AWAKEN

To awaken is to be. Be still to awaken. Awaken and be.

LISTEN

Meditation is a means of exploring the mind/body. Like driving through a snowstorm, we tightly grip the wheel, squinting through the blinding hail of thoughts. At times, it feels as though we will drive right off the road. Slow down and line yourself up with what you know will never change or lead you astray.

HOLDING SPACE FOR PAIN

Sitting with our own pain and softening to the sensations arising is a teacher. It educates us on how to be with the unpleasant. What do we do when the unpleasant arises and we cannot run from it? There is nothing to do but sit with it, soften to it, and listen. This is giving space to our pain and trusting the process.

RESPONDING TO ILLNESS AND INJURY

The urge to succumb to self-defeating thoughts is strong and creates resistance to what is happening. In learning to soften and accept the unexpected trials that come our way is to trust that there is a reason to the life-altering events that are happening. Trusting the process and finding gratitude were pivotal in moving through an otherwise challenge filled year.

BE FLOW

You hold tightly to a branch while powerful current surges past you. With all your might, you grip for fear the water will whisk you away and you will drown. You will die. The water grabs you and tries to pull you along with it as if saying “Let go. Let go. Let go. Trust us. Let go.”

TONE YOUR VAGUS

The tone of your vagus nerve impacts your body’s ability to recover after instances of stress. When the heart rate is elevated, the tonacity of your vagus determines how quickly your heart can return to its resting state. Meaning, how quickly you can hit that reset button after intense emotions arise.

CALM AMIDST THE CHAOS

Meditation is a means of training the mind to be responsive rather than reactive. Our intention with meditation is to encourage a responsive, unwavering mind. By sitting in meditation and processing what is coming up, we lessen the effect that outside stimulus has on the mind.

I AM VIRAGO PODCAST: AMANDA STOKER

In 2011, I embarked on a journey of self discovery. I decided to shift my trajectory from finding happiness to living with intention and purpose. In this podcast, I sit down with Janice Lichtenwaldt, founder of I Am Virago, to talk about my successes, failures and what makes me a Virago woman.
