Tara is a wonderful soul, and cherished friend. Today we get a peek into her life!
Tara: Born in San Diego, my family moved to the Bay Area when I was a teenager. I grew up with a love for sports and spent my high school years training in Taekwondo. I received a First Degree Black Belt through the American Taekwondo Association and Instructor certification before the age of 18. College is where I took my first yoga class 16 years ago and dived into Eastern philosophy and meditation. After college I engaged in a marketing and events career and took weekends to train at Yoga Tree in San Francisco, earning my yoga teacher certification in the summer of 2016. Soon after that I moved to Portland and gave birth to a free-spirited boy, he continues to be my source of purpose and inspiration. Using my events background, I teach in-person classes, immersions, and workshops in the Portland metro area, as well curated location-based retreats around the world.My passion lies in the depth of the yogic tradition and how to thread ancient philosophy and movement with the modern science of psychology and physiology. I am currently pursuing my second undergraduate degree in psychology and plan to apply it towards a doctorate in neuroscience at OHSU.
Notice: We mention "Kove Yoga" in this episode, we recorded this episode before the closing of Kove Yoga. Kove Yoga Studio is now closed, but you can find Tara at

In this episode we talk about the timing of magic and when to use it. We speak on the effects of subconcious magic vs concious magic, and the benefits of bringing concious actions in alignment with our individual magical abailities (how many times can I say magic?).

I'm back! It's been a long break, but I'm happy to return to this podcast <3.
In this episode I explain why I took my break, and what I've learned along the way. To find myself required a time of hibernation, and I'm joyful to emerge with the wisdom that comes from reflection. This personal episode shows a part of me that I haven't really shared on this podcast, but am excited to share now. Thank you for your patience. This podcast also includes a short meditation where we invite spirituality into our sensuality (our senses)If you want to support this podcast, please do one kind act :).

Crystals are apart of the earth element. While we can hear the sound of rushing rivers, crackling fire, and whispering winds we often don't get the opportunity to listen to earth itself. Crystal bowls are a beautiful way to hear the song of stones and minerals, and in today's episode we get to do just that! While this episode feels otherworldly, it is designed to be grounding and graceful.

In this meditation we discover how the moon-rays help us resonate with our feelings, and how the setting of the moon can also set within us a state of peace. This meditation focuses on the visual + kinesthetic feeling of moon-rays, and encourages the acceptance of the emotions that mother moon helps facilitate.

Have you ever been walking in the rain, lost in thought, and suddenly a raindrop splashes across the face? This sensation often jolts us into a sense of presence. Within this meditation we explore the sensitivity of the face by placing droplets of water on the face, and turning inwards to explore the sensations that arise from anointing ourselves with the water element.

This week we meditate on how the element of air influences our being. We start by intuitively breathing, then discover the associations of the zodiac and how the air element is represented within Air signs. We end this practice by mindfully breathing into specific areas of our body to balance the mind and body.

Today we meditate together using a candle. As we stare into the flame we find the symbology behind candles. As we gain wisdom from staring into the flame, we begin to understand our own internal flame as well. By having an external reference for internal flame (sacral + solar plexus), we are able to see ourselves in a new light.

Today at Native Awakenings, we talk about 3 different ways to meditate. Our first topic deals with concentration, and how harnessing our concentration can lead to manifestation. Our second topic deals with receptivity, and how the expansion of our awareness can help inspire internal creativity. Lastly we talk about withdrawal of the sense, this type of meditation teaches us how to channel/astral project. At the end we do a short (20 seconds) practice of each of these styles of meditation.

In this episode we embody the vibration of self-acceptance and love, so that we can lead our ancestors to accept this practice as well. We can be teachers to them, as often we judge our mistakes (they do as well). As they see us accept ourselves as we are, it shines a light to release self-judgement for the mistakes that they have made (and trauma that they have undergone). While we call on the ancestors to teach us new things, they call on us to heal the old. This practice helps exchange mutual respect and reverence to the ancestors.

In this episode we explore the technique of remote viewing! By meditating on places that we have been before, we begin to familiarize ourselves with the subconscious images that we store within the consciousness. The more familiar we become with viewing a place that we have been before, the more confidence develops at viewing places that we have never been.

In this episode we first connect to our body by scanning our vessel and relaxing it. We then breathe in certain emotions, and exhale them into the earth as fertilizer. We are never alone, and by connecting our emotions we find companionship with mother nature.
