I can't tell you how nervous/scared I was before the show. I couldn't sleep the night before, and my heart felt so heavy, filled with fear and a sense of "not enough-ness", up until I walked onstage. When the MC lady started to introduce me, the words "3 kids" liberated me. My fearful, frozen heart melted, and my perception of the audience completely shifted from "my judgemental terrifying enemies" to "my loving and caring supporters"💕😂

Today's mantra : I choose love over fear ✨

I want to express my deepest gratitude to @lucis_salon_studio and @mif.a.s for making me feel special on this magical night 💫

Have a nice weekend, everyone! ❄️

"How connected can we be in the present moment with our bodies and can we use our simple techniques of breath, movement & touch to shift our state. Because trauma disrupts all that." - Manela Mischke

What we're aiming for is to find our deeper relationships and connections with our bodies. Once we established that, can you imagine how much peace it would bring to the world? This is my passion to help people to reconnect with their bodies. Free consultation is available now! Link in the bio🤗

A few years ago I used to struggle with my chronic back pain for several years and I've tried everything ; acupuncture, inversion table, cardio and yoga of course. They all helped me to a certain point, but my back pain always came back. So one day I meditated on it and asked my back "Why are you doing this to me?" And to my surprise my back answered "Because I'm the only reason that you would take an actual rest" I was shocked by this answer because it was so true. So I thanked my back for letting me know when to rest and I've been careful not to over work myself. Since then I haven't been experiencing any major back pain and I am grateful for this insight. Somatic healing is something I've always been interested in and now I am finally taking a Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate Course by @theembodylab and I've been finding gold in every lesson so far. I want to thank the Universe for this opportunity and I've been integrating Somatic movements to my yoga classes and I've been getting lots of good feedbacks.

So here is a mantra for tomorrow's full moon : "I am releasing with gratitude"

If you're experiencing some struggle with your body try asking your body parts what's the message behind it. You'll be surprised what you might discover about yourself. Have a happy full moon ✨🌕

"Your worth is not determined by the amount of money you make, nor by the number of qualifications you have. Your worth is determined by how deeply you can love others, including yourself."

"自分の価値は収入の金額に左右されないし、持ってる資格の数にも左右されない。自分の価値は、自分も含めてどれだけ人を深く愛せるかによる"

That's what I wrote on my journal a while ago and I wanted to share it with you all. I highly recommend writing a journal if you haven't done it yet because when you look back, you can re-learn from yourself and appreciate how your past has shaped who you are today.

Have a nice rest of your week filled with love 💓🌱

There's nothing like the feeling when my students come to me after the class and ask me "Where else do you teach? I wanna come to more of your classes" 🥰

I had another lucid dream the other night. As soon as I realized I'm in a dream, I rushed to the nearest person which was a middle aged lady, and asked "what's the meaning of life?"(Because whoever you're talking to in your lucid dream, you are communicating with your subconscious mind) And she started talking about how great deal you can get by shopping at Costco. (Maybe my subconscious mind wants to shop more at Costco? 🤔) So I grabbed the next person and his answer was "We share our experiences and learn from each other." And the next person I grabbed said something more profound but I couldn't stay awake in my dream and I forgot his answer 😭 I was so bummed so I meditated on it the next night. And to my surprise, the answer came back to me. It was "The meaning of life is to Make It." You are the one making the meaning out of your own life. No one else is. What's your thought on that?

Stay cool, everyone! 🌱

With permission I'm posting this message from my student because it really made my day...or I should say all those years of teaching yoga! I'm usually hard on myself whenever my students compliment my classes I force myself to think "oh, she's just being nice" or "that's so sweet, but I don't deserve it." But nowadays I'm finally starting to accept these words. I'm finally seeing myself deserve these compliments and it's a huge change for me. I can't thank my students enough for all their kindness and patience and I'm sending my deepest gratitude to @elissamichelle33 for this thoughtful message which almost made me tear up. I am excited to see our continuous growth with my students 🌱

Let the light shine through you. If what you're doing is bringing people joy, that's how you tell you're in the alignment. And that's how you serve the world✨

These days I am truly enjoying teaching yoga without feeling too self-conscious or too awkward with myself. It took me long enough to get to this point where I'm more focused on students and not on my shortcomings. And I'm very grateful to all of my students who are also my genuine teachers whom I deeply respect. Thank you all, you guys are awesome! 🙏🏻🌱

How often do you give yourself compliments? For me, not often enough but I'm slowly learning to do so. When you did something good, recapture the moment, reinforce that accomplished feelings, and repeat doing that good thing. (Recap, Reinforce & Repeat!) When you didn't do so well, take a note what you've learned from it without judging yourself. Happy almost May to everyone! 🌱

When you feel a lack of contentment, it does not indicate a need for something outside of yourself; it indicates a need to become present and connect with something deeper already inside yourself.

Have a happy week 🌱

 Maia : Mommy, can we have the same hairstyle and wear the same clothes when I get bigger?😃
Me : Oh, I would love that! 😍 But I bet you will change your mind when you hit your teens. In fact, you'll probably want to do exact the opposite. 😅
Maia : I won't change my mind. Even if I get embarrassed by wearing the same clothes, I'll never change my mind and I'll always love you.

Kids are so adorable. We'll see how she feels in 4 years. Please don't change! Happy May 💜
