to the sectioning off into the nuclear family units. How we’re beginning to break down that very new system and develop our villages back because of it. People are moving back in with one another due to not only this but also because of the state of the world and the uncertainty in the future.
There’s power in numbers, unity and coming together.
Start where you’re able to start with the pieces that you’re given.
Communication is key when trying to live in close quarters with people. Nothing will test you more but also nothing will be as fulfilling.
Having a mentor who sees and understands you, who can validate your thoughts and emotions is invaluable. You need someone to reassure you that you’re not crazy.
45:50 – End
In order to teach people about connection, you have to experience the extreme of the opposite and then work your way towards the solution. You can’t truly know unless you experience it. Only then can you begin to meet people where they are.
