when the light shines through
When the light comes through the shades in my yoga space, I know that I’m toward the end of my practice. It’s a good metaphor for my state of mind too, where light is the clarity and calm state of being.
Stress (with too much adrenaline and/or cortisol) can be a silent underlying cause of bigger problems with the mind, body and beyond.
If stress becomes chronic it can shut down feelings—the opposite of heart-opening, and it can negatively impact other hormones such as pregnenolone (a.k.a. “pregnenolone steal”) thereby shifting hormone balance creating more cortisol rather than DHEA, estrogen, testosterone, etc.
