I have not found any comparable programs. Please tell me that ordering your Bootcamp series is not an impossibility. Thank you for my momentary mind and body wellness.

I just wanted to tell you that I've been watching your video blog for some months now and I just love it! I'm living and working in Santiago, Chile and it's been a slow, challenging, amazing process to find my way here and feel at home while living abroad. Your videos have truly helped me to feel grounded and accompanied in my yoga practice. So thank you for reaching out and please keep the teachings coming:) all the best, Audrey Hi Ashley,

]]> Comment on Truth Be Told – 5 Steps to Speaking Your Truth by sarah http://ashleyturner.org/stress-relief/truth-be-told/#comment-7370 sarah Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:14:42 +0000 http://ashleyturner.org/?p=2693#comment-7370 Thank you so much for this Ashley, exactly what I needed to read right now. Whilst i find it easy to speak my truth through writing, it can be super hard to be honest and vulnerable face to face. Your point 5 about family background is true for me, and as Ton wrote it is definately blocking up energy. Are there any other practices or tools that are helpful for this along with affirmations?

This week I was at work rushing to and fro, literally speeding down hallways in order to complete my tasks. At some point I realized the pressure I had placed on myself was unrealistic and I slowed down. I decided to analyze each step I took, the color of the carpeting, the movement of my feet--these were great ways to stay in the moment. I will continue to be mindful. Thanks!

And maybe all this career-wavering time, after previously being so ambitious, where I have "wasted time" on simple pleasures in life like cooking and self-help and getting deep into yoga as I try, or wait for something, to sort out my aimless career motivation is actually what I need to make myself a better future wife and mother.

Career-wise I have been sitting here for several years through various jobs in the same industry, and don't feel I am getting clear enough answers on whether to stay or go. Attractive jobs come along just when I'm done, but then those don't move forward or are not what I hoped, and I am back to deciding what to do next, thinking of switching paths, until the next opportunity comes along that I think is going to save me. I struggle to take more control of this process so I can really find a path that I am passionate about again, rather than going with what keeps landing in my lap, which I definitely had when I was younger. Will sit with all this. So here we go – Tension of the Opposites is where I live.

It just never seems to lead anywhere that moves me forward in my career/love life. I return home to the same place at the end of each adventure, even though I have a stronger sense of self from it. When I look back I have a string of awesome adventures, but none of them have so far led to making a film, love, or a stable job career path as I had hoped would transpire from the experience. I feel I'm still waiting for the dots to connect. Will look to Part 2 to see if that helps, since I'm very good at these first two steps of the journey...

I am very sorry about the loss of your grandmother. On the topic of slowing down, take a few extra-minutes to stretch your walking meditation! Instead of walking at your normal pace, slow your pace, cover less distance but walk the same amount of time. It slows everything for me and I am more present! ePrana to you! CarlosG Thank you for your message. I am very sorry about the loss of your grandmother.
