This week Tess & Sarah talk to Lillie Jewell, an experienced yoga teacher, Ayurveda practitioner and nutritionist. Throughout this episode with Lillie we explore how peace and happiness comes from connecting with our awareness, pausing and understanding that no emotion we have and no role we play is what makes us, us.
Main points about what we discussed in this episode:
[7:20] Awareness is looking at the Self, detaching from the roles that we play in life and connecting with the deeper purpose of the Self and life itself.
[11:30] Cultivating peace is individual. To cultivate peace we need to look at why we feel certain emotions and be aware of what it is without judging it.
[24:47] The practice of yoga postures is really focusing our attention on what is going on inside the body. Becoming aware of these things during practice helps to support ourselves in difficult life moments.
[35:40] Sharing our story is an important way to help others who are struggling with similar things so we don’t feel alone.
This week’s Happy Edit Tool: Pause and come back to the breath. Notice what the breath is like in the current moment, with your current feeling. And if the current feeling isn’t how you want to be feeling, how can you change your breath to better support you? Taking an easy, deeper breath into the abdomen and an easy, longer breath out.
Happiness isn't just being happy, it's an embodied feeling that starts with how we approach life, our actions and our mindset. Everyone has a range of emotions and that’s a good thing. Join The Happy Edit Sisters as they dive into what it means to be happy and how we can build a foundation for happiness through different lenses.
