Life In Yoga

Life is beautiful, its a powerful journey filled with so many possibilities for everything and anything we can imagine. But how or when do we know we are “on the path”? And what is “being on the path”? What does it mean?

I can think of many moments in the timeline of my life where I thought I was somewhat aligned until I had the sweet experience of growth and realized there is something more, something better, something “higher” …. I now know we call this ascension. A space-time of ascension isn’t only celestial but it also is when we level-up. We ascend to the next layer or level of consciousness. We learn something new and move up. Once the mind learns something, it knows it and cannot un-know it.. It ascends. …Life IS beautiful.

So how do we know we are doing good? And who gauges this? Who do we answer to? Who’s the Grand Judge?? … I’ve asked myself these questions. There are moments when the multidimensional Self is very apparent and we receive answers to these BIG fabulous questions. It is clear, it is all there, nothing is hidden, only when the Ego is in charge life seems flat and one-dimensional. This is when having a yoga practice is helpful.

In the beginning of my -lets call it spiritual activation – I thought the concept of having a yoga practice meant going to a yoga class and .. you know, buying the mat, the clothes and taking a class or 2, and for that hour or hour and a half I would breathe, stretch and let my mind flow. And yes, this is how it starts and what we get when we take a yoga class, but there is so much more! Yoga isn’t only going to a studio to learn the difficult poses and over stretching the body to its limits while pushing through pain, yoga is So Much More. While the actual physical practice of moving through a set of asanas is yoga, Yoga Is Life. What we learn in the Shala (the studio, the sacred place of practice) and apply it to daily life, that is Yoga. Learning to stretch the body AND the mind is Yoga, being flexible in the body AND in life is Yoga. Learning to listen to the voices of the Self, the many facets, the many layers of the Being, this is Yoga. Feeling compassion towards oneself and working at being the best friend possible to self, this is Yoga. Being in the integrity of one’s word is living in Yoga. Following a code of ethics and approaching each moment with kindness… or at least the awareness of it, this is Yoga.

When we’re out in the world, moving from thing to thing, talking to people, driving our car from here to there, eating, listening, waiting in line..any line, how we approach the moment, that is Yoga.

Yoga is the moment we make the choice to be conscious during an experience. Yoga is how we handle ourselves right before we handle ourselves. It is the pause before we speak, the opportunity to listen before jumping to conclusion, it is the moment we choose to think before we have an impulsive reaction, it is stopping the words we might regret saying before saying them, it is the ability to find stillness during the busiest moment of the day just to say “hey..” to yourself and take a deep breath.

Its not about being perfect, if there’s such a thing. Its about growth. Its about having the awareness of Consciousness living in the body/mind temple and approaching life from there.

We all have moments of impulsive reactions, thoughts, and choices… Yoga is when we practice at being less impulsive and more purpose-full and deliberate about the actions we take.

Often times people think because they see a yoga teacher they assume this person is exempt from the madness life can sometimes bring, like we have cleared ourselves off of life challenges; some people perceive a yogi as untouched by difficult situations …. Nobody is exempt. If you are here and you are made of flesh, have a heartbeat and a thinking mind, you are on the path just as all the rest. Wahe Guru!

The beauty of it all is that we are having an individual life experience all together, mish-mashed in the same place, living within the paradigms of the One Consciousness but creating totally unique and individual experiences.

It is all about me.

It is all about you.

Have you ever, dear reader, visited a yoga studio and experienced a yoga class? A group meditation? A moment where you are with your thoughts and get to observe (not judge or criticize) the mind. Have you ever given yourself the gift of suspending yourself in the space of the Neutral Mind to just observe life as it is, to just witness yourself from almost an outside-of-yourself place … but in fact being so much in-yourself you are One with Self?

Have you my friend considered putting yourself in this wholey space? If you have not, I invite you to.

Whatever it is, take it to the mat and leave it on the mat. As a gift to yourself, merge in the Naam, the humming of your Beingness, beyond the wild active mind.

Yoga means union, they say

Yoga is the opportunity to be so much your self you are all, you are The All

My humble opinion is Yoga is Being. Yoga is Living. Yoga is finding yourself in the Self and witnessing Life, as it is, as you are. You Are. I Am

With Love

Discover 5 Sweet Ways To Love Your Yoni

Have you ever considered the possibility of opening the doors of the stream of abundance by taking care of your Yoni? If it sounds crazy to you then you are in for a sweet surprise! 🙂

For hundreds of years women have been placed in a space where we are either tagged as too hot or too cold. I say adios! to the “ice queen” and “promiscuous easy girl” labels. I Am Goddess, and it is my responsibility, and mine alone, to make sure I live a happy and healthy life.

Most people in the world connect healing with medication, doctors and/or hospitalization …at least in the West and in what I like to call the “old world”. Fortunately, many folks nowadays who live in the “new world” have awoken to the idea of living a healthy life by having a good, happy, resistance-free lifestyle. This was the hook for me. After spending a long life taking unpleasant medicine and undergoing uncomfortable and highly intrusive doctor visits and medical treatments, the discovery of pleasurable treatments and achieving wellness from an organic and kind point of perspective has brought much joy to my life. But it didnt seem that way at first. I literally took the path of healing by taking tiny baby steps, having experienced the western medicine rollercoaster, until the opportunity to journey through the path of self-healing presented itself to me, then the holistic healing modalities started to appear to me for what they really are and I approached them with much joy and open-heartedness.

