Fresh cover art is [finally] here!  and it’s about so much more than a new look.  In this episode, Rebekka unpacks why she held onto the old podcast art for longer than she should have, and what that delay really represented.  From seven-year cycles to old identities that don’t want to let go, this one is a gentle but powerful invitation to ask yourself: what are you still holding onto that’s blocking the new thing from showing up? In This Episode: Why the podcast cover finally changed and what the fear of changing it revealedThe “new couch” metaphor: why you have to clear space before something new can arriveSeven-year cycles in nature, human biology, and your own life - and how to map yoursThe slow fade of old identities, friendships, and chapters that no longer fitWhy “begin again” are two of the most powerful words you can say to yourselfHow to tap into the future version of you - even when the current version isn’t readyTwo practical exercises for embodying your next-level self right nowWhy your body - not your brain - is the real vehicle for knowing when it’s time to change Two Practices Mentioned: 🕐 The 2-Minute Hold: Set a timer for 2 full minutes and hold the feeling of what you want — channel your highest feeling state and stay there as long as you can. 🌟 Be the Future You for a Day: Pick a day and wake up as the next version of yourself.

In this solo episode, Rebekka looks at whether she’s been gatekeeping and shares the biggest things she’s learned from 20+ years in yoga, meditation, and somatic work.

This was unplanned and hardly heard of - a live recording on the go, from the car but it had to happen on this special day. While potentially 'triggering' [navigating loss of a parent], this episode is hopefully far from that, instead being a wake-up pep talk to how you are LIVING [or ALIVE-ING] your . life . now .  It's so quick and possibly just what you need to hear to remember what being here is actually all about 3 Free pdf & guide to uplift your life :: Wheel of Life guide / audio / coaching [ related IG post ] [and other old living or alive-ing defined post here] _______________________________________________ REBEKKA'S LINKS : WORK WITH REBEKKA / 1:1 ALIVENESS JOURNEY :: START HERE 🌊  CRUISELETTER NEWSLETTER :: to keep you flowing along PORTUGAL 2027 :: LET'S GO! ✨ MEDITATE NOW :: FREE VIDEO + WORKBOOK :: here  🙌  FREE HIGH VIBE GUIDE :: here 📝  BekkaBlue is back on SUBSTACK :: read along 🔥  LIT Living Group Coaching :: let's go! here ⚡️ MEMBERSHIP  ::  RADICAL ALIVENESS on hold   Say hey on Instagram :: @rebekka.mars + the rest of the latest :: here Modern Meditation™ Support the show  😎

This one's personal.  Rebekka shares that after years of feeling in between, in the messy middle of a deeper soul-level transition, she has finally arrived at an ending AND, how you can, too.  And we're not talking just any ending but even moreso the kind your whole body recognizes before your brain catches up. She reflects on what it means to be in a cocoon, why you can't force the butterfly, and how loosening your grip - even just a little - is often the only move that matters.  Plus an update on the new podcast cover art and what's coming next {we need solid endings for even better new beginnings!} In This Episode: Why the podcast has a fresh new look -- and why the name Modern Mindfulness is here to stayThe cocoon metaphor and what it really means to be in a soul-level transitionWhy endings are hard and how to know when you've actually arrived at oneThe difference between your brain trying to keep you safe and your body knowing the truthHow to loosen the grip on what needs to change, even by just 0.001%Becoming friends with your ego instead of trying to transcend itWhat plant medicine, energy healing, and somatic work taught Rebekka about letting goWhy every new chapter is always taking you a step up, even when it doesn't feel that way Quotables: 🦋 "You can't force a butterfly. If you did, it wouldn't be complete." 🤍 "It's not that you're losing anything. You're just letting that energy change form." ✨ "When you know, you know — but first you have to get quiet enough to hear it." 🌸 "We came here to learn AND to enjoy. Don't forget the second part."
