In this episode of ‘ask Dorothy, we examine how life can be sacred, how it can feel special and hopeful ~ and how you can live your daily habits and routines as the most beautiful moments ~ enjoyed purely. Patterns of thinking, beliefs, assumptions, and the daily habits of the mind and body that keep us far removed from the precious experiences of our life and the way in which life reveals how perfect each moment truly is and how we can witness this purity with an open heart. If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out my series on the Niyamas: Saucha, Santosha, Tapas, Svadhyaya, and Ishvara Pranidhana. Sending you great love... Dorothy
