Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Halli Bourne

True Self Wellness invites you into a life more fully lived, digging deeper to reconnect with your truest, most sacred parts of yourSelf for an inspired, satisfying life.

*Dissolve obstacles in the way of having peace in your life.

*Identify limiting beliefs about yourself and others in order to be free of them.

*Cultivate proven practices that support the daily experience of having peace in your life.

*Increase your comfort with the unavoidable uncertainty and paradox of life.

Among the gifts we possess as human beings is the ability to feel, to feel joy as well as sadness, pleasure as well as pain, gratitude and wonder as well as horror and indignation---an entire spectrum of experience. It is tempting to shut down when the difficulties of life assail us. An inspired life asks us to remain open for the full potential of what life offers. In the realm of stillness and creative movement, we can experience the depths of what it means to be human. Our feelings, including both our emotions and the sensations in our bodies, can provide information and insight into who we are (and who we are not). Through watching our feelings and developing a witness consciousness, we gain perspective, wisdom, and peace.

As we change the perspective we have on ourselves, it becomes possible to see others more clearly and the world at large. Through exercising awareness, we learn to make choices more carefully, eliminating our tendency towards reactivity. True self-mastery is achieved through applying consciousness and acting instead with clarity and liberated choice. Peace for the world begins with peace within ourselves. This understanding is the key that will open the door to your True Self.

Getting Started With Halli Bourne

Our breath is what links us to life and to the potential for fulfillment, contentment, and a sense of unity, which is yoga’s true purpose. In a deepened breath, we find dissolution of repetitive, often misinformed thoughts and perceptions of ourselves. Coupling a deepened breath with a conscious life brings ease to the body and a gentle inner stillness becomes possible.

The Sanskrit term, “samskara”, refers to the grooves made by repeated patterns. The nature of the mind is to relentlessly cycle invariable thoughts we have about ourselves and others, maintaining a worldview that imprisons us into a well-worn, constricted groove, or rut. The mind is captivity. Yoga is liberation.

The mind’s nature is to analyze and categorize. The heart’s nature is to open, to beat the pulse of life. When the mind is dominating the voice of the heart, imbalance and misperception naturally result. Yet through the balance of the two, and the balance of all the aspects of our True Nature, we learn how to see ourselves and others more clearly. Fostering this balance, as a yoga practice will do, can yield a reflective, integrated life.
