Whatever you've got going on, slowing your nervous system down to let it work its magic should be part of your playbook


Yoga nidra is so cool!

It’s like the ultimate healing method for those of us who are tired of doing & trying stuff. But we know we need attention. We know our bodies are loudly demanding that something’s gotta give.

Sometimes healing or becoming healthy feels like so much effort. Maybe yoga nidra is the answer to the lazy woman’s prayers! ha-ha

I sat down with my friend and colleague, Dr. Aarti Soorya, to discuss healing, yoga nidra, the nervous system, and conscious awareness - the ven diagram where our work overlaps.

She is offering a chance to try yoga nidra for free on July 26th!

And for the in-depth experience, her 6-month intensive “Transformation Program” starts July 29th

I am a big fan of you experiencing your body’s wisdom first-hand, how easily it responds to your intention to regulate it, and what small shifts are apparent when you let YOUR BODY lead YOU.

And I think Dr. Aarti’s yoga nidra course is an excellent opportunity to do all of that.

This Transformation Program is for you if…

  • You have been struggling with illness or symptoms for a long time, despite doing all the “right things.”
  • You want to move through life with more ease, and feel deeper connection with yourself and others.
  • You feel overwhelmed by all the information out there and are looking for something simple and grounded.
  • You want to understand the wisdom of your body and learn how to work with it to support greater health and vitality.

As you are going along in Dr. Aarti’s program, resting your soul, healing your system, becoming more balanced and less reactive, and clearing out the old layers, “stuff” is bound to come up.

It’s just how healing works. Layers are resolved, which makes way for deeper layers to rise. Of course to our limited, problem-oriented human minds this can look like going backwards or new problems being created.

This “muck rising” can feel difficult to get through. I am here to support you in understanding it, clearing it, coming to know it better, or whatever is needed in your specific situation.

A perfect pairing would be doing the foundational nervous system work with Dr. Aarti and working one-on-one with me, Julie, to support what’s coming up in your system during the 6 month course and beyond. Grab a single session with Julie or Go Deep by gifting yourself a package.

Don’t add more to your heap of “tried that” approaches. Zero in on the simple basics that people have been turning to since ancient times: stillness, rest, going inward, presence, connection with higher self, and natural rhythms. We are here to assist you.

Pinpointed awareness, a broader consciousness, and fully accepting absolutely everything about yourself are the core of what’s needed for meaningful change and true healing.

When you feel you’ve tried everything else and still the pattern persists, it’s time to get super present in your body and open to your higher self to bring in an intelligence and loving presence that far excedes anything that your mind is ever going to construct and lead you to.

When you’re ready to take a peek or jump in completely…

Awake Woman with Julie

I'm a mind/body healing practitioner, consciousness educator, and inspired coach. I write about how awareness of your mindset and emotional state impacts your health and vitality. I believe that the “New Medicine” that awakened humans have already begun moving toward is based in the wisdom of nature, the power of self-healing, and the resonance of energy medicine. Your light shines brightest when you are strong, healthy, and free in body, mind, and spirit. Additionally, in my healing practice, I assist women in their mid-life transition, who have put themselves last for far too long, awaken to their most potent true Self by bringing awareness to their body with intention & listening presence. I invite you to follow along by subscribing or checking out some of my services and products. Thank you!

So many times I have written "your body is trying to get your attention" when trying to illustrate that someone's physical symptom or sensation is not coincidental. It's not a random out-of-the-blue occurrence when X person develops Y condition. I'm not saying we consciously make things happen to ourselves. I'm not saying it's someone's fault when they get sick. And I'm not saying that illness persists because you're weak in some way. What I am saying is that the body responds. The body...

Dear Reader, A big realization that I've had recently is that if I want you to hear, resonate with, and join me in doing this deep work of awakening to your true self, then I have to be doing the exact same work simultaneously. Not similar, parallel work. The EXACT same. Because the clearest way to guide you into the moment when you're face-to-face with that thing that you feel when you're yearning for meaningful change, is to do it in my system first. As my body experiences what it's like to...

Good morning Reader, In what way will you allow light into your system today? Maybe literally by sitting outside for sunset, or taking a walk during the brightest part of the day? Or symbolically, by closing your eyes and envisioning light pouring over you from somewhere far above... Or relationally, by looking into someone's eyes, both of you smiling, sharing your souls' light... Or maybe today it's finding a simple way to let yourself know that you love yourself. Go ahead, it's OK. For a...
