Breathe and be happy

We humans have anywhere from 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day.  But according to some research, as many as 98 percent of them are exactly the same as we had the day before.  That's where meditation comes in.  It has nothing to do with being "new age" or anything like that, it's just pure facts that with meditation you get to observe your thoughts.  I like to start my yoga classes with a light meditation, it shows that even two to five minutes make a huge difference in a practice and setting a nice intention for the asanas.  Teaching my yogis that they can do this anytime and it's the best way to start the day.

A few minutes is all that it takes.  I like to do this in the morning as soon as I wake up, and when I don't, I see a huge difference in my day.  So I sit at the edge of my bed, make sure that I'm relaxed and comfortable, sometimes still having my blanket over me.  I gently close my eyes, and take a nice long deep breath.  I put a slight smile on my face and say to myself "today I will have a great day and I will be of service and be productive", or "Everyday and in every way I'm getting better and better", or "Today will be the greatest day of my life and I will find many things that make me laugh and smile".... You get the point, and feel free to create your own intentions for your meditation practice and day.  So just this simple thought and breath you are changing the flow of the day.  You actually start seeing experiences that make you happy and naturally more relaxed.  Of course the more you do it the better things get.

So sit, smile, and breathe.  Instead of being your thoughts observe your thoughts.  Notice how your body is feeling and know that you are a creator and are a beautiful powerful person.

When you get deeper into the practice you can incorporate some visualization techniques and focus on your desires.  Ask for what you want.  Know that this is already happening. You are in charge.  You don't have to know how this will come about, but use the visuals, feelings and thoughts you have about having it will bring all the answers.  Strengthen your rich brain.  By rich brain I mean use it for positivity, good feelings and success in all aspects. You have one life and you deserve to feel great.  Start your morning right and be in the moment.  Notice the difference.

Namaste,

Believe and Receive.. more than you could ever imagine

All the things you want are already in you.  When you bring your attention to these things (in meditation) and attach a good positive feeling to it and release it into the universe everything shifts.  Those things that you are wishing for start showing up in your life, or bring you towards them through different circumstances.  Since you are connecting to that thought, that single step, is showing you that you are ready to receive.  Now of course all the things that we wish for have to be believable and achiavable, but don't  limit your self.  Sometimes better things come to you, things that you couldn't even imagine because experiencing what you wanted is so much better than just imagining it.  Believe in miracles.  You are a miracle.  Believe in yourself.

Connect to yourself with meditation.  Find a few minutes in the day, preferably as you wake up and just focus on your breath.  Take beautiful long breaths and smile and know that you will have a wonderful day ahead.  Send love and gratitude into your day.  When you connect like this, believe me when I say, you will notice amazing changes in your day (life).

Im off to have an amazing day my self... Happy Holidays everyone. This is the season to wish and believe.
