Hello Friends and Fellow Yogis,

It is hard to believe we are once again nearing the completion of our annual trip around the sun. I’m not sure that 2021 has been any easier than our 2020 trip but I can say with extreme certainty that this trip has taught me many lessons. 

As I pause and continue to gaze back at the path that was this last calander year I am humbled by your grace and tenderness. I have bore witness to emotional upheaval, life altering tragedies, extreme generosity, and undeniable strength. You, my tribe, my dear ones have faced so much and I stand again and again humbled by your ability to rise up in your individual strength but also in support of each other. You inspire me and your dedication to love both inward and outward ignites my inner fire to keep placing one foot in front of the other and strengthens my undying belief in the beauty of humanity. 

Beginning to turn towards the unknown of 2022 I invite you to take sometime and set an intention for the coming year or even just this season.

To do this I recommend finding a sweet spot that is conducive to honest inquiry where you feel safe so energy can flow freely. 

Gather materials that are supportive of your intention process. These could be crystals, photographs, flowers, sage, a notebook, blanket, cushion or anything that helps you feel nested and settled.

Create a comfortable seat or lying position.

Breath 4 counts in 8 counts out or as close as you can get without feeling physically or mentally grippy. 

After a few minutes breathing like this and a brief pause at the top of the inhale or the bottom of the exhale. Be open to either and explore the one that feels pregnant with possibilities. 

Pose a question or statement to your inner self or soul. Like “ I am open to receiving wisdom and truth that aligns my spirit and ego for my highest good.”

Listen.

Sit with your answer.

Write it down. If it feels incomplete or off repeat the practice the next time you sit.

I am choosing to set the intention to trust and rest in the belief that what is meant for me will continue to unfold. I remain open to receiving messages and willing to do the work in service of my souls highest truth. I trust in the energies beyond my physical knowing to guide and protect me as I continue to dedicate myself not to any predetermine outcome or metric but to my becoming. 

As we walk our own paths side by side, I trust that through the sacred relationships we share by being in service to this practice of connectivity we will all expand in our grace, in our physical manifestations and what we carry deep within.

All My Love - Sarah
