I have officially completed the first stage of my training to teach Pilates Reformer 1. I still have some teaching hours to get in prior to my certification.

I looking forward to having this wonderfully effective tool to help you build a more balanced body.

Like yoga it is a practice that increases strength and flexibility as well as mindfulness.

Transcendent Wellness is currently offering Pilates Reformer group Circuit Training Classes and individual instruction.

As someone who regularly uses mudra in my daily meditation practice. I saw this meme and got a little little chuckle.

Happy Easter to all of my friends regardless your faith.

May your heart become a vessel flowing living water to the world with the fire of pure LOVE and LIGHT.

Loving this. If you are a Christian who practices yoga this is a must read.

"Imagine feeling more love from someone than you have ever known. You’re being loved even more than your mother loved you when you were an infant, more than you were ever loved by your father, your child, or your most intimate lover – anyone. This lover doesn’t need anything from you, isn’t looking for personal gratification, and only wants your complete fulfillment.

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success – none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.

Imagine that being in this love is like relaxing endlessly into a warm bath that surrounds and supports your every movement, so that every thought and feeling is permeated by it. You feel as though you are dissolving into love.

This love is actually part of YOU; it is always flowing through you. It’s like the subatomic texture of the universe, the dark matter that connects everything. When you tune in to that flow, you will feel it in your own heart – not your physical heart or your emotional heart, but your spiritual heart, the place you point to in your chest when you say, “I am.”

This is your deeper heart, your intuitive heart. It is the place where the higher mind, pure awareness, the subtler emotions, and your soul identity all come together and you connect to the universe, where presence and love are.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not “I love you” for this or that reason, not “I love you if you love me.” It’s love for no reason, love without an object. It’s just sitting in love, a love that incorporates the chair and the room and permeated everything around. The thinking mind is extinguished in love.

If I go into the place in myself that is love and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That’s the entrance to Oneness.”

~Ram Dass, “Be Love Now” ♡ ♡

Alan Watts on Meditation.

To paraphrase him...there is no purpose for meditation if you seek a purpose you've lost the point.

"Meditation is like diggin the present, groovin with the eternal now."

When I'm learning is the more I practice it. The more I find myself in that state of consciousness.

I've always been a person who is very excited about life and can easily be carried away.

I'm also very much a deep thinker. And can dive deep into the past to see understanding.

And though both of those things are wonderful, they're part of being a human and alive, there is nothing quite like the feeling of being fully and completely present.

It is both joyous and deeply peaceful.

"Your body is precious. It is your vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care." Siddhartha Gautama

If anyone knows the original author of this incredible quote, please let me know so I can tag them! 😌 Have you ever had an explosive reaction like this during your work breaking the people-pleasing pattern? Most of the folks I work with have.

The more we speak up for ourselves, the more we realize how small we used to become in others’ presence. We begin to see how often we exchanged our comfort for those who didn’t have our best interests at heart. And suddenly, we’re flooded with tsunamis of resentment toward loved ones and strangers alike⁠.

Sometimes, these reactions take place in relationships that have long been toxic. Cascades of pent-up anger from years of mistreatment boil to the surface. It’s the final straw, and our emotional outburst can provide the motivation we need to evacuate the unhealthy relationship for good.

Sometimes, these reactions take place in relationships that are generally healthy and positive. The other person may have misstepped, or acted in a way that felt unfair, and it triggered our wounds from past relationships in which we went entirely unheard and unseen. In these cases, it’s important to both 1) normalize our reaction, and 2) take responsibility for how our outburst may hurt the other person. We are fully entitled to our emotions, but how we express them⁠ matters.

By learning how to set small, real-time boundaries in the moment, we prevent our resentments and frustrations from boiling over. Learn how in my on-demand workshop Boundaries 101 for the Recovering People-Pleaser⁠—watch it today at https://www.haileymagee.com/on-demand-workshops/boundaries-101

Suffering on the life is greatly reduced when we practice these things, and we are able to let go of trying to control and manipulate life to move in way but suits how we want our story to unfold.

So...

Be here now.

Communicate your truth in kindness and love .

Practice understanding and forgiveness.

Surrender to the divine.

Sometimes life is a lazy river other times we're in the rapids... the ride is easier when you go with the flow.
