2025, here we go!

What are you ready to welcome? What experiences do you want to live? But first, what are you going to let go of and what new choices are you going to make?

New Year's resolutions are all well and good, but without inner transformation they are just empty words. As Joe Dispenza says so well, this year like every year,

...if you don't change anything in yourself, nothing in your life will change.

This "in yourself" is none other than the sum total of our thoughts and emotions, these invisible but oh so powerful strings that pull us into action and give birth to our reality. So of course, the same thoughts lead to the same emotions, the same actions, the same experiences, the same reality over and over again. Is that reality to your liking? That is the question.

Happy New Year!!!

2024. Here we go! Instead of the usual New Year's wishes, often expressed in a somewhat mechanical way, I would like to offer you a kindness meditation. Called metta meditation, it comes to us from the Buddhist tradition, but can of course be practiced by anyone. It consists of repeating a series of kind sentences towards oneself, because without this we cannot go very far, then towards others.

I'm so thrilled to announce that my new online meditation course is now available (insert happy dance here!) It's called Meditate for How You Feel. This approach to meditation is individualized, inspired by Ayurveda, somatic therapy, and my own struggles with meditation over the years. In it, you will learn how to work with the energy of your emotions to ease into meditation.

On June 16 at 7pm, I’ll be discussing an individualized approach to self-care, according to Ayurveda and your unique mind-body constitution. Come find out what yours is, and how to keep it balanced. It's happening at the JCC, but you know, online. Register here.

If you’ve been grappling with a chronic health issue in spite of your best effort at living a healthy lifestyle, it can be oh-so discouraging. You've been eating reasonably healthy, exercising, stretching, taking your supplements, but your back pain, nausea, skin rash, or asthma, just won’t go away. You may be thinking you need to do more. Well, consider the solution might not be to do more, but rather to look elsewhere for the source of your pain.

Because we don't know how long this will last,

Because many of you have asked for more yoga,

Because a Level 1/2 class is accessible to everyone....

Starting this Thursday April 9, 2020 I am scheduling a Level 1/2 yoga class 10:30am -11:45am EST
