Sit in silence

“Sit in silence. It’s the last thing you want to do when you’re anxious and have so many thoughts, feelings, and emotions racing through your mind and chest but just trust me…. sit in silence. From this place of silence you will recognize the truth of who you are. The answer lies within you if you dig deep enough.”

I swear sometimes this is the hardest thing to do when you’re stressed, anxious, fearful, or even strung out with “happiness”. I say happiness in quotes because often times I find that when your ego is equally as identified with a high state based on the earthly plane that too creates an imbalance which causes a form of anxiety within the body. At least that is what I’ve come to find when my state of happiness is attached to a form of this earthly plane and not from within my deeper self.

So how do I re-center myself and find peace? How do I find the place so deep, yet reachable, within me that cannot be touched from any person, event, or even emotion?

Seasons

Ever have a moment when you come across a person, book, text, or a line from a tv show and you just KNEW it was a message from the Universe? Perhaps you’ve been meditating on a certain question or something has been on your mind, occupying huge chunks of time from your day, only to wonder to yourself whether what you came across was a coincidence or a divine moment of truth? 🙂

I don’t know about you but I have certainly had these moments many times before.

A little bit more

 

A few fun facts about me:

  • Almond milk lattes are genius concoctions that make my heart skip a beat
  • Peet’s has the best almond milk lattes and trust me, I’ve tried $10 lattes from the hippest of places and I still go back to Peet’s
  • Soy matcha lattes from Turret Coffee might just rival an almond milk latte (BONUS: they even add a spoonful of sweetened adzuki beans!)
  • Feeling a warm summer breeze makes me feel at home
  • I’m Korean American
  • I have a deep love of ART and fell hard into photography. I particularly love capturing the heart and soul of people, hence the portraits you see above
  • If I had to relate to any “lifestyle” of eating I love the Primal lifestyle Mark Sisson promotes and eat gluten free. It has changed my life!
  • Farmers market every single Sunday
  • While I was a heavy crossfitter in the past I now know to mix it up with pilates, YOGA, spin, and being out in nature. All thanks to a back injury
  • Adrenal fatigue is a REAL THING. And trust me… it sucks. It hit in 2015 and took a few years to fully recover. I have to say, I learned so much in the process which has led me to a serve a greater purpose
  • 95% of my mornings start off with meditation. Where is the other 5%? When life happens, which ironically is when you need meditation the most 😉

There’s so much more… and  because as human beings we are such complex beings it’s just impossible to try and sum it up in a single blog post! I also recognize we are constantly growing, stretching and learning which makes this journey so beautiful and fun.

That said, I hope to share a bit more in each blog post through every a-ha and beautiful life moment.

In wellness.
