This AND That

This week, I found myself experiencing a wealth of emotions almost simultaneously. At times each felt contradictory, but then I remembered that we are all, amongst other things, dualistic. I was reminded that we are allowed to be grateful AND exhausted. Full of joy AND melancholia. I can be a peaceful yogi AND a fallible human.

In a single moment, we can be so many things. That is the beauty and the challenge of being delightfully human. As you move into this week, I invite you to welcome in all that you are. Embrace the AND of your nature.

Inspire | “Every day is not an opportunity to improve yourself. Some days are just there for you to accept yourself and look at the clouds. This too is growth. This too is rising. Just existing is enough on some days. The flowers do it every day and make the world more beautiful just by being here.” Nikita Gill

Read | When I find I need to connect back to my feminine nature and find balance from within, one of my favorite meditations is the Green Tara Practice. Please take some time to read this article to learn more about Green Tara, her symbolism, and how to practice this meditation.

Try This | May you have the courage to break patterns in your life that no longer serve you. This is a wonderful time to give yourself permission to pause and reflect on where you have been and where you are going. And always remember, taking care of yourself doesn’t mean “me first;” it means “me too.”
