As we approach the final few months of the year...and as the Holidays draw near... it's the perfect time  to pause and make time to care for body, mind, and spirit. 

While it may feel like life is moving fast and we don't have "enough" time to get it all done...this is actually the best time to slow down and nourish ourselves.

When we are intentional about how we want to live our life...end our year...refreshed, renewed, and in joy perhaps, we make choices to support it.

In addition to our upcoming events listed below, we are here to support you with our Sanctuary offerings of therapeutic massage, yummy facials, and uplifting energy balancing.

Full Moon Release Ritual with Stephanie

Hello Friends,

When the moon is full it's a wonderful time to release what we've been carrying that no longer serves.
Yes, it takes courage to let go and take a stand for the life we want!  We will be challenged. We will face obstacles. The initiation from child to adult requires we do the work, get the support, and use the tools.
If not for ourselves, then for our children and their children. 

And life... it's an awe inspiring cycle of birth and death, creation and destruction, beginnings and endings, openings and closings. Since we are life, when we consciously choose to let go of old ways that need to "die", we create space for new ways that are waiting to be birthed into being. It's a celebration really!!!

Enjoy this shamanic full moon release ritual recording to help you be you.
Gift yourself the time to really sink into this. Click Here For Recording.

Namaste,
Stephanie 

 SeeAwakening to You - Embodying Shamanic Wisdom with Stephanie
Thursday, June 13, 2019
​7:00pm-9:00pm
Wainwright House in Rye, NY 


A dear friend recently asked,"Stephanie, what is your life purpose"? Without skipping a beat, I said, "to help people awaken".

No small task in a noisy world that appears to keep us asleep...or at times wake us up with unbearable suffering.

And so, as many of you know, I am dedicated to passing along what I have learned and lived so that perhaps your journey is slightly "easier". You are not alone. 

Is it time to reclaim your power and purpose by embracing fearless? It's fun. It's scary. It's freeing.

If this resonates, check out this workshop designed purposefully to help you awaken. See video below.
​
We will use the physical body as a portal to gain access to the deeper wisdom within. 

We will explore the shamanic principles of jaguar medicine: fearlessness, non-doing, certainty and non-engagement to help you overcome inertia in your life. 

Using gentle yoga poses, guided shamanic journeying, and reflection exercises learn ways to move beyond the conditioned mind, overcome fears, and awaken to your authentic self.

Move from stuck to unstuck and gain wisdom on action steps required to live your most authentic life. 

Cultivate and deepen the relationship with jaguar medicine to help protect your energy. 

Move beyond fear and anger paving the way to step fully and confidently into the life you were meant to live.

Come away with greater awareness, an energetic re-boot, and simple tools to use in your daily life. No yoga experience necessary.

"We are not limited by what we don't have. We are limited by what we don't use." -Bob Goff

Lately in my conversations with people there is a recurring theme: shift.
More specifically, the need/desire/want for a shift in...something.

What I am noticing in these interactions is how often we get caught in the false belief that shift happens outside of us. Meaning, we are looking to something or someone outside of ourselves to make it better so to speak. We often waste energy suffering while we "wait". We feel stuck, agitated, depressed. It's a rabbit hole that we can get lost in, and drag others down with us, if we are not mindful.

Here's what I want to suggest.
Instead of looking and waiting for the shift to happen on the outside (i.e: job, home, relationship, financial situation, family, etc), look inside.

Let me explain.
When we shift our perspective and look within, we prevent further energy drain in the form of suffering. We open ourselves to receive clarity about what we can do. We move from ego/lack mindset to divine/prosperity mindset.
As we move from lack to prosperity, we discover we have what we need inside of us to take action. The energy shifts from dis-connected /dis-empowering to connected / empowering.

Why is this internal shift important? 
Shifting our awareness within helps us access the deeper "I", which is the place of stillness some experience during meditation, writing, running... When we access the deeper "I" we bring together the dimension of stillness and thinking. This process opens the doorway to empowered action. Insights and choices arise that were once blocked when we were caught in ego/lack mindset.

Personal Example:
I don't have children, yet. For a long time, I didn't want children. I chose to focus on building my career  and becoming an "adult" myself to say the least!
Today, I want children in my life. I am open to how that happens.
At times when people ask me about having children, and then hear I am 43, etc, etc, it can be "depressing" --- if I allow myself to get caught in the belief of what I don't have...children. 
Sometimes I create my own suffering with thoughts about not have/will never have/impossible etc.
Following me? I trust some of you understand what I am saying here. Pretty much when we focus on what we don't have, and think we ought to have, whatever that is, we suffer. The greater the gap between what we don't think we have...and what we want...the greater the suffering. So, let's mind the gap and work to reduce and close it so we return to inner peace (soul congruence - more on this another time)

In talking with people and reflecting on my own inquiry about children, I realized it makes so much more sense to focus on what we can do about it!  I am a triple Leo so action is in my blood anyway. 

When I began shifting my attention inward, accessing the "deeper I", I got clear on what I am not using in my desire to have children in my life. From this I realized I want to help foster families deal with challenging feelings and navigating the parent/child relationship. Relationships are one of my favorite topics and I have many tools to offer in service to this. Voila. Stillness. Clarity. Action. 

If you are feeling the suffering of wanting something outside of you to shift, please, stop it. Try what I have explained here. Shift your focus within. Access the "deeper I". Discover what have within right now that you can use in service to what you want to shift outside. Then take empowered action. Be patient. Everything is a process.

​Namaste.

Honoring Passions by Stephanie

Last week I spoke about the importance of having a theme for 2019.

This week I am wondering if you have come up with your theme and if so, how are you acting upon it daily?

As for me, so far it's been quite easy taking action on my 2019 theme (which is honoring/living my passions everyday). A big part of the "ease" came from being on vacation (passion) in a warm place (passion) doing things I love like yoga, beach walks, etc.

If you have not yet chosen a 2019 theme, or haven't yet made time for the honoring, it's not too late!!!

I've been logging my daily passion on both my facebook and instagram pages if you want inspiration or to follow!

Life is too, live it well!!
