What's Present Now | Simple Practice | Updates + Offerings
Hey dear Reader!
Is it just me or was July A LOT for you too? Whew! 😅
I hope you’re feeling great and enjoying summer so far. Real talk, last month took everything I had to stay grounded some days. But today is August 1st and I’m remembering that we can always begin again.
However, since we’re talking about what’s present now, I gotta share something that’s sticking with me from the past several weeks.
Jumping on bandwagons has never been my jam, but the rest conversation continues to be very mainstream. I think that’s because it’s truly needed right now.
In July’s moments of grief and sad news, I came to know how spirit speaks and guides in whispers. How the noise of our ego and the external chatter around us can quickly and easily drown out our own inner truth. Rest helps us to hear it. The more we hear it, the less we can ignore it. With time, we start to trust that truth.
As I’ve said, rest isn’t only about naps and sleeping in. It’s a practice that lets us turn off autopilot activity to invite presence and awareness. Quality rest can activate imagination and creativity.
Training in Tantric Meditation taught me a lot about what deep rest feels like while being wide awake. It’s trippy and cool. Just kidding! It’s actually quite peaceful and gently expanding. Definitely worth experiencing.
For the brave folks who dare enter this wondrous rabbit hole, the first Exhale Restshop will happen on Saturday August 15th, 9AM EST. It will be a clinic/practice where we explore the breath and begin to tap its untapped potential. Bring questions and leave with a newfound connection to yourself. I can’t wait to share this knowledge with you.😊
This I Know: It’s time we expand how we define and think about rest. In our always-on world, deep quality rest is the counterbalance we all need. Beyond sleep, it’s about cultivating presence, discernment and the self-trust to act on your truth. This is where empowerment lives.
May you be well, soak up the sun and rest, deeply.✨Feel free to reply here anytime. I'd love to connect!
Shanti + Shakti 🙏🏽
Peace + Power ❤️
