New Yoga Class!! Let's start off the year 2014 with greatness.

Starting tomorrow (Thursday, January 2, 2014) we are launching a new yoga class open to the public.    This will be an amazing new experience to myself and my yogis, because it will be a little different than your typical yoga class... It's in Luv2Gre8 Studio in Hightstown NJ that my friend Crazy Mike owns (look him up, he's a very cool guy) ...  We partnered together to create a very comfortable setting in one of his studios to practice yoga and meditation that I'm guiding.  His studios are very artsy and have a very chill vibe.  The yoga-tation will be followed by our requested Zen Talk which will include topics such as Manifesting, Energy, Positive thinking, Visualization and lots more! I'm just super excited to be sharing my passion with amazing people that are involved and looking forward to an amazing 2014.  I hope everyone had a great holiday, now it's time to get off our butts and go with the flow =) 

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.

Merry Christmas my loves!!

Life Happens

We all get busy and sometimes loose track of ourselves.  We don't work out as much, or eat healthy the way we should, or just simply don't take time for ourselves.  It's a part of life and fortunately it is not the end of the world (even though we think it is).  Maybe it's the optimist in me, but it's also being realistic.  We can be so hard on ourselves at times, but we all know our limit.  When we reach that limit it's time to get to the real YOU back.  This happens eventually and when it does all you need is a few shifts and you can get on the right track.

First off, forgive your self.  Actually take a moment for your self, take a deep breath, close your eyes and have a gentle conversation with your self.  We all do it, but most times it's not the right conversations.  In the process of forgiving and letting go, we make space in us for thoughts that serve us and guide us towards a better life.  Every big goal starts with little steps, making it easier each time you move forward.

Here is a few things I do everyday that ensure I feel my best....

- Wake up with gratitude
- Read something uplifting
- Listen to something educational
- Do a form of meditation... observing the thoughts
- Being compassionate with myself and others
- Helping out whenever I can
- Eat fruits and veggies
- Stay active (walking, jogging, yoga)
- Write
- Dress for the occasion and feel great
- Relax

Positive life starts from within.  I promise you once you take care of your mind and body, everything will be wonderful.

Walk with a purpose

I love to walk.  I sometimes wish I loved to run as much as I like walking, but I came to peace with the fact that I'm not into running.  With that said, I don't force myself to run, unless of course I get inspired to jog like a half a mile and continue walking the rest of the way.  On average, I walk 3-4 miles, three days a week.  I have my favorite spots that I frequent, but I'm open to new places as well.

Today's post is about not just walking, but walking with a purpose.  As much as music inspires my life, I prefer to listen to podcasts, meditations, lectures and other conversations that interest me.  For example, I listened to an interview about how to forgive and let go of "things" or energy that doesn't serve you anymore.  Listening to it made me put my thoughts and energy into motion and I literally felt like I was leaving all the negative stuff behind and walking towards a better life.  I am a very happy, positive person but I still find that I constantly have to work at that.  With time, things get easier and I accomplish being happy faster than when I started my journey a few years ago.  The thought of that puts a smile on my face, knowing I have so many amazing things and experiences to look forward to.

I focused on walking towards my future, having a successful career and a smooth move to NYC. It only took me a half hour but I already feel so much better about my decisions.  Now will I have to go out there and walk with my thoughts some more? Of course, but I'll do it gladly.

Every action that you do, make sure you do it with a positive attitude... You will receive so much in return.  Namaste everyone.

XoXo,
Michaela

Meditation before going to bed.

Tonight I am grateful for tomorrow.

As I fall asleep tonight, I will focus on appreciating what tomorrow has in store for me.  I will let go of any attachments to expectations I have for myself, and surrender to the moment.  I smile as I feel and think these thoughts.  All is well.  Everyday and in every way I am better and better, and so it is.

Sweet Dreams!!
