 Valentine's Day is Friday, 2/14/25.
It's one of our favorite occasions here at the Sanctuary. Why? We love to love & Valentine's Day is a reminder of why we are here. Taking care of our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self is an act of self-love that keeps on giving. From our own self-love, all other love grows. In fact, the ability to nourish ourselves first, enables us to effectively (aka without resentment) nourish others.

I shared how the discomfort of loss caused me to question life.
Discomfort comes in many forms: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial... When we are uncomfortable long enough, many of us eventually decide to try something else. Perhaps we surrender in some way. We are tired. In the fatigue, we become more willing to open ourselves, ask questions, and allow guidance to come through. It's quite a paradox - as is this life! As we surrender to the discomfort, the gifts start to emerge. I was reminded of this again. The question asked was, "what is the simplest way to receive guidance?". The answer: discomfort. Why discomfort? As humans, most of us don't like discomfort. We will do almost anything to avoid it. And yet, by avoiding it, we perpetuate it. We also lose connection to wisdom and ultimately healing when we ignore discomfort. What to do? When discomfort shows up, we can welcome it as a source of guidance. We can connect to it instead of avoid it. How? We can connect to discomfort by asking questions. For a simple example, if we are uncomfortable because we are tired, we can ask things such as: Why am I tired? Am I always tired? Does something need to change? Maybe the guidance is telling us to rest. Or perhaps we are being guided to make some other changes in our life situation. Often we have energy leaks we don't even realize. For a more complex example, if we are uncomfortable because our love partner isn't showing up in the relationship, we can ask things such as: How long has this been happening? What is going on with them? Do I need to get support? Maybe the guidance is telling us to speak up, ask, advocate. In short, to take action. Energy healing and meditation are 2 practical tools to help us navigate discomfort and tap into the guidance awaiting us. After all, if we weren't uncomfortable, nothing would change.  What: Workshop: Emotional Mastery - Breaking Free with Stephanie Filardi
When: Saturday, December 7, 2024 @11:00AM-1:00PM EST LIVE via ZOOM This workshop will go deeper into some of the concepts (ego, suffering, pain body, karma, manifestation) introduced in the Living in Now Workshop, based on the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. Note, you may still attend this workshop even if you didn't attend the previous one. Why: As humans, we are driven by emotion. In fact, emotion is one of the most beautiful aspects of being "human". However, when we make choices purely out of emotion, we can end up creating more suffering and drama than intended. This workshop is designed to help you learn how to deal with emotions skillfully using the tools of presence and conscious awareness. What to Expect: 2 hour LIVE & interactive workshop via ZOOM. This workshop will be recorded - if you can't join LIVE, you will still receive the recording when you register. Topics to be discussed: -What is ego and how is it connected to human dysfunction? -How does the ego create suffering by keeping us attached/identified/separate? -What are the many faces / roles of ego and how do we navigate them skillfully? -What is emotion and why does it have so much power over our behavior? -What is the connection of emotion and ego? -What is the pain body and how does it relate to our emotion? -How does the pain body create unnecessary suffering for ourselves and others? -How do we recognize the pain body and deal with it? -What are the ways we can break free from the pain body? To Register: RSVP is required via link below. Investment $45, Early Bird Special If registered after December 5th, $55 >>>Register Here  We all have one.

September is yet another month of transition for many of us.
Back to school, back to work. Some are experiencing an empty nest for the first time. Some are experiencing the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a way of life. Now what? With transition often comes a lot of complex and intense emotions. We may experience feeling "weird", unhinged, even afraid. We may ask, "Who Am I Now"? Inhale curiosity. Exhale control. Emotions and feeling "weird" are part of the human condition. As one of my Bikram yoga teacher says when we are in camel pose (deepest backbend of class/challenging posture), "it's normal to feel weird and weird to feel normal". Ha! Give yourself grace. We are here to support you. Our services are designed to provide sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit. Take Care of Yourself!!! >>>Book Now |
