Reflection

We’re moving into the New Year, new decade.  Energy building.  Can you feel it?  I do, but I’m feeling it more in the pauses. In the moments in between the top of the inhale, and the bottom of the exhale.  When I redecorate my bedroom and fall asleep at 8pm.  When I wake up at 5am and watch the sunrise.  When I redecorate the girls’ rooms while they are away and fold their clothes and put them away neatly on their new beanbags.  When I look up from my dinner and see Venus sitting with the sliver of the Moon.

I’m feeling it when I clean out my house of all the old, make a trip to Goodwill, and burn all the divorce papers.  Yes, all the divorce papers. When I look back on the last ten years and feel multiple emotions well up inside of me.  When I look at the last ten years I see struggle, fear, protection of the self, and projection of the ego all wrapped up into one.  The ways I found myself in more fear and lack then ever before, or ever again.  My life for ten years was about surviving, healing, forgiving, releasing, and creating a brand new me.  And although the triumphs and “wins” were lovely and the courageous heart I led with was nourished every step of the way, the struggle underneath it all is so apparent when I
R E F L E C T.

Tears of gratitude, inspiration, grace, and grief flow from my eyes down my face more often than not when I reflect.  The times when I exuded anger from fear, or when I abandoned my own self in the scuffle with the ego.  We all have times like this: profound realizations that we celebrate and also can make us cringe.  It happens. It’s called life.  And thank God we reflect, we give thanks, we take accountability, and we move on.

This new decade will be like the last. Filled with lessons, challenges, wins, embarrassments, loss, love, and celebrations. It’s ten years after all – it’s the spectrum of life. The important thing, as we gallop to the next thing, is to R E F L E C T.  On your past, your reactions, your patterns, your distractions, your projections, your shadow, and your light, and, your ability to love yourself through it all.  And then, and only then, ask yourself, where to now?

Here’s my invitation: Carry the things that work and fulfill your soul, and let go of the rest.  I’m letting go of the need to be right, the struggle, the wishing that things had been different.  If it’s one word that stands out for me for 2019, it’s acceptance.  Accepting what was, what is, and what is to come.  I’m getting out of my own way and allowing Divine to take the reins.   And in that letting go I’ve gained so much energy that can be reallocated to myself, my children, partnership, and this lovely tribe that now spans several cities. I am blessed for sure.

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone again, why would I do it any other way.  Workwise - I’m finally offering online programs in the way of meditations, Moon circles, yoga classes, and trainings! I’m expanding Embody Truth Teacher Training so I can bring in brand new lead trainers. I want to empower them to share their love of this practice in their own way. I want to give them the tools and watch them blossom.  I couldn’t do this without a team and it’s been incredible to watch it grow – it really has. This year is going to be amazing. Not without it’s own lessons, but already the clarity is expanding my heart to new heights.

As far as social media, you’ll only see me on Instagram from now on.  Please follow me there if you want up-to-date information ... the link is above @danadamaraevolution 


Posts will auto post to Facebook but I will not be responding on that platform. It’s too much for me. I want to dedicate more time to me, my family, and in partnership with my beloved.  I’ll be sending out one newsletter a month with all the goodness and announcing events in my classes and via stories on Instagram.  I’m up-leveling where I devote my time and effort and I really, really hope I see you on this path.  Use your time and energy wisely … the world needs us all to up-level now.

I want to thank you … thank you for being here always. For staying true to this practice, and to your journey. 2020 is the year of profound clarity … use it. And use your intuition to know where to put your energy.  It’s important for you individually but also for your family, your communities, and for the collective.  Be discerning with your energy …  I know it’s infinite and it’s also valuable.  I hope to see you on the mat soon!! 
 

Infinite Love,
