 “I’m true to myself in every moment.” How often can we say that’s really the case? When a loved one or colleague calls out to you, do you respond from a place of deep authenticity? If not, why not? What would it be like to engage with your world from a place of deep knowing that what you are doing is truly in line with who you really are? According to ancient yoga masters, everything we need to manifest our heart’s desires already exists within us. When we take time to turn inside, through quiet contemplation and meditation, we tap into a wellspring of potential and possibility. Aligning with our true self brings a sense of inner fulfillment and contentment, from which comes the ability to live with great passion, purpose, and intent. Lining your desires up with who you really are allows them to unfold naturally. As the ancient masters say “From the Being, the Doing gets done.” This is what inspires me to continue offering meditation experiences, including Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra, which is a deeply restful guided meditation practice combined with Sankalpa (click here to learn more about Sankalpa), allows one to tap into the source of wellbeing and potential that exists within, operating from that place as we engage with the world around us. It’s quite freeing, really. After all, we are human beings. Setting aside the "to do list" even temporarily, and taking time to nourish your self by turning inside can set up up for success as you re-engage with the world around you. Curious? Click here to message me about scheduling a private session, joining our next 5-Series practice, or having me come to your location to guide a Yoga Nidra or meditation practice with a group of your colleagues, friends or family. Taking the time to travel inside and tap into the source of our being is wonderfully therapeutic. It restores our vital energy in a way that allows what we do in the world to come from an overflow of who we are, rather than draining us in the process. In the words of George Bernard Shaw “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating your Self.” What are you creating, and how does what you do support who you truly are? I am happy to guide you toward answering this question (through movement, breath work, meditation or the guided practice of Yoga Nidra). Contact me today! Namaste, ~ Sharon  |
