​How do we
courageously & skillfully
enter the inner world, transform, then bring our gifts and talents to the outer world?

 “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
~ A Course In Miracles 

"Fear and euphoria are dominant forces, and fear is many multiples the size of euphoria. Bubbles go up very slowly as euphoria builds. Then fear hits, and it comes down very sharply. When I started to look at that, I was sort of intellectually shocked. Contagion is a critical phenomenon which causes the thing to fall apart."
~ Alan Greenspan
Chair of the Federal Reserve
1987-2006

"In truth, the gift of life must be recognized and never taken for granted. Why is life so precious? 
In Siddha Yoga,
​we recognize in this human life we have a rare opportunity.  We can transform an ordinary perception of this universe into an extraordinary vision. 
To be on the planet and to behold the universe from the divine perspective is a sign of an illuminated heart. 
To put this vision to best use in the best way possible is a human’s highest duty. "
~ Gurumayi   


"Your calling is to be here.
There is no higher mission,
​for each of us is a gateway that can
open to allow the Beloved
to step through.
To give expression to the Beloved, to be that gateway,
​is why the universe appeared.
It is the

​ultimate Call."
~ David Spangler

Presence Wisdom is rooted in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) research-based curriculum for stress and pain management.  During the 8-week program, the mind develops and a wise relationship with the body is cultivated. No longer suffering, we begin to embody Mindful Living skills.  Practices keep them fresh and fertile. Our capacity to awaken and thrive is limitless. As the garden of our lives begin to reflect skillful tilling of the soil of mind, body, and heart we experience the fruit MindBodyBeing Integration.  New passionate vistas of possibilities open before us as our perspective  widens and knowledge of interconnectedness becomes the root of Life.

Vessel Yoga activates inner alchemy uniting the individual with the Universal.  Through Mindful means we develop a relationship with the causal plane.  This infuses the subtle and physical bodies with the nectar of transformation.  ​With conscious aspiration, right attitude, renewed mind, and wise heart, the body is initiated as the Temple of the Holy Spirit.  While the individual remains in the world, identity is no longer of the world. As grounding of Being occurs, Presence Wisdom now fuels the vessel opening new doorways into the inner world.  The new identity as a Divine Manifestation settles into the body.  Life becomes skillful and immensely satisfying.  We are no longer bound by the past or limiting beliefs or conditions.

Sri Aurobindo
"The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is ... to effect a spiritual transformation ...  bring down the divine Ananda - Christ's kingdom of heaven, Satyayuga - upon the earth." 
         ~ Sri Aurobindo

"Think like a queen.
A queen is not afraid
​to fail.
Failure is another stepping stone to greatness." 

~ Oprah Winfrey

Practices point the way ... ​Only you can take the journey.

Stress manifests as:
Fight - usually with ourselves but can be with others.  Judge, blame, ...
Flight - abandonment of self.  Looking outside to existing systems and people.  Avoiding turning inwards. 
Endless reading, streaming, substances, avoidance...
Frozen - stuck in old worn out patterns. Not good enough. Can't find a way out of the rut. 

First, we must renew Mind.
Mind is conscious regulation, not content!!
Activating Mind changes the brain circuits & body information.
We shed masks and transform stress. 
Become authentic,
a one of a kind human vessel.
An individual anchored inside ... grounded to Earth.
Activation of the Sacred Heart comes as we prepare a place inside the Vessel.
The Universal Guidance system activates bringing 
conscious interconnected
relationship into Form.
The marriage of matter & spirit.
Divine Union
Individual & Universal yoked in Service.  

Peace in our own lives creates Peace on Earth.
​
​"We cannot solve our problems with the thinking we used when we created them."
​~ Albert Einstein

  Inner Mastery is authentic relaxed wise action that is not limited by what is in form.
It is a sustained alert state of Rest regardless of outer circumstances.
We dwell in the hub of all possibilities, conscious of the manifest and unmanifest worlds,
willing to act or not act with right timing.


Functioning with integration is a requirement for all leaders at home or work. 
We must lead our own lives regardless of the setting or responsiblities.

Leadership experts now cite Self Realization and Inner Mastery as essential for leaders to
prevent burnout 
and thrive as unpredictability is embraced during volatile times.
​
Mindful Living is the renewed mind in conscious relationship with the seen and unseen worlds.
When right conditions prevails Inner Mastery naturally develops.
Inner Mastery is the Fruit of the practice.
Bringing opposites into Union.
​Yoga.

For 28 years as owner and director of Mindful Living Studio (MLS)
I've offered education & training in academic, corporate wellness, community settings, and Mindful Living Studio.  I serve groups and private clients who are curious about the inner world, ready to develop the mind, and engage the body in a friendly manner for LifeTime Satisfaction.  Before becoming an entrepreneur, I held executive leadership positions as I simultaneously studied the paths of Yoga and other holistic healing arts.  I received initiations into mystery paths.  N
euroscience and quantum physics nourish my endless curiosity and help explain what I experience. 

Observing people awaken as they discover how to get out of pain, find hope & tap the power of faith is my passion. 
 As a sensitive and intuitive I perceive multidimensionally.  We all can.  My unique talent is quickly detecting what's out of balance and discerning a skillful way forward that mindfully integrates mind, body and being.  


I created MLS to offer an enlightened empowered life perspective for anyone ready and willing to pursue balance by changing what isn't working.  MLS Global expands outreach providing self-paced e-Courses and Retreat Immersions that accelerate development and spiritual awakening for embodiment of LifeTime Satisfaction. 
 
​​I live what I teach.  It is a practice.  I get up when life knocks me down.  Resilience develops through mindful living.  Life is bold, sweet and inspiring as I'm rising to a new level of service as I cruise towards age 70!  Not bad for a high school dropout, single mom on government assistance, & cancer survivor, who became curious about how people change their lives and thrive. 

Formal education brought honors followed by a graduate degree.  Along the way I discovered Yoga, a range of Holistic Healing Arts, and studied with indigenous medicine teachers.  As an education and training professional I served in military and civilian settings.  In 2012, I retired from teaching in academia where I designed and taught Mindful Living for Inner Mastery. 

Mindful Living skills provide access to inner resources, we learn how to climb out of life pits, avoid burnout, create meaningful lives of purpose, thrive with health, passionate vision, and embody enjoyment.  As an earth sculptress I create teaching gardens.  My life is my art.  I'm a world traveler as the great mystery muse directs my steps to places near and far.  I am married with two children, three grandchildren, three great grands, and hang out with three spoiled cats and a school of gold fish.   


My life journey nourishes my thirst for knowledge through ancient wisdom teachings and quantum physics.  Integral Yoga and other mystical teachings offer a time-proven path to cultivate life skills and spiritual awakening.  These practices rapidly reshape the brain, rewire the nervous system, awaken the energy body, and more.  It's an exciting time as more individuals feel the call to embrace the realm of all possibilities with a noble heart, steady mind, and balanced Vessel.  We can transform ourselves and the world.  It is a choice and a process.    

Vessel Yoga is a culmination of my studies and many years of practices that support human awakening to tap fullness of our Divine potential with enjoyment and ease.  I have received initiations to carry these teachings.  I am continually humbled by the bestowal of this honor.  I am founding Ambassador for Take Back The Garden (TBTG), a conscious business initiative provides programs to reclaim balance in individuals, the human family, and all relations.  Funded by MLS Global profits and scholarship campaigns, TBTG is an experiment in conscious business inviting the human family to come together to free us from limiting beliefs while cultivating balance.   more
