Happy Buddha birth, enlightment and death full moon! In this special Buddha Purnima episode we explore the heart of Buddhism through its two eyes: wisdom and compassion. Discover practical ways to cultivate these essential qualities in your daily life. We delve into the profound concepts of true refuge and false refuge, unravel the notion of not-self, and reflect on how these teachings can transform our understanding and experiences.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to Buddhism, this episode offers insights and inspiration for anyone seeking a more compassionate and wise approach to life's challenges.

Aloha Beloveds!
Today’s practice, requested by a listener, (Thank you Andi!) is a Yoga Nidra practice, a deeply restorative technique that begins approximately 17 minutes in.Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," offers a profound journey inward, allowing practitioners to access deeper layers of consciousness beyond the chatter of the mind. In the practice of Yoga Nidra, participants are guided into a state of deep relaxation, where they remain fully conscious yet profoundly relaxed.
As the body settles into a state of ease, the mind begins to quieten, paving the way for a profound exploration of the self. Through gentle guidance, practitioners are invited to cultivate awareness of various sensations, emotions, and thought patterns that arise within their inner landscape.
This heightened awareness serves as a catalyst for self-inquiry and introspection, enabling individuals to explore the layers of conditioning and societal expectations that may veil their true essence. By gently peeling away these layers, Yoga Nidra allows practitioners to reconnect with the core of their being—their authentic self.
In this state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, individuals can transcend the limitations of the ego and tap into their innate wisdom and intuition. It's in this sacred space of inner knowing that one can rediscover their inherent worth, wisdom, and wholeness.
Ultimately, Yoga Nidra serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery and self-realization, offering a pathway for individuals to return to the truth of who they are—beyond the roles they play, the masks they wear, and the stories they tell themselves. Through regular practice, practitioners can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, acceptance, and inner peace, allowing them to navigate life from a place of authenticity and alignment with their true essence.
Tune in and join us as we navigate the depths of the human experience, one breath at a time. I welcome questions, requests and feedback.

Hello and welcome to "Peaceful by Nature." I'm your host, Sage Simpson, and today I'm thrilled to present a deeply personal and insightful conversation with the wonderful Joy Clarissa Taylor. This is a genuine, vulnerable exploration into the realms of grief, femininity, feelings, releasing the grip of over-exercise and under-eating, embodiment, and the profound ways in which awakening happens within and through our bodies.
In this episode, Joy and I delve into the complex terrain of grief, sharing our own stories and experiences with an openness that allows for genuine connection. It's a candid conversation that acknowledges the messiness of life and the beauty found within those moments of vulnerability.
Our journeys have been profoundly transformed by yoga, and we take a moment to share the impact it has had on our lives. From the physical practice to the spiritual and emotional dimensions, we discuss how yoga has become a transformative force.
The concept of embodiment takes center stage in our conversation, and that awakening is in and through the physicality of our being. It's a perspective that encourages a deeper connection with ourselves and a more conscious presence in our daily lives.
We are so excited to invite you to our series of in-home retreats in 2024, Soul Care Sundays. We are providing a supportive community for self-discovery the 3rd Sunday, every other month, Beginning Jan 21st, 2024.

This podcast lays out the Koshas, the layers of self, as a template for self-care.
These are the Koshas:
Annamaya
The annamaya kosha is the physical sheath that composes the outer layer. It’s sometimes referred to as the food sheath.
Your body weight or size can reflect your physical sheath, as well as any physical ailments or concerns you have. You can also pay attention to how your body reacts to different types of food.
The pranamaya kosha is the vital energy, breath, or life force sheath. In Sanskrit, the word “prana” refers to life force and is the word for breath.
Awareness of this kosha allows you to move stagnant energy, so you can experience greater vitality and an energetic connection to yourself, others, and nature.
The manomaya kosha is contained within the annamaya and pranamaya koshas. It acts as a messenger, bringing experiences and sensations from the outer world into your intuitive body.
This is the mental sheath that represents your:
mind emotions inner worldThis layer includes thought forms, mental activity, and awareness of thoughts. Getting in touch with this kosha involves looking at your perceptions and mental patterns.
The vijnanamaya kosha is the astral or psychic body that’s your seat of intuition.
Known as the awareness or wisdom sheath, it allows you to develop a deeper awareness and to see reality for what it is. Thought of as “the mind beyond the mind,” this kosha is connected to your deeper and more subtle layers of thoughts.
The vijnanamaya kosha helps develop clarity and inner reflection as you learn to detach from your thoughts, ego, or sense of self. By remaining the witness, you may learn to become more present and aware of each moment.
The anandamaya kosha is referred to as the bliss body. It’s the deepest and subtlest of all layers — so much so that some people even say you can’t use words to describe it. Instead, it must be felt and experienced.
Developing your anandamaya kosha requires the discipline to complete inner work and spiritual practices over a long period.
This level of consciousness relates to the essence of your true self or nature, which is perfection.
Transcending all five sheaths can lead to a state of samadhi, or unity between individual and universal consciousness. This is said to be pure bliss or joy.
While you may not reach samadhi, you may experience glimpses or moments of bliss that are bright enough to color your world and awaken these feelings of joy, even if only for brief moments.
For this new moon I encourage you to reflect on each layer of the self and set the intention of caring for each in alignment with the cycles of nature, with fall, letting go, softening and surrender.

