Today, on this full moon, I went to Sydney with @veganliciouslife to stand in power with a diverse group of women at the Women’s March. This march centred black, indigenous and womxn of colour which was bloody fantastic!! We heard from the amazing Yumi Stynes, Auntie Norma, Bhenji Ra, Jane Brock, Bri Lee and Rae Johnston. All amazing women leading in activism, writing, media and indigenous/immigrant affairs. I was there to stand for intersectional feminism. I was there to support and centre BIPOC and I was there for my boys. I want to do more to change the world we live in. I want to face myself, continue to do the inner work and to always be open to saying sorry, doing better and taking responsibility for my actions. I will always take responsibility for my own healing and for who I am in this world. I will never be a doormat again. I will never let someone take my power. I will create healthy boundaries for myself that empower me to discern what is right for me regardless of the reaction. I urge you all to consider what you are upholding within in order to stay safe, stay small and stuck. You are your children’s role model. Who are you going to be? #lovemyself #reclaimyourpower #smashthepatriarchy #globalbloodprayers #womensmarchsydney #womensmarch #womenempowerment #womenspower

Yesterday, the crew at Modern Organic got together for a photo session just before sunset. Kiran, you are a talented woman. 📷 @modern_organic Thanks so much for the wonderful photos. You really captured me!! #yoga #lovemyself #reclaimyourpower #lovethyself

This photo shared with permission from the beautiful birthing mumma. The support you need during birth goes beyond the physical realm. You need emotional, physical and spiritual connection with yourself, your baby and your support people and care provider. They need to see you, hear you, hold you and give you the time and space to move through each moment lovingly. Additional childbirth education to the hospital courses will provide you with a well rounded and informed toolkit, that allows you to make decisions from both your intuition and your mind. My @birthingfromwithin courses for couples give you a space to unpack your perception of birth and your fears, whilst sharing multi sensory pain coping practices for all stages of labour. My workshops are created with you in mind. I go with your flow!!! That’s how it’s supposed to be. Your body knows how to give birth, you just need to get out of the way to let it happen. NEXT BIRTH WORKSHOP JANUARY 19th. Full day with lunch plus notes. DM me if you’d like more info.

PRENATAL // The structure of prenatal has changed this year! We are offering a monthly, 2 hour class/workshop, starting THIS SATURDAY with Astrid from @singingbirdyoga
These two hour Prenatal workshops are for pregnant women from 12-42 weeks gestation. You will experience a combination of childbirth education and prenatal yoga from an experienced prenatal yoga teacher, Birthing from Within Mentor®️ and doula (birth support person). Prepare to awaken a powerful woman who is ready to birth not only her baby, but a mother who is more conscious and more connected with herself and deeply tuned to the process of birth and postpartum.

The purpose of these workshops is to help you begin the inner journey of pregnancy, preparing you for what happens when things don’t go to plan and how to make informed choices during your labour. Each month we will uncover different topics for your personal growth and these may include menstruation (your first rite of passage), how you were born, stages of labour, poses for labour, fears, preparing for postpartum, relationship changes & breastfeeding.
$40 per 2 hour workshop. Bookings via our website or the link in the Facebook event.
Tag any expectant mummas! There are spaces left. @singingbirdyoga

Higher spiritual teachings of Conscious Relationship often emphasize that we see and own our projections.

Projections are the ways we see people/experiences from our past and project them onto our present day partners and relationships.

Conscious Relationship, in principle, is all about taking responsibility for our relationship patterns.

That means we begin to see how we unconsciously seek people who can activate and trigger us in ways that allow us to see our blind spots and thus, heal our wounds.

Seeing the ways in which we contribute to our patterns might look like acknowledging that we aren’t entirely helpless in our relationships.

It might look like admitting (even if only to ourselves) that sometimes we aren’t so pleasant to be around either.

What it doesn’t mean, is that because we acknowledge these aspects of our own personality, that we need to accept half-baked, misaligned love in our lives.

