•
25-Oct-2026
Intro, movement, meditation, free-writing and community shares all on the topic of Atma Raksana or Soul Protection. Another way to look at this month's focus is Self-prioritizing and creating and upholding boundaries around the actions, places, people, things, (etc) that support you in feeling like your best Self. That which nourishes your Soul on a level that then impacts all else you do in the world.

Free-writing prompts:
1) What is absolutely necessary in your life to feel your best - your happiest, healthiest and most open? Be specific about the practices or conditions, not too generalized. What do you need to do or feel each and every day?
2) What is the greatest obstacle to these conditions being met?
3) What is a strength of yours you can leverage to rise to the challenge of these obstacles?
4) Bonus question from group shares: What's a tiny, repeatable version of those essentials that you can do daily, no matter what's being demanded of you? How can you Protect The Practice in the smallest possible way to remember your best Self?
