CURIOUS ABOUT SOUND BOWLS? 🧘👇
I use sound bowls to help me get into coherence with my heart and body. The tones relax and align me. They are a great tool for heart-mind-body-spirit alignment. Plus the vibrations feel good!

Setting up a sacred space outside that inspires you is both enjoyable and serves as a great reminder to pause, relax, and take a few minutes to get grounded and breathe. I love to use large crystals, a Buddha statue, and candles. Whatever beautiful items inspire you will work. Most important is to slow down and enjoy.
Outside (if your climate allows!) or inside (during these winter months) - any place can be sacred if that is your intent. 🌿☀️🧘♀️✨
Instead of checking your phone first thing when you wake up, take one morning this week to start off with your sacred space instead. ⌛️
This #MindysLibrary pick for November is “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman (@backmansk). The perfect fiction read for cozy winter nights, it will make you laugh and cry and truly fall in love with all of humanity.
What I’ve learned over the past nine years, as I have systematically devoted myself to learning a new way to live, is that choosing is the most important factor. I started with five minutes a day and I stayed at those five minutes for a very long time. Slowly, over time, I learned what worked for me: creating sacred space to remind me that I have the power to choose something different. ⏲️

Sacred space isn`t one place - it`s anywhere you want to make it. Whether its a hotel room on the road (where I have been setting up these days!), your office, backyard, or balcony, all that matters is that you set up space in a way that is meaningful to you and reminds you to do three important things:
🕐️ Pause
🧘♀️ Slow down and breathe
💖 Tune in
Airports. Hotel rooms. Flight delays. Rainy Day. Late nights. Early mornings. As I navigate my weeks on the road traveling to new places, meeting new people and continuing to learn everyday as interim CEO at @beautycounter, these are the FOUR things I do no matter what.💟

Cook yourself a meal, take a sunset walk, make an appointment for a massage. Your assignment for this week: take some time for yourself. 🧡
Ok, so you have your sacred space built - now what? I love some gentle stretching and conscious breathing. Breathing slowly, gently, and with intent sends my body the message that it is safe to relax and let go. 🧘♀️
