A month ago we were camping at the best festival s A month ago we were camping at the best festival surrounded by the most beautiful souls one could imagine. @nz.spirit Dancing, laughing, crying, and lots of cacao. It seems like life was much simpler then and now here I am back in the states. I haven’t left my house in a while. New Zealand is on lockdown. Everything is different, but moments of stillness and inner-work I come back to the connections that were made. The freedom that was felt. And the love that was there. I am grateful for the highs and lows. I am grateful to be in a place to truly let spirit festival sink in and absorb all the magic that was created. Please stay home and do your part. The more we stay home and stop the spread of this, the faster we can go back to times like these. I sure do miss my tribe in New Zealand and can’t wait to connect again at spirit next year 🇳🇿 💫
I left a part of my heart in New Zealand today. Ri I left a part of my heart in New Zealand today. Right now I am on a flight back to Oklahoma to be with my family during these uncertain times. There is so much to be said about what is going on in the world and how this can bring up many different forms of grief for each of us. I do want to write about all of those things, but right now I just wanna show my love for this man. Thomas, you have changed my life in the most beautiful way. I will miss your vegan cooking, nights of babbling, waking up next to you and so much more. Finding love after love lost has been a journey and I am beyond grateful the universe helped us find each other. I love doing life with you, but for now just on the other side of the world. I can’t wait to see you again as soon as I can 🤍
It’s okay to be okay. Feel it all. Love it all. It’s okay to be okay. Feel it all. Love it all. My word for grief in my life currently is ever-changing. Throughout the past three years, I have found myself on the rollercoaster of grief that has showed me the deepest of lows but also the highest of highs. I just finished this amazing podcast by @aubreymarcus called “Fifty Years with Ram Dass with Raghu Markus.” In the beginning, they discuss the way Ram Dass looked at death and how we can live in many different planes of consciousness. From my own experience the first few months after my friends passed away I was only living in the grief plane. I was stuck in this feeling of despair and loneliness. I believed that this is how I was supposed to feel and just had to ride the wave until I found my breath. Praying each day I wouldn’t drown. Then as more time passed I was able to laugh again, live a little, and be more present. But sometimes I even would find myself getting angry about being happy because I thought I was moving on too fast. Now as my grief experience is ever-changing and I am continuing to learn from spiritual leaders I now know you can live on more than one plane of consciousness at the same time. The grief plane and the understanding plane. Being able to be fluid and loving all the planes you are on is the key. It’s easy to get stuck in one or the other. The overwhelming feelings of pain & brokenness and on the other hand the understanding of the impermanence of life but not allowing yourself to feel because why does it matter? This past month I have been feeling it all. I hosted my first Yoga For Grief workshop. I became a yoga teacher because of my grief and finally being able to hold the space for others in this state brought up a lot of emotions. I am walking in my truth, but I also have to remember to feel what arises in me. I did a group Breath-work session with @marcelhofmethod last week and during the experience, I was taken back to the hospital rooms with my friends. The smells, the conversations, the tears it was all within reach happening right in front of me. (Comment for second part)
After a day of playing on the beach, flying the dr After a day of playing on the beach, flying the drones, & singing we gathered by the ocean to drink cacao. Usually before we drink cacao we set an intention about what it is we desire & how to better walk in our truth, but something was different last night. Luke said “We are all beyond intention now. Let’s just be.” And wow. We are all doing it. Each of us are walking in our truth and living our dreams everyday. Living consciously, pursuing our desires, eating good, and just having fun. I am so in love with the life I live and the people who I get to live it with. I never imagined to be surrounded by the most beautiful loving souls in New Zealand, but here I am. Teaching yoga. Spending my days in the sun and learning from some of the best people I have ever met. A lot can change in just a few months- if you are stuck or unhappy I challenge you to get out of your comfort zone and travel into the unknown because you never know you can meet on the way. Live your truth. Grateful to have found my tribe. My family. 🕊🕊🕊

“Souls love. That’s what souls do. Egos don’ “Souls love. That’s what souls do. Egos don’t, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and you’ll be amazed- all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one. When many people have this heart connection, then we will know that we are all one, we human beings all over the planet. We will be one. One love. And don’t leave out the animals, and trees, and clouds, and galaxies- it’s all one. It’s one energy” - Ram Dass 1931-2019 🕊
