Affirmation Presence:


Todays Affirmation is Presence:

Today I will find myself in the here and now. Try to be as present as you can. The mind is easily pulled out of the now, we fantasies about the future, we reminisce about the past, we anticipate the pain to come or the pain we have had. Here and now is the only meeting place you will find your soul. Today I will not dwell on the past or the future. I will realize I have no need for either the past or the future. Today I will release all ghosts from the past so I can then release all else. I will no longer hold onto pain until it becomes anger. I will no longer hold onto pleasure until it becomes addiction. Today, I will find my soul in the here and now.

Affirmation: Opposition

Todays Affirmation is Opposition:

Do less and accomplish more. Today I will oppose nothing that occurs. I will resist nothing. Evil is a projection of our shadows. By embracing our own shadows we bring the light of awareness to them, by doing this we will diminish the evil in the world. Letting go of opposition is like turning the other cheek, but this makes little sense to the ego, when your ego feels pushed, the "I" inside you wants to push back. Lash out against the attacker. By doing this the cycle of attack and defense never stops. Let the opposition pass either by waiting, leaving or surrendering to the obstacle. Let your soul feel the direction rather then over thinking it, in this way the direction will arise almost magically, "I will resist not evil."

How can you not relate to this one? Especially if you are a reactor.. When you receive an ugly text or phone call, do you take time to feel the right way to respond or feel if there is a need to respond at all?

I have had to do this quite a bit with family obstacles/lessons. My Ego wants to banter immediately.. throw up my defenses, make sure they understood all I had done.. Luckily, I have had alot of practice at this, and yes I have had to get bitten by the snake, or better said, my teacher, many times before I finally replaced old patterns of reaction with new patterns of responding. Responding rather then reacting gives the Ego time to get back in the passengers seat and allow your spirit to move with love. There is a good chance that giving yourself this time will lead you to not responding at all, ENDING THE CYCLE OF ATTACK AND DEFENSE..

Now THAT'S taking the higher road.. OM!

Affirmation Nurturing

Todays Affirmation is Nurturing:

Love others as well as you love yourself. Every situation, conversation, relationship is a mirror of what is going on inside ourselves. So lets begin to see the world as a mirror. Lets nurture the world and everything in it with attention, affection, tenderness, beauty and love. I will pay attention, I will listen without having the need to respond. I will show my nurturing to others through touch, hugs, through body language and eye contact. I will notice the good things in people and share what I think is good in them. Today, I will nurture the world as I nurture myself.

YES! Those of you that know me well know this is affirmation I live by! I can truly see now, and looking back at each story in my life, what was going on internally was a direct correlation to everything happening externally. This branched out to my workplace, my "friends", and the negativity that surrounded me. How could I attract light if I wasn't living/creating from light? I am forever grateful for the lack of light I experienced at different stages of my life for now I see both the light and darkness and have a better understanding how or what attracts both.

Today I can take a look around me and feel, see, and hear love and joy. There is still "darkness" but now my soul understands how to process this differently. I no longer feel the need to judge these situations yet just feel my way through them. I can see that all the relationships, (even the ones that most would perceive to be negative) to be serving their perfect place in my life.

Hug the hurt, kiss the broken, befriend the lost, love the lonely, and begin these steps first for yourself and then your love will mirror out to ALL around you, OM!

Mind Chatter

So many souls take the weight of the world, they hoard the negative, keeping all the pain for themselves, rather then dropping to their knees and surrendering to help, to love. We are all One, the greater the hold on suffering, the weaker we are as a unite. When we come to our knees, surrender the pain, we transform it to love. All of our creation becomes more authentic, supreme, and holds truth. 


Creation stemmed from our greatest truth holds everlasting shifts of love. Once this truth takes root we begin to dance in love, speak in love, our actions become rooted in love.  We notice that any action not rooted in love take an exhausting toll on our spirit, weighing us down. When we begin to live with this awareness, we begin to notice everything around us changing. 


Those of you that have already awakened to this journey know this all to well. Those of you just beginning this idea of creating through love are possibly feeling the beginning stages of this pull on the heart, and then there are those that are questioning why in the world would these silly yogis want to shake their lives up so much!? 


Today, it is my Truth that we must shake things up, over and over again. One thing we can count on is ALL is ever changing. We should do our best to draw most of our happiness from self love. If the love we have for ourselves is not authentic, how can we authentically create from love or truly love others? 


Try to ask for help a little more, surround yourself with people that empower your growth, accept you for where you are, but more importantly where your going. As you learn to think and create on your own this journey can appear lonely. Don't worry, in this way you can become your own best friend and chilling by yourself with your thoughts, feelings, and creation becomes a gift. All the people around you will begin to see a humbled sense of confidence, self love, and extreme peace.. And they to will want it. 


Empowering yourself truly empowers everyone around you!!

Todays Affirmation: Mindfulness

Affirmation: Mindfulness: Mindfulness=Ever present witnessing awareness. It is stillness where we find ourselves. I will use my power wisely and I will respect my power. This affirmation is also about taking responsibility. Envision a crowd of people standing out in front of you, now look over all the faces looking up at you and say, "I will use my power wisely".  In this promise you acknowledge your roll in EVERYONES healing.  As you go through your day be mindful of your awareness. Sometimes it will be restless and active, other times it will be still within itself. You will be the observer. This is who we really are, activity comes and goes but the observer is steady and ever present. As you begin to become more comfortable with the observer you will be less attached to things that change. Today, I will use my thoughts wisely and respect their power.
