Believe in Yourself - Step into Your Authentic Purpose

It's important to see yourself as the successful person you are striving to be. Don't wait for the future. Find that greatness in you now and project it into your attitude. When you do, you will have brought the future into the moment. 

If you keep struggling in business and act like a novice, others will treat you as such. Take attitude that allows others to know you believe and know what you're doing, and they'll believe too. When you love what you do, you enjoy what you do, and others are always attracted to love and joy. This attracts support from others and helps you to keep going. 

To find your purpose take time - please don't be in a rush - you can't make it happen; it must unfold. Don't hold on to what wants to go; let it go. Life is taking you someplace you need to be. Stop fighting the process and surrender to your path. See everything as a gift and a chance to get stronger. Fear is nothing but a place you feel there is no love. Go there and bring love with you. You are the torch that brings the light. 

When you can create your dream in the dark, not just in the light, when you can put it together with what you have, instead of the perfect parts, you will be a master creator. To be a master of anything you must be able to do it with the bare essentials, anyone can do it if everything is there, perfect and abundant. 

You must be able to keep going when things don't fall into place, when you get criticized for what you believe in, or when the world doesn't recognize your talent or your truth. 

Are you there for YOU? Do you support YOURSELF?   

I invite you to take some time to reflect on what arises for your over this weekend, as the Sun is in Freedom-loving Aquarius and the Moon continues to wane from Truth-seeking Libra into Surrender-inspiring Scorpio. These astrological energetic combinations can prove to be deep, intense, immensely healing, and expansive... Just remember; if we believe in ourselves, we can attain our soul's purpose and gain the strength and confidence to birth our unique gifts forth into the world! 

May you become through practice all that you are in potential. Peace, love and light. Namaste. 

SURRENDER into the natural rhythm of your practice with strength and grace.

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to share what I love in such a naturally healing setting such as the beautiful desert southwest!

 

In Dr. Donald Epstein's book "Healing Myths: Healing Magic" he contends the myth which states that 'healing takes a lot of work and requires full commitment' and then explains that healing is easy, effortless, and natural. 

Healing is natural and spontaneous, but an inability to experience our body with confidence and trust can hinder the healing process. 

Our body attempts to heal itself by releasing what it no longer needs - physically, chemically, emotionally, or energetically - but often our intellect tries to resist or stop this process. 

By surrendering to the natural rhythm and flow of life, we step into the natural rhythm and flow of healing. 

The spiritually wise and greatly inspiring poet Rumi offered this piece, which elegantly depicts this concept of gracefully surrendering to what naturally is without the need to alter the process in any way. 

"Joseph is back.

And if you don't feel in yourself

The freshness of Joseph,

Be Jacob.

Weep and then smile.

Do not pretend to know something

You have not experienced.

There is a necessary dying,

Then Jesus is breathing again.

Very little grows on jagged rock.

Be ground.  Be crumbled.

So wild flowers will come up

Where you are.

You have been stony for too many years.

Try something different.  Surrender."

Rumi completes this passage with such an empowering statement.

"You have been stony for too many years.

Try something different.  Surrender."

Most of us have a terrible time with surrender.  We may think of it as weakness.  We may imagine that it means being out of control.  We are correct on both accounts.  It is an admission of weakness - or an inability to "make" things happen in our lives.  It is also a release of the "idea" of being in control - when in reality, we have never been in control at all.  Control is an illusion. Thus we are confounded by the outrageous words of the poet who asks us, even directs us, to try something different. That kind of different, to the conventional mind, is absurd. 

Try something different.  Try.  Something.  Different. Surrender.

I invite you to try something different. I invite you to join me in a practice where I will meet you where you are and guide you into that space of deep, healing power within - where you can finally let go of all that is keeping you stuck in a space of disease. Try something different. Join me on this healing yoga journey and surrender into the natural rhythm and flow of life, and step into the natural rhythm and flow of your healing path.
