Self-compassion

Happy Spring! I hope you are feeling some of the forward moving energy from the Spring Equinox that helps us get moving out of winter’s heaviness.

In my last newsletter I mentioned the turbulent shifts that March was bringing astrologically. We all respond differently to these shifts and they can often be challenging for us, even leading to crisis. The Denver community experienced another significant gun related crisis yesterday, which has impacted us individually and communally. In the moment such events can cause us to feel helpless and hopeless. While difficult, allowing ourselves to sit with those feelings is important to our healing. Offering ourselves compassion for the suffering we are experiencing allows us to accept that our feelings are valid, that we are not alone in our suffering, and that we are worthy of kindness. This practice is called the Self-Compassion Break and can be a supportive tool in navigating the way forward.

Please join me this weekend for our Saturday Morning Yoga practice to pause, listen to your body, and care for it with lovingkindness. Previous recordings of Saturday Morning Classes as well as Evening Chair Yoga are available on my Youtube channel.

There will be no class April 1 as I will be presenting at the National School Social Workers Association of America Conference. There will also be no class April 15 as we will be visiting our son in Michigan.

May you be safe, may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you live with ease. ❤️ ~ Lisa
