Perception is everything, and nothing.
I recently went on a innocent quest to ask two mindfulness practitioners a resource question and I received two very different answers: it reminded me in a time of memes and quick dm's we need to be tuned in to ourselves and moving from there, from our own clear, center. We talk about this, a gorgeous poem by Ellen Bass and more in this episode of #rebirth #podcast #mindfulness #doyou #beherenow #listen #womesupportingwomen.

"Don't Give Up."
If you need a moment to remind you of fierce grace and the power of faith, you found it.
In this chat, Kate and Lisa talk about what yoga looks like at 40 vs. 20 and why, as Lisa puts it: “Life is hard. Yoga should nourish you.” Lisa also gifts us with her story of having a stroke at 34, what a power listening to each other can be, and the decisions she made in Faith, after that moment that created her now. This episode is a must listen.

Who told you to think that way?
Text and email are a heavily used form of communication, but unlike a phone call or in person conversation, there is very little subtlety or nuance of tone (emojis do not always cover it, people) and no context of body language for either of you.
If you can site this source — please let me know in the comments and I will amend this post.
Yesterday I was either scrolling or skimming and something caught my eye. The author ‘asked you: “Have you ever received a text from a friend and took it one way, and later found out that wasn’t the senders intent?” Meaning, your friend wasn’t trying to dismiss you, but you read the content through a filter and thought they intended to hurt your feelings, say the wrong thing, discount your perspective et cetra, et cetra. They explained that when you begin to interpret something with an “I’m sure this s going South” type of reaction, pause and ask yourself:
Who told you that?
It’s a brain interrupter.
It alerts you you are creating a story from a pattern and not the moment.
Now — of course — when were in a clear situation we don’t need this. We are talking about when we write the story of hurt through assumption and - more often than naught - we don’t know we are doing it. The subconscious is a wily thing, an unreliable friend, so when we assume, well, you remember how that ditty goes.

So, before you text back in a frustration, ask yourself: “Who told you that?” If you cannot trace it, the source could be a story in your head that will create unnecessary heartbreak for both you and the receiver.
If you want to take another turn of the spiral, when you are having a bad day and the tape of “This will never work out” comes through, ask yourself “Who told you that"?” and let the answers come.

Rebirth: Be the power of the land speaking
This quote by Sharon Blackie sits at the center of today's podcast: the first Episode of Season 3. Kate talks about her eye opening experience with the Q'ero in Peru, learning about ignorance and place, the power of curiosity and connection. If you want to feel free, root down.
This episode I am more personal than I have been before because I feel like our stories are healing us. Our land is needing us and the time is here. The episode centers around Sharon Blackie’s quote, “Be the power of the land speaking” as found in her book If women rose rooted.
When you think of connecting to nature do you think of vacation or do you think of your own surroundings? Do you think we can reestablish a sense of place?

Meditation Moment : Grounding || Our world is asking for us to make great change + it is time. The more we create clarity and compassion our next right steps illuminate with a bit more ease.
Our world is asking for us to make great change + it is time. The more we create a sense of clarity and compassion our next right steps illuminate with a bit more ease.
This meditation is the second of the series and is accessible to anyone: meditator or not; sitting in your car, or sitting next to a tree, laying in bed in confusion, sitting at a table in frustration, take a moment to ground.
When we are grounded, much like a tree, we are rooted and flexible. We more easily move from our own clarity than swirl in confusion.
These meditations are a monthly offering to our community.
