Be Still & Awaken Your Intuitive Heart Center

VIBRANT HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK ~
BE STILL & AWAKEN YOUR INTUITIVE HEART CENTER


Today and everyday, create the space to get STILL. To just be. To breathe and sense. This is the soul space and you enter it through the heart center . Breathe long and deep into the center of your chest. Expand the energy field of your heart center by thinking of something you are grateful for and thankful for. Allow that feeling to saturate your entire body and visualize your heart center radiating rays of warmth, love and light 360 degrees around you. Expand that out 10 feet, 20 feet , 30 feet, as far out as feels right to you and in that open heart space, ask OUT LOUD your DIVINE INTUITIVE SELF: What would it take for me to step fully into my truth? Again ask: What would it take for me to step fully into my truth? Ask a 3rd time. What would it take to step fully into my truth? Notice what insight, sense, feeling comes up in the first few seconds after you ask that powerful question. Then SET YOUR INTENTION TO TAKE THAT STEP! 

When we align with our truth in the heart center, the whole universe will align to support us. Look for coincidences and synchronicities as signs of the universe co-creating with you to support your unfolding into higher levels of truth, love, compassion and consciousness. Trust the intelligence that keeps the planets orbiting in the solar system to be there energetically to support your journey.

We are living in powerful times of potentiality for evolving to deeper levels of being. Our planet is calling out for us to show up in a conscious partnership. The world is asking us to show up in a conscious partnership of peace and prosperity vs. the destructive violence of war. This is known as the Aquarian age and its now. We grow or suffer.We are being guided to release old patterns of fear and contraction and open to the power of trust and love. I choose to grow, and expand my level of conscious awareness, my connection and embodiment of intuitive spirit and I invite you to embrace that invitation too! It all begins with the daily commitment to GET STILL and connect to your SACRED INTUITIVE HEART SPACE. Breathe, Feel, Trust and take Focused Action to align with your authentic self. 

 Namaste & Blessings for stillness and open heart connections to your Divine Intuitive Truth.

THE BEST WAY TO BALANCE

VIBRANT HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK~ The Best Way to Balance
Hello All ! We are poised to have our first frost here in New England this week. A sure sign of the change of season upon us. As we journey through these last few days of summer, Fall equinox awaits with its energy of balance and then shifting. Isn't that the way it always is? We may finally feel we have some stability in our lives and then things shift. The only constant is change, so redefining balance as a dynamic flow between two energies is much more in line with the nature of how energy operates.

In yoga, which means union of body, mind and spirit, we cultivate practicing quieting our busy and sometimes frenetically distracted minds with focusing on our breath and allowing over time, the natural, clear, unreactive state of mind to emerge. Call this your NEUTRAL MIND. It neither overly grasps towards what you think you want or reactively pushes away from what you think you don't want.

Being caught between desires and rejections is a very ungrounded way of being and results in multiple stress responses in the body and mind. It drains our energy and keeps us in a tug of war between fear, anxiety and anger. We never feel at peace in this state. Something always makes us feel out of balance and dissatisfied with ourselves, our situations or with others.

WHAT TO DO ?? CULTIVATE A NEUTRAL MIND AS THE BEST WAY TO BALANCE. Daily meditation is key. If new to the practice, start with 5 minutes in the morning upon waking and at night before going to sleep. Sit comfortably and observe the inflow and outflow of your breath without judgement. If the mind wanders , and it will, just begin again. Over time, the minds relentless charge of chatter and distraction will quiet. 

  Using a mantra is always very powerful to ground you in the present. You can use any word, prayer or mantra that appeals. Inhaling OM, Exhaling Shanti is a great choice. OM for universal consciousness and Shanti for Peace. All mantras carry a high vibration of unity consciousness and help connect us to the neutral mind . When we chant them, either out loud or silently, we activate a sound current or mental current that will clear lower vibrational patterns in the mind that are based in ego and the reactive conditions we normally operate from.

Once you establish a regular , daily meditation practice, many positive health benefits begin to emerge. Your emotions settle, your energy, sleep, mood and physical health improve and maybe most powerfully, you begin to connect to your Higher Self,your spirit and soul energy as the eternal aspect of who you really are beyond your ego and conditioned self. From this connection, we tap into the field of pure consciousness, pure potentiality ,where all things are possible and we discover our deepest truth, our deepest calling to share what we are here to share.

It all starts with making a DAILY COMMITMENT TO SIT and breathe consciously, anchoring into the vibrancy of the present moment. From this space of BALANCE, we journey to the wondrous depths of our souls beauty, just waiting to unfold and find expression in this world. Can you love yourself enough to sow the seeds of health, happiness and an optimal neutral mind by practicing daily meditation? Its my highest intention for you, that you do!

May you have a beautiful Equinox and Fall season of cultivating balance through meditation and an neutral mind.
Om Shanti & Namaste

How To Move From Energetic Overload to Intuitive Thrive

VIBRANT HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK~ How to Respond to Energetic Overload.

