Compassionate Awareness
This last year, I have been practicing the embodiment of a compassionate awareness, and I can see how beautiful the emotions of this human experience really are. Through this lens of compassion I have shifted to seeing myself as the one who experiences the emotions with an open heart instead of with judgment. We are all human and therefore, emotions are a part of this beautiful life.

One of the most difficult aspects of grief is that it can feel like an invisible weight you carry around. No one sees the immense pain you are in. Grief can feel very isolating and I feel this is partly why. A month or two after a devastating loss, we may “look” fine but on the inside we are unmoored.
Sthira & Sukha
Sthira and sukha in yoga is what I like to refer to as the “sweetness” and the “steadiness”.
