I love bliss.

Still glowing and high on love from my blissful week with Blissologist Eoin Finn at 889.

‘How could I NOT feel better from practicing yoga five days in a row,’ I thought when I began at 6:30am on the Monday morning?! What I didn’t realize is that over and above feeling ‘better’ I would feel this upward spiral cultivated in my heart and flowing out to others, I would have significantly renewed energy and zest, and that I really would experience my body and myself through a different lens for the week.

Thank you Eoin. You are a true yogi through and through. And your heart is just bursting with love; this is what I love most about you. Readers - he walks around and just hugs people. It’s amazing and so nourishing!

Five days of bliss yoga and bliss commitments had me really savouring my hugs, and had me in the kitchen whipping up quinoa salad with fresh kale, swish chard, sweet potatoes, beets, green onions, coconut oil and pumpkin seeds (Joyous Health, are you proud?). It had me mesmerized by the desolate trees in my ravine, appreciating their dormancy and hibernation in preparation for spring. It had me fixated on the beauty and contrast between my dog’s black, black fur and the white falling snow in the early morning sun. It had me feel gratitude for people I wouldn’t usually find myself being grateful for, waking up energized to start my day, and laying to rest with a full, shining open heart.

He promised that we would all feel an inner vibrancy. What better feeling than inner vibrancy?

Eoin’s premise really is so simple. It’s that through yoga, meditation practice, nature appreciation, food awareness and gratitude, we can create an upward spiral in our lives which keeps spinning upwards and upwards, cultivating more and more goodness, and more and more positivity in the world. This spiral is housed within ourselves and through ourselves, we can spread positivity and goodness throughout the universe. It sounds so basic, and when focused on for just a few days, it really has lift me up and brightened my spirit, even now, 10 days later.
