Did an eight week course on it, has really helped with my chronic pain and stress! Three part breath is particularly cool, it’s almost psychedelic and you can work through some serious emotional shit and cry and scream and laugh. highly recommend if your body has been keeping the score a lil too hard lately. Check out the Open app or Corpus Ritual by Jennifer Patterson :) she’s extremely based and actually not goopy at all. her book The Power of Breathwork is also a great place to start!

I read Breath by James Nestor (it was life changing) and am attending a breathing workshop over the weekend. It is simply amazing how much we can do for our bodies through breath. There is no feeling like connecting to your body through breath and movement.

I know it’s a good meditation or yoga practice when my eyes spontaneously water and I feel a strong sense of relief, letting go of tension. I had the strangest realization that I’ve done yoga for my root, sacral, solar plexus, and heart chakras countless times, but despite knowing that one should run through each chakra from bottom to top like a ladder, I’ve only done yoga for the throat, third eye, and crown a handful of times, if that. Fell asleep AGAIN during this practice (third night in a row!) but during shavasana like a normal person.

She has a course on Insight Timer about releasing blame and resentment that I loved. but if you want something free I would recommend her RAIN meditations on YouTube. This linked one is specific to anger and blame

I went to the Korean spa for the first time with my bestie last night and it was a profoundly nourishing experience on every level. we were having deep heart to hearts while schvitzing it out in the sauna and it felt like my soul was being cleansed. there are these tubs of different temperatures and this basin full of mugwort water with empty bowls so you can pour it over yourself, and all these magical heated rooms with different scents and properties. I also saw people carrying giant bottles of spa water with chopped mango and mint and they were like $20 each but they looked sooo good. next time I also want to go to the Korean restaurant inside and the tea room.

this movie really defined an entire formative era of my life. I was an awkward frizzy-haired tween with glasses when this came out and I saw so much of myself in Mia. my best friend and I had the soundtrack basically memorized (Aaron Carter’s cover of Itty Bitty Little Pretty One lives rent free in my head, as does Miracles Happen by Myra). the love interest Michael (aka Robert Schartzman of Rooney fame) imprinted on my eros and continues to influence my type in masc women to this day. the movie also led me to the (superior if I’m being honest) book series, which played a HUGE role in shaping my taste and sense of humor and interest in pop culture references
