"I know what I'm moving toward. I can feel it. I just can't always seem to close the distance between here and there." There is a particular kind of longing that lives in this state. A reaching. A knowing-without-quite-arriving. The Vijnanamaya Kosha is the wisdom body… the layer of deeper knowing, intuition, and inner vision. When we're living from this layer, we tend to be people of great perception. You sense things. You see patterns others miss. You have a relationship with your inner life that feels real and meaningful, and there is usually a vision... of who you're becoming, of what your life could hold, that pulls at you even on the ordinary days. The Dream Weaver moves between moments of profound clarity and a subtle doubt, and this oscillation can feel disorienting if you don't understand what's actually happening. It looks like an inconsistency from the outside. But from the inside, it's the soul integrating. The vision... real. The path... real. What's needed is the kind of deep rest that lets what you already know settle into the cells of the body, so it stops being something you pursue and becomes something you simply are. When you recognize yourself as a Dream Weaver, the gap between your vision and your lived reality stops feeling like evidence that something is wrong... and starts feeling like fertile ground. Rest becomes part of the work of becoming. Each practice is an act of integration, letting your inner knowing root itself more deeply into your actual life. Every month we will explore one of these states more deeply and in the fourth state you'll feel into how to honour what you already know, how to let rest become the bridge between vision and embodied reality, and what it means to trust the pace of your own unfolding.

We made it to the end of March... 🦁🐑 At the start of the month, I shared a little agricultural folklore and asked what kind of March we were stepping into. (Read Post) Now I'm curious... How did it feel for YOU? Drop your answer below! And if you want the full context, check out the original post. Not talking about the weather... talking about what moved through you this month. 🌱

There’s a little agricultural folklore around March. In like a lamb, out like a lion. Or In like a lion, out like a lamb. Lion: stormy, windy, cold. Lamb: warm, gentle, mild. (also SO cute) As a rural farm girl growing up… this mattered to my family. Farming is highly intuitive. 🌱☀️⛈️ 🌾 I was always in awe of how my father and grandfather would read the almanacs and lean on their internal nudges. We lived on the barren prairies. You could see the weather coming for days. Haha. Or watch your dog run away for days. Haha. I remember mornings when my father would shift his entire day based on the colour of the sunrise sky. It was this knowing of the land, of what moved through the air and across the horizon, that captivated me. A bit of a sidebar, but the sky shaped me. I have a theory about prairie folk. I’ll share that another time. Back on topic. There were times they made the “wrong” call. And it was often followed by, “I knew I should have…” What I’ve noticed over the years is this is usually how we feel about the decisions we later question. We saw the sign. We felt the nudge. And we went against it. That, too, is part of life. If we got it all right, that would be kind of boring, right? Can I get an amen? Rejection is redirection. Through the lens of non-dual philosophy, which informs how I teach Yoga Nidra, there isn’t right or wrong. There is only what is. So as March moves in like a lamb, I’m taking this gentle energy to tend my internal soil. My heart is mending. Eclipse season feels like a time to observe the compost. To re-up life. Reorganize. Rest. Restore. Replenish. Reiterate. Redefine. Realign. You get where I’m going. So I’m asking, and inviting you to ask too: What richness has come from my wounds? What have my fears taught me? What part did I play in my pain? How can I take the compost, the garbage, the BS, and turn it into nutrient-dense soil so that when I plant spring seeds and give them what needs to be seen, they can weather the inevitable storms?

these are five invitations through the lens of yoga nidra and the koshas, layers of being. 1. ✧your body✧ what does your physical body need more of this year rest? warmth? slower mornings? a sense of safety you can feel in your bones? 2. ✧your energy✧ notice where your life force is flowing freely… and where it feels depleted? not everything needs effort some things need space. 3. ✧your mind and heart✧ what thoughts or emotional patterns are asking for?compassion? what softens when you stop arguing with yourself? 4. ✧your inner wisdom✧ beneath the noise… beneath the goals… there is a quiet knowing, what truth has been patiently waiting for you to listen? 5. ✧your capacity for peace✧ the part of you that is unaffected by last year … by “mistakes” … by stories this is there reminder… you are still here! you are always whole. this is how you can meet a new year not by reinventing yourself but by remembering your true self. layer by layer. we are still being invited by the year of the snake to shed what isn't ours. and today! choosing clarity ✧☽ presence ✧☽ and a nervous system that gets to feel at home. ✧☽ Cheers to beginning again… everyday.
