Planting Seeds…
In my own recent practice I’ve realized that I can desire changes and even make attempts to commit to myself, but the habits that are no longer my new “Self” are quite challenging to release.
In the last 15 years of learning Ayurveda, yoga, NLP, energy healing and physics, my own self as my case study, I have developed many different programs to help us in our human tendencies to reach our destination. It was said that it takes 21 days to make a change but it takes 40 days to transform that change into a new habit.
Scientists claim that we really are a repetition of our past by the time we reach the age of 35. But I love to challenge the status quo. I’ve come to understand through neuroscience how our brain and body react to changes, and how to overcome, and establish a new pattern, thereby establishing a new path.
And this thought is certainly trending…as we rolled into the New Year 2024, so many posts encouraged a “Self Care” vs. Resolution theme for the new years intentions. So it is collectively understood that the old ways, the past ways we have been doing things are not providing the results we desire. At least not in a nourishing way.
Personally I like to comprehend. I like to know. I love details and evidence. And even in the past I’ve started to make changes based on the knowledge, only to fall back into a habit that I’m not happy with - its like the old story is on repetitive rerun, ick.
Then it clicked! I happened upon a concept that made total sense to me and I felt I had been repeating in my head: The body (not the mind) becomes the autopilot of our day. Meaning, my brain may decide to embrace new information, but if I don’t get past the repetitive habits of my cells and emotions and storage in my body, I am most guaranteed to return and repeat the old patterns.
So how do I get the physical body and mind (and emotions) to align? That is the 40 day program for this Spring. Since it is much more than a 1 day workshop or weekend retreat - this program is designed to feed and nourish your mind/body connection daily.
How does it work?
We have created a private web studio where you will be opened to new information weekly - right from our M8 Website, you’ll login, and receive daily routines, healthy plant based recipes, and workshop sessions that you can embrace at your own time and pace. To launch the 40 days you are invited to the Lunar New Year session at the studio and to complete the 40 days we will be celebrating the Spring Equinox! Both workshops included.
Also included is 40 days of classes in the M8 Studio - Pilates, yoga, ballet, open studio available for you to book as much as you desire. Your current membership will be paused and saved during the 40 days so no worry! We would love to check in and invite you to share your journey with us to feel supported and excited about the changes you are welcoming.
Our goal is to plant seeds for lasting change. Together we will work to find the best formats that nourish your current reality and lifestyle, yet stimulate a new cellular pattern. Maybe you fall in love with journaling, or realize that morning meditation is your new sunshine, or that your body loves the Ayurvedic spices designed for your dosha…its all in there.
Spring renewal is our theme. We are all evolving to become a better version, more loving, joyful and free in our body. Looking forward to this journey together.
