Apple Tree Magic

Sometimes it helps to remember Jesus was all about taking care of the body.

Some of my favorite verses from scripture about how he woke up early to go to the lake, alone…

How he built a fire and said “hey - come eat breakfast”

Next time you are about to rush out of the door, because of a rule or expectation on you - slow down.

Does your body have what it needs for the work you’re about to do in the world? For your presence to be grounded and safe?

If not.. mercy before sacrifice, people.
Mercy before sacrifice.

I really love offering the invitation to let a feeling “thin out for recycling”.

The mantra “I don’t want this anymore” on exhale inherently lets the feeling go up for being made into something new.

Being impeccable with your word and not taking things personally doesn’t mean you don’t feel the feeling.

Feel the feeling.

Let the heat transform you. Let it change you.

Not by deciding the new future or making a big master plan or announcement.

But by energetically aligning you with the calm that comes from sitting still and feeling. You change because you allow change. It’s the difference between a loaf of bread rising in its circumstances and a mechanic getting under the hood and tinkering all day to fix.

Honestly - it’s the difference between repair and restoration. It’s why somatic prayer is the practice at the heart of all of my teaching.

Raise your hand if you have a body.
And if you raised your hand? You have a breath.

And from that place? You can be present.
The discipline of yoga is now.
Let it all exist. Believe in both the inside of the box you know and the outside of the box you don’t.

This is where I love OM Asatoma mantra -
Lead me from the unreal to the real.
From darkness to light.
From death to immortality - finite to infinite.

Ok. Love you guys ❤️

Oh man, so many people on my staff are just feeling it this week. Friends of mine are sharing about navigating exes and children and transitions and yay routine but also what is this and who am I?

I laid in bed for about an hour this morning visualizing my day and praying to be a light.

Are you willing to be a light today?
Are you willing to be a light in this world?

Spend 5 minutes with that intention if so.

The Dolly in me sees honors and reflects the Dolly in you 💕