So I walked the path of meditation and yoga, and learned so much from the Witches at Wicca School and then the Ministry, and all the great teachers and teachings … all a bundle of Light that filled me and showed me how to transmute burdens into butterflies.

And then I discovered the importance of loving my yoni, the importance of creating the space for all the necessary transmutations within the realm of the Sacral Chakra. This was absolutely incredible, the high level of self healing it provided me was surreal. I never thought I would see and feel life the way I do. Doors began to open and platforms started to come up for me to unveil more of this yummy knowledge. In 2008 I signed up for an online course with The Yin Project, and this not only brought me to a place of deep connection with myself but gave me an amazing sense of freedom and strength, and allowed me to find other great avenues to tap into and discover, like goddess gatherings, and transformative training like Jade Healing, Sexy Revolution, Sisters Yoni, The Magdalene, WombMagic and a few others. I was on a mission, I attended tele-conferences and seminars and workshops and the more I learned the more I wanted to discover. It was a brand new world for me. …although, on a personal level the emotional healing was slow and for a while a bit stagnant, coming from a Catholic family (not too religious but enough to go to Catholic school) all this was very taboo. Then I realized I needed to bring my awareness back to the roots, back to basics, and with all I now knew, start over. And I did.

With the experience, the appreciation and the respect for the practice of Yoni love I am very pleased to introduce my personal 5 favorite sweet ways to nurture my yoni on a regular basis, and what keeps me super joyful, tapped in, tuned on and plugged in to the electrifying loving consciousness of Goddess and to Source Energy Magnetism.

5 Sweet Ways To Care For Your Yoni

1. Yoni Talk & Meditation

Talk to your Yoni often, ask her how she’s feeling, tell her how much you love her and how much you appreciate her for all she does in your partnership in life. Our Yonis are like plants, very connected to the thread of life by a divine filament of light which enables us to connect a soul with a body. All of our creations are born within the Yoni realm, not just humans. So to make sure your life is the dream you visualize you must be tapped into Yoni Power and create from there. Begin your creations by talking with your Yoni. Let this moment become a meditation where you activate a sacred vortex for you and Yoni to breathe together and heal together.

2. Water Splash

While the rest of the body feels delicious after the skin has had a yummy layer of soap suds, the yoni doesn’t. A simple splash of fresh water does the trick every time, keeping the yoni clean. Our yoni’s natural lubrication does a wonderful job at cleanliness and stimulation, working on those special areas that allow the body and mind of goddess to be connected and aligned with Gaia’s magnetic field. It also maintains the cosmic electrical connection alive allowing us to be tapped in to our desires and able to create them on this plane. Too much soap, specially those made with chemical and un-natural ingredients clog the pores, glands and outlets for processing vital energy.

3. Yoga & Awareness

A short but good stretch every morning and/or evening can carry you through a wonderful day. The skin that composes the yoni area contains muscles, fibers and magnetism, just as much as the rest of the body, and because it is a predominantly “hidden area” it is extra sensitive to external stimulation. This helps it serve one of its many healing purposes. To keep the yoni skin and overall area activated and ready for a wonderful moment of high stimulation, which brings extraordinary creative potential, it is a good idea to stretch the body daily. Goddess Bliss Moon Salutations is a great way to stretch the body, align with your inner goddess and activate yoni power

4. Yoni Steam Bath

Practicing yoni steam can change a woman’s life tremendously. Preparing an herbal steam bath will bring your female body and the wisdom of plant medicine into alignment, reconnecting you to your feminine divinity. The benefits of this technique are many and are acknowledged by the global movement of women’s holistic health and wellness. It serves to fortify the womb; removes toxins from the body; increases fertility; helps reduce pain or discomfort when experiencing dryness or pain after sexual intercourse; reduces pre-menstrual pain, regulates menstrual cycle; it is a wonderful healing presence for post-natal care working towards healing vaginal tear, episiotomy and/or C-section; treats fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis; helps treat hemorrhoids, chronic vaginal yeast infections; super helpful with symptoms of menopause; and allows the release of old emotional patterns for the recoding of a new refreshed you to emerge 🙂

5. Healing Through Pleasure

There are many ways to give pleasure to our yoni so that we may activate our inner goddess power, unlock our creative goddess potential and bring forth the ultimate super-joyful experience of life we want to live. Giving our yoni a massage is a great way of stimulating our senses because it helps release backed up stress, pent up tension and unnecessary stagnant thought and emotional patterns, leaving our vessel clean and clear ready to radiate its purest light essence. You will find that your intuition will spike up, your meditation space will be clearer and stillness will become easier to reach. Your ability to breathe longer and deeper will also activate and your master glands will begin to decalcify, bringing in a juicy awakening and heightened awareness.

Love Your Yoni and you will unfold an incredible magical vortex.

