Have you ever practiced yoga nidra (even if you haven't, stick with me) that asked you to cultivate an inner resource? Typically, these guided meditations rely on memory, which is not very reliable when it comes to sensations and embodiment.

Heck, even according to the yoga sutras, memory is a block to yoga (memory is one of the 5 vrittis, and yoga is defined as the cessation of vrittis, or mind chatter).

This new moon in sidereal Taurus marks the beginning of a long cycle of expansion (too much of a good thing can be a bad thing -- think mo' money mo' prolems) and upheaval when it comes to our sense of stability & security, especially related to our finances.

So having an inner resource is more crucial than it's ever been! How do you cultivate an inner sense of safety amid life's eternal chaos? This episode is here to help :)

We'll explore the concept of cultivating inner resources--why and how you should do it--in a way that doesn't rely on memory. In this episode, you'll learn how to embody stability and sensuality, harness the long-term cycles of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, and make the most of your financial growth. Plus, we'll share yoga practices and journal prompts to help you thrive, as always.

Get ready to find new solutions to old problems, and make sure those solutions are in alignment with your personal values. While you're at it, you might consider to what degree your personal values are shaped by your current environment and your upbringing, and if that is serving you or not. (journal prompts to help sort this out in the episode, of course!)

Uranus moves to Taurus in a couple weeks! This is a major deal given that Uranus stays in a sign for 7-8 years, depending on retrogrades (it will make its first shift out of taurus in 2031 and move to gemini for good in 2032).

This period is likely to influence our stability, values, and the potential for personal and global revolutions in areas like finance, agriculture, and environmental activism. Learn about the historical significance of past transits, and explore how to align your actions with your values for a more grounded and fulfilling life. Tune in for practical tips, journaling prompts, and yoga practices to help you navigate this transformative period.
