Hooray!  I’ve finished my yoga teacher training and I’m officially a certified yoga teacher!

I’m taking some time to let what I’ve learned integrate and am looking forward to finding a teaching position and offering yoga/energy healing workshops. 

It’s a great thing when you commit to trying something new and the path of discovery with it turns out to be more significant and richer than you’d imagined.  You just never know what great things can come to you with each choice and decision.  You just have to try!

Blessings, all!

Sometimes you have to resist the urge to do what your friends are doing to find your own way.

Sometimes that’s easy and it makes perfect sense.  Sometimes it’s tough and requires a firm focus on your own inner guidance and the courage to say no.  It’s especially tough when you’re facing someone who is a vibrational match for you.  It’s easy when you’re out of alignment with someone vibrationally — that’s a very clear feeling that you need to do your own thing.  But, when you’re in vibrational alignment with someone and yet feel you need to break away and do your own thing . . . there can be a rub.

However . . . when you make that move toward following your inner guidance (and you won’t always know the whys in every moment — which makes it one step tougher to follow the guidance), you really do end up in the very place you want to be.  Now, sometimes you end up arriving there a little confused.  Sometimes a little shaken.  But, when you find your steady feet again you will begin to see your surroundings clearly and you’ll *know* you’ve arrived in the very place you’ve envisioned for yourself.

Why does it need to take that step of courage and separation?  Well, there are a coule of thoughts on that.  One stemming from the Anthroposophical perspective of the Hero’s Journey.  We are our own hero.  We are the main character in our own fairy tale.  We must overcome the challenges and tests.  We must show persistance and courage to win the prize.  We must step fearlessly into the unknown.  It’s part of our human journey, this dangerous, wild adventure of life.

Another way to see it is energetically — we need to get neutral to ourselves, other people, situations, triggers.  To break away from others is a way to become energetically separate from them and move toward our own neutrality.  It’s a way that the inner begins to match the outer — or the outer begins to match the inner.

I’ve been finding consistently that you *must* show courage.  You must act fearlessly.  You must step forward.  And when you do, it’s like in the Harrison Ford Indiana Jones movie where he has to take a step off the cliff onto the invisible pathway.  When you step, the path appears.  But you have to step first . . .  [ooh, that's so tough!]

And while you’re preparing to step . . . breathe.  Find that place of inner certainty through your breath and let the certainty and courage ride in and out of the tide of your own miraculous breath.

Thank you, Jennifer H. for a great healing today.

Friends, I’m telling you.  Energy healing will Change. Your. Life. 

If you want to make changes — if there’s something that you don’t like.  Doesn’t feel good.  Keeps happening.

C H A N G E   I T .

Change it.

If you’re stuck and can’t change it yourself, ask for help.  Set up an energy healing session and let’s do it!  Let’s get it done!  Let’s get you to the life you really want for yourself.  Let’s figure out who you are, where you’re going and get you there!

Time to dive in, folks!  Really get in there — into the depths.

Yes, it can be scary.  Yes, it can be dark.  And unknown.  And uncertain.  And lonely.  And uncomfortable.

But it is the only way . . .  it is the only way.

And, when you decide the time is right to go to your depths, you will be met there.  I promise.  You will not be alone.

I’d like to see Christians stop judging and criticizing others.  I’d like to see them open their hearts and minds and to act from an attitude of grace, humility, love and forgiveness.  I’d like to see them be more gracious and generous.  I’d like them to see that there are many roads that all lead to the same place. 

But, then again, I’d like to see everyone act that way. 

I’d like to see my fellow Christians use their faith traditions gently and stop banging people over the heads with them.  I’d like to see them use the tenets of their faith to clean up their own lives first before they begin to point out flaws in others’ lives.  I’d like them to live by the Golden Rule.

I’d like my fellow Christians to be so filled with joy, peace and love that that is all they shine out to other people.  I’d like them to live what they say they believe. 

I commit to doing these things myself — to the best of my ability.  I ask the angels and ascended masters to show me that way — and I give myself up to that journey everyday.

It’s not a great feeling, this boredom and antsy energy.  I’ve had it before and I know that something is going to happen pretty soon. 

