What Is Your Blessing?

I have a fun story. Someone very close to me was reacting to something in me and went to a fearful place. I just pinned them down and just started speaking from a “love” place. Trust me, it took a very conscious moment not to react and go to my separate corner and lick my wounds. They were reacting to something I could not change, but that triggered their fear button. I had no idea what I was going to do. I just let God come through and what a good job was done then and there. I just stayed there speaking from and about love and not allowing fear to separate us.

Regain Your Innocence with Yoga

Innocence is what we get when we lose all we have been told we have to do or be. Innocence is the charm that holds love's grace. Innocence is the unva ished clarity we seek when we strip away what others think of us. I could go on and on, but I want to know what you think of innocence. I want to know what you know about innocence and I want to know when you last felt innocent. We talk about losing our innocence, but I want to talk of regaining it. How can you get your innocence back?

Yoga: What Are You Willing to Leave Behind?

Lent started the day before Valentine's Day. I find this interesting since they are quite the opposite. If you didn't know, Ash Wednesday is the kick off for Lent. Remembering that you came from dust and to dust you will return. This is the time of year you give something up that you have acquired along your path and know that it is not serving you.

Yoga: Meditation Tips for More Energy, Focus, and Fortune

How can meditation help your fortune and focus? I was teaching at Quattro University, our first live event, teaching business people how to be more focused and effective through meditation, yogic tips, NLP, and many other modalities. It was magnificent. Why? Because I got to see people who had lots of years practicing these conscious methods and others who had no idea what they signed up for.

Summer Solstice: A Time for Transformation Through Yoga

Summer Solstice - that marvelous time of the year where there is more light and more fire than any other time. Summer Solstice is the time when we can work and play longer. The Universe is also working and playing with us longer. We come in out of the cold in many places and get to take layers of clothing OFF. We are getting exposed. The cleansing is taking place by fire. Now is the time to do group fire rituals. Time to pierce the payers of the seen to meet the unseen. Let the heat of the desert crack you open.

How Are You Doing?

Blog: How are you doing in these times? Want better? Truly what we hold and reflect creates a huge part of our reality. If everyone is having this collective discussion about how bad it is are you joining in? I say lets change the discussion to what do we want to do with this. We obviously have some severely broken systems are we going to be happy with patching them up? Would you be happy with retreads for tires never knowing when the whole thing may just spin off? Why would we be happy with retreads for our monetary systems, our government, and our business systems?

Stressed Out Now, Heres Relief

What do you do with the stress? How long does it take most conversations to come to the financial melt down issue? Not very long these days. We can feed each others fear or hope?

With hope vision comes back. With hope we can take action. This is not the time to kill yourself nor bury yourself in depression or anxiety. I have some hope fillers. They are stress busters. They are Guru dust.r

Energy is becoming more and more priceless in our awareness. When we say energy we usually think of utilities and what we need to drive these machines we are so dependent on. What are the sources of that power? First we think oil or coal, now water is the next power resource we will see being challenged in terms of scarcity and who controls it. Yet we have something that is more priceless to human life even more priceless than water or oil. Yes our breath.

Are You Feeling Depressed, Anxious, Fearful?

What do you do when you are depressed, anxious, upset? I have great tips on how to release all these energy’s that is what I do as the Energy Guru. Now I want to recommend a partner_ just being with the feeling. This is much harder than trying to banish it into the far reaches of our consciousness. I like the banishing the evil (ha) feeling and yet…. So much to be learned by being with the discomfort till it has had its say. 1.We don’t listen to others we just sorta pay lip service while we multitask. 2. We also don’t listen to ourselves deeply.

Do you want your freedom back? This is directed to you who may be working for corporations or businesses and would really love the freedom and yet security of working for yourselves. I hear more and more horror stories of businesses who are using these times to let go of people they didn’t like under the guise of cut backs. Businesses who are slashing salaries and commissions, some really need to do these things and some are just doing it.

How Do You Get Your Inspiration?

Can’t buy it anywhere. If it could be bottled and sold it would have been. We have many speakers who are billed as inspirational speakers and they usually are yet when the high wears off do you have any tangible steps to follow to replicate that state? 1. I really want to know what do you do to get your juices going enough and yet be calm enough to accept the input when you need it? 2. How do you keep space on your hard drive for information to just pop in at random times when you may or may not consciously think you need supplemental information.

