Grounding & Growing

After a several week sabbatical from my blog, I am back with the new direction this blog will take for the remainder of the year. 

Join me in a Grounding & Growing Journey.  
Break down the barriers to knowing your true self, inside and out!!!

When we lose sight of ourselves an imbalance occurs.
Yoga allows for a way to balance the physical, spiritual, emotional & mental parts of what makes us who we are.  It is also an excellent engineering of the body to release tension.

Let's begin with tuning into this truly incredible body machine we have been gifted in this lifetime. No matter what the chatter already is going on inside your head,  "My body isn't..., if only I could..., why can't I..."  Blah blah blah .... 
This is a process like taking a trip and we must realize it takes time to get from one place to another. 
This journey is applicable with any scenario in life.  If you are standing at the 1st Tee at the beginning of a tournament or just your Sunday foursome, if you are starting your day at school, if you are facing an important presentation  at work, or if you are dealing with a health issue, all are applicable.  Doesn't matter what the scenario is, this journey is a way to tap into your most confident true self and face the occasion with kindness and clarity towards yourself. 

(1st).   We must honor what is here to start our process.    Find a way to fit this into your daily routine so maybe as you stand in front of the mirror as you brush your teeth.   Have a timer there and for 2 extra minutes 2x's a day, give yourself the gift of plugging in, connecting with awareness of self.  Yes, this is a process... be patient and come take this journey into your being.  
Stand with your eyes closed,  start becoming aware of how you are breathing.  Notice the cool air hit your nostrils as you inhale and the warmth you feel as the air leaves your nostrils.                                                                        IN & OUT ...  IN & OUT ...  IN & OUT...
~Choose to inhale, do not breath simply to exist~

YES

(2nd).  Start to become aware of your body.  How are your feet standing on the ground.  Inhale and as you exhale, drop your chin to your chest and look down.   Your feet are your grounding foundation as you are standing here. Which direction are they pointing?  Are they heading the same direction or is the right foot going somewhere different then the left?  Become your own personal observer.   

 “What wants to happen here now?”

Take the courageous challenge to do this for a week.  
One week, 4 extra minutes a day!

And the journey begins ....
Check back next week to see what is next along the journey

Much love & kindness coming to you from me.
