A Mindful Journey Day 1, 2 & 3

Hello Lovelies!

I have decided to offer a window 

to my 30 day Mindful Journey

here...

Blogging is part of my spirit...

I have been journaling

 for most of my life

and it seemed fitting to give witness

to these 30 day.

I will share a reflection of what

each new day of this journey brings;

whether it be an image

a story

an experience...

I hope you will bear witness 

along side me.

 *

 Day 1

 A day of preparation

mentally, spiritually, physically

space being created

fresh food being bought

meditations chosen

I feel ready for these 30 days

Everything is falling into place

in every aspect of my life

telling me

this is a good time to go deep

with intention and soul/self care.

 

fresh flowers in my bathroom is my favorite thing...cut fresh from our garden by my husband is even better

One of the events that fell into place

for this journey to begin

came from the yoga studio I attend

 

The studio was hosting a challenge

a 10/10 challenge

10 days of TRX

10 Days of Yoga

in 29 days

+ 3 special classes for the 15 who take

The Challenge

You should know I have never attended

a TRX class before

Yoga- yes

TRX - no

So I was looking forward to our first

group class on this, Day 1;

introducing  any newbies to TRX or Yoga

My girlfriend is the owner of the studio

and our teacher for our 3 group classes

She is a true yogi

gathering us all together

inviting us to reach out to one another

if we see each other in our other classes

inviting us to encourage one another

as we travel together

comrades

and companions...

I like the way she thinks.

Day 2

biking down to an ocean inlet

SouLodge Sister and longtime sister-friend
as my journeying companion today

coming to the place of Eagle
whom we journey with
this month in SouLodge

Today we honour the soul-aspect

of this journey

as she too

is answering The Call and going deep

along side me

Joined by Eagle

Connected in Sisterhood

we make space to be...

 a gorgeous afternoon

of fresh healthy food

light wine

rich soul speak

 Mama Ocean dances in the sun

hawk and eagle call out over head

and yellow finches sing songs in the trees
while four legged friends come by
to visit and swim
only leaving once they have baptized us
with Oceans life waters

we decided

fancy restaurants are no match,

to a clean lunch eaten with Mother Earth

*

Day 3

 5:00am
Relax, Relieve, Restore 15 day guided Meditation
" Quiet your Mind"
6:00am

my now second TRX class

full body workout

I loved it

it worked me
still trying to figure out the straps lol
but

and I still loved it

(back home for mama mode)

9:00am

Hot Flow Yoga

Hot

Yes 

amazing how much heat our bodies can produce

I feel open and oh so beautiful
sweaty, hot, stripped down

I feel the goodness happening already

I have a good cry during Savasana

they came

and I let them

my body felt so alive

so open

so tired

so good

the tears came out of a place of gratitude

deep gratitude

I had thoughts of my deep healing

and they came

and with a smile on my face

and peace in my heart

I gave them place

to be...

*

 when I came home it was time to nourish

my body

with the fruits of our garden

 

apparently there was someone else

who needed nourishing too....

fresh frozen blueberries (picked last year)

strawberries from our garden

almond coconut milk

coconut water

ground hemp and flax seed

a toss of coconut 

a scoop of plain greek yogurt

  a drink perfect for a soul-journeyer

Cheers my lovelies! 

now...with tea in hand

I bring this day to a close

feeling I am right where I need to be

As my dear journey-sister Marie says

"Life is good...

so very very good"

Love and Light
