When The Body Suffers
These times call for healing and nourishment – on all levels.
When we nourish our bodies with healthy whole clean natural foods mixed with nourishing thoughts, we heal. But often we eat to shove down feelings and sabotage ourselves. This result is a lack of the nourishment we need to thrive.
We eat to feed ourselves but often eating is habitual and addictive. To heal these harmful patterns, you can start by grounding and looking within to the story the body holds that it is self-sabotaging your health. Meet yourself with compassion, choose to let go and then move the energy out of y our body, energy field and mind.
If we do not energetically and clear out patterns of inner sabotage, the body will hold onto weight, pain and toxicity that eventually leads to disease and suffering on all levels. But when you can sit with hunger or longing, you start to detach from addictive responses and get in touch with a deep power that heals you.
Once clearing happens, it is a good practice to pause and sit with the sacred void.
Sitting in presence with the unknown may bring you feelings, memories and often inspirations. Ifyou sit long enoug in the mystery, she will give you all of these things and more.
We can be hungry for many things….
In my experience, sitting with the hunger and restricting addiction has helped me access the powerful void and I have been able to reset my nervous system.
Here is how the void healed me.
A few years ago, I co-facilitated monthly new moon events for women in my community. We included a super inspired new moon reset.
We chose locations where we could reset with minimal manmade light outside.
After we settled into circle, we invited the women to feel into their bodies and ground. Next we took time to breathe and find intentions with the body.
Then we danced our prayers.
For some, the prayers were to cleanse and let go and for others it was to create and birth. After the dance, we turned the lights off and rested quietly in the dark. Being quiet in the dark with 15-20 women each month on the new moon was the peaceful reset that my body needed. Rarely have I felt such peace.

Back in the day, when living here between 2000 and 2009, I performed West African Dance. offered ayurvedic wellness classes, bodywork booths and mucho more.
Upon returning 4 years ago, I was thrilled to see and hear how LEAF has expanded and persisted. I got to teach a meditation workshop and am returning in a few weeks to offer a healing circle, energy work, and support a listening booth for the festival.
Family-friendly and filled with opportunities to dance, connect, and celebrate the diversity of arts, LEAF festival inspires us to get outside, camp, and gather in celebration and community.
Helene Helene & Lake Eden
Lake Eden was struck hard by Hurricane Helene. I was beautiful to see and experience how LEAF crew worked diligently to support the healing of the community in Swannanoa (ground zero for HH) to support families, artists and nature to restore
LEAF is on Lake Eden. This is the location of the historical Black Mountain College The story of Black Mountain College begins in 1933 and comprises a fascinating chapter in the history of education and the art…Twenty minutes east of Asheville, the secluded environment fostered a strong sense of individuality and creative intensity…. Legendary even in its own time, Black Mountain College attracted and created maverick spirits, From the website (https://www.blackmountaincollege.org/history/)

In the process of building resiliency in a community, I created a non-profit project called Rebirth Asheville to support wellness services for free to WNC.

It is rough economically and the amount of death of trees and backlash of Hurricane Helene has been intense still but we are building and growing and it is an honor to be able to show up and serve together. (see FB post yesterday where 4 of us gathered to create our signs for LEAF)

LIVE REPLAY
Some people launch and some people fail to launch
Who succeeds?
(Hands down) Those individuals who challenge themselves to step into leadership when it is uncomfortable are THE ONES who launch and reach their goals.
What gets them to reach their goals?
These 4 words make up the formula I train members of our Awakened Life Tribe.
BE. COMMIT. PLAN. ACT.

Let me break this down.
1. BE
Shifting in Beingness (Yin Training)
This is the magical piece because when integrated fully, it shows you how to work consciously and integrally in the body with your thoughts, feelings spirit so you can be in vibrational attunement with your vision from head to toe
2. COMMIT
Commit fully without needing details revealed to do so.
3. PLAN
Make a Plan
My Dad was right on this one. Planning is KEY you reach your goals. And when done with a fresh perspective in how you are being, you can stay inspired to keep going.
4. ACT
Shift how you DO things.
Scheduled plans turn into action and taking Action in a New Way (Yang Training) is the thing that brings NEW results.
In our upcoming Leadership Circle, you will have a chance to work on all these aspects as we lean into a new season of awakening and manifesting within ourselves, families, our communities and beyond this physical world.
