Good morning beautiful humans, namaste
Is there something holding you back from reaching your full potential?
Is there something you want, but never seem to get there?
Did you know that this begins inside you?
We get very confused about the purpose of life. Yoga helps to dissolve our confusion and promote clarity.
Fear, self-doubt, habitual patterns - for example putting others first, or plain old procrastination are all blocks to moving forward.
These blocks are usually deep-rooted in childhood experiences. They are ways we learned to behave to cope with the circumstances we faced. This is not about blame. Blame is pointless, and keeps us victim.
Awareness & Accountability are key.
We can be accountable when we have matured emotionally.
With awareness & commitment to ourselves to do the work, we can release these blocks.
It doesn't just happen, we must do the work.
We are supported by the Universe to do this.
This week's powerful Full Moon in Sagitarius has helped us release old impressions that hold us back. However, it's not a given, we get a choice, we must choose this path in order to progress.
Do we choose our old ways?
Or choose a new path?
The choice is yours.
Telling ourselves that we know enough to make sure we don’t make the same ‘mistakes’ as we have for lifetimes, yet, without understanding the roots or changing certain behaviours won't work, believe me, I have tried it!
Heather Ensworth of the Rising Moon Healing Centre, explains that we have been living the same trauma-patterns for 5,000 years.
Are you following in the footsteps of your ancestors?
This week was me breaking one of my habitual patterns.
Putting others first.
I love creating opportunities for others, here in Goa, small businesses for women - a thrift shop, tiffin service, wellness centre, jobs for young people, education, training, enrichment and so on. I spend a lot of my valuable time on this beautiful vocation of mine and it brings me a lot of joy.
However, I was missing the opportunities I needed for myself. Too focused externally on the needs of others, those of you that are CODA may resonate with this. It’s a wonderful quality, when balanced with lashings of self-compassion.
For compassion for others without self-compassion is unhealthy, and actually a form of self-harm.
So, this week I created some opportunities for myself, instilled some commitment to them and in doing this, I helped others relax, inspired my beautiful team of ladies, and created a new, light energy. It felt wonderful.
When we step into our balanced masculine – doing energy, and feminine – being energy, things flow, trust the process.
Being open, not forcing
Being accepting, not grasping
Taking risks, not being reckless or too scared to take the step.
Creating opportunities not waiting for something to come along.
The message
Live effortlessly, not with force, move with awareness within the stillness.
