In today’s episode we are joined by the amazingly talented and warm Jaylene Weaver. Jaylene is an experienced and deeply caring Yoga Teacher, who specializes in Yin and Restorative Yoga.
I've been looking forward to this conversation with Jaylene for a long time and our conversation today does not disappoint. We dive into how she got started with yoga, using yoga to navigate dark times, we talk about the importance of intuition and the sacred and how to create space for both. Near the end episode we recreate an awesome Fire Burning Ceremony that she had us do, and of course it wouldn’t be Outloud With Dixon if we didn’t talk about books, and Jaylene was kind enough to bring a few of her favorite books and share them with us.
So if you want to dive into the mystery, learn the responsibility of a teacher and guide, gather around the campfire, listen close, and join me in our beautiful conversation with Jaylene Weaver.

The First Agreement of Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements. I AM IMPECCABLE WITH MY WORD. Our word and voice has the creative power to create life and destroy it.

Friendship is built on good listening. Join us for the third and final reading of Siddhartha! Active listening offers great techniques to help you get in sync with the person you are in communication with, but is it really the best way? Learning to be present with ourselves allows us to express our rapt attention 100% when we listen to someone else. They can feel it. We can feel it. Better listening creates space for healing and growth for everyone involved. Read along: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2500/2500-h/2500-h.htm Contact me: https://www.instagram.com/dixon_kav/
Sex, Suicide, and Midlife Crisis. Sounds more like late night literotica than it does a classic novel about the Buddha. Easy pleasures can rob us of mental clarity. Personal crisis can make us forget our purpose. We must use the good times to prepare for the bad times, the winters of life. In this episode we jump back into the second passage of Herman Hesse's Siddhartha.

Let's take this time to investigate what is happening in the present moment. In this episode of Outloud With Dixon we explore the first part of Herman Hesse's classic novel Siddhartha. We join Siddhartha in deep conversation with The Buddha Gotama, a dialogue permeated with nuance and spiritual undertones. Does Siddhartha's struggle to forge his own path at all parallel our own? How can we use his experience and his wisdom to better inform the decisions we make in our own lives? In this episode we discuss the idea that our capacity to learn is a function of our level of observation and awareness. Read Along: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2500/2500-h/2500-h.htm
What would it feel like to help others feel safe? In today's episode we explore the third and final excerpt of James Allen's As A Man Thinketh.
By bringing more presence and calm Into our own lives, we can help unlock those same emotions in others.
Leaders do this by creating a vision for the future that enlivens people to hold themselves to a higher standard. To lead well we must first lead ourselves well. Book Link: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4507/4507-h/4507-h.htm#purpose
The energy of a compelling future helps us tap into The Warrior Spirit that lives within us. In this Episode of Outloud With Dixon we dive into the second part of James Allen's As A Man Thinketh. We hear from his experience about the importance of taking ownership of our thoughts, using difficulty to help us grow, and taking courageous action to build the lives that we want for ourselves and others. By taking action, you not only improve your life but the lives of those you come in contact with. By becoming more, you have more to offer to the world.
