Summary

We are on the cusp of a major life transition. We can choose to stray away from ourselves, or we can make decisions that put us in alignment with our soul’s true calling. But how can we know what that calling is? In today’s episode, Rachel reflects on the times in her life when she felt actual peace and genuine happiness. She realizes that all of those times have a common thread - they were the times she was able to slow down and come back, again and again, to yoga, to baking, to gardening, to the things that brought her into the present moment. As we have been socially isolating for the past few weeks, many of us have been able to return to the things we enjoy most, and it is sparking a world-wide epiphany. What was keeping us from doing what we enjoy in the first place? Was it a drive for success? For wealth? For social standing? Were we trying to ease the feeling of not being safe in our own skin? Whatever is holding you back from the life you are destined to live, now is the time to release it. Tune into today’s episode to make your peace of mind a priority, to put the ‘being’ back into the ‘doing’, and to connect with your intuition before you act. Maybe the true adventure is presence - and maybe the answers to our questions will come if we are quiet enough to listen for them.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Yoga Girl podcast. I am so happy that you're here tuned in wherever you are right now.
0:10.9	I hope you are okay. Today is day 43 of lockdown for us over here in a rubour for me,
0:18.4	Deniz and Lea Luna. We are definitely reaching a point in this pandemic where I am starting to feel
0:24.7	like maybe things are going to become a little bit lighter soon. I don't know if if that's the
0:31.4	general feeling everywhere in the world but at least where we are here now, we succeeded, I think,
0:37.9	in what they called flattening the curve. So we were reaching about 100 cases of confirmed corona
0:44.8	cases here on the island, which you know for a tiny little island but only one hospital and not a
0:49.5	lot of resources was a lot. And then we've reached this place now where no new people seem to be
0:56.1	getting infected anymore and every day the numbers just drop because people are recovering.
1:00.7	So right now there's only 20 something cases, active cases of coronavirus in a rubour.
1:06.4	So for the first time now in almost two months the government eased up a little bit on regulations.
1:12.4	So we have a curfew we're not supposed to be outside after six o'clock. It was nine o'clock and
1:18.8	now they moved it to six o'clock or was it 10 o'clock and they moved it to something o'clock. I
1:23.0	I'm home all the time. Like I'm out and about at night you know but they changed it. They eased up
1:29.6	a little bit with the curfew so we're allowed to be outside like an hour or two more every day which
1:35.5	says something right it's moving in that direction of things easing up. So I am really over here right
1:41.1	now contemplating so many things. First of all if things ease up now and regulations become
1:47.7	more and more you know gentle and softer and we're allowed to be out and about and things start
1:51.6	opening up again we'll be able to open island yoga again. You know doesn't that technically sort of
1:57.6	mean that that we all risk just getting infected again. I have such a hard time kind of knowing
2:05.2	how to feel about this because the chances of of coronavirus being completely eradicated like a
2:11.8	hundred percent gone from our entire country I think is very low right because many people are a
