Check your perspective. Yoga is the practice of t Check your perspective. Yoga is the practice of taking responsibility for sorting your mental content (YS 1.2) so that you can abide in your essence as a person (YS 1.3). If you choose not to practice Yoga, you will instead identify yourself with your mental content (YS 1.4). This photo is a great example of how you might practice Yoga in each moment. Unless you practice Yoga, you will believe that I am a relatively small person sitting on a relatively large chair in a relatively medium world. This would be identifying with your mental content. Meanwhile, if this picture was taken from just one step in any direction, the illusion would be broken and you would see the situation in a different way. Your sensory experience in any given moment reveals facts based on your unique, contingent circumstances. So while something is true from your perspective, someone standing just one step to the left could see something entirely different. Instead of taking responsibility for our mental content (aka practicing Yoga), we have been taught egotism by our culture of domination, where we conflate ourselves with our experience. So when someone stands one step to the left and describes their view, if you are in a state of ego you will likely feel personally attacked because your experience IS you, and they are denying it. This might then justify blaming, shaming, or otherwise putting that person ‘in their place,’ feeding the cycles of violence that uphold domination culture. According to Yoga, egotism is afflicted (YS II.3), and it inhibits your practice. So next time someone says something that – from your perspective – is false, I invite you to practice Yoga. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your mental content and ACKNOWLEDGE your contingent circumstances. Then step into the role of the Researcher and ask the person to tell you about their contingent circumstances, so that you can understand their view! UNDERSTANDING ≠ AGREEMENT! This is The One Person Revolution my friends. It starts with me and it starts with you.

If you have trouble for asking what you want, I im If you have trouble for asking what you want, I imagine that one of these issues might resonate with you: Issue #1: You don’t want to be an inconvenience Issue #2: You don’t want to be rejected I have a solution that addresses both of these issues! It lies in the distinction between requests and demands. Demands are the kinds of things where someone thinks they will be punished if they say ‘no.’ In a society where power over (vs. power with) is the paradigm, demands are normalized. Has someone ever ‘asked’ you do to something, and you knew you had no choice but to do it? This is the energy of a demand dressed up as a request. Alternatively, have you ever asked someone to do something and after they said no, you punished them in thought, word or action? In this case, you were making a demand in disguise. If you don’t want to be an inconvenience and/or if you don’t want to be rejected, consciously or subconsciously you might be thinking about making a demand.. and you don’t feel good about it. So you might choose not to ask for (aka demand) what you want because don't want to be a part of that oppressive energy. However! There is another way to not be a part of that oppressive energy AND get what you want! The solution is to take responsibility for your needs. Check out the example in the slides for how this could look! When you make a request (versus a demand), you - honour the other person’s Sovereignty, - honour your own Sovereignty, - practice power with, and - receive joyfully (because you know that someone is saying ‘yes’ because they want to, not because they think they have to). Week 2 of the Compassionate Communication Masterclass Series is all about self-expression and making requests! Please consider joining us!

How do we create connection across lines of differ How do we create connection across lines of difference? [Get ready for a mega face zoom in this video. I can’t explain it. It just is and I’m rolling with it] Hem hem. Back to the post. So how do we create connection? A great place to start is with what we all have in common! Nonviolent Communication suggests that all humans have a common set of needs. Unfortunately, we have not been taught to think in terms of our common humanity. Instead, we have been conditioned to other others, leading to judgement, criticism and blame (all examples of communication that alienates connection). There is another option! Start creating connection by developing a ‘needs literacy!’ This is Self-Intimacy at work, and as you practice you will gain a deeper understanding of the difference between needs and strategies, allowing you to get below conflict (within yourself and with others) and arrive at the heart of the conversation. Take off the blinders of socialization and let creativity and connection enter! It seems too easy to actually work.. but it does. We are designed to be in connection. Practicing Yoga in the form of Nonviolent Communication is a practical approach to deprogramming disconnection and integrating devotion to the Sovereignty of all people. Want to jump-start your need literacy? Join my Compassionate Communication Masterclass offering starting on August 10! It will offer you an entirely unique blend of Yoga philosophy, Nonviolent Communication, and Anti-Oppression work. There are only 6 spots left! So please let me know if you have any questions and/or join us today! Love from, Tara This post is inspired by the work of: @centerfornvc [Video Description: Tara - a white bodied being – sitting outside on a red chair in the shade on a sunny day with a wood fence in the background.

How can your judgements serve you? Judgements oft How can your judgements serve you? Judgements often create separation, a feeling of me/you or us/them. This is not ideal if you value connection. And yet both Yoga philosophy and Nonviolent Communication view people as inherently compassionate things. The kinds of things that don’t naturally judge others. This is very ideal! So why the incongruence? It is our misidentification with experience that causes this phenomenon of judgement, which is greatly enhanced by our conditioning and socialization in a dominating culture which itself thrives on separation. When you notice yourself making a judgement, you have a few options: A. Identify with and re-affirm it B. Be hard on yourself for being judgemental. C. Translate the judgement into unmet needs, and then take actions to meet those needs. I advocate for option C! Every thought, word or action is an attempt to meet a need. So get in the driver’s seat of your life and use that feedback to create a life that you live on your own terms! Want to learn more about this process? Join my Compassionate Communication Masterclass offering starting on August 10! Spots are filling up, so please let me know if you have any questions and/or join us today! Love from, Tara [Video Description: Tara - a white bodied being - walking with sunglasses on, wearing a jean jacket, black t-shirt and a backwards black and white baseball hat.

Yesterday I shared about how – from an anti-oppr Yesterday I shared about how – from an anti-oppression perspective – we are ALL needy. Needs as I describe them are not tangible things like money. They are intangible energies like ‘security’ that characterize your individual Sovereignty as a person. So, while we all have a universal set of needs in common, your CORE needs (aka core values) are uniquely your own. For example, in times of stress or when you are unable to attend to all of your needs that are present, which ones do you consistently prioritize? Your core values form the foundation of how you approach strategizing and choice-making. And yet, if you are not aware of or intentionally choosing your core values, you may be consistently making strategic choices in life that are leaving you dissatisfied. If you are feeling frustrated, confused, uneasy, disconnected, fatigued or powerless, you may not be choosing in alignment with your core values. There is a solution. Step 1: Learn what your priorities are. Step 2: Align your choices with them! How? Start with getting to know yourself in my upcoming Masterclass Series offering called Compassionate Communication. What core values you act on consistently shape your strategizing and decision-making processes. How you speak to yourself when your core values are (un)met is the foundational tone of all of your thoughts, words, and actions. Want your inner voice to be softer and more kind to you? Want to assert your core values with others while also meeting your needs for compassion and understanding? We start diving into this all in Week 1 of the Compassionate Communication Masterclass Series. This is revolutionary work. And you don’t need any energetic tools or spiritual experience to do it. You are your own healer. All aspects that make up you can operate in harmony. In this Masterclass series, you will start to unlearn what is getting in the way of that harmony, and utilize approachable strategies to create change. Please join us on the Moon-days in August: August 10, 17, 24, and 31. Space is limited so please let me know if you have any questions, and sign up today! With love, Tara [ID pinned in comments]
