Living Yoga

Sometimes i ask myself , why i do what i do for a living.
Its intense and so intimate.
I also ask myself how i would describe my work to a stranger.
A healer?
A teacher?
A pyscho somatic therapist?

I work with people and their wounds,
i work with people and their patterns, the ones
they see and the ones they choose not to see.
Avoidance and hesitation are parts of my daily work,
and escape.
Oh, the big escape.
So is self regulation, so is healing,
so is clarity,
so is peace,
so is joy.

In life, everything shuffles and shifts .
Our internal world becomes our safest of havens or our escape from reality.

So i suppose im the woman who teaches you how to heal.

Just some of our pictures together.
Happy Birthday aunty.
Youll always have the biggest place in my heart❤️❤️❤️

Imagine having a life so full you want to be part of every day.
A real life.
One you miss when you leave for a bit.

Not an instagram one with all the frills that hide
reality.

Love,

I hear so many people talk about 'healing', 'self-care','rituals','clarity',
which is great ..

But let me just say this(and not being one to mince my words) -while wanting all the above to immerse itself in your life is wonderful , without AWARNESS it is not possible.
Yes, love yourself but also analyse, be critical of how you think, how you act and how you behave.
'Self love' without awarness is useless.

So many reach out to me wanting help on their journey, expecting a magic wand, a magic yoga session, a magic spirit based tool, a magic pill to put things in place, to fix 'things'.
Maybe that exists somewhere else ...for a week.
But not from me.

On the contrary ill tell you the opposite, ill tell you there are no short cuts, there are no 'pills' to rapidly erase or fix things.
The 'work' to joy and balance never stops.
Its a daily beautiful challenge with yourself.
Its you addressing ancestral karma, family patterns, etc and wanting to leave an imprint for future generations.
YOU make a difference.

Love,

Mounira

The relationship we have with ourselves is
not optional.
Its all we've got.
It determines every aspect of our life.

Ask yourself how your feeling,
ask yourself what you need.
I dont mean just once a year, or only when things start
to fall apart.
Wake up, take a deep breath and check in with yourself every.single.day.

Love,
Mounira

Jealousy.
Topic for today.

Jealousy might be the most condemed emotion in modern life.
We treat it as evidence of insecurity, bitterness,
or emotional immaturity.

But jealousy isnt a moral failure, it is information.
A very painful but clarifying signal of what we long for, what we fear losing and what kind of lives live within us.
Denying jealousy does not make disappear, it
only makes it more passive aggressive, shame riden and isolating.
Identifying and naming jealousy can do far more for us than suppressing it ever does.
The problem is not jealousy itself, it is learning to acknowledge it honestly .

So many of you tell me that routine is insanely hard to maintain.
So is discipline
But you know what ,they are life savers.

A beautiful life is a peaceful life.
Its a life full of a thousand quiet boundaries.

As human beings we are hard work.
And amen to that.
We have opinions and we get things wrong,
some people mis -understand us, and see things we thought no one would ever do,
some challenge us and some tell us the truth,
you need to remember that the safest relationships are not those where nothing uncomfortable happens.

The safest and most beautiful relationships are where uncomfortable things happen....and people stay.

They stay after the panic and the tears, and after youve changed your mind for the 10th time,
after youve shown them the parts youd rather stay hidden.

A beautiful life is FULL of boundaries.
A beautiful life is FULL of messiness and truth and forgiveness,
it is also a life FULL of people who stay.

Wishing a good week ahead,
Love,

Mounira

Regulated people regulate people.
Rested people restore people .
Calm people calm people.
Grounded people ground people.

Healing your nervous system heals more than just
you.
