Whether you think you can, or you can't - you're right


Hey, Reader —

So excited that The Imprint begins Monday! This is a good one, four simple breath-focused meditations. Hope to see you live at 06h00, or on the recordings.

One of the things I hear most often from people about meditation is this:

“I can’t meditate! I’ve tried before… but I couldn’t stick with it.”

Very often, it’s not because someone can’t meditate.

It’s because the way meditation is often taught asks us to do something very difficult: sit still, quiet the mind, remove distraction.

For some, that works beautifully.

And for many others, especially those of us with busy or active minds, it can feel frustrating.

The style of meditation I teach is a little different.

Instead of trying to empty the mind and be still, the practices train the mind, giving your attention somewhere to go.

We work with breath, rhythm, movement, mantra – engaging the body and mind together so attention naturally begins to settle.

Your thoughts don’t need to disappear. In fact, some of my best insights and aha! moments have come during meditation! Many of you know my epiphany to open Morpho Bleu came to me during meditation.

Your mind simply learns to follow the choreography of the practice.

And something interesting happens when you approach meditation this way:

It becomes easier to return to. The rhythm begins to stick. Your mind can begin to settle into a natural focus and calm. The practice starts to feel like something you can rely on.

Breathing becomes easier, shoulders and neck soften, and the mind feels clearer.

This is one of the reasons The Imprint works so well.

For five days, you don’t have to figure anything out except whether you’ll join live or catch the recordings. You simply press play – or click the zoom link – and we move through the practice together.

Our next practice begins March 16, and I’d love to guide you through it. Hope to see you there.

Big love,
Sara

P.S. Did you catch my update in an earlier email? There’s an important shift in how you will receive the recordings, starting this session. You can continue to practice with recordings all season long when you join my membership! Try three months, and receive The Imprint plus so much more! Otherwise access to the recordings ends on March 22, the equinox weekend.

P.P.S. If The Imprint isn’t for you this spring season, you can click here and I’ll skip you on the next few emails. I will send one more Sunday night just in case you change your mind – and you’ll still stay on my list for everything else I share.

Hi, Reader — Do you feel some spring energy moving through you yet? I plunged into the season wholeheartedly! The Imprint was such a powerful way to begin stirring this yang energy, and I’m still doing the meditations every morning – it’s a good one. My vision board session on the equinox was also so much fun, thank you for joining, if you were there. We dreamt up some inspiring and soulful visions to draw on for the season ahead. This week, I’ve been settling back into Montreal life....

Hi, Reader — I’ve just come back from a family trip to Costa Rica, and I’m feeling that particular energy of transition very strongly right now – that sense of returning, re-entering, and standing at the edge of something new. The Pisces New Moon comes in the final stretch before the astrological new year, and it feels like such an important threshold. With eclipse season still echoing through the atmosphere, there can be a sense that things are shifting, even if you can’t quite name it all...

Hello there, Reader! The Imprint begins tomorrow! Spring is always one of my favourite sessions, the rising energy and more daylight always gives me fuel. If you already know you’re in, get registered now so you have everything ready, as there’s a slight change in how you’ll access the recordings this time. → Join The Imprint And if you’re new – or returning after a while – here’s a little glimpse of what the experience is actually like: For five days, we move through the practice together....
