Ep. 26: 20 Hours of Summer: My Threefold Mantra for Everyday Peace of Mind

Marisa shares personal reflections from a 20-hour vacation to Lake Tahoe and introduces her threefold mantra for achieving everyday peace of mind. Spiritual Mantra Marisa presents her "threefold magic mantra" derived from aha moments during a recent asana practice in the redwoods.  1. Find your own flow: Seek a state of "samadhi" or absorption where time falls away. Marisa suggests that focusing on personal passions and dharma prevents one from meddling in others' affairs. 2. Be a connector Embody the essence of yoga by bridging gaps and bringing people together rather than creating cliques or scarcity mindsets. She emphasizes accepting invitations and celebrating the successes of others, even competitors. 3. Keep your heart open: Drawing from Michael Singer’s book, The Untethered Soul, she advises against closing the heart during hardship. Staying open is a continuous practice of letting go and releasing tension to maintain inner joy.   Upcoming Events Marisa outlines several upcoming opportunities for community engagement and retreats: * September 20th, 2026: A day-long women's retreat for business owners at Kalla in Calistoga. * October 4th, 2026: A day-long retreat at Paradise Healing Retreat in Lagunitas, focusing on "yogic vitamins" and dharma alignment. * April 24th, 2027: A seven-night vinyasa yoga retreat at Haramara in Sayulita, Mexico, featuring workshops, community circles, and various outdoor activities.
