Unlocking Abundance: Step out of lack and Find True Wealth with Sarah Walton
In this episode of the 'Finding Harmony' podcast, host Harmony Slater interviews abundance coach and dear friend, Sarah Walton. They're talking about ways to reframe our understanding of money and abundance, addressing the limiting beliefs we have around money, and how we can shift from a mindset of scarcity into one of abundance.
Sarah emphasizes that our sense of self-worth is the origin of true joy and abundance. And it can only be found within!
Often we look to money as a saviour figure, but it's actually a currency of energy, just like joy or love!
Sarah shares some helpful strategies for managing money and creating wealth. She also recounts her journey from growing up very poor to becoming a super successful abundance coach.
Harmony and Sarah discuss the importance of empowering women financially, because they believe that when more money is in the hands of women, it's beneficial for families and communities.
You'll feel so encouraged listening to this conversation and motivated to start cultivating a deeper connection to the abundant energy within!

A Spiritual Practice For The Holidays
With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas coming up around the corner, I wanted to share some helpful tips for how we can use spiritual practices to help us through the holidays.
Did you know that research has shown that a single act of gratitude can produce an immediate 10% increase in happiness and a 35% decrease in symptoms of depression. Gratitude also increases positive neural pathways and helps to strengthen the immune system! (and that's something I think we can all get behind at this time of year!)
But there are other mind-body based practice we can do to help us have the kind of relationships and experiences we want during the holidays.
Cultivating spiritual wellness can have a profound impact on our lives.
Practices like yoga and mindfulness not only alleviate stress but also contribute to a stronger immune system and overall better health. Scientific evidence suggests that a calm mind can positively impact our body's cellular function and immune response.
Visualization is another powerful tool. Many scientific studies indicate that when we vividly imagine a situation, our brain processes it as if it were real. Athletes often use visualization techniques to enhance performance, and this principle applies to achieving success in every area of life whether personally or professionally. Visualizing goals and strategies can stimulate the brain to work towards achieving them in an effortless way!
In the fast-paced world, incorporating these practices—meditation for clarity, acknowledging the mind-body connection, leveraging visualization for goal attainment, and harnessing the power of sound vibrations—can lead to enhanced creativity, better decision-making, and a more resilient mindset, fostering success in both professional endeavors and personal fulfillment.
If you’d like to explore these practices more deeply and set yourself up for 2024, then be sure to join my…. Reflect & Project Retreat!

Why Asana Isn’t Enough…
Many of us come to the practice feeling broken and struggle with an underlying sense that we’re just not enough. We seek validation by looking outside ourselves. We seek to do things right, to learn the “correct method” and toe the party line.
But when we truly slow down to feel what’s underneath all our striving and the patterns of perfectionism, we begin to see that it’s the system that’s broken, not us.
Worthiness is an inside job.
Once we get this.. I mean truly get it… It turns the game around. We can feel empowered within our lives and in our spiritual pursuits.
From the moment we’re born we’re trained to buy into the illusion that once we receive some kind of external validation, we’ll finally feel happy and complete.
Society teaches us that self-worth is determined by external factors such as our achievements, possessions, or how we are perceived by others.
The problem is our perception.
We keep projecting outward the love we wish to receive.
We're not broken, but our thoughts about ourselves are.
When we realize that no amount of praise or postures will ever be enough, we can start to transform our lives and they way we approach our practice.
We discover a new freedom in the practice yoga when we recognize that we’re already perfect, whole, and complete; there’s no where to get to, nothing to do, and nothing that needs to be any different than exactly as it is.
We can begin to practice on our own terms and authentically choose how we want to create a fulfilling life based on awakening to the fact we already have everything we need.
Remember, you are worthy, enough, seen, accepted, and loved just as you are.