After this heart-opening journey I’ve compiled an amazing treatment – for goddesses only – that I’ve named Goddess Bliss. It includes aromatherapy massage and reflexology, a wide array of Reiki techniques, hot stones detox …and YOM, Yoni Orgazmic Massage.

Work, Rest, Play & Reiki

Living in the Light of Reiki has been a delicious journey. Its allowed me to be open to many great ideals and has brought me to meeting great teachers of all walks of life. Some spiritual, some religious and some that are neither. It has assisted me in learning so much more about myself and shown me that I am a new person each day, an emerged Being of Light with every new dawn. As a Reiki practitioner with over 10 years under my belt I’ve discovered so many great benefits that come from this lovely healing modality. Its so gentle and yet super powerful it can break down any wall and poof away all resistance. Reiki isn’t just a healing art but a lifestyle, like eating well, and exercising to keeping a healthy balance, Reiki works in all areas of life. Work, Rest, Play and Reiki. The gifts it gives never stop, although I’ve been in this life-path for many years, each time I’m in the presence of Reiki I discover something new. The newness of my eternal Soul, the elation of feeling this magnificence so present within me and surrounding me, us. Surrounding all of us.

There are so many layers to living in Reiki, so many great benefits in addition to the awesome reward of perfect health. I’ve gather a few of all these pearls and list them below.

5 Amazing Benefits of Reiki

AWARENESS. Reiki inspires a life of meditation and relaxation. It promotes conscious awareness allowing the creation of a matching vibration to the choices you make. It helps to elevate a resonance of wanting to feel Happy, in Joyful Bliss and therefore puts us in a space of sharing. We want everyone to feel the blissful elation of Being truly Happy, so it makes way to having an extra sensorial awareness of global Peace, of all beings on the planet being in Peace.
COMMUNITY. Whether we practice the healing art of Reiki or attend community healing circles Reiki brings people together, doesn’t matter their background, inside a ring of Reiki healing we are all one, united by a common purpose. I personally enjoy watching people mingle after a Reiki circle, sharing their experiences and eager to hear each other share what it was like for them. It turns into a family feast of well-being and joyful celebration.
EXPANSION. It’s the work of Reiki Magic, the Universal Source of Love how it easily turns non-believers into committed and dedicated beings. Because Reiki has no church, it has no membership, It Is Pure Love. Always there, available, ready to guide you to seeing yourself as the Beautiful Abundant Bountiful person that you are. It doesn’t have to convince of its strength and capacity, its strength and capacity is always delivered. Expansion on both mental and emotional levels are inevitable. Mentally you will discover the endless layers of your being and will flow with such ease into a space of allowingness that will deliver you to all the success you’ve ever dreamed of. We have the capacity to create instantaneously and placing yourself in a conducive environment will help you set your path ahead. Emotionally the expansion is beyond belief, literally. Reiki will replenish a “broken heart” and give it deliberately all the strength and courage it needs for it to remain whole, empowered and in Love. Emotions swim in the oceans between the head and the heart and with the radiance of Reiki no mater how calm or active these oceans are, zen is a state available at all times. Keeping the mental and the emotional layers in balance opens up the portals to higher realms giving one the opportunity to experience the infinite growth of the eternal soul.
RELAXATION. Most guests attending a Reiki circle fall asleep. Snoring and all. Its adorable sweet to hear them apologize about falling asleep and snoring after we’re done. I always express to them that its absolutely alright to fall asleep. It means they’ve totally relaxed their body and were opened to receive treatment. Then I also share with them that its not a “falling sleep” like when we sleep in bed but its because we’ve given ourselves the chance to relax so much so deeply that the body drops into a perfect state of relaxation. At the end of the circle the soul knows its time and the person automatically awakes. ..like magic. They are able to hypnotize themselves and heal to be whole in a wonderful state of deep ease and stillness. Whats so incredible about this is that when we let ourselves relax is when the real healing begins. The mind has no expectations, the ego isnt working on a way to sabotage but better it flows along in a perfect partnership relationship with Self.
RE-CHARGE. Life, our world, our thoughts, emotions, decisions and even the very choices we make, everything we go through requires energy, everything is energy and living is a collaboration, an exchange of energies between ourselves and our life itself. Part of the journey we move through as a human being is to rest. When we rest we recharge. In Reiki, whether you are at a group healing circle or at a one-on-one session Reiki collaborates with you in this moment by providing the space to rest body and mind while re-charging and replenishing your beautiful vibratory creative energetic essence. When in the presence of Reiki one feels peacefully relaxed and allows the magnetic light to revitalize giving you the sensation of expansion, release and freedom. Peace of mind is not something you gain rather something you already have, all that is needed to feel it is for it to be activated. When we allow our system to be re-charged we are elevated ourselves into the infinite oceans of source consciousness, into the space of the Soul. Now that’s a perfect space to dwell in and work from, don’t you think?? 🙂

Re-Charge, Relax, Allow and Expand, Receive Reiki and you will find the perfect balance to live the happy-go-lucky life you want. These are 5 of the many awesome rewards Reiki gives us unconditionally.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the read.
