 Sometimes we forget. Of course we do!
We forget we are human. What? Yes. And we forget that we are also filled with spirit. It's not either or, it's both. And? Well, sometimes this navigating "both" makes the journey hard! Why? Because as a human, we crave form, the seen/known and we have physical needs. As human our tendency is to move toward that which we believe will make us happy; we move away from that which we believe will make us unhappy. This of course is an illusion. As spirit, we crave essence, the formless, the unseen/unknown. There's a deeper knowing that transcends what we believe will make us happy or unhappy. Meaning, our spirit knows happiness comes and goes. Sounds like a paradox navigating both. It is! And that is how we grow. Life is a paradox Why does re-membering this matter? For starters, let's recall that buddha taught us how to deal with suffering. Buddha did not teach about how to be enlightened. In my experience, re-membering (get it?) helps me navigate suffering with more ease. With ease comes greater awareness that inner peace comes from my ability to balance my human needs and my spiritual needs. With this awareness and balance a sense of freedom (from suffering) returns. The truth is, freedom is always available to us because it's a mindset. Yes, freedom is a choice. Freedom is even available when we are not feeling rooted/stable/balanced (which for is a a form of suffering). How is freedom available? By changing mindset to see the instability as teaching us how to let go. When we are attached, we are not free. Period. Re-membering I am both human and spirit helps me exhale when things are challenging. When I re-member, I am able to have compassion for my humanity/physicality/doing-ness and also reverence for my divinity/spirituality/being-ness. This is a magical paradoxical dance -- otherwise known as the art of awakening. As with art, sometimes it's highly emotional and provocative. It's chaotic, crazy, beautiful, and messy all at once. Take a moment and absorb this. Allow the wisdom to inform your doing AND your being...YOU. It's all one energy. Being + Doing = YOU. You must tend to BOTH. Most of us are very skilled at doing (the human part). Our culture reward$ it. Most of us neglect our being (the spirit part). Our culture doesn't yet fully understand and therefore support it. It's up to you to honor both your doing and your being. One way to do that? Get clear & awaken. >>>Awaken to your TRUE self.  You deserve to feel peaceful, supported, and well. Much human suffering comes from being "here", in the present, and wanting to be "there", in the past or the future. Are You Here Now? Being here now means you are present with what is here, RIGHT NOW. You are not in the past. You are not in the future. You are firmly rooted in the present moment. You accept what is, even if you wish certain things to be different. Remember, nothing changes until you accept. Then you will be free to act. Why do we endure the suffering that comes from being "here", in the present, and wanting to be "there", in the past or the future? Many reasons: Attachment, illusion that when we get "there" it will be "better", control, fear, conditioning, lack of faith, and misunderstanding to name a few. For today, can you be here now? Are you willing to invest 100% of your attention (thoughts/words/deeds) to being with what is? I promise you this. When you root yourself in the present, you will have the capacity to be still, listen, and then act in alignment with your divine nature. When you act in alignment with your divine nature, you rejuvenate your soul. What practices support being here now & releasing the past? We are your trusted partner in healing and renewal.  Isn't it time for whole body renewal?
True healing is more than physical — it’s emotional, mental, and spiritual. At Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary, we believe in caring for the whole you. That’s why our holistic healing services are thoughtfully designed to bring balance, clarity, and deep inner peace. Why don't many of us take the time for renewal? For many, "doing" takes precedence over "being". Why? Several reasons. Learned behavior, expectations, our devices, the noisy mind, and beliefs that we don't think we are worthy. We resist connecting to our being. At some point, we get tired of resisting and surrender. Sometimes we surrender on our own. Other times, we are forced to surrender (think "crisis"). Whatever you are experiencing, when you make time to "be", you renew body, mind, and spirit. Whether you're feeling burnt out, emotionally drained, or simply seeking more harmony in your life, our approach goes beyond traditional wellness. We blend ancient wisdom with modern techniques to guide you back to your natural state of well-being. Our offerings include holistic energy therapies like Reiki, Shamanic energy healing, chakra balancing, and guided meditation. These gentle yet powerful methods support the body’s energy flow, helping you release stress, improve focus, nourish and reconnect with your inner self.  I work with many people on manifesting, and perhaps letting go is the hardest part!
In this Mind the Gap podcast episode I dive into Letting Go — step 8 and the last one in the process of manifestation. What do you mean letting go!? Inherent in your burning desires are the mechanics for their fulfillment. Meaning, if you can see it, it’s possible. This is all about allowing your faith to lead you. It’s about working the steps and then paying attention to what is being shown to you. It’s about being open to tweaking your plan, and having an outcome that’s even more amazing than you originally desired! Divine intelligence has far more opportunities in store for us than our limited mind can imagine. We must let go to make space and “listen”! I also explain how letting go does not mean to stop taking action. Action is the foundation of all manifestation. I discuss how each of the preceding steps, (when followed!) puts us in a position to let go and receive the divine wisdom available for us. >>>Listen Here >>>Take Action - If you’re ready to manifest your desires, sign up for an akashic reading to support you.  One of the rituals we love to do at year end is reflect.
Why? We must know where we are...to know where we want to go. Light a fire, a candle, turn on some smooth jazz, get cozy, grab pen, paper. Take a few moments to breathe and center yourself. Ask yourself the following questions and give yourself time and space to see what flows: 1. What were the peak moments for me this year? These are experiences we felt alive, connected, joyful, fulfilled, successful. They can be specific things that happened as well as ways of being. 2. What were the challenging moments for me this year? These are experiences we felt disconnected, frustrated, afraid, unsure. They can be specific things that happened as well as ways of being. 3. What healthy habits served me well this year? 4. What unhealthy habits am I willing to let go of this year? 5. As I visual 2026, what do I want to create? Yes, you are the creator of your experience! Maybe you want to create a meaningful career, deeper friendships, divine partnership, improved health & well-being...more peace, laughter. The list is endless. 6. Who do I have to become in order to welcome in the above? The universe doesn't need more time. It needs YOUR energetic alignment. You are the magnet. You must align energetically to that which you wish to create. Have fun with this! Stay kind and compassionate. Looking for a deeper dive + support + accountability? >>>Let's do this! |
