But trust that when you zoom out and look down below, there is a plan in place.   New services here: www.moondancecoaching.com

43: Life‘s Wild Magic

When a caterpillar enters the chrysalis it becomes a liquid soupy mess before eventually becoming the stunning butterfly or moth. The Chrysalis is a phase in our lives that ushers us into our next Becoming. But we have to allow the time and space for it to occur. Otherwise we remain stuck in Caterpillar Land forever. Let's use this covid time/enforced-chrysalis-phase in our lives to wrestle with some fear and pain and emerge into a bigger dream.   www.moondancecoaching.com

38: Lessons from a Tiny Hippo

These days we so deeply understand physical hygiene to support our health and the health of those around us. We’ve gone to great measures on this front. Masks are becoming more fashionable. Hand sanitizer is at the front of every store. The social distanced air-hug is the new awkward goodbye. We are physical hygiene warriors. But what about the health of our spirit? Are you also practicing your spiritual hygiene? Don't be that kid. Make your hygiene a priority for the benefit of yourself and everyone around you! Here are 9 ways to start caring for the health of your spirit right now (and yes, these can all be practiced at a safe distance!)   Yin Yoga  +  Mindfulness Meditation Classes Personal Growth + Healing Coaching www.moondancecoaching.com

37: Practicing Spiritual Hygiene

...yet everything is accomplished. What has happened to our lives that we move so fast we can't feel this pace of nature's divine perfection? That we fill our lives so full to the brim that we can't accomplish everything and instead end up feeling overworked, overburdened, overwhelmed? We have a love affair with nature because she offers externally what we can't bring ourselves to create within. On this official first day of fall, the Fall Equinox, what wisdom can we glean from the divine perfection of nature?   Yin Yoga + Mindfulness Meditation Classes Personal Growth + Healing Coaching Programs

36: Nature Does Not Hurry

Just by being human, sometimes you're gonna find yourself smack dab in the middle of a wtf phase. It’s been one of those years where every time I start to experience a deep-seated and long-awaited feeling of ‘ahhh everything finally seems ok and I feel at peace in this moment’ then BAM something exceedingly strange happens and I’m thrown back into that ‘extreme wtf phase.' Here's to trusting in the process and wholeheartedly embracing the wtf phases of life.   Fall Virtual Yin + Mindfulness Classes [Sept 8 - Oct 20] www.moondancecoaching.com/events

35: Don't Worry, It's Just a [WTF] Phase.

So which of these 'wisdom-producing' practices has this global pandemic forced you to experience - maybe even appreciate?!Do you find yourself slowing down more lately? Staying grounded in one place? Appreciating your quiet time? Practicing - by force or by choice - the art of surrendering control?Is it possible this global pandemic has the ability to make us all more wise, self-aware, and content human beings?!Probably not. Or does it..??   Mentioned in this episode...

34: How to Become Wise

2020 is definitely a year of changes, and it can be about starting over in a fresh new way. This can be an exciting time that feels good with the promise of a new world on the horizon. We can learn to break the cycle of disconnection, destruction, and division that tears at our personal and worldly relationships by bypassing 'otherness' and tapping into an empowering empathy. It's time to throw out the stale templates of division. So here's to reaching out across the divides with open hearts and open minds. Here's to cohesion, the act of forming a united whole, and to the once in a lifetime opportunity to build a new world - together.  www.moondancecoaching.com 

33: An Empowering Empathy

My husband and I exist in very different experiences of the world. I'm a personal growth coach into healing and spirituality, and he's a police officer who has to deal with some pretty scary situations and interact with people who aren't always pleased to see him. Truly we don't always see eye to eye as our world experiences have shaped us so differently. One day a couple months ago, exhausted after a fight and stuck at an impasse, we came up with a manifesto of sorts and we both signed it - here are our seven values for building a better relationship. It strikes me now how this is simply good advice for all of us trying to make our way through the world. www.moondancecoaching.com

32: One Healed Relationship at a Time

When I wanted to change my life for the better, I asked for one thing: to feel a sense of peace and ease.  But I’m going to bring you in on a little secret: Peace and ease are NOT dependent on your external circumstances. You can change the container you're in hoping that you'll feel differently on the inside  - and you will feel better temporarily! But if your sense of peace and ease is based entirely on external circumstances, you will forever be stuck in the pursuit of happiness. And if you're tired of the chase...then it's time to take back your power and learn to embody a sense of peace and ease that you can carry with you no matter what your life throws at you.   Things mentioned...
