My husband and I joined 26 beautiful souls on Just Be Yoga’s Manifest Maui retreat. The life-changing experience was nothing short of extraordinary. We took the trip in celebration of my upcoming 40th birthday. So while the trip is very fresh on my mind, I wanted to journal and share 40 reflections from the retreat- ones that I hope to continue to soak in for quite some time…if not forever.
- The greatest yogis may be the newest ones on their mats. Heck…you may be even married to one. 🙂
- Kids laugh 300 times a day; adults only 30. Another great reminder why our littles continue to be our greatest teachers.
- Sometimes the ocean may eat your phone…literally. That reality may suck for a bit, but then you know it will be okay…and may even be a good thing.
- Our mothers are always with us…even when they are not.
- We are co-creating always. The universe has your back if you are in alignment with your purpose and in the right time.
- Believe that you can. Believe that you will. Shift from “if it happens” to “when it happens” with no attachment.
- Sometimes the best thing you can do is let go. Allow instead of control. Intend instead of expect.
- Create space to do nothing.
- Create space to feel.
- Create space to be with Mother Earth.
- Unexpected friendships can arise even when you are lounging by yourself with a good book.
- There are no coincidences.
- Feel supported by your visible posse AND your invisible posse.
- Your invisible posse IS real and will support you in ways that you hadn’t imagined.
- Lead with your heart, and root with your core…root into Mother Earth. Root to Rise.
- Create new families.
- Balance is necessary- masculine with feminine; strength with ease; darkness with light.
- Dowsing rods are a real thing..and pretty cool. 🙂
- Believe in your own superpower.
- Mother Earth will show you what it wants to show you.
- Music has the power to raise our vibrations and heal the world.
- Sometimes the person you may need to forgive the most is yourself. Ho’oponopono.
- Trust your intuition. Trust.
- Jump in the ocean with your clothes on. Why the heck not?!
- Sat Nam. Truth in your name…even in how you pronounce it.
- We don’t need to understand everything for us to believe.
- Nourish yourself to nourish the world…especially with yummy chia pudding.
- BE light to spread light.
- Play, play, play.
- Look for the signs. They surround us.
- Pause and take in a breath of fresh air like it’s your last breath. You may actually remember it.
- Spend time alone.
- You CAN learn the ukulele and sing your heart out on the beach in an hour with new friends. Yes- you can.
- Feel grateful for all kinds of friends- the new ones that open your eyes to new ways of being and the ones you have known for lifetimes.
- Take time to process. Take time.
- With each new moon set new intentions. We can always start over.
- The world is FILLED with incredible humans who are inspiring and awakening hearts.
- To change the world, we cannot go at it alone. We MUST band together to raise collective consciousness.
- We are ONE.
- Manifest your dreams. Make the impossible possible.
Thank you Just Be Yoga! We are eternally grateful!
