You may find yourself wondering what you can do to feel a deeper connection to yourself, others, the universe, and higher energy. Or, that a deeper connection is showing up as a simple inquiry you have around life challenges. I’m beginning a series of posts around the benefits of creating a morning awakening practice, such […]

From Auto-Pilot and Non-Awareness to Creating Inner Peace
This is the first in a series of posts to discuss the benefits of a morning awakening practice. In this blog post, Sara speaks about the challenges of contrast in our very human lives. She speaks about how allowing ourselves and others to be who and how they are is a practice of self-awareness and ultimately self-care and self-love.
