If you are on this page, considering this YTT, then take a moment to ask yourself:
What would happen if I did this training?
What am I waiting for?
Tantra teaches us to lean toward the uncomfortable. TBH, that’s what our theme for 2024 feels like already for us personally. So, my friend, if you feel nervous, intimidated, or judged if you were to do this – this might just be the cue to get you out of that resistance. Lean into it.
P.S. The feeling of anxiety is physiologically almost the same as the feeling of excitement. hmmmm, I wonder what that means for you?
Let your awareness flow into your heart.
Can you feel yourself here with us?
Can you imagine yourself expanding your love to all beings?
