Bodhi and Spirit

What space do you create each day to touch your heart? What touches your heart?
What form of Spirit inspires you? 🫀

Let's talk spiritual hygiene shall we?
In a society that chooses to glorify *convenience*, we get on ourselves in such a fixating, negative way that does not illuminate how valuable sustainability is.

Spiritual practice isn't about convenience.
Spiritual practice is about the subtleties.

I challenge you to do something everyday that touches your heart.
Small, sustainable ways that connect you to Spirit -
YOUR Spirit & the energy around you ✨

Don't wait for the Big moments. They won't be there.
We feel Spirit and our hearts in small, subtle ways and that sustainability helps discern when to know the nervous system needs to slow down too. It comes back online, and we slow down ENOUGH to listen to the world around us ~ and in turn ~ slows way down enough to listen to the world within you.

Our environment and what we choose to do with our energy makes up who we are. What will you use this precious energy of yours for?

Do something for your heart, your Spirit, your body and connect them all ~ and see the world open up around you.

🫀put on music while you get ready and move your body in different ways, new ways; slow and unrushed ways
🫀read an excerpt of a poem with your morning drink
🫀go on a phone-less walk in the morning when the world is quiet & you feel that natural, primal connection

There are so many ways we can tap in
DON'T BECOME A ROBOT!
In our world full of external validations, we are only violating the connection to ourselves.
Touch your heart in small, beautiful, present ways and it will become easier to listen and slow down; you don't have to do it all at once or wait for big moments to come back. And come back again and again and again until it's natural ✨

Ways to connect to the cyclic nature of Imbolc / half way point of Winter Solstice & Spring Equinox 🌱

Imbolc means "in the belly" | budding | planting of seeds
And this time of year, as unfavored to the Northern Hemisphere as it is, is still a vital cycle for nature and our own.

This time of year, things will start to bud, and looking for that & connecting to this season is such a hopeful time if you allow it!

- Go outside and feel the sun on your face in moments it is out; close your eyes and experience the warmth.
Or find sunlight in other ways: vitamin D, red light therapy, or even the warmth in the body will help like sweat/ saunas / warm yoga classes
- Take deep breaths outside in the morning for vitality
- Explore deep into nature and seek the budding, the green
- Get your hands or feet into the soil after the snow melts
- Plant seeds inside your home; find easy to grow herbs for your kitchen! Bring plants into your homes to bring life there!
- Clean up your spaces so your home & environment feels fresh, spaciousness and decluttered. Declutter your space, declutter the mind
- Celebrate Imbolc with food, crafts, & friends. Share stories, intentions for the upcoming season & hopes for Spring

Soon enough, Spring will arrive and we will be ready to bloom with nature

SEASON SERIES ☪️
Each month we will discuss the energies of a New Moon, and the loving reminder that we are cyclic.

Capricorn Season is about practical embodiment and orienting to where one values. It is about walking the talk, and commitment that allows alignment.

🕯️ Starting with the physical realm,
what does your body need from you?

Check in to the health of the body and how it ripples out to the mind, to the Spirit, to your routines.
As we enter a New Moon soon, this time supports our needs to check inward. Brew up the kind of intentions needed this week and next for the physical aspects of life: health, body, routines, goals - your system will feel valued and thank you for planting such robust seeds.

Inspire with your story-telling ~ what physical realms are you being drawn to focus on? 🌀⤵️🌀

It is hard to express the gratitude & joy in offering healing experiences such as our last: Revival Retreat... but these lovely words received from women who explored, transformed, and left revived definitely support such gratitude!

Britt, of Bodhi and Spirit, is a Registered Yoga Teacher, retreat facilitator, women's mentor ~ and lover of ritual, writing, & movement. Welcome.

"Through my own dark nights of the soul, I found myself more and more interested in the deeper roots of our pain, how it manifests in the body, but also how potent the wisdom is within... if we listen.

The more we listen,
the more receptive we are,
and the capacity to trust ourselves
GROW 🌱

In my experience, I have witnessed countless moments of deep connection throughout working with women in such ways these last 4 years.

As my own practice turned into 1:1 mentorship, retreats, and leading a circle of women each month, I'd find the invaluable discoveries of artful expression, breath and emotional body connection. These modalities become medicine to the soul, but are not for the faint of heart. I wish to guide you into your personal edges, but liberation of the heart expressed!

Working with women is like co-creating with the divine feminine. There is a force so beautiful, like a force of nature. My deepest WHY is to create experiences for permission; for others to freely be themselves in every capacity; for you, for me.

