In 2015, Marcus and I walked almost 500 miles across Spain on El Camino de Santiago. When inspiration calls, I hope you answer. Our camino journey was filled with powerful experiences of joy, laughter, connection, empowerment, and spirituality (and of course some other horrific things that we will talk and laugh about now). In this episode we tell the story of what inspired both of us to go on the camino and what we learned from the experience. Both Marcus and I got a clear message about what really matters in life.

Welcome to my first short, solo episode. Today I share what I am doing today, during quarantine, as my meditation practice. I have been practicing meditation for years and I love it. I have tried many different types, but I love Vipassana. Meditation is a powerful invitation to ourselves – to become more aware of and connected to ourselves. There are many tools for meditation. This episode is meant to inspire you to begin a meditation practice, if you desire to. I am not a perfect meditating expert, but I do have a meditation practice that has been consistent for years. I invite you to start a practice, and connect more deeply with the most important person in your life – you.

As a ‘Flow Facilitator’, Brenda Loukes-Johnson helps people to move through life with more creativity, flow and ease, and ultimately, more love. She is passionate about teaching people to become their own ‘energy-maker’, ‘creative solution-finder’ and ‘flow facilitator’, so that they can give out more to the world where they are needed, from a full and wholehearted place. As a lomi lomi massage therapist, creativity coach and accomplished artist, she understands the link between the mind, the body and innate creativity (note: innate creativity has nothing to do with artistic talent!). Brenda knows how stress and fear affect the nervous system and shut down flow in the body, and that connecting to our bodies is the most healing thing we can do for ourselves. She creates beauty-filled, calming opportunities online and in-person, where people can experience what it is like to ‘come home to themselves’ and ‘find their flow”, so that they can feel healthier and stronger in their bodies and minds, and navigate life’s challenges with more calm, ease, flow and self-acceptance. She is a recovering perfectionist who has discovered what peace there is in ‘letting go and going with the flow’.
