It's time to pause ... to regroup.  To realign.  To restructure.  To replenish our souls.  To begin again.  I believe in Divine Timing and that all is well, even when it doesn't look that way.  Even when it's uncomfortable as hell... which is what we are experiencing now.  Taking action too quickly will result in perpetuating patterns.  Sitting still doing nothing and zoning out, will result in the same old patterning.  But resting in the Sacred Pause will give us all time to reflect, renew, listen and then move forward to create this new world with purpose, power, and authentic passion for life.   * * Use this time to go in with an eye on your heart and your life.  Do not judge ... just observe.  Listen deeply and act slowly.  Pause. Rest. Love.  Listen to me talk about the Sacred Pause and why it's essential to our humanity now.  Listen to me talk about the SACRED PAUSE as a necessity, Find me on Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 31: Sacred Pause

Frequency: the measurement of energy and vibration.  What does that have to do with you as a human?  Only everything.  Where you "vibrate" is what you create.  This isn't "good vibes only" ... this is your undercurrent that is creating your life.  This is the heart and head merging together putting a focus on big decisions that must come from the heart for powerful healing, which is driven by your frequency. * * Your F R E Q U E N C Y dictates your life.  But, that does NOT mean that when you are experiencing "bad things", your vibe is "bad".  It means that there is something within you that is needing attention for some reason or another.  And what's "bad" anyway?  It is also does meant that we can spiritually bypass the things that we consider “low-vibratory-frequency” just to experience "good vibes."   It means to find the frequency aligned with LOVE in ALL that you are going through, and all that is happening in your life right now. Bring your F R E Q U E N C Y to a pulse that can resonate with the mystical, the Divine, and the power of love. Which is easy to witness when things are going well…. find that frequency in ALL the things. That means no “Namastay-ing” yourself through life. Or passing on “sending light and love” bombs. This energy is about aligning with the conjunction of your heart, your mind, and your soul so you can bring your frequency to a place that only knows love. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 30: Frequency

Ahimsa is usually translated as nonviolence, but this goes far beyond physically hurting others or ourselves.  First and foremost we have to learn how to be nonviolent toward ourselves. We can include verbally abusing ourselves – becoming consciously aware of what our “I am” statements sound like.  This can be as subtle as criticizing our body, our actions or even saying things like, “I’m old!”  Any thought, word, or action that prevents us (or someone else) from growing and living freely is one that is considered harmful. The practice of compassion becomes essential when practicing ahimsa. When we begin to recognize the life created around us through nature and animals, we begin to realize that we are an integral part of its sustainability and preservation.  We naturally find ourselves wanting to protect all living things. It becomes difficult to avoid recycling, damaging a tree or harming an animal – even an insect. Each act would be an act of violence toward ourselves as well.  Listen to me talk about COMPASSION as a necessity, Find me on Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 29: Compassion

Have you ever wanted to do something for yourself and then decided at the last minute, “I better not,” or thought “I shouldn’t do this... I have so many other obligations I need to take care of first”? We all do it—put everyone else’s needs first. If you’re a woman, it’s almost an inherent trait to put yourself last. But just for fun, dare I ask, why? Why do you continue to put everyone else’s needs and desires before your own? Why do you continue to put your dreams on hold for your so-called “obligations” in life? What message is that sending to your loved ones, yourself, God?  Ask yourself right now—what are your dreams and desires? What would the life of your dreams look like? This isn’t some obligatory life that has been directed by your parents, teachers, or peers, but a life that is truly your own. Do you even know what your dreams are? Or has it been so long that you have forgotten what they are? The obligatory self-talk is what gets you to stop dreaming.  Listen to me talk about Dreaming Big, making things happen, and listening to my heart.  Find me on Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 28: Dream Big

90,000 thoughts a day, only 21,600 breaths.  You are bound to fall into a pattern and react instead respond. What does this have to do with communication?  Everything! The way you communicate to yourself is actually the first thing you must focus on if you are to have successful relationships.  Because whatever is showing up in relationship outside of yourself is actually in direct proportion to how you speak and interact with yourself. * * Be mindful of how you are communicating to yourself first... that will tell you everything.  And then remember a few things:  so much of communication is non verbal.  We lose that in technology.  Communication is not just talking, it's listening.  And assimilating.  And projecting.  And integrating.  Listen this week ... Mercury went into retrograde the other day.  Pay attention!!