The purpose of owning our part in relationship is so that we can grow spiritually and attract love that mirrors our own internal wholeness, rather than mirroring our unfinished business from the past.

We have to be careful not to trap ourselves in a situation where we’re continuously hitting a wall with someone, yet staying in the game too “learn more”. We don’t need to stay in relationship with a person who doesn’t value us.

In fact, often times, we grow by finally learning to stand for our worth and set the necessary boundaries to attract something more aligned with our highest good.

Sometimes we run from healthy love because we don't yet believe we're worthy of it.

These are the scenarios where we need to lean in and give ourselves an opportunity to do the work in intimate relationship.

Other times, we’re caught in a loop with partners who don't show up for us. This is when we cut the chord.

No two paths are the same. You cannot take blanket advice and apply it to your life without knowing yourself more intimately.

This is so much good news!! But she has to wait til August to be released. Let’s hold her in our thoughts so that she is protected and safe until then. This outcome is the result of people coming together and fighting for justice.

Cyntoia Brown will be freed!!!!!!! Thank you to Gov. Bill Haslam and everyone that fought for, shined light on, posted, signed petitions and so on... to make this happen!!!!!

This is one of my most recent paintings. I’ve been painting seed/womb shapes for a long time now. It’s my thing! If you like it, I’m going to start selling and making paintings this year! I’m thinking intuitive, channeled, personal art works as therapy and for healing. I’ll explain more later as the information comes through! In the meantime, if you are pregnant, @modern_organic is hosting me to teach two hour long #prenatalyoga workshops to help you prepare for birth and beyond. FIRST ONE IS SATURDAY 12th JANUARY. We will practice yoga for an hour and do the inner work for the other hour. The inner work may include menstruation healing, body shame, birth imprint, labour imitates life, breastfeeding, labour practice, pushing,transition, sex, intimacy, what happens when things don’t go to plan...the list is endless! Book in over at Modern Organics webpage through MINDBODY app. Or call them to book in online. Booking is essential!! Join us to dive into topics that might make you uncomfortable. Face your fears and prepare birth!!! #birth #pregnancy #birthingfromwithin #smashthepatriarchy #reclaimyourpower #menstruation #prenatalyoga #yoga

How many selfies does it take to get a good one? Turns out, it takes about 20. 🤣 🤷🏼‍♀️We live in a strange world! I’ve have been to the underworld this year. Deep underground to my shadow side and back. Today I can say that I might just love it enough to carry it gently, and with care, in my back pack. Could it be that the sides are coming together for me? That I can love and appreciate my whole self? I think it’s a practice and lifelong work. Doing the inner work to smash the patriarchy/racism is a must. It’s my lifes work to be a better human. I give great thanks to the lessons of this year. They have been hard but so rewarding. Did I tell you that my brother gave me one of his electric guitars for Christmas? Oh my god, im loving it!!! So grateful Mitch!! I give great thanks to having the courage to face my fears. I give great thanks to seeing that my ego cannot rule it all. I give great thanks to my heart for stepping up to the plate and taking charge. Thank you to time, because you are a healer. Thank you my body for holding so much grief and releasing it healthily with tears. Thank you to those of you who have journeyed with me in my classes, workshops and retreats. Thank you for the many lessons you have given me. I give great thanks for this weather and the ocean. For it all. I’m feeling it today. I’m grateful. #smashthepatriarchy #reclaimyourpower #ocean #grateful #lovemyself #lovethyself #selflove #yoga #prenatal #yoga

