I fell back in love with yoga after a minor back injury in 2022. To be exact, it happened on 2/2/22 -- and yes, I was paying attention to the sign.
The sign was to slow down. To stop trying to do everything myself (as a firstborn productivity addict, that has been a hard lesson to learn).
It was during Covid, I was rushing to cram in a stationary bike ride and squats before my Sanctuary community was meeting. I picked up the heavy weight, forgot to focus on form -- even though I used to be a personal trainer and group fitness instructor (great gig post-divorce: free gym membership) -- and it was putting on my leggings afterwards that I realized I couldn't move. Damn those leggings.
That led to an internal breakdown and a real reckoning. I was pushing, striving, cramming, overdoing. It was yoga though, with all that stretching, physically and mentally, that brought me back to the only real truth: the present moment.
This conversation with my friend Neale Donald Walsch will stretch you in the best way. Like your favorite yoga class, it might be uncomfortable for a second and then something opens.
Neale shares so many expansive and honest things I've heard about God, love, forgiveness, and who you actually are. Stay with us for the close because the way he ends this one – well, I don't want to give it away – but it's worth your time.
I always love hearing where you've been stretched lately, and how you're learning to trust what's on the other side of that.
With so much love,
Julie
P.S. A 90-minute Soul-Alignment Intensive Session is absolute alchemy and exactly what it sounds like. If you're ready for a real breakthrough, I'd love to support you stretching yourself to what's possible. ✨ juliereisler.com/calendar ✨
Takeaways
- Your life is not about you; it's about everyone you touch.
- There is no absolute right or wrong; morality evolves.
- Love is all that matters; forgiveness is unnecessary when understood.
- The divine is not separate from us; we are individuation of divinity.
- Contrast and opposites are essential for experience and growth.
