up2us movement

It is UP2US to become the best versions of ourselves…

  • This starts by having solid rising & night time rituals.

    Remember… it is UP2US to create the time, space & devotion to do so.

Here are some pro tips for you

  • First find a quiet spot in nature or in your house to do your practice.

    Light a candle or incense to create a sacred space.

    If you are able to be in nature, take your shoes off & ground yourself into the Earth.

    Tune in with gratitude

    — who is 1 person you are grateful for

    — what is 1 thing you’re grateful for

    — what is 1 place you are grateful for?

    Benefits of Breath:

    Destress to lower cortisol levels, release anxiety and depression. This teaches you how to deal with difficult emotions and master your impulses.

    How does breathwork destress you?

    Stress is your body's reaction to an external experience, something that you feel you have no power over or control. When your body is in a state ofstress it releases cortisol into the bloodstream which speeds up your heart beat.

    A more rapid heart beat makes you breathe shallow, the muscles get tense and the blood pressure rises, the blood in your body is sent to your extremities so that you can take emergency action.

  • Grounding is one of the most important things you can learn how to do. Being connected to mother Gaia allows you to release or neutralize trapped emotions.

    Bring in antioxidants through your feet, and as the mystics would say, bring your soul back into the body so that you can be present with life.

    In Western culture, I recommend we practice pyramid pose, or sphinx pose, which means your feet are firmly planted on the ground while sitting on a chair. This will allow us to bring energy from the Earth up through our legs and we can utilize different styles of grounding chords depending upon the moment and how we're feeling to connect our energetic root to the Earth.

    The more grounded that we are, the higher we can raise our vibration and connect to our soul's signature.

  • Sit in silence for at least 5-10 mins daily

    Repeat mantra: I am here now in this
