A Good Time Had By All⚡️

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hello my darling friends, I’m still in NY! East Village/LES - and love to see all my friends stopping by… Life has become incredibly sweet, and increasingly filled with magic. Here’s the timely part… recently I started hearing about an enlightened master, from a few (very discerning friends) in India. Eventually I had an opportunity to speak with him, & things have been shifting rapidly ever since.

This means a LOT coming from me. I’ve lived in India a long while, and in this country and others have had many opportunities to meet various masters and their communities. Unfortunately, though, in the 21st century it’s slimmer pickings than the ones I read about in the old books.
We can be straight, here — corruption and commercialization is at an all-time high, even in spiritual spaces. Not my gig. Also, I’m a discerning kind of girl (ask my exs;) and it takes a lot to move the needle here.

This teacher, Sri Anish, is _something else_…
He’s old-school in his approach, new-school in his teachings. That means no retinue, no $olicitation, no interest in big crowds or ashrams.

A few quick things… 1) he’s now coming to the US, for the first time, and I’m helping organize some small gatherings in NY (Nov 17th) & SF (22nd-24th) 2) Understandably, this is not for everyone. We’re all walking this path in different ways and different speeds - c’est bon!

So! For the few this is meant for…
I just interviewed Sri Anish, mostly to give my friends an opportunity to hear from him directly. What are his teachings, why is he different - out of all the masters I’ve met - why am I going to bat for this one?? (Ok, that’s Mom asking…. But maybe you too;) All this, and more, now on the internets⚡️ @gurudev.srianish Short reels here: https://www.youtube.com/@GurudevSriAnish/shorts Message me if you want more details. All the love, babes - to infinity, and beyond!💗💗 by @brigid_oneil

Big talk coming up on this small platform: Mental Health Matters - for Meditators too💥💥 We’ve gathered some of our favorite people and featured experts to talk _solutions_, resources, and tools to help those who are struggling the most. We’re putting it all on an Instagram Live, and it’s going out in 4 days!

Did you know that 25-34 year olds had one of the lowest suicide rates just 10 years ago? But after the pandemic it’s now the _highest_, and it’s the only age group where the numbers are dramatically climbing, year after year.

We’ve had a few tragic deaths recently in our community…and it’s sure as hell galvanized a number of us. Especially when a close friend confided that she was close to ending her life after going deep on the spiritual path, in quarantine…with things (sankaras) coming up that were beyond overwhelming. And she knows many who are suffering in silence, and don’t know where to turn.

Since a few of us were already on the phones talking about this crisis - we decided to turn these talks into a vehicle for *good*. We don’t want any more deaths happening on our watch - not while there’s something we can do about it.

And if you’re inspired to help get the word out to the people who need it, it would be much appreciated💛. Nobody should be suffering alone or taking their life due to mental illness - not when there are so many people and resources that can help.

Hit the share, help us get the word out, and let’s do this! IG Live in 4 days💥💥

After months of work, it finally came together! We’ll have a classical hatha yoga teacher flying in 🇲🇽 to teach a very special course🙏

The course will be led by Jean Bai of Hanahatha Yoga, who trained for 5 months with a recognized master, Sadhguru, in India. The last weekend of May she’ll host the course in Mexico City, and the first weekend in June she’ll do the same in San Miguel de Allende🌺

We’ll be offering Surya Kriya and Surya Shakti as a _live transmission_ and after 2 days, you’ll have the practice for life. Surya Kriya helped to cure my insomnia and Surya Shakti has been one of, if not THE most important practice to help with my gut issues. They’ve been instrumental to my life, which is why I’ve been so determined to bring them to Mexico☀️

Flip through to learn more about the practice and the benefits it can give. We’re so excited to get this going! A massive thanks goes to @yoga_evolve @asanam.wellness and @cecilia_onli for their help in bringing this to 🇲🇽. It takes a village! Check the link in bio to learn more💥💥

DEEP DIVE LIVE ep.23 on YOGIC PRACTICES & HEALING with @brigid_oneil

It makes a hell load of difference if you study under a great master, said Brigid and I see what she means by that.

Yoga has been bastardised (to say it bluntly) to fit our western needs but thankfully, there are still masters who teach the authentic practice.

Listen to this conversation to learn:

🧘‍♀️what is kriya yoga

🧘‍♀️how she healed her insomnia as well as her autoimmune disease symptoms

🧘‍♀️what hatha yoga is good for

🧘‍♀️how yogis have been working on trying to create a perfect being with optimal frequency chakras for years and what that does when you are near it (Dhyanalinga)

🧘‍♀️the difference between intellectual understanding & experience and why it matters

🧘‍♀️what are the culprits of the western yoga practices that are not aligned with the original practice (think music or mirrors)

🧘‍♀️what are the different practices, how to follow them and what can you get out of them

🧘‍♀️how to manifest anything, the type A challenger and the ladder exercise to help overcome the block.

All this is exciting and my own takeaway is this: we have all the tools to make this life so much more awesome than it is, to bring out our full potential and reach to that well of joy. There is literally no reason not to.

Thank you to those who tuned in and to those re-watching it - excited for us to expand that little bit more💫

Live chat this Sunday on YOGIC PRACTICES & HEALING with @brigid_oneil

Brigid worked as a researcher (civil liberties think tank) and a sustainability strategy consultant in San Francisco before a burnout and auto immune disease brought everything to a halt.

After 14 years of Vipassana meditation and courses, clearly there was something still missing.

After taking a Kriya yoga course with @sadhguru and watching numerous symptoms disappear, she left to spend a year in his Indian ashram.

Now, along with a dream team of neuroscientists and yogis, she founded the startup Leela Community.

LC uses science-based practices to help people get unstuck and transform their health in just 90 days.

This Sunday she’ll share her story and a few practices to give you a jumpstart and start seeing benefits in under a week!

Join us at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm U.K. See you then!
