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.

Book Writing Update

I simply had to put it down-

All of it.
.
The daily writing goals.
.
A Publishing date.
.
The marketing strategies.
.
AI’s opinions.
.
The promotional team planning.
.
The content.
.
Here’s why…
.
Unconsciously and sometimes consciously, I believed that if I didn’t do it, I wasn’t gonna reach my goals in life.
.
I was putting way too much pressure on myself and my truth is that the pressure got to me.
.
I discovered this because my body let me know.
.
It was just all too much.
.
What I didn’t know was how the impact of trauma would continue to affect my life on an unconscious level.
.
Trauma from the storm. And basically trauma from being a human in this time.
.
So I’ve been processing.
.
All of it.
.
My childhood.
.
The women in my ancestral line-
.
The coaching business-
.
The mentors I’ve listened to all these years –
.
And what has emerged is that on a multidimensional level I once again have consciously reclaimed my sovereignty.
.
What that means is that I remember who I really am and the power of choice that I have to create my experiences throughout all the layers of my being.
.
Who i truly am as a being comes from
.
A place of light. A place of joy.
.
And I will no longer sacrifice any of that for my goals.
so..I’m changing course.
.
My courses will still be available online and for those few people that I choose to work with privately, I will support but only if it feels inspiring.
.
I will let this body be my guide from now on and my spirit and my heart will be the fuel for every decision I can consciously unconsciously create from.
.
This I declare and commit to from this day forward.
.
I will no longer ignore the whispers.
.
For these at the beginning of my elder years and to the best of my ability, I will enter them with grace.
.
Oh the book? I’m still intending on getting it done.
I don’t know when and I don’t know exactly what it looks like, and I don’t know how long it’s gonna take, but what I do know is that I’ll follow my inspiration, creativity, and joy because well – I can, and that indeed as a gift.
.
Thank you for witnessing, my friends.
Continue to follow my writings or reach out to me and let’s stay connected and hold each other to authenticity grace, and patience.

Spring 2025 Asheville Updates

Asheville Updates Spring 2025

Myself and some of our Rebirth Asheville team gathered yesterday to make signs for the upcoming LEAF festival we were invited to participate. We had fun! 

Check out the pictures

LEAF festival is a Western NC staple event. Many many of the incredible artists and families that love world culture attend or have facilitated.  Over the past 20 years, 1000s of people a year flock to Lake Eden for LEAF.

Spring LEAF Retreat
May 8-11 2025
Get your LEAF ticket

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/)

Rebirth Asheville
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. 

Check out my website and read about it and see how you can support if you’d like > www.RebrithAsheville.org

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)

MAY 2025 at the Lake Eden Arts Festival 
We will be offering 2 booths. One is for Energy Work and the other is a “Listening Booth”. The listening booth is a free service where people can come by and sit and share and we will listen and hold space for what wants to emerge.

Sign up for LEAF and come hang out on the land with us MAY 8-11 2025.

Love and Gratitude,
Narayani

Manifesting Magic Pop Up Class

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.

 

 

DOWNLOAD THIS DESIGN

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.
