Being an empath and intuitive means so much more than it used to. It has evolved to expose the PURPOSE of why one is here. An empath is sensitive and feels things in their own physical/emotional being “more” comparison to those around them.  They have a heightened awareness that they are different, others can affect them emotionally and even physically.  For many, they may reach a point of this being overwhelming, where functioning on a daily basis has become very hard and/or feels impossible.

Happiness starts by being present. The conditions for happiness are present in each moment. Our simple meditation practice in the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh will help you arrive into the present moment. By practicing in a group we can take care of ourselves, by supporting one another. We meet once a week for about 20 minutes of sitting meditation, 10 minutes of walking meditation, and a brief check-in. This is wonderful way to find community, and to find home.

My yoga class is first of all, fun. I find that adults stick with an exercise or stress release activity, like yoga, if they are enjoying themselves and feeling the benefits right from the start. Every class we concentrate on the areas of the body that my students say need attention that day, right away.  If you have a sore neck or shoulders, tell me right before we start class and I will address that. Many of my students have sore hips and lower back muscles because they sit a lot during the da …
