What is your morning ritual? I highly suggest you spare yourself some time first thing in the morning, and wake up earlier if you have to, this is imperative. So important. It will set you up for a successful day. Wake up with a morning routine and make sure to take a moment to yourself. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong here. The most important thing is that you honor yourself.

As we gradually approach winter, we’re offered an opportunity to slow down and look inward.
Introspection is not simple; it calls for self-awareness, deliberate effort, and quiet contemplation.
How do we do it?
Ask yourself:
Are my thoughts and actions in harmony with the type of person I want to be?
Am I living my life intentionally and deliberately to reach my goal?
When we reflect and courageously bring our lives into alignment, we are on the pathways that lead us to peace.

As I sit here today, in preparation for my virtual weekend yoga training, updating my online platform and diving into the world of Ashtanga Yoga on the mat, the series of postures, as well as The Eight Limbs of Yoga : today I miss this one.... the one who once told me and the world, "Practice and All Is Coming". My former teacher Pattabhi Jois. Remembering him and our first encounter. I had to re-read THIS article about his life, where many of his students share their experience with Guruji and how he impacted their life. I can't deny a feeling of a certain kind of sadness, or should I say melancholy. Have you every met someone who because of their presence in your life whether in person or in distance you became a better person? If you have, you know exactly what I am talking about. That person to me was Pattabhi Jois. When I first met him I was a kid.

Be impeccable with your word. Impeccable is "free of sin". Do no harm with your word; do not use it against yourself (we are our harshest critics) nor against others. Gossip is toxic. Only speak with integrity & always say what you mean so that you can use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Distance healing is used to describe any kind of energy that is directed or sent across space and time which has a healing effect on the recipient. This is different from in-person healing in that the healer & recipient do not need to be close together in distance in order for the healing to take effect. Distance healing can be done over the phone, for example, or at a special time set aside by healer & energy receiver.
In energy healing and holistic medicine therapies, the healer is working with the physical, emotional and mental aspects of the client by accessing their subtle and energy body. This subtle energy body can be accessed from anywhere, anytime.
