What a pleasure to be able to do this meditation with Megha, the cocreator of the moon salutation. She is truly a joy, and I so appreciate her clear guidance and gentle pacing.

Omg Nancy! Another great song! Thank you so much🙏🙏🙏! And believe it or not, a bull saved my life once😅! Indirectly! But that’s a long, strange but hilarious story that I will tell you about in a DM! ❤️❤️❤️ and I would love to learn how you met your bull also!

That was so wonderful. Thank you so much. You have GREAT taste in poetry and a wonderful reading voice as well!🙏🥰 The line that I will probably remember the most is Rumi’s “Return to the root of the root of yourself.” I’m DEFINITELY going to hang these words by my altar🙏💜🙏

This was such a treat! Your instruction was clear and my boney knees appreciate the gentleness. I was able to flow with your lovely video too so I’m feeling confident and prepared for the New Moon tomorrow. Thank you Megha! 🌑
