It\u2019s a day when we\u2019re thrown from the helm of our ship and thrashed about by the waves of life and others\u2019 agendas. Our habitual tendencies take over and sabotage us. And we end the day-- or, worse, the year-- exhausted and feeling like, no matter how hard we try, we\u2019re just never enough. \n\nCreating and maintaining a daily practice is something I know so many women struggle with. It\u2019s one of the core things that I mentor women on; and it took me many years to establish mine. The effort was well worth it: now my morning practice is the wellspring of a fulfilled and sovereign life. I could never do what I do or be who I am without it. \n\nAt the end of this first talk, rather than sharing a practice, as I will in all the forthcoming ones, I offer a comprehensive list (not to be confused with a To Do list!), to offer an overview of the various components I recommend you include for a well-rounded home practice. \n\nOver the coming weeks, I\u2019ll then guide you through some of these pieces, and then you can add those teachings to your practice library and use them throughout the year. \n\nIf you suffer from the \u201cAll or Nothing\u201d syndrome, where you think if you don\u2019t do 1 or 2 hours of yoga and meditation a day, then it\u2019s best not to do any at all, I think you\u2019ll find this talk really reassuring. \n\nToday\u2019s episode is for every woman- busy mothers, business owners, and golden-year queens. It\u2019s for you if you\u2019ve never stepped on a yoga mat, and if you bring yours with you wherever you go!\n\nIt helps each of us to establish a direct, personal relationship with the Sacred Feminine, and to bring Her qualities of compassion, love, and radiance forth from within our own bodies, hearts, and minds to illuminate our daily lives. \n\nDeep exhale. Was that wisdom talk just what you needed to slow down, re-center, and reconnect to the sacred wholeness of your feminine being? I hope so, dear sister.\n\nWe women need to build rest, contemplative quiet, and loving connection into our lives. And it\u2019s incredible what 20 minutes here or there can do.\n\nImagine what would be possible in your life if you put this kind of pampering and spiritual practice on autopilot in 2016. If you had regular mini-retreats, daily self-care rituals, fiercely loving mentorship, and a supportive sisterhood to keep what matters most on your front burner.\n\nThat\u2019s just the beginning of The SHE School 2016: a 9-month spiritual practice community for women. I only open registration once a year (every January- that\u2019s), and we begin on February 1. \n\nClick here to learn about The SHE School 2016: www.TheSHESchool.com\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/cef88bce-0a91-4b22-a4e0-c4d79754fed4/artworks-ttuzibyba2ax1fv3-76xuha-t3000x3000.jpg"}
