You Are More Than This | Vinyasa in Verse Podcast Episode 59

You are more than who you're being right now, more than your physical or cultural identity, and more than the roles that you play in this life. // Let's understand who we are in this physical moment so we can learn how to expand. // The idea of identity and naming your stories give us a starting point for healing. // Before you can get where you want to be in the future, you need to know where you’re starting from and how you got there. // Be present in the Now. Don't live in the past and try not to project into the future. // Look at the past so you can see how far you’ve traveled and identify the lessons learned along the way. This will help you figure out the next steps to move forward. // By writing these Maverick Monday stories, I am finding that they hold the power to transmute energy into healing. // Over time, we gain knowledge and wisdom from our lived experiences. Will you choose to grow from this? // Telling our stories can help us understand that these things happened to help us grow and to inform who we are right now. // If you want to experience the healing magic of telling your stories, join me on March 30th 7-9pm ET for Write to Heal, a workshop where we’ll work on identifying the source of our hurts and uproot them from our gardens through meditation, writing, and ritual.
