Summary
Every long life eventually arrives at a quiet question, underneath everything I have done, who have I actually become? This is for the person who has been busy proving and performing, and is finally ready to slow down and remember. teZa Lord offers a gentle, reflective conversation about the essence that has been with you all along, and simple ways to return to it on an ordinary, noisy day. About the Guest: teZa Lord is an author, artist, and lifelong yogi and meditator. Her nonfiction books include one drawn from teaching yoga to incarcerated teen girls, and her work explores oneness, consciousness, and the inner life. Key Takeaways: The essence you are seeking is not new, it has been there since childhood, waiting for you to slow down. The breath is a bridge between the human and the eternal, even a few conscious breaths can shift your state. Soulful living comes down to choice, how you begin your morning quietly sets the tone for the day. On the loud days, return to something simple, a walk in nature, your breath, food made with intention. What annoys you in others often mirrors something in you worth reflecting on.
