Hi Reader, I just finished one of the most in-depth blogs so far. Loving writing, I hope you appreciate it as much as the passion I put into it. Here's a brief excerpt, though I hope you read the whole piece. According to Medium it's an 8-minute read that's full of inspiration and information in service of living well inside and out, personal and beyond. Here's an excerpt: What does alignment truly mean? How do we know when we are there… or when we’re missing the mark? Conceptually, alignment touches every aspect of our life. Alignment has multifaceted meanings that go beyond the external, reaching into the depths of our inner world. Alignment spans every level of life — from our relationship with ourselves, others and Nature, to being in tune with our life purpose and the broader universe. ... Navigating through these layers can seem daunting, yet there’s a foundational starting point: alignment within ourselves. This internal harmony, connecting body, mind and heart each day is where life alignment begins. Let’s look from a bottom-up perspective. A frame I currently appreciate is to consider our Behavioral Stack, a take on evolutionary levels of the organization life within us. ...read more HERE... 🌹 Learn how to ALIGN your body, mind, heart and life to experience greater energy, vitality and fulfillment of purpose. Discover the principles of personalized embodied practice that transcend styles and outdated ideas. Deepen your alignment to Nature and our collective evolution. I couldn't be more excited to invite you to join me in this upcoming mini-training: ALIGN: Evolutions in Embodied Practice We’ll gather LIVE to explore how we ALIGN to our body+mind, nervous system, wisdom traditions and to Nature, for greater vitality and fulfillment... all through embodied practice. It’s different than we’ve been taught. Go beyond method to ALIGN with principles beyond modality. ALIGN is the equivalent of a $200+ workshop - in my interest to have multiple levels of accessibility for learning, registration is only $27 - plus, teachers can get 5 CEUs (YA or I-AYT) for attending the live event. It's a great opportunity to get a taste of what I'm up to and the Kutilaa School to see if you want to go deeper together. Yes, recordings will be available. No one turned away for lack of funds. Embodiment is so much more than the physical. Come explore and discover the ripple effects to transform your life and the world, and be sure to read the new blog on how and why these ripple effects work! Aligning with Nature,Michelle PS.