Podcast May New Moon:
Aloha Beloveds! It’s a NEW MOON in taurus and the first of my 40th orbit around the sun! This is JUST the BREATHING PRACTICE for you this New Moon. This practice will reset your nervous system and clear the clutter in the mind, so that you can return and reside in the divine essence of who you are in your natural being mode, rather than your doing or having mode.
In the FULL EPISODE for first part of the podcast I briefly explain and explore:
~ Human Being vs. Human Doing
~ The Being mode vs. The Having mode: What the difference is, and why cannot meet our Being Needs through the Having Mode, and why it will lead to suffering
~ The Kleshas, or impurities that keep the mind from wakefulness and clear awareness.
Breath, movement, journaling, time in nature, quiet, ritual, meditation, all of these practices clear away the false self and return us to our natural state of Co-Creativity and Peace.
You are creating your reality. The level of your consciousness is where you are creating from. If you are vibrating in the frequency of fear, judgment, shame, restlessness, hoarding or needy-ness, you will manifest things in your world that reflect this back to you. If you are creating from a space of I create because I CAN! And I Choose to, you align with the divine flow of the cosmos, with the Dharma.
I share on this podcast the practices that have transformed my life, upleveled my awareness, and aligned me with the creativity, pleasure and joy that is our birthright.
You deserve to, and you CAN, live in alignment with EASE, PURPOSE and JOY.
This 10 min Breathing Practice can change your life if you dedicate 10 min a day to this practice.
Another practice, that I speak about a lot, is writing.
Being a part of a writers circle TRANSFORMED my life. Through the sacred practice of writing and then being witnessed as I shared the full truth- I continue to liberate more of my authentic expression. Join Joy and I in The Creators Circle so you can Liberate your Authentic Voice, Tap into the Create Genius that wants to flow through you, and be healed and witnessed by heart-centered divine Sisters who are on the path.
We are offering a few first come-first serve SCHOLARSHIPS for 30% or 50% off the Creators Circle.

If you are on Maui this summer, I am thrilled to announce I will be co-facilitating TANTRA & TEA: Sacred Sexuality Summer Workshop Series
All the info is on my Website Here: https://wildsacredcollective.com/registration/tantra
Join Sage and Jeannette for a summer workshop series in Olinda. Our intention is to demystify Sacred Sexuality, Chakras, and Sex Magik, so you can remember and realize the pleasure, peace and radiance that is your birthright.
Through our sexuality and intimacy with life, we each have incredible power to connect with the divinity within and all around us. In connection with one another, held in a sacred loving circle, we can heal the pain, trauma, and stories that are held in the body and heal in communion with one another, nature and source energy.
Each workshop will be dedicated to clearing and balancing one Chakra. Starting with the Root, awakening Kundalini, and raising this potent healing energy through each Chakra. During each session, the group will be guided through practices in a safe and non-judgmental container.

Aloha Beloveds!
Wow- what a wonderful Full Moon Conversation with my dear friend, mentor and Co Creator Joy Clarissa Taylor. You will love how honest, relatable and wise Joy is. She walks the talk and does her homework. What an inspiration. I left this conversation feeling grounded, uplifted, and deeply grateful we are friends and co-facilitators. Joy and I will be co-leading the Creators Circle, an online writing circle for women, which begins May 25th, as well as Clarity, a Women’s Retreat in Mt. Shasta August 3-6, 2023.
Joy and I had such a delightful, deep, juicy, honest and raw conversation.
We dive into:
Feelings and emotions, what they are teaching us
What keeps us from speaking and expressing authentically
How patriarchy, acting/ the 'industry,' and marriage has kept me from my authentic expression
What writing has brought into our lives on a personal level
How our relationships have changed since we started speaking and expressing authentically
Aligning our lives with our highest Values and service
Where our growth edges, or softenings, are in our lives.
I get pretty vulnerable about my relationship with my beloved Andy, my dad, my mom, and my past sexual trauma and eating disorder. I want to reiterate that anything I say about them is in absolute LOVE. I am not a victim and everything I share is from my perspective, which is not the full truth.
At the end Joy shares a poem she wrote for her upcoming book. ( ~ wow ~ )
And I get really spontaneous and share some very un-edited journal writing (as Joy said, it is not the best or the polished).
I will be sharing more of my writing here on the podcast, as well as on my blog at wildsacedcollective.com. And of course you will be hearing a lot more honest and raw creations if you decided to join the Creators Circle.
Since you are a listener of the podcast you get 10% off! When you sign up use promo code: SAGE10 for 10% off, the price of the circle, or if you decide to join us in Mt. Shasta for our Clarity Retreat, you can get 10% off the bundle. That’s the best financial, mental, physical and spiritual deal.

