Hi friends.
It's a beautiful day,
The end of October,
And the birds are happily singing.
Singing and chirping in the background.
I wanted to share a little bit about myself.
And what has brought me here to Insight Timer,
Where I offer yoga and meditation practices.
In midlife can divorce.
And estrangement of my sons.
There was much shock,
Anger.
Fear and acceptance.
And then a very long road of healing,
Of which I am still on.
With this transition came a loss of who I was.
And who I am.
In time,
I began to realize I never knew who I was.
Just me.
My deepest.
And truest self.
Was deeply buried.
A wife,
And a mother.
Well,
These are just titles.
And they reveal nothing about my being.
Through this life,
Transition and challenges came opportunity,
Of which I am grateful for.
Yoga teacher training.
A child mental health certificate.
Social services worker diploma and currently today I am pursuing mindfulness and meditation at McMaster University.
Through the practice of yoga and mindfulness and meditation.
I am peeling away the layers of conditioning.
I am unlearning internalized rules,
Beliefs.
I am identifying behaviors passed down through generations.
Culture.
And I'm discovering my most authentic self.
Me at my core.
It is my intention to share meaningful practices along the way.
That touch my life,
Motivate or inspire me.
And I truly hope that you enjoy them too.
I look forward to seeing you on Insight Timer.
Have a beautiful day.
Thank you for watching.
