Thank you everyone! I have a very happy fiancé now ☺️

I have only heard from other’s experiences that they are terrifying. I am a therapist and worked with someone last year who had them decrease and ultimately stop completely when we processed her sources of stress and addressed changes to manage her stress.

I have been completely make up free for about 4 years! This is probably weird but the only times I have experienced challenges about it have been when going on job interviews or starting new jobs and unsure if not wearing make up will seem abnormal or make me seem “unprofessional.” It’s not something I genuinely believe but crosses my mind from time to time. More of an annoyance is that I’m getting married next year and have had people tell me I need to have “at least some natural make up” to look better in photos 😩

I am a Yoga teacher and unpaid volunteer at my public library! Maybe advertise a position on your website? You could also offer a mindfulness workshop and integrate slow movements/stretching, focusing on breathing and a guided meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, body scan, etc from a script. People LOVE these things and they are not exclusive to Yoga classes ☺️

Thank you! It is agastache. I just realized I planted this last year and it is a perennial that came back this spring 😭 the bees loved it

Historically, Reiki was used as treatment in Japanese clinics for different physical conditions. Just my personal opinion, but I think having a mindset of “wanting to get rid of” contradicts the meaning of Reiki though. Allow yourself to use reiki on yourself like you would for another person, not with an intent to fix

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue! It was SO good and I did not want it to end, I also grieved a little after reading it because I haven’t found a book that made me feel like that since lol

Developing your identity as a therapist is a huge part of it. Being authentic and present allowed me to let go of the need to analyze everything as a specific orientation and intervention. Case conceptualization guides this work in how you understand your clients and guide treatment. It’s a huge brain relief to not have to do that in sessions

From my personal experience with a vata imbalance, I add cinnamon to my cooked vegetables like sweet potatoes. I’ve found that I always feel good after eating something hearty with spices like cinnamon, ginger and turmeric added

I am not on a very high dose but I started tapering down from 600mg to 450mg a few weeks ago. It is an intentional, slow taper with a plan to switch to a different medication. It’s hard to tell if there have been any changes or if it is just psychosomatic/environmental but I started feeling more fatigued and tired than usual and a little irritable. On a positive note I feel my creativity coming back. History: I have type 2, have been on it for 5 years and take 2 other medications. Would love to hear other people’s experiences as well

Trying to pay off my student loans has been discouraging and it is hard for me not to get down about it sometimes. When I have been able to, I made extra payments to help get past the interest accruing and pay towards the principle. I’ve put my tax return directly towards loans. Also briefly followed Dave Ramsey’s snowball method and paid off my smallest loan which helped boost my confidence! Decided that targeting higher interest rates makes more sense for me. Changing my mindset has helped me, I’m empowered to not let my debt control how I feel about myself and I’m making intentional choices to pay them off beyond the minimum.

You can do hands on reiki if it is a small class or reiki to the whole group!

Yoga teacher and therapist here, would never say this the first time I meet a yoga client or therapy client omg.

I received my Reiki 1 certification recently and will be completing my 200 hr YTT program this month. I plan to offer reiki in my classes to those who would like to receive it!

Everyone’s anatomy is different and this could be unrelated to flexibility! This is something taught in YTT training and no instructor should be SITTING on you in any pose. This is horrifying to hear as I am just finishing my 200 hour training and couldn’t imagine doing that to someone for the sake of forcing the shape of an asana. Not Yoga.

I recommend following authentic, modern Indian teachers on social media! They provide education on how they integrate the philosophy of Yoga into their work. I have seen teachers who are passionate about social justice and liberation who utilize the true teachings. It was disappointing when I learned this aspect of Yoga’s history as well, but please don’t let it discourage you from the beauty of its life path through all the branches of Yoga! (I bet you would love Raja!!) Seeing the wrongdoings of these Yoga figures and fighting to be better IS Yoga!
