The core of Mantra Moves is this: we are what we repeatedly do. Our thoughts, emotions, actions, and words all become patterns—and through conscious repetition, we can reshape those patterns. With every intentional breath, each empowering mantra, and every embodied movement, we are rewiring our inner world and creating a more positive, beautiful, loving world.

A big part of #softlife is living intentionally, and it’s hard to do that without a plan in place. The Mantra Moves journal, created by Los Angeles–based wellness instructor Vanessa Dunn, does just that

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FORM OF MOVEMENT?

If I had to pick one ….. it would be walking.  You can do it anywhere, anytime and it literally takes you places.  I love exploring and being in nature so combining that with movement is my favorite!  Even if it’s just for a walk around the block I can find so many hidden joys when I get outside.  - Feeling the sun on my face, breathing in the fresh air, noticing a flower blooming, pups looking for pets, squirrels doing their squrriely things, maybe share a smile or a hello with a neighbor.

Thru-hiking is like a portal into another world filled with beauty, passion and purpose.
