Experiencing Joy & Pleasure in Outrageous Asking (even when I don’t get what I want)

Doing scary shit is the fastest, surest path to deeper self-trust, acceptance, and love. Because if you want something different for your life, you have to do something different. The bigger the change you want? The farther you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone.

It’s my birthday and I am celebrating with the green veggie of practices

For my birthday I’m sharing with you one of my favorite practices again:

Celebrations, Clearings and Desires.
It’s good for all seasons, but it feels especially supportive when marking a transition or milestone like a birthday or anniversary.

You should try a spring cleaning for your beliefs

I have been noticing a hardcore kerfuffle happening in social media lately around beliefs. People are displaying anger, fury, fear and hatred towards folks who seem to have different beliefs than them.

Have you been getting worked up — furious, scared, indignant, anxious about people whose beliefs differ from yours?

WTF?

What the Fuck? is my new favorite practice.

I’ve still got nothing but love for my sweeter, gentler practices that focus on mindfulness, compassion, gratitude and love.

However lately I find myself relying more heavily on practices that release frustration, irritation, disbelief and of course, anger out of my nervous system and body.

Are you out of ideas for how to make yourself feel better?

Tantrums are a sure fire way to move stuck energy out of the body. Babies and children know how to do this until they are blocked by adults. Animals do this naturally as well - full body shaking after a frightening event.
Check this video here where I explain more fully and demonstrate.

Why are the woowoo calm AF?

I saw this quote by Allison Cotton a few days ago on Facebook:

When the world thinks woowoo is cray cray but in a pandemic the non woowoo go cray cray and the woowoo are calm AF

We’re about 3 weeks into this now in upstate NY and I find myself today in a new stage of response…
