FOR COMING HOME TO YOURSELF

The body is a magnet that is absorbing energies all day long, all of the time. Are you aware of it? Do you feel it? Your body is always speaking in direct effect to your day, your thoughts, your choices, your interactions, and your experiences. Pay attention to the signals. Listen to your body and honor it.

In this class, we explore doing just that and more, like empowering it and helping it to thrive. YES INDEED!

Implementation

SET BOUNDARIES

Boundaries are about living in honor and reverence to who you are as a vessel, conduit, and soul being and not entwining yourself with what isn’t in service to your highest good or with the higher good of the collective. It’s not personal; it’s vibrational. It’s energy.

OBSERVE

It's important to pay attention to what's happening in and around you when you're out in public. By being observant, you'll be better equipped to respond to situations and take care of your own needs. It's also helpful to be aware of what energy and emotions are coming from you versus others, as in what’s yours and what’s not. Take note of any areas where you need to focus on healing, recharging, or slowing down. Be mindful of what you're consuming and how much exposure you have to certain things and stimuli. Also, observe without absorbing. Practice equanimity for that.

SACRED PROTECTION

You've done so much work, and it's ever-crucial to prioritize taking care of your body. Explore what makes you feel restored and protected. Engaging in that and the work itself is a method of self-protection. 

DO YOUR SACRED WORK

It’s of the utmost importance to be prepared for your day and any that may arise. In order to do so, it’s vital to maintain a balance between your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This will allow you to approach challenges with a purposeful perspective, a clear and calm mind, equanimity, and higher insight while exuding confidence and strength. Remember to prioritize spirit-care, and body-care, as much as self-care, as collectively, they’re the foundation for a thriving and strengthened self. 


Introspection

  1. How have you been prioritizing your physical well-being lately?

  2. Are you nurturing your body into balance, rejuvenation, and well-being?

  3. Do you speak empowering words that serve and affirm your body or that don’t?

  4. Are you listening to your body and honoring what it’s communicating to you?

  5. Are you honoring your body as the temple and sacred ground that it is?

  6. Are you empowering your body as the vessel and vehicle it is?

Contemplation

  1. What do you love about your body?

  2. What about your body are you grateful for?

  3. What is your body thriving from as of lately?

  4. What is depleting it and/or causing it not to thrive?

  5. Where does it hurt?

  6. Where is it in need of healing?

  7. Where can you send more love and healing energy within?

  8. How can you show up in yourself more, even if that means getting help?

  9. How can you rise above, vibrate higher daily, and thrive your way forward?


Journey in grace and power.
