The start of a New Year is a perfect time to set intentions for your life in the year to come. You can write, draw, sketch some of the things you want to manifest. Make them believable, real...so that you can actually picture yourself doing them. Then, you may just start to take action to make them become reality. Post them somewhere you can see them regularly. Happy 2016! Thank you as always for reading.
Visualization can be an incredibly powerful way to manifest what we want in our lives. I have seen experienced this in my life in a variety of ways. When I used to run track in high school, I would picture myself winning the race, and then my body would follow the intention that my mind sent: and most of the time that vision would come to fruition. I did the same during labors of my two children. As my soccer coach used to say, the game (and this applies to many things) is 90% mental, 10% physical. If you believe, it will come. If you don't believe.. well you can guess the next part.
I think many of us do not realize the effects that the not believing part can have on manifesting what we don't want. I have been working on this for years now. "Worrying is just using your imagination to bring about what you don't want," or something to that effect.
If we can learn to monitor our thoughts, and recognize if they are negative at the very least, then we can put them in check and re-frame them in the positive, to bring about what we do want.
I have come to understand that part of my role is to serve as a bridge between various worlds. Between one world of those who seek out spiritual nourishment, through yoga, meditation, etc, and between another of those who feel as if these practices are not "for them." Because they are too busy and have other priorities, or because they have always viewed spirituality as inaccessible to them for whatever reason. We are missing a connection between these two worlds. We need to translate the language of those in one world to the language of those in the other. But what might resonate with those in the world most of us live in day to day? Maybe we don't call yoga yoga, but just "stretching." And maybe we call meditation just "silence." Maybe it is just as simple as asking people who have never quieted their thinking mind what might it take for them to try it.
Many of us, especially in the capitalist United States, know deep down that we are meant to do something more than our jobs that cause us stress and frustration; we know that we are more than our daily routines. But many of us do not know how to break out of these patterns in our lives. Our brains become wired to these patterns and bring us back every time to what is familiar, like a cruel joke. It takes a jolt, maybe, and an opening (even a small one) to a new way of being, to achieve what our soul really longs for us to become.