Episode 27: Communication

Divine Guidance is a real thing. It's the highest octave of listening.  It's following the tune of your heart without concern or consultation of anyone else around you.  Listening to divine guidance and following it are two different things!! So listen in, tune in, and then follow the pulse of your heart.  Tangible action is why you're here. We can listen in all we want but if there's no follow through it makes no difference.  Tangible action makes this life, life.   * * Listen in to me talk about divine guidance and why it's essential to my personal way of living.  Find me on Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

EPISODE 26: DIVINE GUIDANCE

We talk about manifesting .... we manifest this and that and the other thing. But my first question is always, are you consciously manifesting? And then, are you remembering that you can only "manifest" so much without consulting with Divine Order. (It's a real thing) I try and remember that when I am "manifesting"  I am telling the Universe that I know what's up.  That I know everything. The Universe likes specifics and speed, yes.  But it also likes humility.  Remember you are not in control of anything except your reaction.  So when "manifesting" remember instead that you are in co-creation. Listen to me talk a bit about co-creating with the Universe.  This life is Divine, you're not in charge.  Find me on Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 25: Co-Creation

Harmony or balance?  Balance is when we strive toward creating a sense of equality. Harmony on the other hand is a resonance of energy.  A resonance of vibrational frequency.  When we can tune into our inner frequency and recalibrate at a deep level, we can find inner harmony anything we want.   Just one breath is all it takes.  Since we are ever evolving beings, we are always recalibrating to a new level of being.  We are always searching for that inner harmonic resonance.  Even in times of chaos, inner harmony is possible.  It's like being content even when things are challenging  - finding peaceful moments amidst stressful situations.  And responding instead of reacting because our inner compass is set at harmonic resonance with the Universe.   Listen in - Find me on Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 24: Harmony

W I S D O M … the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.  Okay, I can subscribe to that. I also believe we are born with wisdom.  We come into this world KNOWING what’s up.  Understanding, on a cellular level, how to function.  I mean the body we are born with, this vessel, is a living, breathing miracle.  And kids in school aren’t even taught anatomy until late middle school.  That’s ridiculous. About eight years ago, I had this dream of creating the Wisdom School.  A school were we share wisdom with children that pretty much emulates all the things I share in yoga teacher training:  pranayam, asana, chakra study, singing, arts, astrology, environmentalism …. And I didn’t do it because well, it goes against the “norm”. It was too much of an uphill battle at the time.  So I’ve done my best instead, to share what I know to be true with the little (not so little now) beings that share space with me every day. Why aren’t we validated on our wisdom?  That’s always intrigued me.  Why don’t we value the wisdom of our elders?  So infuriating. Why aren’t we listening to the wisdom of the trees? The ocean?  The Earth? For me personally, wisdom comes from knowledge, experience, outside projections, (yes), and intuition.  We must tap into what is real for us based on how we FEEL in our body.  This is our wisdom. Listen to me talk about WISDOM.  Lots coming up in 2020 lovelies. I’ve been kind of quiet for a reason.  I’m tapping into the quiet and reformulating … using my wisdom to take the next step.  Invaluable.  Find me on Instagram and Facebook at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 22: Wisdom

What does it mean to be liberated from the past? From your patterns?  From thoughts?   From outdated paradigms and expectations that you have for yourself? How does it feel when something that used to trigger you, rolls off your back or passes you by completely, without you even noticing?  Liberating perhaps?   Yes, liberating.  I recorded this one on Thanksgiving Day around 4:00pm. My lovely daughters go and visit their father every single year for this holiday.  The first few years I would get so sad.  Being alone used to be a challenging thing for me.  It meant failure.  It meant unable to be in relationship. It meant so many things according to societal standards.  Now I know it means quiet time.  Time for Self (with a capital S).  And time to truly go inward even if it IS a holiday.  I liberated myself years ago from the expectations that I placed on my own self, and redefined what these holidays mean, and what being alone truly does for me.   What are some patterns YOU experience that no longer serve you?  What are some expectations that you have of yourself that are no longer necessary?  Listen to me talk about my thoughts on L I B E R A T I O N.  Find me on Instagram and Facebook at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 21: Liberation

