Hello dear love,
I’m back in NYC after a transformative and very important trip to Nepal and India, 25 days of soul scrubbing. Ill be sharing a lot about my journey as I continue to integrate and bring all the learnings and tools into my work and community. ✨
Today, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year that’s just past. Last January I moved back to nyc. I learned the need to celebrate my success, my falls and lessons, as a very important piece to the healing journey. This year broke me, healed me and empowered me, in a cycle that keeps on turning. ✨
I am living my dream of sharing the Dharma and helping people find their own unique way back into their hearts. I continue to heal and find this inner strength to share what I learn with people, daily here, with my clients, at workshops and retreats. 
I am not going to lie this is a hard path. This morning actually, I sat on my meditation cushion for 1 hr 40 min feeling this deep sense of sadness, this sense of interdependence and connection we share. It’s heavy coming back and walking out into the rain for coffee and such. I prayed, I chanted, I spoke to my Sangha. And here I am. ✨
I remember the lessons from my trip, meditating in holy caves in the Himalayas, Tantric Buddhist initiations, conversations with my teachers and tribe, as I slowly come back. I remember the intricate joy of service even through the heavy times, it reminds of my courage, of how far I’ve come to be here and creatively sharing my path while helping others. ✨

Teacher student teacher student, an infinite cycle. 
Last year one of many dreams came true, i lead 3 incredible retreats, @maharosenyc @maharosesouth and @kripalucenter 
I said many no’s and many yes’s.
And this morning I said yes again. 
Let’s do this together my love, there is truly no other way. Let’s relate, let’s grow, let’s see each other in one another. Let’s stop hiding, this is not a dress rehearsal, this is your very precious life. We are meant to be here and we need one another. 
My next one is Jan 30-Feb 5 in Mexico. Come with us? Have a look at the link in my bio. Or dm me. ✨ 
Remember in the midst of it all, who’s still here? YOU.
This was the first day of our trip all together. Jackie and Ian had arrived late the night before. Alexandra, Sah and I arrived 2 days before. Little did we know all the initiations that were ahead of us. Can you see our  naive and curious eyes?
—

We all met at the temple in the morning. We meditated, chanted, cried, hugged and there it all began. We had different ideas and intentions for the trip. Yet very similar. 
We all had different intimacy levels with one another. Which morphed, expanded, landed throughout all the days and nights together. 
Many days we needed no words, just an eye exchange, a reach for the hand and there we were, together and safe again. 
We triggered one another but not as much as we saw one another in the most epic mirrors. —
These two women taught me magnificent lessons on showing up and speaking up, how I am a tree, safe and nurturing, and not too much, on being myself fully in all colors of the spectrum. 
They held me, saw me and lifted me in ways I am still metabolizing. —
One morning before we left Vrindavan on the way to Nepal, as we were sharing a triple room, each one doing their very own unique and divine practice- together and separate and together again. I came back from meditation and started my breathwork and movement as I glimpsed at them who were in their own universes creating, moving, accepting and letting go. One of many memories that will be with me forever. —

Not all moments were rainbow and laughter even though there were SO much laughter, however we individually continued to choose to speak and act kindly and honestly. 
My heart is so full. 
I am experiencing a sense of safety within myself and love for myself and this TRIBE that’s allowed me see the potential of this life in new lenses. 
To grow is to relate. 
To love is to share.
To accept is to allow. —
I’ve fallen in love with these two and our magnificent men: Sah and Ian more than I could have imagined. (And more on them very soon🐒)
A bit of sadness drips down my tender heart as the trip is coming to an end, but that is okay. I am okay. We are okay. 
My biggest lesson: I can be who I want. 
CONT on comment 👇🏽👇🏽
My loves, let’s make a pact, from today on we will: 
Declare our choices, not explain them. 
Declare our ideas, not suggest them and wait for approval. 
Declare our love, first. Not wait. 
Let’s Make our life a declaration, confidently and allow it. Get out of our own way. Gently stretch ourselves through the edge. -

How others will receive it/you is out of of our control. So do you baby! 
That’s all we got. Ourselves. 
Your path, your experience is yours, nobody else’s. 
You are meant to be here. 
I am meant to be here. I know we have all come a long long way, so remind yourself of that until you and self trust are one. -—
May you continue to graduate from explaining to declaring. With confidence and ease leaving a part of yourself behind.

This is me before we arrived at the caves. We spent the last 4 days in pilgrimage to 5 secret holy caves in The Himalayas in Nepal. 
I felt a tightness in my heart on the way as I subconsciously knew I was embarking on some of the most powerful days of my life thus far. 
I experienced extreme physical, mental and emotional challenges the first day. 
The Caves were something I had never seen before, the fierce energy was palpable.  I was pushed to my edge and I chose yes. I heard a voice like, saying you got this- go ahead. I was ready to jump, so I did. 
I cried, I shivered, I saw old memories flashing by. I saw old attachments, stories from family that are not mine, splashed in front of me. Old broken commitments, could I let go, once and for all. Could I forgive myself, truly? 
I chose yes. I felt waves up and down side to side in my heart. Having the support of the tribe was inevitable for this expansion. Alexandra, Jackie, Ian & Sah. 🙏🏽 The 4th cave, called the way into the underworld, 40ft underground. 
And there I was again, was I ready to choose me? Again. 
I chose self - acceptance, and that meant to not go all the way in. My knee was sensitive and honoring that was the choice of SELF- LOVE. I felt myself in love with myself again. And at that moment I released a thick layer, an old sweater I’d been wearing through all seasons, it not longer fit and I am here to RISE. I felt seen and accepted by myself. 
As the Daikini of the Monsatery said, we have all the answers inside. Nowhere else. 
Being gentle and powerful. Being compassionate and wise is my way. Right now. 
My healing is personal, and so is yours. 
Remember my love, you’re life is a declaration not an explanation, you are the one saving yourself. 
Share with me if you can relate, we are here together. Choosing joy and loving you, 
from Kathmandu ❤️

