Manifesto for Living and Creating ❤️‍🔥

Self-care is everything. 🌿
If I’m not taking care of myself, I cannot truly care for anyone or anything else. When I am well and well-resourced, everything around me receives that wellness in return.

My gut, my heart, my ancestors, my spirit guides, and nature are my wisest teachers. 🌕
When I take time to be still and listen, the answers always come.

See beauty everywhere. 🌸
Even in the shadows. Even in the dark and uncertain places. There is beauty there too.

Feel it all. 💧
Every sensation, emotion, and thought carries a message. Take time to feel it all, no matter what arises. I have the tools to care for myself, even when it feels difficult.

Honor the call to create. 🎨
Make time for one creative act each day. Creativity takes many forms—writing, painting, cooking, dressing, decorating. Keep an open mind to what creativity means for me today.

Walk often. 🚶‍♀️
Take long walks outside. There is nothing more healing and affirming than walking surrounded by beauty— noticing the sky, the plants, the houses, the gardens, my own body in motion. Be present with it all.

Care for the body as a sacred temple. 🕊️
Devote time each day to keep my body strong and supple. I promise to treat my aging body with tenderness and reverence.

Create in service, not for self. 🌍
All that I create and share with the world is done in solidarity with all beings, with the intention to serve the greater good.

Be present with others. 🤝
When I’m with someone, I look them in the eye. I put away distractions. I honor their presence with my full attention.

Offer kindness to strangers. 💞
Meet their eyes. Acknowledge their presence and their humanity with a simple gesture of compassion.

Meditate often. 🧘‍♀️
I meditate because it works—and because it’s necessary. Meditation is the path of knowing myself wholly, of remembering what it means to be human, and of feeling held in love, kindness, and compassion by the ever-loving universe.

Embrace both awareness and rest. ☯️
There are times to be vigilant and awake to the truth, and times to rest in unknowing—to be blissfully unaware of the world’s noise. Find balance. Embrace both.

Remember: I am not a project to be fixed. 🌼
I am a flawed, imperfect human being—as is everyone I meet. I give myself and others the grace we all deserve.

Acknowledge the shadow within. 🎭
Hatred, fear, and anger exist within me. That is part of being human. What matters is how I meet these emotions—with awareness, care, and non-harm toward myself and others.

When anxiety arises, return to the body. 🌬️
Feel the ground beneath my feet. Place a hand on my heart. Feel it beating. Feel my breath rising and falling. This simple noticing reminds me that in this moment, I am safe. All is well.

Simplify. 🍃
Stop complaining about money. Stop buying what isn’t needed. Save for future adventures. I already have everything I need—a roof, nourishment, and the resources to thrive.

Soothe my own storms. 🌊
Instead of venting outward, calm the waves within using the tools I know—grounding, breath, embodied presence, and self-compassion.

Redefine success. 💫
Success is not measured by money, followers, or numbers. It is measured by connection—by touching another life authentically, by helping someone see a hidden truth within themselves through my own vulnerability.

Honor the value of my work. 🔥
My writing, creating, and meditating hold deep value because they serve the greater good. I do this work because I know it heals, and it matters.

Accept impermanence. 🍂
Nothing lasts forever. Loss is inevitable, and grief is the proof of love. The ache of absence means I have loved deeply. Love is boundless, infinite, and eternal—and I can still love my departed ones across realms.

Remember my essence. ✨
I am a radiant, boundless being of light and vibration—guided by love, compassion, trust, and faith.

Surrender daily. 🌺
Offer my fears, worries, and grievances into the loving care of the Great Mother. Trust her to hold and transform them.

Remember the ripples. ⛲
Every thought, word, and action sends waves into the world—like a pebble dropped in still water. May my ripples be mindful, loving, and wise.

What is Prana? Excerpt from Light on Pranayama, The Art of Yogic Breathing by BKS Iyengar

“Prana is the energy permeating the universe at all levels.  It is physical, mental, intellectual, sexual, spiritual and cosmic energy.  All vibrating energies are prana.  All physical energies, such as heat, light, gravity, magnetism and electricity are also prana.  It is the hidden or potential energy in all beings, released to the fullest extent in times of danger.  It is the prime mover of all activity.  It is energy which creates, protects and destroys.  Vigor, power, vitality, life and spirit are all forms of prana.”

“… prana is the principle of life and consciousness.  It is equated with the real Self (Atma).  Prana is the breath of life of all beings in the universe.  They are born through it and live by it, and when they die their individual breath dissolves into the cosmic breath.  Prana is the hub of the Wheel of Life.”

Planet Prana acknowledges and exists within these principles.
