💛👣What haunts me is memories. Memories that I hold with me are also memories I need to let go. Did you know that the word mindfulness is derivative of ‘memories’? That when you practice being ‘here now’, you are practicing holding and embracing memories? I was looking through this set of pictures yesterday, as grieving moms do, and I saw how at home Tommy felt on that catamaran. To think he had 3 weeks to live is unimaginable, but I wonder if he started his divine ascension then, on this boat. He looks like the captain here, doesn’t he? Thomas, embodying his mission with bravado.  On the ocean, he was where he was meant to be: in between connecting worlds. I often think about the explorers that set sail without knowing for certain their ultimate destinations. But on that catamaran, Tommy was confident and free. So free. He was the captain of the seas. Maybe he knew it even then- blinking at us from behind! Mischievous little bugger. Us, lovers- completely ignorant of what’s to come. The people I love the most where on the boat that day. I look at pictures of my boy often. I hold them. I embrace them.  And then I let them go. I imagine a thousand butterflies flying towards the horizons. I exhale. The exhale- always and forever the healing balm for pain. Unafraid to look and love at the truth of things, I am confident. I am butterfly-free! I am the captain of my ship soaring on the high and low seas of grief. Oh yeah-and I blink at you from behind, too. 🦋 Loving you in sweet & salty memories E. xo #tommytinkerforever #captureyourgrief #capturelove #mothersaremagic #summerlovin #mayweallheal
✨Let's make something clear. I am only qualified to teach a Mentorship Program for Yoga Teachers because I have made a lot (I repeat A LOT) of mistakes teaching. After my first Yoga Teachers Training in California in 2005, it took me another 5 whole years (!!!!) AND another Teachers Training in Toronto to get into the lion's cage of teaching my first 'real' yoga class. After that first class, and 8 years later,  I vow to always  stay a learner. This yogi journey has been a life calling -a quest (you know how much I love that word!). Ascending my way to an ever-evolving style of teaching that I love requires practice, practice, and what else can i say. Yep. Practice! One thing I get asked most frequently is how I successfully bring intentions, themes and visual imagery into a yoga class in an inspirational and secular way.  How do i invite personal inquiry, healing and connection with the core of who you are in an one hour all-level yoga class? I've included art, quotes, words, symbols, stories in my class, because I know that for me- when I go to a yoga class I totally want a sweaty work-out, but also want to be left exhilarated by something more. Something magic! This is the connection yoga seeks: body, mind and SOUL. Nowadays, the 'soul' part is often left out of the classroom. That sucks. It's the most important part, you know? 2018 is an auspicious time to be a yoga teacher. Students are receptive to the movement of mindfulness, creativity and imagination more than ever before. Everyone's affected by anxiety, depression, grief,transitional time, personal tragedies - everyone. How can I, as a yoga teacher be comfortable in holding space for lives well lived. Lives that want to heal and most importantly be well. Being fit is great, but it's worth nothing if you feel empty, lost or dead inside. Feeling whole, energized and inspired from the inside out ultimately brightens your vibrancy & health. Yoga Teachers Mentorship with me is transformational journey work. Get ready to fly. More info in bio👆🏼 Love you and your dharma too, E ⭐️
🖤 As in everyday, today I am grieving my son Tommy: grieving him means I’ve loved him and continue to love him -perhaps stronger now. Today, I am grateful for my work which I get to do mostly from home in dirty painted overalls drinking La Croix & texting @offbeetfarm non-stop! Whether full moon eclipse or not- today is a good day. The work-out of grief & gratitude 💪🏼I implore & challenge you all to find ways to express grief &gratitude effectively, every day. It’s a discipline and it’s not easy and thats the work out! Once a devoted, you are inside the gates of wonders. Get ready for 🚀 : radical amazement! seeing what’s good! Rewiring psyche & holding space for a life well-lived! Grief & gratitude: both are exercises in love. I’d love to know: what are you grieving today? What are you grateful for today? By sharing you inspire others to do the same✌🏻 💕 Love you on your quest, E ⭐️ #sheshouts #shequest #shequestsummerschool #sheisinme #lavie #gratitude #workoutsforthesoul #tommytinkerforever #inspirationalquotes #mayweallheal #capturelove #captureyourgrief #griefquotes #griefjourney #griefsupport #estellethomsonart
