The goal is simply to give yourself time to tap in to the moment, it shouldn’t be a burden, but an inviting yourself to be in the moment.  Activities can be completed at any time throughout your day, without or without others knowing. It can useful to have a set, consistent time for journaling and meditation to help sustain the practice, but not necessary.

​The Secret of Self-Care: Approach over Action

We all know self-care is important, but in these challenging times, it can seem especially hard to prioritize while juggling new routines and coping with extra anxieties. When we bring self-care into our approach and actions, we can capitalize on the value of the practice, without getting caught by a lack of resources or reserves of time, money, etc. Read on and explore the secret of self-care from our Warrior Ambassador @midwestyogagirl!

What Namaste means to me

Weather you’ve practiced with me once or commune with me on the reg, you’ve certainly heard me say Namaste. I usually offer this interpretation as well…

The place of light and love in me,

recognizes, and honors,

the place of light and love, in You.

Namaste.  

That sounds pretty nice on its own, right? But let me take you a bit deeper too.

Starting with the ‘light and love’ bit. While the phrasing may become a little cliché, on par with puppies and rainbows—both light and love are powerful things! What is most notable about light is not only that it illuminates the dark, but that it doesn’t lose anything by shining either! So, when we say ‘the light’ in both of us, we’re highlight (pun intended) how our individual illumination unites and keeps us all aglow.

And in that place of light, how could there not be love as well? Love is universal and to some a more apparent form of connection. It is a feeling both emotional and physical, a force that inspires big things. So, when we come from that place of love, we’ve offering up a whole lotta positive and powerful feels of connection…plenty of hugs to go around and…ok, maybe bring back the puppies too.

In reference to that connection, I also specifically use the words ‘recognize and honor.’ It’s that place of light and love affectionately and powerfully going—Hey! I know you!!—like a hug or a slap from a bff. To recognize, means to recall and to know, a sense of familiarity and companionship that is more than just appreciation but a deeper knowing that reflects the same light. This is especially important when we may not be feeling ourselves, then the light of others can call our awesomeness out for us.

Lastly, that the place in me honors the place in you, reminds us that we’re all worthy of reverence! That there is something special without us all that is pretty amazing and deserving of praise, maybe sometimes we don’t feel it within ourselves, so others light can remind us, or—we have trouble seeing it in those that challenge our beliefs or values, so we must tune back to that love to remind that we’re all deserving and connected on a deeper level.

So, when we say Namaste, we’re offering something pretty powerful and special. Bigger than ourselves even! Offering a big Namaste for you and yours in 2018 and beyond. <3