Dehydrated oranges! They look so good in the window and they taste amazing!
Wishing you all a vibrant, in the moment, compassionate, conscious day!! Today, We will be celebrating summer, creativity, spontaneity, our triumphs, our challenges and all that is, as it is!!! Go gently today as you make your way to family gatherings. Ram Dass says “You think you’re enlightened until you spend time with family” Your family will bring up all your stuff, all your wounds! Before reacting, notice why you’re feeling agitated or frustrated. What is it reminding you of? Decide how you use your energy. Is it best to listen and then walk away? Is it best to respond whilst validating the other person? How can you be conscious with family at this sometimes intense, yet fun time of the year? Every moment is a chance for reflection and growth. For those of you with your kids today, open the space in your heart for their essence to come through. Allow them to be who they are without your input, without the judgement of who you think they should be. Our kids will trigger us for our own growth. It’s always our choice whether we react or respond consciously. I’m a work in progress. Always! It’s my life’s work to continue to live consciously and hold space for women to do the same. It has been a privilege to continue to do this work with you this year!!Xxxxxx#reclaimyourpower #christmas #consciousness #drshefali #ramdass #dehydratedorange #decorations #growth

I found some vines in the garden and made the boys a wreath each. They smell delicious!!! Im about to make some food for tomorrow and make some decorations from old real estate magazines. I’m also cutting up oranges, dehydrating them and going to make some fun window displays. I shall share all that on stories. Celebrating Summer and this very profound full moon!!!! I’m out of the cocoon!! I’m ready!!! #globalbloodprayers #smashthepatriarchy #reclaimyourpower #christmas #summer #fullmoon #fullmoonenergy #wreath #flowerwreath #love #nature

BLESSINGS ON SUMMER SOLSTICE 9.23am EST OZ. Are you feeling this energy? It’s like a breath of fresh air within. It feels like a fog is lifting. I’m seeing where I need to go and be. It’s directly under my nose. It’s the magic of the present. It’s the trusting in adventures, plans, ideas and feelings even though we don’t know how or when or what. Be open to the magic within and without. Express yourself authentically. Your gifts might inspire people. Your gifts might inspire change. Go forth with your heart and burst open. Throw the confetti of your heart over everything. Celebrate your gifts. RECLAIM YOUR BODY. LET GO OF THE SHAME OF YOUR BLOOD. LET IT GO TO CREATE A NEW UPDATED VERSION OF YOU. Loving all that you are. •Tip your blood back into the earth. What are letting go of? If you’re not bleeding today, Touch the earth and let go of shame through your hands or feet to the earth. • Let go of the shame of menstruation #globalbloodprayers •Let go of the shame of your body.

Until we can protect vulnerable populations, until we can see women & girls as valuable, until we can stop looking at victims of sexual assault, domestic violence & human trafficking as somehow complicit in their circumstances, until we can punish sexual predators, rapists, pimps, pedophiles and traffickers for their crimes we will continue to victim blame. We will continue to fail people who defend themselves in the face of danger. Until we can understand the trauma, stress & fear that a victim carries into every day life, we will continue to punish victims for acting out of fear for their lives.

Cyntoia Brown, who had been living under the watch of a pimp, who was drugged, beaten, raped and forced into prostitution- was sentenced to life in prison at age 16 for the murder of a stranger who purchased her for sex. She was tried as an adult for the murder. Now, in part due to her case, children under the age of 18 cannot be tried for prostitution. If she were arrested today, she would be treated as a child human trafficking victim. No one should be serving a life sentence for enduring unspeakable harm as a child forced into sexual exploitation and abuse. We must continue to seek justice for #cyntoiabrown, and know that for every case like hers there are hundreds more that we won’t learn about.

There are some amazing organizations on the ground that do work around the clock to support trafficking victims & my favorites are @gemsgirls (Located in Harlem, a few blocks from my old crib, they welcome volunteers & mentors to support women & girls who are rehabilitating from “the life”. I’ve led powerful groups here. I love the @redsandproject which is an .org that raises awareness about vulnerabilities & trafficking through art. @restorenyc works to end trafficking provide holistic care to victims & provide education to law enforcement & government agencies to create impact for survivors. I encourage you to get involved in a local organization so you are constantly connected to service.

For Cyntoia, call/write the governor ASAP & call for Clemency!