To be resonant with another vibrating field around you.  What’s interesting to me with this is that, we ARE a vibrating field.  The field starts at our heart, that’s the pulse, the spanda that starts it all, and then we vibrate outward from there.  AND everyone else you encounter is also a vibrating field.  AND not only that but every living thing has it’s own vibrating field.  AND if that’s not enough, Mother Earth has Her own vibrating field that starts at her core as well.  Listen to me discuss all the ways we resonate with what is real, true and right for our soul.  Find me on Instagram and Facebook at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

EPISODE 20: Resonance

Passion is underrated; it’s replaced too often by obligations, responsibilities and stagnation. It’s pushed to the side in exchange for a perception of safety.  Let me say this:  safety is an illusion; passion is real.  It’s also seen as something that we find outside of ourselves.  I believe that sometimes, as spiritual beings living a human experience, we forget that we have the ability to experience a passion for this life all on our own. And sometimes we need that erotic, primal, animalistic instinct to push us forward. I have had the privilege to experience a complacent life, disillusioned by what I would have called mundane, unable to find passion in anything at all.  And I have tasted that primal knowing of ecstatic bliss in one moment, in one breath and in a heated exchange of love and intimate connection.  A connection beyond explanation, beyond reasoning, and resting only in an intuitive ignition of two souls coming together in union.

Episode 19: Passion

What if E M P T I N E S S was exactly the medicine we needed to connect deeper to our Source?  What if in that stillness we were able to pause and allow Divine Intelligence to move through us?  We’re so busy trying to figure things out, that we don’t give “it” time to breathe. And “it” is the Divine. From what I have experienced, the Divine does not show up on a spreadsheet, or a some sort of outline with goals and projections.  The Divine shows up in the emptiness. In the stillness of your breath. In the pause in between breaths. In those moments when you have a choice. In the nothing, in the vast expansion of the Universe, in the emptiness, we can hear it all.  Listen to me talk about emptiness. Emptiness holds all the Divine secrets that will lead us to truth.  Find me on Instagram and Facebook at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 18: Emptiness

Patience. What a virtue … and … it’s a pathway to the Divine. It is the key to soulful living. Patience is the recipe for truth, freedom and love. We sit and we wait; we wait for the breath of the Divine to guide us into our truth, and our purpose and we have patience as we observe our life and all the amazingness that happens as we move through each connection, each struggle, each embrace and each disappointment. We have patience and when it’s right and it’s time .. we know. That’s all … we just know. Listen to me talk about patience. Patience is the pause in between the inhale and exhale that holds everything.  Find me on Instagram and Facebook at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 17: Patience

Listen to me talk about my most transformative work:  intimate relationship and parenting.  I can sit in a room, full of yogis seeking transformation, and not bat an eye. I can do that all day, every day.  But put me in the seat of intimate relationship with a potential Divine partner, and I go into deep patterning. Conscious parenting - ah, thank Goddess I've caught myself there.  I get tired and overwhelmed because I'm consistently observing and transforming the "HOW" so I can be a "higher octave" of mySelf.  Intimate relationship with a Divine partner and showing up as a conscious parent are truly, the two most powerful desires of my entire life.  It takes work ... every, single day. I've been able to transform many patterns, but tendrils still show up as residual and with this practice, I am able to transform them with love, breath, and compassion.   The yoga practice .... looks easy, and yes it is ... on the surface.  But my question for you is what is beneath the surface of your patterns?  And why are you still running them? How are they serving you?  So I'm asking you - what is your most powerful work right now?  What is it that you want to transform right now. Because nothing matters before this moment anyway ... it's all happening now.  What is it for you ... I want to know.  Find me on Instagram and Facebook at @danadamaraevolution and at my website www.danadamara.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dana-damara/support

Episode 16: Transformation

You are not broken. You do not need to be fixed. There is nothing wrong with you. You are in a constant state of evolution. So when you transform and shift, it's only because you are evolving into a new version of yourSelf, with a capital S.