I feel some old and new emotions. My body feels tired, my head heavy, yet my heart so tender. 
I took the day to myself today- i  practiced, I moved, I rested, i watched the present moment, and in doing so I ran into my first teacher at the Boudha Stupa this afternoon. What a blessing to just have a moment with her. A moment of stillness, she held my hand and I felt presence. At that moment all there was was enough. I was Enough. I am enough. I remembered. 
The past couple days have been full on, profound and so powerful. I am getting what I asked from being in the Motherland- a scrub, an up level. However for the scrub to take place the dirt needs to resurface. And so it is. 
And the residual of deep openings, feels like an old hangover. And so I practice and I am grateful for having found this deep sense of compassion within me, underneath it all. This is my driving force. How can I listen and allow myself to be guided? How can I get out of the way? I sit with these questions tonight as I prepare for my night meditation, a purification practice I was initiated on yesterday. All that rises will fall, stories, emotions, sensations, tell yourself YOU GOT THIS, come back to breath. And just like that there is an opening, and you have grown. 
Thank you thank you. 
Sending you all my love from Nepal ❤️

This is my third time in India, it’s the same feeling, yet it’s a new me. I always feel at home here, yet; 
I feel more grounded 
I feel more present 
I feel my mind more quiet and ease. Less chatter more present, present inside. 
With the intention to deepen my trust in myself, in my power, in my mission, in my capacity love. I am here. ——
Today I was visited by two monkeys. Yep for the first time ever, 2 in the same day. I didn’t know how I would respond. I know I should have finished my snack before I walked out, it caught me totally off guard. Yet I didn’t scream, I didn’t kick, I didn’t loose my cool. I became a tree. I was shocked, it was such a high, actually. And then again, later in the day at the Tulsi Forest. This time I saw it coming, I stood still and walked away. They looked at me, perhaps surprised because there was no contraction. ✌🏼
I have my practice to thank. It is due to my practice that I can, I could stay calm, equanimous, firm. Non-reactive. An awareness, a connection of body, mind and heart. Through this daily practice, this daily coming home to myself, I find grace, my trust in myself deepens, and I am able to clear old doubts more and more each day. 💫
How do you come home to yourself? 
Loving you from the Motherland,
💛 Moun

I would LOVE to have you for laughter, loving and growing, together- bc its just more fun! 💌
I love you,
@moundsimone
Finding those who support you, who love you, who snap you out of your shit, who make you laugh, who make you tea, who are just there with you and for you. This is a huge part of the path, COMMUNITY, FRIENDSHIP, one of the Three Jewels: THE SANGHA. It is necessary. 
It was not always cake for me to find those who share the same values and have the desires to be their most empowered versions, but when i truly aligned myself with my HEART, they SHOW UP. I promise you, because we are SHOWING UP. 
We are relational beings, we need one another, we need our support system, even if at times it is ONE PERSON, that is enough, and that is wonderful. I had one person for a long time, then more started to show up. And this gorgeous Queen herself, Miss Jess is one of them, who saw a light in me before I was “ready” to admit it. She has reminded me of very own unique gifts. Teaching me to receive myself and life, again and again. To share moments where there is no chatter, just insights, tears, moments of pure joy. My SANGHA you know who you are, thank you, I love you! 
I am also grateful I have become my best friend so that I could let others in and love and care for my heart with me. Reach out my love. There is someone out there ready to walk this life with you, too. 💌
 I am here with you too.

I love you ❤️ MOUN
My VOICE. Hello power, hello dear friend! 
How we communicate, how we manifest, how we ask and how we say no. How our minds and heart’s language are manifested in this physical world. Through our speech. 💫
Funny story; when I was a young girl ;) I had a real hard time with my voice, being heard, and speaking my heart, my truth. I would get into arguments and get really loud, I believed that was the only way I’d really be HEARD, on the flip side I used to pretend to be a news reporter, using the tv remote as a mic- the news I told were always the weather, I don’t know why ;) 💫
Looking back now, with space, a new perspective and compassion- I can see those experiences are what lead me here now. Where loving and accepting my voice is what healed me, my voice is what makes me, me. It’s how I remind myself, daily on the mirror, out loud how beautiful, kind, and valuable I am. And that is how I am of service to you. Through my voice. Which creates words or allows space and silence. 
I take a vow every morning to speak kindly, truthfully, my heart’s intention. 
This is a PRACTICE indeed, to use this tool valuable beyond measure as a means to HEAL. 
It’s our own melody, the sound of our HEART’s language. 
I invite you to commit to using your voice in a way that reminds you of how VALUABLE you are, everyday. Come close to YOURSELF, trust your sound. Give yourself the PERMISSION to fill up. 
Perhaps it’s to ring an old friend and share your heart, or to tell a stranger- hi, I see you!
💫
