The other day I had the startling realization that everything in my life I’ve resisted the most has also changed my life the most. First, there was kundalini yoga. After cancer, I was losing my mind and rabidly angry. I’d literally lose my shit in restaurants and grocery stores over nothing. My now-husband would […]

What does it take to become who you’re meant to be? To have both spirituality and ambition? I’ve been pondering this question a lot lately, and actually my entire life. The balance between spirituality and ambition. …between tuning into your deepest desires to set audacious goals and enjoying the present moment. …between loving who you […]

Inside each of our bodies lies a sun, a center of energy that powers up all the other chakras. That internal sun is the solar plexus, the manipura chakra, the third chakra, located at the naval. It’s said that a strong body equals a strong mind, and nowhere is this more evident than in the solar […]

The past few weeks have been a time of great personal transformation, from breakdown to breakthrough. Although disorienting, things are shifting powerfully. I’m trying to stay super connected to my heart to navigate these shifts purposefully, and to ensure that my physical self walks the path my soul has intended. To do this, I’ve […]

My energy has been alllll over the place lately — one minute feeling like I’m at the start of something amazing and the next feeling like I’m working through old stuff that I thought was long gone. Maybe it’s the eclipse season? Not sure, but makes me feel better putting it in that context! […]

Pleasure. Guilt. Creativity. These wild urges are contained energetically by the second chakra, svadhisthana, located at the sacrum, the triangular bone at the lower back.

Using the chakras for personal growth and healing offers a powerful way to understand and release emotions while expanding into greater levels of awareness, peace and joy. My approach to the chakras is not so much energetic, but to use this framework for deeper understanding of the mind/body connection. For example, I’ve been […]

I can’t believe it. My own upper limits just knocked me down. Today’s blog post had about a million iterations because I’m evolving, letting go and rethinking my beliefs (which means they’re also evolving) while opening up to bigger levels of happiness in so many ways. Sometimes I wonder if I’m happy just because I’m beyond blessed, […]