Let us co-create magic together!"🕯️

P.S. Revival Retreat is filling up to the brim with ready, open, heart-led women and only a few more spots are left ~ claim yours ~ in the link in my bio! $444 for a weekend of magic!
OCTOBER 27-29, 2023

We believe you can create the path, relationship and life you desire on your own - but it is also human to crave community and have a sense of belonging.

To want to be loved, seen and supported for who you are in your rawest form is a GIFT that keeps on giving ~ when you are open to receiving it.

In our upcoming program HER REVOLUTION, you can expect somatic breath & intimate body connections to bring forth the feminine Spirit, but also learn to process your emotions and show up, together.

Shifts happen with the momentum of a community.
Magic happens ✨

We initiate a greater source of power within us when we courageously do so with guidance & trusted support.

Join us September 26th-October 31st

What we can discover in such a short amount of time! Such a humbling testimonial, and it all helps if you are open to the experience! ✨

What if everything you've gone through was so you could learn to come out the other side?

What if all you've learned was a part of your purpose?

And what if you could see the beauty in your story, process, healing and all of your emotions?

Perhaps then you'll stop thinking the past was full of mistakes and see it full of wisdom.
Perhaps you'd accept yourself for who you are.

Then it won't matter how you get there,
Because you're enjoying who you're
BECOMING in this precious journey

"Cheers to your rising"⚡✨

Think of the physical body as a carrier and our emotions are flowing through all of the channels within us, like rivers. Our emotions are energy, and shift our own. They stay within the body, especially the ones that are heavy, until they're tended to & released.

Tending to our emotional body is:
A space where we step into our inner world. If we tend, we learn how to respond vs. react, let the ego take a back seat, and invite vulnerability to be present.

This is the main element in
⚡ Her Revolution: emotional body connection ⚡

We are going to first invite emotional awareness ~ tend ~ explore ~ then amplify the emotions for sweet release, unleashing, and revelations to come forth.

What magic will be found! ✨
And what support you will have in this space!

Tending to your emotional body is like a door, opening you to the realms of your heart, truth, story and aliveness.

Come join us in exploring the very humanness of you, where all emotions are welcome and revolution is created ⚡
Early Bird prices are still going!

Express without explaining yourself

How do you feel about embracing what your heart's desires? 🕯️

Is there a bit of shame, dash of secrecy, or even a hidden door that you rarely open?
These are common and we all have experienced a little bit of hesitation in opening our hearts. There is so much power in the pursuit of your brave, fierce heart.

Our heart is the 🗝️ to our truth and the bridge to our commitment. All these beliefs attach to emotions, live in the body and within the soul.

If you YEARN, or if you feel like something is missing, only you can explore it and bring it forth. And... it's calling you too.

Even if you're not clear on where your heart wishes to go, the body usually can let us know: if we listen.

FOR THE FIERCE HEARTS ❤️‍🔥
Swipe >>> for a writing ritual

Create a mood: grab your journal, favorite pen, grounding oil, aromas, and a nice warm, rose tea or cacao and journey....

Tending to the heart takes consistently showing up and sometimes a lot of work.
The good news? This invitation to soften finds more space for your TRUTH.

Who would you become the more you tend to your heart? The more you open your heart?
To possibility, new beliefs, acceptance, deserving of love, receiving...

It all starts with the relationship with yourself and how committed you are to nurturing that relationship.

I sent this to a client and figured perhaps someone else needs to hear this: you do not always need to protect your heart.

The more it hardens, the more we experience only a surface level of life!

Allow yourself to create safety in the body by continuing showing up and finding support when you need it.
🖤

🕊️ Take the leaps out of your comfort zone (who knows who you'll unleash on the other side).

❤️‍🔥 Accept all parts of you and then you may accept who you came here to be.

🌿 Notice the growth in your expansion (and what is falling away to create space for new).

>>> Finding support in your healing with grace and the deepest trust in the timing and journey of it all.
Cheers to your unfolding!

What phase do you feel you're in at this time?

How does the body desire to express today to feel more like you?

The gateway is in & through the body.

In & through the breath, lower body energy work, emotional connection, and compassion for all feelings ~
Opens up the gateways to a deeper knowing, trusting, and being who you came here to be.

It takes courage, vulnerability, and a fire within that is willing to clear the way for authentic expression.
Our expression comes in many forms as we all go through ebbs & flows of emotions.

It does not need to make sense to anyone else if it makes you feel alive ⚡

Solstice x Cancer Season
🕯️ A RETURN TO LIGHT 🕯️
