Have you ever noticed how the mind keeps moving ev

Have you ever noticed how the mind keeps moving even when nothing is happening?

We spend a lot of time believing rest means blankness. No thoughts. No activity. Just sleep. But the mind rarely stops. Even in deep rest, something subtle remains. A sense of absence. A quiet knowing. A trace of awareness.

𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 / 𝐒𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝟏.𝟏𝟎
𝒂𝒃𝒉𝒂̄𝒗𝒂-𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒚𝒂𝒚𝒂̄𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒂̄ 𝒗𝒓̣𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒓 𝒏𝒊𝒅𝒓𝒂̄
Sleep is a mental activity that arises from the experience of absence.

We say, “I wasn’t thinking.”
We say, “I was completely out.”
But absence itself becomes the object.
Blankness is still something the mind knows.

This sutra invites a reframe of rest. Sleep is not the shutting off of the mind but another form of movement within it. Awareness softens. Content thins. Still, the mind remains engaged with the sense of nothingness.

Let the sutra meet you where you are and maybe ask
𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅?

Words to carry into a new year. Drop resolutions

Words to carry into a new year.

Drop resolutions or keep them if they serve you. A tendency exists to demand, to force, to grip tightly around who we think we should be. Another way is possible.

What about softening into the seed of something. Planting wonder. Choosing a quiet compass point you can return to again and again.

Choose one word. Or two. Or three. Or four.
Let love be one of them. Or let it be the ground they grow from.

Presence. Creativity. Surrender. Play.

The idea came from 3 heart led Santoshis who shared that they choose a few words and keep returning to them throughout the year. Not as rules. Not as pressure. As touchstones.

Words that can also carry you in new directions, because what we plant grows. Bringing in seeds of intention feels like a gorgeous way to welcome the new year.

If there is anyone you can plant these seeds with, a friend, a partner, a family member, or yourself, let them be something you return to. Let them become touch points throughout the year.

A year will hold many textures. Let what grows from these seeds help guide you as you move through it.

Held, always.

Thankful to Kai, Steph, and Beth for their share, their presence, and their hearts ❤️

the longest night of the year 🌚 nothing to fix not

the longest night of the year 🌚
nothing to fix
nothing to rush

there is beauty and space
breath and presence

we bow to the dark
we honour you
we feel the wisdom of that which we can not yet see

light is slowly returning
together, dark and light shape balance
there is not one without the other

thank you dark
we honour you
