Self love + acceptance

love yourself

Why people practice yoga is unique in nature for everyone.

If you want to come to the mat to stretch, come to stretch. If you want to come to the mat to build strength, it can be that too.If you want to heal, learn self love, stretch, learn to breathe, connect to spirituality it can be all of this as well.

It is my own personal practice to love myself by meeting every single moment of self-judgment with kindness and compassion. To learn my own self worth and to acknowledge my own self worth in all my shine + all my darkness. Getting myself to a good place inside and finding inner peace is an invaluable practice and should be given a lot of space and recognition. It is the inner world that shapes the outer world and though the practice I soften and find more self love continuously. Give it a try.

Sacred Smudge Sticks

• Leave a Comment

The Sacred Smudging Ritual ceremonial practice has been used by different cultures around the world for decades – using sacred plants from Mother Earth for healing. Smudging cleanses, rebalances, and opens fresh energy and good spirit in to your life. As you burn your sacred smudge stick, speak your wants, hopes, dreams, and intentions in to your smudge. The more represents the prayer going out in to the Universe to manifest. Sacred smudge sticks hand-rolled by me using Fair Trade White sage, lavender and sweet grass. Follow @animalmukti on Instagram for more details or pick one up at The Yoga Room on Nantucket.

Some of these little cuties come with a crystal.

Choosing LOVE

I am making it a personal part of my practice to stop sweating change and the constant evolutionary process.
I am choosing to sink in and love it all. It’s natural, it is normal, it is karmic, it is correct.
We are ALWAYS in it or just coming out of it or just going back in and sometimes we match up with the people closest to us and it feels normal and sometimes we don’t and it feels rough and lonely.
It’s just what’s happening. Sometimes it feels terrible, painful and despairing. Sometimes it’s joyful, easy and inspired. We get locked in to this idea that “happy” is the correct way to be all the time. This idea that we have to be happy all the time creates a ton of judgment if we feel angry, sad, bummed.
I believe that when we are “in it” is when the actual healing is happening. It’s like being in war with your soul and that’s okay. Can you roll with pretty and non pretty reality? It’s so serious and also not so serious at all.
