Jodi's Journal

Happy Wednesday, Sweet Friends!

For today's Wednesday Walk with Chants, I connect to the idea that we are our own best guru. A situation in my life had me searching for advice and help OUTSIDE of me, when I realized that the answers were all INSIDE of me! We often hear about the great external teacher, or the Guru. But, our greatest personal teacher lives inside of us ~ or as my friend Dolan said ... be the you-ru! Click below to hear about my powerful "aha" moment.



What about you? Have you had a moment in your life where you remembered that you are you own you-ru? Did you feel empowered when you realized this? Leave a comment & let me know!

love,

jodi

Today on my Wednesday Walk with Chants, I reflect back on the past week, where I had some conflicts in both my personal & professional life. As I was sharing with a dear friend Davidji about these situations, he reminded me to pause and make a choice - am I wanting to be right, or am I wanting peace? This was such a powerful reminder for me, and even though there is a part of me that wants to be heard or seen, or "right", ultimately I choose peace. Please enjoy my video blog as I share my experience.

Today on my Wednesday Walk, I share with you about my exciting experience of buying a new car, along with a lesson I learned from the process. I have been feeling ecstatic & proud driving around in my new car. I am reminded, however, of one of life's great lessons - that the best things in life aren't things. I am still the same me living the same life. While I am happy and excited because I have a new car, I understand that possessions are not what give my life value.

Today on my Wednesday Walk with Chants, I share with you  the importance of grounding ourselves in nature. Recently, I have found myself in my head a lot, making a big decisions about a new car. This has left me feeling a bit ungrounded. One of the quickest and most beautiful ways I know of to ground myself and recharge is to spend time in nature. This could be as simple as taking off my shoes and standing barefoot on the grass, touching a tree, or walking on the beach. Research has been conducted to show the benefits of spending time connected to the earth. Click here to read more about "Earthing". Please enjoy this week's video blog.