Greetings all! These are potent times for sure. The super full moon's energy is still with us and in the coming weeks, on many levels we are being invited to feel and clear old patterns of conditioned behaviors, emotions, memories and energies that are no longer supporting our highest expression of who we authentically are. When we sense we are feeling overloaded and over tired, its a clear message to clear some space within our bodies, minds and spirits for essential , nourishing energy to come in. 

   If you have been feeling pulled in multiple directions at once or feel your mental body is jammed packed with an explosion of information from a multitude of sources or you feel your emotions are bubbling up in your waking hours and through active dream cycles...well welcome to the evolutionary birthing of the TRUE YOU, 2.0 !

  Whether we are attuned to the larger energetic shifts occurring right now on our planet or not, we are all affected and the guidance I can offer is to take practical steps to SOOTHE your nervous system daily,in the next few weeks.
  •  SLOW your pace down.
  •  BREATHE DEEPLY and EXHALE COMPLETELY 
  •  REST MORE,
  •  EAT SUPER NOURISHING, HOMEMADE MEALS of Whole, Organic Foods
  •  HYDRATE WELL
  •  EXERCISE & MOVE YOUR ENERGY PHYSICALLY
  • Take a YOGA class to reconnect to your SACRED BODY TEMPLE
  •  MEDITATE DAILY TO CLEAR MENTAL EXCESS AND CONNECT TO YOUR SOURCE ENERGY OF TRUTH AND AUTHENTICITY 
  • and most importantly be willing to ALLOW YOURSELF TO RECEIVE SUPPORT   
  The time of operating like a 'lone wolf', doing it all on your own to the point of feeling isolated , exhausted  and resentful  is coming to an end. This old pattern of  an uber ,faux ,independance is unsustainable on all levels, personal and global.Our ancestral tribes did not survive by being alone.  We are all inter-dependant with each other and everything is connected.
The time of co-creative collaborating with your Intuitive wisdom and SOURCE as well as opening to relationships with LIKE- SOULED FRIENDS is emerging. The time of division and separation within oneself and projecting those fragmented aspects out onto others is also being pushed to release and integrate all of who we are, shadow and light together. 

The POWER KEY WORDS FOR THIS TIME ARE: Feel, Real, Heal, Authenticity, Allow, Awareness,Receive, Love, Connect, Community, Compassion, Forgiveness, Spirit, Trust and BE!
ASK YOURSELF : What's one habit I can release that no longer serves me? Clear it, be it a memory, an emotion, a cluttered mind or closet.  Make a commitment to your higher Self to make space for that essential core of who you really are to be expressed. The more we courageously release old conditioning, the more we birth ourselves into the truth of our being and connect to the divine purpose of why we are here in the first place.
Blessings for a self soothing day of clearing & making space for your divine self to shine through! Namaste

Feeling JOY

VIBRANT HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK~ Feeling Joy!

Namaste All. It's been a few weeks since I have posted. I gave myself some time to just be present to my life as it was unfolding day to day in the waning weeks of summer and in that time period, the message of JOY kept appearing. I saw it in teachings, books, quotes, and meditations and heard it directly from teachers and healers. I've learned that when a focus appears in your awareness multiple times in multiple ways, its best to take notice! The universe is communicating with you on something that has significance for your evolving soul. JOY.

Can you name 3 things that give you JOY? And when was the last time you experienced any of these things? Is your day to day life deprived of JOY? If so, you are disconnected from the wisdom of your Spirit and suffering from living soley from the realm of ego which can leave us overtime feeling isolated, stressed and joyless.

JOY is the highest expression of your Spirit. within the vibration scale of energy, JOY even resonates at a frequency higher than the heart! JOY is a form of deep self care and deep self love. When you feel JOY, you bring vitality to your emotional body and your emotional body responds with feelings of optimism, well being and vibrancy.

I feel most JOYFUL when I practice YOGA. It's my passion to practice , evolve my consciousness and share my experiences with others that feel called to awaken their intuitive spirit and live in alignment with their higher Self. My daily YOGA is my path to tapping into Spirit and JOY is the expression of that spirit. My dharma is to bring that level of opportunity for others to connect or reconnect to their essential source of Being, their JOY. Being in alignment with your truth ,your dharma, what you were born to do is the ultimate JOY.

Look around, we are surrounded by joyless faces at times, joyless news of the globe, joyless perspectives on life. These are telltale signs of a serious breach from your Spirit which is aligned with what is most true and meaningful for your individual soul. Negativity is not the practice of your Spirit. Negativity is the realm of the ego and a projects a belief of separation. Truth is the expression of your Spirit and JOY is a reflection of your conscious connection to your Spirit.

So I suggest, if you have been feeling on the joyless side of experiences, give yourself a SOUL SUPPLEMENT and connect this week daily with something that gives you JOY! This will serve to lighten your heart, connect to your intuitive Spirit and nurture the path of living in the flow of life which at its source is benevolent and good. The quickest way to connect to JOY is to SMILE.

SO... what brings you JOY? I would love to hear from you. Post your comments below and lets inspire each other to tap into the healing energy of JOY each day!
Its a JOY to speak with you! Namaste and Blessings for a JOYFUL week.
