INSPIRATION

When the world or your thoughts are squeezing you too hard. Step away. Sit. Settle. Gently lower or close your eyes. Breathe. In out. Allow your heart and mind to become more present. Say these words out loud or silently, "Calm....Ease....Relax....Open...." to the rhythm of life. Stay with the words. Allow them to resonate within. Feel. Take your time. Rest. Slowly open your eyes and bring wellbeing into your day. This simple practice is a precious gift to yourself and other

In honor of your wise heart and the constant whirl of life, offer these words of affirmation to yourself: "I am willing to soften within my current situation, the unknown, the seemingly unworkable. With less judgement and more compassion." Notice how your thoughts influence your actions. We can choose to pause, breathe, and respond, with practice and intention, from a deeper knowing.

Magic is everywhere. As our awareness of the cries and whispers echoing across the planet grows louder, I encourage you to shift your attention to this moment. Offer compassion to yourself first, then to others. As we honor the self-work necessary to be of service. Make plans, find joy, gather your precious self, family, friends, and strangers in your arms. I am here to help you clarify your journey, and coach you through the bumps in the road.

Core Principles of "Sky-Like Mind" and Guided Practice Vastness and Space: Imagine your mind as the clear, expansive blue sky, with thoughts, feelings, and sensations appe

Hail to you, Osiris, Lord of eternity, Whose heart is calm amidst the chaos of the world. You who have passed through the trials of death and rebirth, Teach us the secrets of serenity and inner balance. Grant us the strength to navigate life's challenges, And the wisdom to find peace amidst the storms. May our hearts be as light as a feather, Free from the burdens that weigh us down. O Ptah, creator and sustainer of all things, Guide us on the path of Ma'at, the divine order.

Great Mystery, teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun . A timeless prayer. We can chant daily.

Call it what you will: "coaching", "supporting", "serving". I am here to relieve suffering and cultivate awareness. We ache. We worry. We lose ourselves. We want. We need. We hope. We give. We dream.
