Mental Blocks

The craziest thing about EFT, yoga, meditation and my whole experience thus far is that I've noticed a lot of limiting belief systems and sabotaging mindsets start to fall away. It's amazing to me that things that I never would have thought possible just 6 months ago are starting to happen for me. I'm getting to space in my life where I truly believe that anything is possible. I know that may sound corny but it's totally true. I can see throughout my lifetime how many times I've gotten in the way of my own self and it's mind-boggling why I didn't see it before. But then again, there were so many other things in the way, fear, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and a host of other emotions that were stopping me from moving clearly ahead. Today the sun is shining, the blue sky is out in full force, and I really feel like my tomorrows will have silver linings in their future. I just have to keep doing what I'm doing and I'll succeed in whatever I put my mind to!

Another Day With EFT

I just finished my daily round of EFT, using the same video links as I posted yesterday on my blog. It's crazy how much these videos can affect my mood. If I'm feeling down, they give me an instant boost of confidence and energy to constantly evolve into my better self. My yoga practice was revealing as well, because today was the first time in a long time that I actually felt that different areas of my body the seemed out of alignment. It's like I'm going deep within my body and into the caverns of my spirit slowly putting everything right with each passing practice. It's great to know that I'm tighter on my left side then my right in some asanas and just the opposite in some others. I have this wonderfully positive feeling that all my internal quirks will work themselves out eventually and I'll be a more balanced individual over all. I'm looking forward to it!

April Fool's Day

The results from the chakra test are in! I'm excited to find that all of my chakras are open. The root chakra is open 44%, the navel chakra (solar plexus) is open 25%, the throat is open 56%, the third eye 69% and the sacral, heart and crown chakras are a little over-active respectively at 75% each. So I guess I got a little carried away with imagining the colors orange, green and purple, or maybe my chakras are just finding their own balance. At any rate there is a marked improvement from last month. I do feel different; more in control of my body and soul. Today I challenged my self to the first day of 10 minutes or more of EFT! Below are three EFT sequences that I did today. I plan to do at least 10 minutes of tapping per day until May 1st which is probably 2 or 3 different EFT videos daily. I already feel worlds better. It's amazing what such a simple process can do !in terms of mental and emotional health. I'm going to continue with my yoga and meditation daily to enhance my life. I am learning so much from this process every single day.

Finish Line?

31 days of yoga! I made it! I'm giving my self a congratulatory pat on the back, but I'm nowhere near the mark of where I know I can be. I've made it to my temporary goal, but this is merely a landmark on my path to enlightenment. It's an incredible feeling to have made it this far. I feel a lot like jumping for joy! April 1st -- Fool's Day, as promised I will re-take my chakra test. Tomorrow will also mark the first day of my EFT Challenge. I will practice at least 10 minutes of EFT for self-improvement everyday for the month of April in an attempt to remove any blocks I might still have surrounding my success and life-goals and free myself to move ahead in a stronger and more sure direction. I have no problem with acknowledging that after this yoga challenge, I feel different somehow; more self-assured, at peace, and centered. This doesn't mean I'm going to slack one bit in my yoga practice. If anything, I'm going to attack it with even more vigor. I'm looking at 11 more months until my ultimate goal of yoga everyday for 1 year. I'm confident that I can do it 1 day at a time. I'm pacing myself and settling in for the long-haul!

Easing the Reins...

Today was the first day of practice that I really felt I could flow into it with a truer natural grace. They say that it takes 30 days to form a or break a habit. I will attest to this fact from personal experience. My practice of yoga has deepened to such an extent that I don't think my day would feel whole and real without it. Ditto for my blog postings. Along with forming the positive habit of practicing yoga, in accordance with the yogi lifestyle I am breaking a lot of bad habits as well, such as my predilection for chocolates and sweet things, and the physical exertion and deep breathing exercises are increasing my thirst and therefore served to up my daily water intake. Little by little more fresh fruits and veggies are finding their way to my palate and I'm learning to deal with everyday stresses in a more positive manner. In short, the effect that just this one good habit has had on my health in 30 days is immense! Now I feel more comfortable in my own skin during practice and my body is relaxing into each pose with a familiarity I haven't before experienced. This has allowed me to loosen up considerably both physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. My mind is becoming a mirror of my body. Or is it the other way around? The beauty of it, is that I can no longer tell. All I know is that with each measured exhalation I release a bit of hard stuck granite from my soul every single day.

3 More Days!

In just 3 more days my current challenge will be over. I'm really excited about the benefits I've gained from my regular yoga practice and isochronic meditation thus far. My goal right now is to add on at least 30 minutes of supplementary cardio to bolster my strength and flexibility and round out my exercise routine even more. It's amazing how my attitude about working out has morphed into a whole new animal. I'll have to say that I'm stronger and much more flexible then ever and it's incredible how calm I am under stressful situations that would normally either ruin my whole day or make me anxious. With a new month just around the corner, I am eager to make even more strides in my daily practice and to deepen my understanding of the way my mind and body works as a compliant unit. The more that they work together the better I can rejuvenate my entire spirit!

Yoga Addict

For some reason today I was obsessed with the correct form of of my poses. I would stop at random times during the day when I had a break and fall into an asana. My favorite pose of the day to get into was Triangle Pose. I was beginning to think I was a little absurd, but that certainly didn't stop me from trying out a not so graceful Standing Forward Bend, or getting up from my computer to stretch out my tired limbs strong and tall in Mountain Pose. Ahhhh my upper and mid-back thanked me all day long for that one. And when I wasn't off-handedly practicing poses, I was thinking about them. Saying to myself, 'I wonder if I'm my Cobbler's Pose was executed correctly during my practice this morning?' Or ' maybe I could've gotten just a little bit more extension out my downward facing dog?' Tomorrow I'll calm down and go back to normal, I promise myself. OK. Just one more Mountain Pose...
