Soften What is Rigid In Your Heart

Posted by Teena Evert on January 5, 2012 None comments

Alexander Graham Bell said, “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”

I love this quote,  because I have been paralyzed by many doors that closed behind me and in front of me – I wasn’t able to move through the doors that were opening all around me.

Once I was able to free up the energy that was stuck behind the closed door – I was able to set a clear intention of which open door I wanted to go through. When I was stuck in between I was paralyzed in fear.

Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.   ~B.K.S. Iyengar

Last Autumn passed my Introductory I Assessment in the Iyengar Yoga Tradition. It was a great experience. It stretched me in ways that I didn’t know I could stretch myself in my body, mind, emotions, and spirit.

The practice of yoga in the Iyengar Method gave me the structure to move towards the open door with clear intentions and the freedom to walk through with grace.

Fear can be a great motivator if you are not paralyzed by it – fear and excitement can often sit side-by-side. If you embrace the fear, rather than resist it, you will move closer towards the vibration of excitement. They work together – stretch you to go beyond what you may believe are your limitations.

Enjoy your life……..it is not always easy, but it doesn’t have to be hard. Learn to soften what is rigid in your heart.

 

Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one’s being, from bodily health to self realization. Yoga means union – the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skill in the performance of one’s actions. ~ B.K.S. Iyengar

The Year for Asking

Happy New Year 2012!

What do you have planned for welcoming in the New Year?  What is your personal message for 2012? For me, this is the year to master the task of asking for what I want.

Sounds simple doesn’t it? Do you believe ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE….if you dare to ask?

Well first I need to get in touch with what it is that I want. I have to master absolute clarity, which is true and consistent power.

“You can’t ask for what you want unless you know what it is. A lot of people don’t know what they want or they want much less than they deserve. First you have to figure out what you want. Second, you have to decide that you deserve it. Third, you have to believe you can get it. And, fourth, you have to have the guts to ask for it.” – Barbara De Angelis

The forecast for 2012 is that it is going to be a busy year!  To begin I’ll make a list of 101 Wishes, perhaps this will steer me in the direction of getting more of what I want in life. This is the year for asking and before you can ask for something, you have to know what it is that you want and you have to believe it is possible to get it.

So I am off to get started……..and excited for a new beginning and the opportunity to consider my wishes in life and share them with the universe.

Would you like to join me?  Make a list of your 101 Wishes (be as specific as possible) and let’s see what happens next.

Cheers to a new year!
