She shares with us her daily flow and reflections during this time of personal space in quarantine that we all are experiencing together.
Self-Care Flow
I am very grateful to be surrounded by nature, have a dog and a bathtub. These 3 things bring me connection, joy and relaxation. I am out in nature and walk and play with my dog Pippet each day and try have a bath every few days to relax my nervous system. I know a lot of people don't have any of these things and this privilege is even more amplified for me now, so I am not taking any of them for granted.
Movement
This is an area that I think I'm actually doing MORE of in isolation :) With all the incredible Live Streams happening, I've been able to tune in with a couple of my regular teachers: Kyle Miller @ Love Yoga and a daily pilates mat challenge with Colleen from Atwill Pilates as well as join in some new fun things I don’t usually get to do like dance and booty breaking with Ryan Heffington. I cherish the walks on our trail with my dog and also experiencing new movement teachers through our programming on Conscious City Guide called The Digital Redirect. We have live stream gatherings Thursday - Sunday @ 5PM LA time and movement classes every Sunday @ 10AM.
Favorite Products
Cooking + Food is a creative process as well as so pleasurable for Taurean me :) I'm sticking to fresh produce: dark leafy greens, lots of fresh herbs and citrus as much as I can. I am very lucky to be surrounded by a couple of great farms within 3 miles of me. I love Plumcot Farm and my Sunday Farmer's Market.
Mental and Spiritual Practice
Running my company Conscious City Guide has kept my mental cogs turning. Our team created a new offering very quickly in mid-March called The Digital Redirect and it has kept us all creatively and mentally stimulated. It's the space we want to continue holding for our event creators who've either had to cancel or postpone their events at this time as well as for us seekers, wanting to continue our connections and conscious expansion as we all ride this wave. I hope that our Live Stream Gatherings can offer everyone some mental and spiritual solace. I'm also making sure that I acknowledge and sit with the spectrum of emotions, triggers and blocks coming up for me and the collective right now. I process them in the morning after my daily meditation + tea ceremony practice, or in the evening when I'm journaling and taking inventory of anything that has come up in the day and unblocking and calling in my expanders - following my friend Lacy's program To Be Magnetic or studying the frequency and energetics in my being + body through the Water Tiger Community with SriMati.
