What does it mean to live in Love and Alignment?

Somewhere along the way I got lost. Not necessary lost because we’re never truly lost, but one could say I was jumbled up.

I didn’t understand healthy boundaries, I didn’t unconditionally love myself or my body. I was in a state of fight or flight more than I should have been. I wasn’t breathing correctly. Sometimes it felt like I wasn’t breathing at all.

I was on a path that so many others are on. Put your head down, keep pushing through life, grind as hard as you can and pray you don’t burn out.

In the depths of my soul I could feel that there was more. I felt I was being sold a lie. This is as good as it gets? We all work hard, strive for perfection, dislike ourselves and just scrape by? Our relationships are neglected because bills need to be paid and kids need to be raised but I was always wondering, why can’t these things coincide together? Why is everyone pretending to be okay?

And then came my wakeup. I committed to meditating two hours a day. Something I accomplished while pregnant and with a toddler, and I began to wake up. I could see clearly for the first time in my entire life.

I learned how to breathe correctly. I learned how to worship my own body. I learned how to slow down. I learned how to face trauma and shame. I learned how to prioritize myself and my dreams.

I learned how to figure out what it felt like to be in true alignment with my inner self. I stopped and listened to my wishes, desires, what my soul was aching for.

I wanted connectedness, not only with myself, but with others. Connectedness of body, mind, soul and heart. I wanted to heal others, the way I healed. I wanted my life to match my heart. I wanted to live every day, every moment, in a state of absolute truth in love and alignment.

So I went back to school. I worked with incredible practitioners, took amazing classes and worked on intimacy in every realm I could think of.

And then I was ready…. Ready to continue living my dream. My dream of helping others wake up, love themselves, love their partners and develop an intimacy with life that is so great they could only dream of it.
