EFT and Kundalini

Today is a day that feels so full of possibilities. I'm still practicing yoga daily along with meditation and I haven't missed a single day thus far. What I've noticed in combining yoga and meditation with EFT is that it is creating a potent power house of personal energy. Today my yoga style of choice was Kundalini. If you've read my earlier blogs you'll know that Kundalini is all about harnessing the energy that is inside your own body stored around your spinal column and awakening that energy; enlivening it to then rise from the base of your spine up to the crown of your head like a snake. Kundalini loosely translates into "serpent energy" or "coiled energy". EFT works when you repeat various affirmations and tap along the acupressure points which relate to your body's meridians or 'energy pathways' and old, stagnant energy is released along with negative thought patterns and emotions. I've found both of these practices to have a synergistic effect, meaning they work really well together as a unit. I'm anxious to see how I'll feel and where I'll be mentally at the end of this month. Come May 1st I think I will do another chakra test just to give my month-long goal a tangible result that is on paper. But deep down inside I know that I really don't even need that. The benefits I'm getting from this are crystal clear to me and I can feel them increasing day by day. It's really amazing when you think about it!

Clearing Resistance

EFT is way of getting past yourself, jumping over the hurdles that you've set up in your own path to sabotage everything that you are trying to accomplish in your life. It's funny how fear and doubts can stop you from gaining your full potential. In particular today I  can really vibe with Brad Yate's Clearing Resistance EFT session. I felt so much lighter and stronger after having done it. It was amazing really. It's only negative thought patterns that get in the way of us really accomplishing what we desire, and the fact that we deny that our most fervent dreams are  possible before we've even tried them out. Whenever I get discouraged in my yoga practice, or in my life, I can just work through my issues with EFT. The more I practice EFT, the more my mindset starts to change. A friend of mine was telling me the other day that now sometimes he doesn't even have to tap, and that it's enough for him to just imagine the effects of tapping for it to become real to him. That's the power of the mind and the potent nature of energy healing for making changes in our psyche. For a free tutorial watch here and free yourself!

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.