Aloha loves! Here is just the medtation aligning your Heart~Mind with the 7 Factors of Enlightenment. The intention in this practice is to recognize that The Factors of Enlightenment are already inside us all. We do not need to go out and 'get' Enlightenment. An enlightened Heart~Mind is our natural state, non-reactive and at peace. We become what we practice, and so in this meditation we practice the 7 Factors of Enlightenment.
This New Moon Intention setting practice is a powerful and simple one. You are planting the seeds of good Karma-- through honest reflection and aligning with the part of you that is Loving, Kind and Wise. Once we align with this Awakened Heart~Mind, our actions in the world will reflect these intentions. With this meditation you are aligning with Being the Change, and co-creating Peace on Earth.
I begin the practice with the Bodhicitta Prayer:
With a wish to free all beings.
I shall always go for refuge: To the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha,
Until I reach full enlightenment.
Enthused by wisdom and compassion,
today in the Buddhas' presence.
I generate the Heart~Mind for Full Awakening.
For the benefit of all sentient beings.
JOIN ME for the New Circle I am offering with my dear friend Joy Clarissa Taylor! HERE is all the info about the circle, and where you can register!
Please reachout with questions about the Creators Circle. And tell me: How did this practice go? What did you learn when you journaled on the 5 Hinderences? I would also love to hear: What do you want to hear on the podcast? Send along your desires and questions.

Aloha Beloveds!
The first Full Moon Conversation! With my freind, co-creator and teacher, Joy Clarissa Taylor.
I had such a great time in this is a playful, honest and soulful conversation. In this episode Joy and I have a great conversation about:
Soul Friendship and showing up in the full expression of who we are, at our 'best' and our 'worst'
Writing, and how it saved both of our lives while we recovered from addiction (Starting around Min 22) HERE is the link to join the Creators Circle.
Nature and connection with Mother Earth and Quiet, and how it brings clarity into our lives and helps guides our soul inspired life decisions.
And more ~
I talked about the 7 Factors of Enlightment, according to the Buddah. I named the first four of seven. You Can checkout the April New Moon podcast, for more on these 7.
Here is the full list:
Mindfulness (sati) Keen investigation of the dhamma (dhammavicaya) Energy (viriya) Rapture or happiness (piti) Calm (passaddhi) Concentration (samadhi) Equanimity (upekkha)Again, checkout the April New Moon podcast, where I go into more detail of these factors and give you a practice, as well as the hiderences that disturb a peaceful heart~mind HERE. This practice is wonderful for a new moon, or anytime, to reset your compass on what really matters and gives you tools to become more self aware, leading toward self actualiziation and awakening.

Today's peace practice is a conversation between my husband, Andy, and I answering a friend's question about navigating relationships. Rather than wait till the new moon to release a full episode, I wanted to release this one in preparation for the time you may be spending with family or friends during this final breath of 2022. I hope these 13 guidelines and the other tools we share can be of value. Please reach out and let me know what resonates or if you have questions for future episodes.
More about 21 Days of Peace:
As we enter December, many of you are traveling or will have visitors from the past. These may be family members you are traveling to see, many of you will be spending time with your family of origin. Moms, dad, siblings, grandparents, and caregivers. You will be with spouses, partners, children, and children. Each relationship, each interaction, offers you opportunities to learn. Don’t be asleep or go into auto tune-out mode. Return to your body, your breath, to nature, and your true nature. Return to Peace, reflect from Love, and act in alignment with Truth.
Or you won't be physically with a lot of people, but you will not be alone. This time of the year will bring you into communion with people from your past, or your imagined/ visioned future. All of these are ripe with opportunities for experiential learning.
You can alchemize, transform, any experience into one that brings you greater Peace. From this foundation of peace, all of lifes' experiences can be fully felt, in an unattached way, from the space of unconditionally loving, in flow and joy.
These 2-10 min practices include Seated and Standing Meditation, Contemplation, Creative Expression, Visualization, Conversation and Circle, and Rituals for your Winter Solstice Season

Today’s peace practice is to Make a Plan. As you enter into visiting family, friends, traveling, hosting, or being alone, it’s important to make a plan. Plan when and how you will Devote time every day to return to Truth and Love, to come home to yourself. You will be able to navigate relationships and all that arises at the end of the year if you intentionally come back home to your Values everyday.
