Yesterday, I had the blessing of leading a grief session and this practice brought me to tears. In a safe and quiet space, we took time to name our grief and release some of it into our shared basket. We collectively paused to hold one another’s grief, and it was so hard and beautiful. ❤️‍🩹❤️

Grief is something we carry. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes with a weight we didn’t expect.

This gentle practice is an invitation… to notice what you’re holding, to honour the love within it, and, if you’re able, to set down even a small piece of the weight.

There is no right way to grieve. No timeline. No pressure to release. You are not alone, and worthy of deep gentleness and care. 🤍

If this meets you where you are today, you might return to it slowly… one breath, one moment at a time.

Much Love, C ❤️🤍

“Peace be with you.” 🤍

not as an idea…
but as something you can know and feel,
right in the middle of your real, everyday life.

a peace that does not deny our humanity but meets us within it.

a peace that does not erase our scars but holds them with love.

You are not alone.
Right now, peace is present.

✨ a deeper reflection + guided meditation inspired by Luke 24:35-48 is waiting for you on Substack ✨ link in bio

Beginning from exactly where you are — not more flexible, not more peaceful, not more put-together — just as you are. 🤍

Yoga is a continuous unfolding and gentle returning. A journey of connection described as — from the self, through the self, to the self.

And in the quiet, as the breath softens and the body settles, we are invited — if and as you feel comfortable — to journey with the One who created us from love, of love, and for love.

This new 20-minute flow is a practice for Lent to help us reconnect — mind, body, and soul.

✨ Find us on YouTube — link in bio.

Much Love,
C 🤍

Collective Embodied Pause

As you feel comfortable, take a moment now to pause. Notice your body—how you are seated, where there is tension, where there might be ease. There is nothing to fix.

Gently extending compassion to yourself, draw your awareness to your breath. Without changing it, simply notice it. Taking some longer breaths as we take an embodied pause.

On your next inhale, receive these words:
Beloved child.

As you exhale, softly release whatever weighs heavy.

Again, breathing in:
Beloved child.

Breathing out, allowing your shoulders, your jaw, your hands to soften.

Inhale: Beloved child.
Exhale: Do not be afraid.

Save and Repeat.

✨ You can find the Reflection on Substack — link in bio.
