Love this expression of crow energy.

Thank you Alan Syliboy Art Studio for this beautiful piece.

The Daily Drum
Today I am posting a Crow Drum.
In Mi'kmaw culture, the crow—ga'qaquj—is a symbol of sharp intelligence, community, and watchful protection. The Mi'kmaq believe that everything in the natural world carries a spirit and a lesson for us. The crow reminds us to look after one another, to speak our truth clearly, and to stay connected to our families and the land we walk upon. When you hear the call of the crow today, remember to listen closely to the wisdom around you.
Have a Great Day!

this is part of the shedding of Autumn, can we begin to let go of the old patterns that used to help us and now are holding us back? It’s hard work creating new patterns that are healthier for who we are now. This is becoming. This is growth. This is evolving into our potential and possibilities.

Thank you Christine Leslie for sharing this beautiful post from Wild Woman Sisterhood.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of coming home to yourself.

“name your inner critic” … thanks Sharon Salzberg. I needed to hear this.

The problem of incessant self criticism is not just mine alone, of course. So many people suffer from it. Over time, we start suggesting to other people that they give their inner critic a name… give it a wardrobe, give it a persona. Because everything is going to depend on how you relate to that inner critic.

I name my own inner critic Lucy — after the character in the Peanuts comic strip. I had seen a cartoon where Lucy is talking to Charlie Brown. She says to him, "You know, Charlie Brown, what your problem is? The problem with you is that you're you.”

I keep walking by a desk where someone had left the cartoon and my eyes would fall on that line over and over. Even after all my years of practice, it’s such a familiar voice — the voice of my own internal critic. But here’s the difference:

Not long after I see that cartoon — and name my inner critic Lucy — something really good happens for me. I flow effortlessly into a yoga posture that had eluded me for years. The first thought I have is:

"It's never going to happen again."

And then I breathe. I respond to the thought with:

"Hi Lucy. Chill, Lucy. Just chill out."

It’s not, “You’re right Lucy. You’re always right.”

It’s not, “I can’t believe Lucy is still here after all this work. I’m so ashamed.”

It’s: “Hi Lucy. Chill.”.

Sometimes I invite Lucy in for a cup of tea and sit her down. But I don't let her take over. We can be a little hospitable and even tender, but just give her a place. I’m now aware of Lucy. And I know that my awareness is stronger than she is.

✨A little info on the theme for this series of classes - the Chakras / Energy centres within our body. The elders of the east wisdom traditions knew about the Chakras like we know that the body needs breath.

When we tune into what the wisdom of our body is telling us, we can use yoga to help to bring a sense of balance through chakra awareness to our body, mind and spirit.

Each week, we will open with a guided centring one of the 7 chakras. As we move through our asana practice, I will guide you in deepening your awareness of the chakra essence within the posture.