It would be really good for me to get some projects done to clear space, but I’m too bored to do them.  It would be good for me to rest and relax before this next big “thing” arrives, but I’m too antsy to rest.

I want to do something, but I don’t want to do anything.  I’m lonely but feeling unsocial.  I’m tired but not sleepy.

It’s a weird little stuck place.  And, it’s temporary.

I feel like I’m waiting for something and I have no idea what it is.  I’ll know it when it arrives, though.  And, it’ll be good.  Really good.

Not that this is a brand new “Ah-hah!” moment by any means.  Most of us know that most people are not great listeners.  How many times have you felt like you had to jockey for position during a conversation — that someone else was running it and you had to work hard to interject your thoughts?  Or, how many times have you tried to make your thoughts understood and the person you were talking to just didn’t get it?

I’ve found that has happened to me for years.  And, I always thought it was my fault.  That I wasn’t being clear enough or that my thoughts were jumbled and poorly stated.  Or, the worst . . . that what I had to say wasn’t worth listening to and that I, by extention, wasn’t worth listening to.

I’m moving out of that paradigm to the realization that it’s not that what I have to say isn’t worth listening to, it’s that most people aren’t good at listening.  It’s more a deficit on their end than on mine. 

Now, before you follow me into some victim-thinking . . .

I’m not saying that I don’t have a part in it.  For years — maybe for my whole life — I have held a lack of self-worth.  So, I’m changing my thinking.  And, I’m not blaming anyone (no sense in that, my friends — you can create additional karma and bad will) for being a bad listener.

Instead, I’m holding up good listening as a virtue — a worthwhile talent and skill. 

If you’re already a good listener, you are a cherished gift to many people.  If you’re not, you may wish to put some attention on learning to be a good listener.  There are many resources and methods out there, but be sure that you have a genuine desire to improve your listening skills as you go about learning how.  Otherwise, it’ll just sound like you learned techniques.

Good listening comes from the heart.  And soul.  The desire to make a true connection with someone.

We’re connected anyway — how about living it to its fullest?

Hi, friends.  You’ve heard this from me before.  It’s all just layers.  It’s all just path. 

There are times when we just have to hack away at it.  Hack.  Hack.  Hack. 

Just keep going.  It may seem endless at times, this clearing, healing, forgiving, learning.  But we just keep going.

All roads lead to the same place.  Some of us will make a lot of progress in this lifetime, others will make less.  But eventually, we all end up in the same place.  I’ve chosen this time around to work really hard to clear karma, to get myself worked out and that’s what I’m doing.  Sometimes I wish I’d have chosen an easier path because this one’s tough at times.  But, it’s my chosen path and I’m walking it.

I’ve been focusing on clearing anger and rage lately and oh, my; there’s a lot of stuff coming up.  It’s so good to clear stuff out.  It’s like moving furniture or kitchen appliances around — there’s some icky gunk under them and sometimes it takes a few passes with a clean cloth, but eventually it gets clean.

Here’s to cleaning up the layers!

Blessings on your clearing work.  If you’re looking for help — I’d be happy to.  Yuen energy healing is powerful and fast — and it reaching into the corners you can’t easily see.

Although I’m a vinyasa junkie, ashtanga yoga is my true love.  I love, love, love ashtanga yoga.  It’s just so well designed and I feel so good, good, good when I’ve done it.  Yum, yum, yum.

And, vinyasa’s fun too.  I’m almost done with my training and I’m thinking how fun it would be to do a goddess / yoga workshop and incorporate some belly dancing moves into a vinyasa yoga class.  How fun would that be??  Would you come?

Let compassion transform you.  Allow yourself to see yourself in others — and others in you.  “We are all in this together,” is equal parts cliche and deep wisdom.  We are all in this together.  There is no separation between us. 

We are one.

Whatever happens to you happens to me.  Whatever happens to me happens to you.  If I help you, I help me.  If I help me, I help you.  Be compassionate to yourself and you spread compassion throughout the world.  Be compassionate to the world and you are compassionate to yourself.  There is no difference.  It’s a circle — a spiral, my friends.

We.  Are.  All.  One.

Be kind.
