this 3 part series entails guidance through practices that reignite that connection to our whole selves (mind + body + spirit) we all inherently hold within. the intention to reconnect to your whole self is a beautiful intention and what can arise can be so so rooted in your very own truth - what can arise can be uncomfortable, scary, unseen before, blissfull, profound, uninteresting, expected, shocking...it can be so many things. can you be open to the infinite number of posible outcomes of reconnecting to yoursel, remembering all the parts of you and re-igniting your self-awareness.

for me personally, guiding you through practices like these feels important to me as someone who shares yoga, because the 'embodiment' aspect of the practices, the embodiment in temr sof just feeling my body, my prana and everything else there is to be felt has been profound for me. when i was around 15 i pursued yoga at my local gym as apart of my fixation on being skinny. this whole fixation, eating disorder, over-exercising situation really established a whole body + mind + spirit diconnect for me. i really learnt how to override many bodily cues with my thoughts and beliefs i convinced myself of. i don't think this is uncommon given the response i've received speaking about this openly with other people over the years.

yoga began as another ingredient to my disordered approach to my body and ended up being a huge part of the coming out of that way of being. yoga has taught me so much and continues to do so, but in relation to this, yoga is where i have regained that supressed connection to my body + my higher self, or whaytever you want to call it. this extends far beyond just hearing my body when it is hungry, it's a broad awareness of what my body is truly communicating to me, what she needs - what that feels, looks and sounds like, what it is asking of me. eating disorder aside, this can be a difficult practicw when we live in a fast paced world where we need to show up more often than perhaps our energy allows. we use caffeine, our thoughts, guilt, obligation, pushign through to get all these things done - there's not much time to truly stop, identify and honour what we are asking ourselves for, especially daily. perhaps there is one practice or one idea to take away from this series; something ti implement daily, to remember your inherent connectio with your whole self and to start practicing listening, awareness and honouring your needs.