Ashtanga Dispatch with Peg Mulqueen
Today I’m speaking with the O.G of Ashtanga podcasting. The woman who started “Ashtanga Dispatch,” the first podcast dedicated to Ashtanga yoga teaching, (long before most of us even knew what a podcast was, let alone had a library of them stored on our phones).
That’s right. I’m sitting down with the lovely Peg Mulqueen to talk about the benefits of having a mentor and how it’s different than being in a student-teacher relationship.
We offer some simple exercises to help you become more aware of your unconscious patterns, beliefs, and thoughts. We also have a fun debate over whether or not the physical asana practice is necessary to actually experience the benefits of yoga or not.
You’ll also hear our personal insights around some of the ways we’ve learned to deepen our own experiences yoga, both on and off the mat.
Peg writes: “Yoga is a path that returns us to wholeness, leading us home to what is our true nature. And it’s this sense of belonging and balance, along with a feeling of kinship and support, we hope you will find here. For while yoga may ultimately be an individual journey, you don’t have to walk it alone.”
And this is exactly what we’ll be exploring today in this beautiful conversation between friends. I hope you take what you need and that it supports you in your personal practice + spiritual growth.

The Only Time Is Now… with Luke Jordan
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, There is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, The world is too full to talk about... Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense.” - Rumi
This is the metaphorical field where we join our dear Irish friend, Luke Jordan, in conversation today.
This conversation is delicious. It left us craving for more. There’s simply is no good place to stop when souls join and dance together out beyond the world of ideas and language. So, we simply hit record and sank deeply into Luke’s vibe… and let time slip away.
We sure hope conversation delights you in the same way. Drop a comment and let us know. We would love to hear from you.
It’s such a treasured experience to connect with someone so self-aware, so thoughtful, and so ready to deconstruct every presumption, every belief, and even reality itself.
And, yet, our desire to hang to these fleeting moments in time, is simply one more attachment obstructing our freedom and the experiencing of allowing and letting go.
What happens when yoga practitioners get mixed up and mistake the practice of yoga as the thing that’s going to liberate them?
What happens when you realize you’ve given up the opiate of the world and only to become addicted to the methadone of yoga?
Yoga is a base, a foundation for spiritual growth, for the exploration of WHO AM I?
A clue to help us answer the questions: What is life? What is love?
No Guru can tell you what is the truth of your own inner voice because that exists for your ears only.
So… question every thought. Question Every Belief.
Because beliefs, as Luke tells us, are the basis of violence.
Yoga is the undoing of the endemic, unconscious ways of being in the world. But, don’t get caught up doing yoga, my friends… that only leads back to blindness and keeps you stuck in the same old unconscious patterns you were trying to escape from in the first place.

And Don’t Forget To Breathe… With Nick Heath The Breathing Diabetic
Did you know that how you breathe can help to regulate blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce the risk of complications from diabetes?
But that’s only a fraction of what a conscious slow breathing practice can do for you!
Today, we dive into the fascinating world of breathwork and its profound impact on managing diabetes, reducing stress, and enhancing our overall health and well-being, whether you’re a diabetic or not!
Nick Heath, famously known as The Breathing Diabetic, joins us today to share valuable insights, not only from his own personal experience, but also from his extensive research in the area of breathing and how it effects us on every level.
Stress reduction is a critical focus point for almost every person alive on the planet today. Stress can have a significant impact on our health and is an underlying cause for many physical and mental health conditions.
Nick dives into the science behind why it’s so important to develop a breathwork practice, how it helps to activate the body's relaxation response, lower stress hormones, helps us sleep better, and promote a greater sense of calm.
We talk about some of differences between mouth breathing verses nose breathing and the natural affiliation a conscious breathwork practice has with mindfulness meditation. We learn the science behind why, when we focus on our breath, we effortlessly increase our ability to concentrate, and this changes how we perceive the world.
More often than not, we take for granted the fact that we’re breathing.
But HOW we breathe significantly influences our mental, emotional and physical health and developing a regular slow breathing practice can change our physiology, increase our ability to focus, modulate emotional states, and regulate our nervous system.
Don’t wait another year!
Learn more about mindful breathing and how to include a conscious breathwork practice into your daily routine.
