As we move into June, I’ve been reflecting on how much we try to carry — even in seasons that are meant to feel lighter. This month, more than ever, I’m learning to listen deeply to what my body and spirit truly need.
I have some medical tests coming up that bring a layer of uncertainty to my days. And with that comes a reminder I often share with others, but now must turn inward: It’s okay to pause. It’s okay not to know. These moments of not-knowing are part of the journey too.
So this summer, I’ve made the conscious decision to simplify — for myself and for all of you who might also be navigating your own version of “a lot.” I’ve shifted to offering live classes just three days a week and reimagined our meditation offerings into one gentle, Summer Meditation Practice Path that blends different approaches into a calm, weekly rhythm.
Through it all, my personal practice has become my refuge. I begin and end each day with chants to Medicine Buddha and Green Tara — calling in healing, protection, and compassion. These sacred mantras help me stay rooted, even when everything feels uncertain. They remind me that healing isn’t about control — it’s about trust.
As we also step into Pride Month, I’m inspired by the bravery of those who live their truth in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. While my journey may be different, I know what it means to stand in your authenticity through life’s challenges — to say, “This is who I am. This is what I need.”
So here’s my invitation to you for June:
✨ Make space to breathe.
✨ Choose simplicity.
✨ Let your practice support you — not as another task, but as a gentle return to yourself.
You don’t have to do everything. You don’t need all the answers. You are allowed to just be.
With love, presence, and trust in the path ahead,
Deb
