A Gentle Awakening | Conversation with Boyana
What do you do when it’s too hard to meditate?
Today, I'm excited to share this conversation with Boyana, where she shares about how sometimes it's not helpful to meditate, and sometimes it's
more supportive to soothe and care for our nervous system first.
She asks us the question, "What if this journey can be gentle?"
When we feel like we have to do things a certain way, what if instead we check in with the body and see where the body's at? What if we instead do what is most soothing for our body?
What if we turn to our bodies and our self as our own best teacher?
What if we don’t need to strive or prove anything?
Boyana shares an awakening journey that takes it slow and steady, taking time. Integrating awakening into daily life in a more gradual and practical way. And accounting for our need to mature as human beings, growing up in tandem with waking up. To learn how to embrace our humanity and our mistakes along the way.
We would love to hear your reflections, let us know what your takeaways are in the comments below the video.

On the same ground of our being, the same ground of our humanity. Being with each other. Being witness to each other. Not needing to do anything for each other, but simply being with each other.
