In my previous blog, “Yoga: A Practical Solution to Existential Problems” dated June 24, 2011 I explained why I recommend yoga to my clients and what are the benefits both physically and spiritually.  I refer you back to that blog.  Because I find myself having this same conversation with callers nearly every day, I decided to go ahead and post the links to “Principles of Private Practice” where my teacher, Mark Whitwell, demonstrates how to do the simple breathing and movement exercises that you can do at home:

I would prefer to teach you in person but since that is not possible, please follow the above links.  If you practice this yoga every day, even for just 7 minutes, I promise you will get results.  So, enjoy!  Any questions, please call me. 

Love & Blessings,

It takes courage, perseverance and a great deal of hope to set out on such a journey. Exploration can be intimidating or downright scary, whether you’re setting out to discover a new world or if you’re forgoing self-discovery, going inward with your exploration. To navigate the inner workings of your consciousness takes a strong compass and sturdy hand, but the navigation is a necessary step in the journey of life.

Ideas on How to Start Your Self-Exploration

1. Start Journaling. Keep a journal by your bed or in your purse or car and jot your feelings, thoughts, dreams into it. This is a great way to reflect and revisit yourself.

2. Meditate. Whether this means doing yoga or finding time within your busy day to sit quietly, calming the mind and body, meditation allows you to look inward.

3. Reflect. Think back on times when you were upset, happy, scared, anxious and try to think what caused these feelings. By reflecting on past actions and feelings, you can get to the route of them.

4. Do for you. Find things that make you happy and make sure you incorporate them into your daily or weekly schedule. Happiness comes from within and finding it will be key in your journey.

What will you discover today?

With the strain of the economy coupled with the concerns of the job market and world affairs, we’re all looking for ways to relax and keep our minds clear of stress and anxiety. Meditation is a great way to calm the mind and create a sense of solace and peace. In fact, more and more physicians are strongly suggesting meditation and yoga as a tool to reduce, prevent and control pain associated with chronic illnesses. The mind is a tool which allows us to process our day-to-day affairs and creates a vehicle of expression when communicating with others. However, sometimes the mind has a tendency to over analyze our day-to-day activities and produce drama and trauma that can wreak havoc and upset on our daily routines. Meditation can help you manage your mindset and approach to life.

To become a meditator, you need not own crystals, live on the West Coast or subscribe to New Age magazines. Meditation is “a mental bubble bath”. In fact, most of us have experienced meditation without even knowing it. How many times have we had that “special feeling” of oneness with our surroundings? Maybe it was a beautiful sunset, or watching ocean waves, feeling every motion, every sound as if we were part of the wave. Both are mesmerizing and rejuvenating. This illustrates that there is no one approved method of meditation. Just trust yourself and learn to discover a method best suited to your personality and life goals. All you need is a sincere desire to meditate and understand the value of centering to produce incredible results.

Meditation doesn’t require burning incense or contorting our bodies! As Westerners we did not learn to sit in lotus pose or even cross-legged for that matter. There are many other positions and alternatives that are quite acceptable for meditation. You could sit (in a chair or on the floor), stand, walk or lay down. Perhaps your approach involves movement of the whole body, fingers, or arms, walking, dancing, or chanting and the use of a mantra. Many forms of meditation are based upon the awareness of breath. Through your practice of meditation and the different forms and styles, you will find the one right for you.

Now all that is left to do is set time aside each day to reflect, relax and meditate. By creating a daily practice, you can expect to achieve greater clarity in your life. If you are finding it difficult to squeeze in some time each day, consider this, if you can sit for at least 8 minutes, after all, that is the television viewing time for a program, before a commercial comes on the air, you will be amazed by life changing results meditation offers.

Psychic Source presents… A brief history of Meditation.

No one knows when meditation really began, it has no certified origin but it is believed it was practiced by the hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago.

In 3000-2000 B.C. in the Vedic Tradition, meditation is described in the ancient Hindu texts and has been a part of Hinduism and its many offshoots ever since.

588 B.C. Prince Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment after meditating under a banyan tree. As a result Buddhism in all its many forms exists today.

2nd Century A.D. – Christian Meditation, the Desert Fathers, a group of early Christian monks retreated from the world to live in simplicity. Meditation by the Desert Fathers was used to get closer to God for more than 1,000 years afterwards. As a result, meditation would become an important part of Christian practice.

More than 10 million North Americans practice mediation on a regular basis, twice the number a decade ago. Meditation is becoming more mainstream and the non-mediators are becoming the minority.

It seems that everyone is on a diet nowadays. Low Carbohydrate—Atkins diet, South Beach Diet—all you hear is “diet” this and diet that no carb this and no carb that.

What I can tell you is that “diets” don’t work! How do I know? Why am I an expert? Because I have probably been on every diet known to the human race and always seem to be perpetually trying to lose the same 10 pounds. If I think back I probably have lost close to 100 lbs. by now and it’s still the same 10 pounds. But I found a secret to unlocking the weight loss struggle. YOGA!!

How does yoga help with weight loss? By allowing you to focus on the emotional reasons and gain (pardon the pun) an understanding of eating and the consequences of what you are eating.

You need to look at your own personal values and make a list of what feels good to you so you will feel in harmony with your life. Yoga creates a vehicle of allowing you to use your mind in a focused practice of visualization and meditation by self-acceptance of who you are and your body by using the various postures (asanas) with the breath to increase flexibility and strength and your spirit which helps promote and support a new way of thinking and balance in your life.

While it is important to look at what you eat it is just as important to look at what you say to yourself and how it impacts on your own self-image. One of the reasons of having a fine exercise program or lifestyle way of eating is to keep the body functioning so well that it doesn’t have to enter your thoughts.

Why not try a new way of looking at your weight loss regime and allow yourself to put you back in control of your body, your attitude towards weight loss and your eating habits. Give yoga a try!
