My two favorite quotes and a scripture that remind me who I am...how to accept...how to go with the flow.
2nd Timothy1:7- For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND.

Alexandra stoddard-"Life is too short to be the CARETAKER of the wrong details."

Galileo Gailei- The Sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the Universe to do.

We are powerful and loving...choose wisely what you want to own and to take care of ...even emotions... trust, let go, every experience teaches us...ACCEPTANCE gives us the power to be responsible ...to be the caretaker of our own SOULS.

We all desire to feel connected.  Through breath we can connect to ourselves...through touch we can connect to others...Every door I walk through I take a complete breath and think to myself, "I am here" I remember my son from Ethiopia raised his hand in the air and said to me,"What is this?"
I too raised my hand in the air and felt the wind.  Air is our life force...it is what keeps us in our body...breathe and touch...be deliberate.

What are we doing with the sight we have?

I had a conversation with a man this week that has stayed with me, he was diagnosed with Parkinson disease five years ago. He told me that he just couldn't accept that he had the disease, he didnt even want to learn or read about it. Any thing he did read scared him and put him in futher denial. His wife did read about it accepted what was to be and felt very strongly that he should retire early so that they would have the next five years together before the disease turned for the worse. He told me he couldn't let go of his work, he couldn't accept what was," I wish I would of chose her and that time." He is only 50 he is losing his eye sight and much more. My heart hurt for him, I thought what am I doing and seeing with the sight I have, how am I living my life? What is truly important? We can only make good decisions when we are present, acceptance helps us be responsible and to let go of how we think things should be.

What to do when there is no DESIRE

I have been asked lately," What do you do when you have no desire to get on the mat or walk?"
Sometimes we have to trick ourselves or fake it until we make it.
Put the mat out, put your walking shoes on,thats all then see what happens, maybe the next day you can just sit on the mat and breathe deeply, maybe you could just walk to the mailbox. Everyday do a little more and soon you will be doing yoga and you will be walking.
Here are a few other tips:

Take a deep breath in through the nose to the count of 5, hold 5 & breathe out 5.
listen to nature, poetry and music.
Go a different way to work.
Join Pinterest and see beautiful places to go.
Invigorate yourself with the smell & taste of citrus.
Rub your body with a loofah brush then apply sesame oil, take a shower and turn the water from warm to cold, back and forth.
Eliminate dairy, meat, and sweets for a ittle while.
So first breathe, listen, see, smell, taste & touch.
Identify the problem,move it, release it.
Drink a quart of water to every 50 pounds.
Kindle a desire light a candle write your deepest desire.

Being Present

Being present, living now not in the past or future it is truly a gift. Practicing present moment awareness is one of the laws that govern the third chakra. We can only accept what is if we are present not wishing for things or people to be different. Through being present and accepting we can manifest the future through our deepest desires, our intentions.

Have you ever been with someone who showed up to be fully present? When you talk they are really listening they see you as though its been the first time every time. What a beautiful gift to give your self and others, show up, be present.

The Script of Life

It is getting time to plant new seeds into the ground, the ground is softening, ready to start something new, new hopes and dreams. The most powerful thing we have is attention, because it gives it value, whatever we put our attention on will grow stronger in our lives, whatever we take attention away from will wither, disintegrate and disapear.

Attention energizes, but intention transforms. We can water the seed with intentions, our intentions manifest our will, our will is our destiny, thus our script of life, we are the writer, be careful about your desires, make sure it is what you truly want, because it will be your destiny.

The Power of Transformation

The third Chakra or energy point is about transformation, it is a firery chakra. This chakra is located in the solar plexus it is the center of personal identity.
We all know what we dont want. We have to work through what we dont want,to get to what we do want. A desire cannot be killed-It can be fulfilled or transcended.
Journal what you want describe every detail.