What Is The Most Touted And Least Understood Concept Of Our Time?

What is the most touted and least understood word we use? Take a deep breath and sit quietly for 1 moment and listen to the answer. What is everyone striving for which can never be reached by striving? What do we want for the world and yet can’t seem to have it in our own lives? What is above and beyond any price tag? Come on you know it. It is a distant longing in your being. This longing is encoded within us. Yes that to which we all long to belong but more than that. Did you just think I was going to hand over the answer to you? Lets awaken it.

Do You Want Your Skinny Back? Part# 6

Rule #5 Get real and realistic with your feelings. Wow! Or as I would say Wahe Guru (The ete al, invincible WOW) As you go through this process not just read about it but truly embark on the “dealing with emotions barge” I applaud you. Why because there is a reason you have the weight on in the first place. Again I don’t care where you are carrying your weight and I don’t mean body parts I mean your dead cows can manifest or womanfest as physical weight, mental weight, emotional weight, and psychic weight. We carry it around knowing we have it or unconsciously not really knowing.

Stress Isn't Sexy. Do You Want Sexy Back?

Stress isn’t sexy? Do you want sexy back? These times give us plenty of fodder for stress if you didn’t already have a very large does of it. When we are stressed we have several patterns that usually go hand and hand with it and it’s not a cozy loving hand. 1. We breath shallowly 2. We eat badly. (what we lovingly call comfort food) 3. We sleep poorly 4. We drink way to much caffeineated drinks 5. We don’t take care of ourselves The reactions of these are not as simple to identify but they are all too common. 1. We get irritated easily 2. We don’t have time for anythingr

I heard yesterday about a new proposed experiential holiday. Poland is proposing an Gulag experience where you will get to sleep on boards, work in hideous conditions and awful cold, have horrid food to get the full Gulag effect. Anyone needing this experience can contact NPR and find out how to do so. If not lets figure out how we can have more internal joy and uplift others.

Cancellation Of Isolation

As more and more people are given their pink slips, told they no longer have jobs, their departments disappear or the entire company closes the more isolation and fear we will face as a nation as a world. I love this quote about isolation from Yoga Bhajan who was a master with words. “Isolation is your own fear. Isolation is your own degradation. You cannot enter the valley of Happiness if you depend on isolation.”

Beautiful, vast and yet situations and our concepts that have come from those situations tell us that we are less than that. I want you to know that you are ALL THAT. Where do we start with something this huge usually with a large gap between the idea and the reality? We start at the beginning fearlessly. Remember that means less fear not no fear.

What Is After The One Minute Manager?

I heard this term by the “Made to stick” brothers whose names are not sticking right now, feather stretch. It means doing something for a very short period of time that we usually agree you must do for longer. Examples are like setting a clock for 5 minutes and cleaning the dirtiest room in the house but only for 5 minutes or exercising in front of the TV for 1 minute for an overwhelmed mom but only for 1 minute. Tiny things that allow people to think that can do it. Micro programs to give hope and start people wanting more of whatever it is.

I’m not into perfect tools I’m into effective ones. Are yours effective? I want to share some of my favorite tools.

What can we do to help each other? I realized today in wondering what I would blog about I came upon this realization. When we know something we often assume that everyone knows that thing or lifestyle, or subject. Not true. So this is really an encouragement to share you gifts. I often take all I know for granite. I figure everyone knows about lifestyle, truly healthy eating, breathing, chanting, meditating, building community, yoga, relationships, etc. so I want to help you look at what you know and honor it by seeing how you can bring it into the light of day.

Is Meditation serving you? Do you want it to be?

How do you recover from a day that blows up in your face? There is even a question before that. How do you start your day? If you don’t start your day with some sort of connection with the self then you are in for a great treat. Meditation is the leading edge. All great people know the absolute necessity of taking quite time. Call it vision time, call it meditation, call is solace, call it what you want. We all need that time to connect in and revitalize the deepest part of us, our essential human essence. No, that is not a spelling mistake. We are all beings of light.
