Improvement - Akashic Record Reading

January 29, 2019

Akasha is the Sanskrit word for “ether” - one of the five elements. The Akashic Records are an energetic database where all past, present, and future possibilities are held. An Akashic Record Reading is a soul reading - it’s a prayerful process of tapping into the Records to access your soul’s unique vibration, history and purpose.

The poem below is an Akashic Record Reading for our collective community. I hope it helps inspire you to live life more bravely in 2019 and not be afraid to stand up for yourself.

Enjoy!

xx

Cat


you are not alone.

there’s so much more to life than what you see

than what exists.

be here now for yourself.

for others.

all you have is this moment.

the most important relationship you have

is the one with yourself.

the way you give to yourself

is the way you give to others.

the way you talk to yourself

is the way you talk the others.

the world is a reflection of you.

you are a reflection of the world.

once you accept that,

everything starts to make sense.

you improve because you want the world to improve.

the world improves,

because you improved.

all you have is this moment.

-improvement


Through my deep, personal practice of yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, I feel like I am able to access the Akashic Records more easily and with clarity. Being able to quiet my mind enough to do something like this is why I’m so passionate about leading EAT STRETCH NAP Retreats! We are capable of so much, it’s up to us to uncover it. If getting an Akashic Records reading done is something you’re curious about, email me at cat@eatstretchnap.com and let’s talk!

trust your insides.

trust your gut.

don’t be afraid.

today is the beginning of a new day.

a release.

a starting over.

a breaking point.

do with it what you can.

please,

let you get what you want this time.

A Message To All My Haters

September 4, 2018

I've recently been inspired to write poetry. I've always written thoughts like this in my journal, but never thought of it as "poetry." I deeply love and respect words so perhaps all this time, I've been a poet! How fun! ;) Would love to know if these words resonate with you! Let me know in the comments! This poem is about finally accepting myself AND the negative people and energy in my life that inadvertently, but perhaps purposefully, have gotten me to where I am today.


Thank you.

Thank you for not believing in me
For it has led me here.

Thank you for filling my mind with doubt, worry, concern and lack
For it has led me here.

Thank you for making me feel inadequate
like I was forever not good enough
For it has led me here.

Thank you for constantly putting me down
making me feel bad about feeling good
For it has led me here.

Thank you for doing everything you could to protect me from what's mine
to make me feel small
to make me feel safe
For it has led me here.

Without your criticism, your fear, and your lack of belief in yourself
I wouldn’t be where I am today.

They say you need darkness to see the light
But the darkness doesn’t have to be mine.

- a message to all my haters


Love,
Cat

CAT ALDANA ON THE CHAARG PODCAST - AYURVEDA

July 11, 2018

I had so much fun doing my first CHAARG Podcast, I had to go back!  CHAARG is an amazing company that brings college-aged girls together to ignite a passion for health + fitness. Elisabeth Tavierne, founder of CHAARG, and I recently sat down together and talked all about Ayurveda - the oldest medicine system in the world. In this podcast, I got real about how Ayurveda aligns yourself with nature and covered not only the basics of Ayurvedic practice, but also dry brushing, tongue scraping, marma points, + much more!
