Journal: The Power of Letting Go

My body is starting to regain its strength again and it feels so good. I took some time yesterday for self care and did my skincare routine and ended up meditating on the floor in the bathroom. I haven’t created this time and space lately where I allow myself just to lean in into what I need that exact moment. But oh boy I needed it. I was able to shift my mindset back to me. A me who treasures me and knows what’s best for me. The practice on the mat in the shala later that evening felt so different and I owe everything to myself and that moment earlier…

When I started mediating and practicing yoga I thought it had to be a certain way or a certain pose to count. Now, meditation and yoga - is so much more. Yesterday it was connecting to my higher self through stillness and slow movements. I love how different it looks every time. Sometimes it’s exhausting sitting up. Sometimes it’s exhausting laying down. Maybe I need to cry and scream to release what’s coming up or I just want complete silence to see myself. Hearing the thoughts and noise surrounding me fade like a passing airplane to disappear at last and leave me with silence, peace and clarity. Best feeling ever.

It took me years and years and a lot of different teachers in different countries to finally land in this realization. It’s one thing to understand it but it’s not until you’ve started to apply it you can see and feel the power it, and you, has.

Remember - it always starts and ends it’s you. But I’m here to help and guide you if you need me!
