Letting go is part of the path to liberation

Theres comes a point in our life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always wil. So don't worry about people from your past. There is a reason why they didn't make it to your future.....


Find peace and contentment in your life today. Dont sit around wishing harm on those who hurt you or revenge. Because ultimately you only       
hurt yourself, because you're giving someone power over you that they dont deserve. And were all part of the same experience on this planet. Meaning that you we all share the same energy, both good and bad. You reap what you sow.
If you sow anger,bitterness, resentment  and pain you will be stuck in that until you see the folly of your way's. I speak from experience! Of course you have a right to be bitter and pissed of indefinately, but why?? All your achieving is inviting negative, poisonous energy. This cut's you off from your source of love and peaceful energy. Your intuitive mind know's this is harmful, do you have the courage to listen to it?
Your energy will be blocked, your mind, body and soul will all suffer manifested in sickness, stress and anxiety. 
Bruce Lee once said that the fist is not a weapon against your opponent, but against yourself. Meaning that through self discipline you overcome greed, anger, seflishness etc. All product's of the ego that block your energy and trap you in fear. And all negativity is based in fear and ignorance, only to keep you trapped in the lie that your bad thought's and failure's define you.
You might think that your body is solid mass, but it's not. It's made out of cell's bound together. Comprised of molecules, comprised of atom's and by electron's. At it's most  basic but dynamic level, you are pure energy. Quantum physic's confirm's this. You are a spiritual being learning how to overcome the illusion's that you are seperated from your higher self, from your friend's and family. Even from those who hurt you. We all effect each other on a deeper, metaphysical level, whether we know it or not! 
Next time you step onto your yoga mat know that you can cultivate a deeper awareness of the truth about yourself and how your practice of well being through self awareness can carry into all aspect's of your life. The ego may try to keep you off your mat, that's because it want's to hide from the light of your awareness that can come out through your practice that's rooted in patience and well being.
Yoga is a tool to help you cut to the root of your mind, to get past the illusion's of your lower self as you find truth and peace. 
God help's those who help's themselve's. You are the one you've been waiting for because only you can step out in faith into your own journey, an inward and outward  journey into power.......

What's your focus?

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." -Buddha


See the key you hold in your hand's. That key is not physical, it's invisible. But it's the most important key you own, it's the key to your soul and heart. Only you have the ability to use it. Because no one else has the ability to unlock your vast potential that lays in your soul. But this will also require sacrifice and courage, for you will have to let go of the fear's that lay in your thought's, the shadow in your soul. 
You may be used to speaking and thinking upon negative thing's, afraid that you cant have a better life. 


But has 'living' that way really made your life better, or is it more of the same? My guess is more of the same! (I speak from experience though, were all in this together) 
Next time you step on your mat, dont focus on what you can or cant do. Just remember your vast potential is and how yoga allow's you to tap into that. Surrender to what is, not how you wished you were different and let go of comparison's. Silence the ego, (your lower self), just meditate on the moment. Dwell on your strength and beauty,(your higher self) and how far you've come. Because chances are, you have made much more progress than you give yourself credit for!
Be of no mind, letting go of analyzing and simply trust your intuition:
"Art reaches it's greatest peak when devoid of self consciousness. Freedom discover's man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make."
Bruce Lee....Yup, be of no mind 

How true is this ?

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin.....But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." Alfred Souza


Find your greatest oppurtunities in great adversity.

Finding the warmth within

I was thinking today about the cold outside in this winter when sometimes all you want to do is stay inside all day and drink hot tea under a warm blanket. Does'nt that sound good right now? :)

Anyway, it also got me thinking about how symbolic this season is. It reminded me of how some people remain stuck in their past, like a 'tundra' of their live's. Frozen and stuck. They collect the frozen 'corpses' of their past regret's, failure's and fear's. It thus become's a graveyard of their toxic memories and they become resigned to dwelling there, saying 'this is as good as it get's, this is my lot in life .' Sad but very true.

Now Im not saying all this to depress you, but to make a point. That we all have a choice, to either remain where we are in our pain and denial or to let go. To find our greatness, both on and off our mat's; this is something that often happen's when we let our pain melt away, when our soul's get stirred up and we awaken in our beauty. We let go of result's or being 'good enough' and surrender to what is. Here is now, this moment that you can make a better choice in, the past is gone. So wich one would you like to live in?

Because sometime's you must be seperated from the very thing's you think you 'need' . The thing's your lower nature is so dependant upon to keep you in the shadow's, as you continue to enable those who hurt you. To keep you afraid of who and what you truly are. Which is someone wonderful and uniquely strong, full of compassion.

I speak from experience because the above story is also my own. I cant tell you what's right or wrong for you as an individual I can simply share that the spiritual and physical practice of yoga can transform you, inside and out. A large part of my healing process was and is yoga. 

Find your healing today and be reminded that there is beauty and light that you hold within. Express yourself on your mat, No one, indeed nothing can take that from you. The moment's you shine on the mat are your's and your's alone.

To unlock the the truth of who you are, the passion and strength that lies in your heart. You owe it to yourself and those around you. The world need's your love and compassion, your service to other's. The help you offer in the darkness. 

Do not be locked into the regret's of your past. Do not look back at what you cant change anyway. Beside's, your pain can be the catalyst that fuel's the furnace that purifies your soul. Like the tear's that wash your heart free of the toxic lies, those fear's and doubt's. 

I strongly encourage you to birth something beautiful in your soul this year, let your love and light go out to other's. Carpe Diem, this is your time!

May all your days be blessed. 

What's your vision this new year?

"The weak are blind; champions visualize their dreams and goals and stop at nothing to see them as a reality." -Samy I.


This can be a very interesting time of year,  a time for reflection, renewal and growth. The energy in winter is very dense, but it also points us toward's the upcoming spring and the change's that come with that. To remind us that we all have season's of rest and great change.


And like the sun, we are all meant to shine. So  I feel compelled to remind you today that you need to shine, dont hold it inside of you, dont think you're not good enough, that you have nothing to offer. YOU are so valuable, you are so loved, you are a beautiful creation, you are a vibrant soul! 


This is your time to seize the day and go find what wonderful thing's beckon you, whether it's around the next corner or across the country. 
May you know how blessed you are beloved friend's. May it be that you find beauty in the everyday, that you offer kindness and love to other's, that you create thing's of wonder from honest self expression.


But it's so crucial that you set you vision upon the right thing's, the positive and not the negative. Upon the light and not the dark, upon the truth about yourself and not the lies other's have told you. Because at the end of the day, you will have to live with the choices you made and no one else! Set you eyes on your bliss and your dream's. Never, ever give up hope.


And know for certain that you are here to share your greatness and your strength, your love and your courage. Whatever bad thing's you have been through dont disqualify you, in fact  they have prepared you for this new year so you can do more and be more. Offer up your heart and your talent's to other's. You are needed and wanted.


My wish is that you have a wonderful and fulfilled year.
