WELP… I’m feeling it!

I don’t know what it is but when I feel like something has shifted within, I feel the need to change my hair. Like, “THIS” is what I have to do to express the shift that has happened on the inside for it to fully be expressed. A statement, an exclamation point, an “I have committed to” the showing up fully in the evolution and alignment of self. And this… was a BIG SHIFT.

The kind with resistance, the ugly cry, and girl friends having your back when you go head to head with yourself!

I started working with a coach with the intention to evolve my spiritual practice. The very first session opened up awareness on foundation (root), play (sacral), and inner dialog (solar plexus) around the Self Expression.

I will admit… I was offended! (the resistance!) But it was true! (the ugly cry!) The more I explored this (friends showed up) with my coach we discovered that I had a belief that I needed to look a certain way to be accessible, approachable, and be taken seriously in my work endeavors, in friendships, and in love. (Its partially true about some areas of my work.) Though I have dabbled and tested the waters in a few areas, I haven’t had the courage to show up in the fullest outward expression of myself.

Tomorrow, I am taking the first step. Hair. (Not surprising! Haha!) My wardrobe will slowly evolve, and I am scoping out tattoo artists. The conversation on my feed will start to shift, and I will be adding a different type of sound bath experience for those wanting to go deeper into meditative experiences. (Stay tuned) And the biggest expression of all VOICE, will come more into play.

I share this because I strongly believe if Im not showing up fully, how can I ask you? We may all be on different paths, but they all lead to the same place. Inner peace. We all deserve to live a life we love. And the first step is to look in the mirror. I’m nervous and feeling a lot of emotions around this, but excited to see it all come together. And most of all, feel fully expressed.

Evening Cup Introspection/ Almond milk Chai Latte / Sept 19th / 6:01pm / Kings Beach, CA.

There is a study by Santa Cruz University that compared historical views of looking out across an ocean or lake versus looking out across land. The study said that looking across these large bodies of water instilled hope, and that you could see and feel infinite possibility. Having the opportunity to do that this weekend did just that. It alleviated some fear I had over how this crowdfunding campaign would go. (Link in bio) Made me think about what success is for me, and to me. It's was the reset I needed to put a few things in perspective. Little bit of caffeine before I set out on the road back to the Bay. I hope you join me tomorrow in San Rafael for a beautiful Sound + Breath gathering under the stars with Faye Wilder, and then on Thursday in SF at StudioMix SF for a Heart Opening Vinyasa Flow followed by an integrative Sound Experience. Then! Sunday in LA for a sound immersion at JAM .

Lots of opportunities to hug it out!
