This is the first altar I built for our community in the recent workshop I hosted in the #comoxvalley ✨
I created the altar in gratitude for the land we live upon the unseeded territory of the Comox Nation; in gratitude for our ancestors and our teachers that share with us their wisdom and guide us along our paths; for great spirits for holding us in our healing and lighting the way; for our wholeness; for reciprocity; for balance; for peace and harmony; and to hold sacred space on our sacred life journeys!
✨
My personal experience with having an altar whether it’s a big one like this for an event or small one in my home is that it reminds me daily of the sacredness of life. It reminds of my eternal nature and that I am never alone; it reminds me that we are all nature, that we were all born here and will all die here; it reminds me of the power of intention, ritual and practice! ✨
If you do not have an altar in your home I invite you to create one. Create it with intention, with gratitude and Witt elements that remind you of life’s gifts and remind you, you are never alone and can always ask for support; remind you of your intentions so that you practice your dream and desires now in this moment rather than waiting or wanting...create!
✨
If you already have an altar may this remind you to sit with it and connect to your higher self and all that is!

Today I offer you a meditation for those days you are unable to step out into nature. Read first, then envision.
✨
Find a comfortable seated position and close your eyes. Begin to witness your breath; witness the inhale and the exhale for 7 rounds of witnessing your breath... Now, Imagine what it is like to go for your favourite forest walk...
✨
Imagine stepping onto the forest path and as you do remember and imagine the smell of the sweet clean air as it fills and cleanses your lungs...
✨
Now, Imagine what it feels like to have the fresh cool air caress the skin on your face, on your hands... ✨
Imagine what it feels like to walk barefoot along this path, to feel your feet connected with the Earth...
✨
Imagine the light shinning through the trees hitting all the different surfaces, illuminating them in vibrant colour...
✨
And feel the gratitude of sharing this life together; this life with the beauty and the wisdom of the forest!
✨
Whenever you feel like your forest walk and connection is complete, gently open your eyes place your palms together and bow your head in gratitude! You may also want to journal your experience in the forest. What came up, what colours you saw etc. ✨
Join me this Saturday, November 30, 6:00-9:00pm @holycowyogastudio for a New Moon Workshop where I will guide you through a journey with my drum; a guided meditation! Teachings on re-wiring the mind-body connecting, creating the future you dream of and a full yoga practice and more!!!

The thing about change is it is almost always uncomfortable. ✨
Why is that? Because it’s stepping into the unknown, letting go of control and of the outcome. Living in uncertainty and unpredictability to create something new.
✨
Not only that but what happens in our body when we are making change? It creates symptoms that may feel uncomfortable or uneasy because you are changing the programs you have instilled over many years and it doesn’t know this new way. It begins to try and convince of what it knows and that you should follow this because it doesn’t know this new experience. It begins to release old patterning to make room for new programs you are installing.
✨
What also happens? The body is connected to emotions and memories that begin to signal messages to the brain that day things like, “I can’t do this,” “I’m not good enough,” “it’s too hard,” I’ll start tomorrow”...etc etc ✨
These are the past, not the present and not true. Not every thought that comes up in the mind is true. The mind and body is basing everything on the past. ✨
So, “the hardest part of change is not making the same choice you did the day before!” #drjoedispenza ✨
So get comfortable I’m the uncomfortable and love yourself forward!

Tap into the power of intention
✨
Tap into the power of turning inward and visualize, rehearse an activity, your desire or your dreams mentally.
✨
Now feel it emotionally. Teach your body what that future would feel like. ✨
The latest research in neuroscience says that when you do this your brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s going on out there and what’s going on within, if you are truly in the present moment.
✨
You begin to instal new neural networks in your brain to look like you already had this experience.
✨
Now your brain is no longer a record of the past, now it’s a map to the future!
✨
Therefore, new thoughts lead to ⇨new choices, which lead to ⇨new behaviours and actions, that lead to ⇨new experiences, which lead to ⇨new feelings and ⇨become a New State of Being! ✨
So may you take moments throughout your day to envision the reality of your dreams..... and get comfortable in the uncomfortable and unknown because you are creating new networks in the mind and body that your body and mind are used too so they will try to brings you back to the old ways of what is know and what is comfortable!
✨
“If you’re waiting for something to change, then you are not creating!”
✨
Join me November 30,6:00pm-9:00pm @holycowyogastudio for a New Moon Workshop and Yoga where there will be teaching and practicing with all of this!
