After another 2 day training conference, my poor hips are stiff! Ditto with my neck/back/shoulders. The proir hip hamstring is acting up; but all in all I AM GRATEFUL! I am grateful for my body healing itself. This AM I am proud to say that I awoke before the sun and did a 45 min yoga practice: vinyasa Fall grounding. While I am not particularly excited about it, perhaps it was exactly what I needed. My intentions for today are not of fear or crying: today I will enter the facility at work with love and abundence, greet all I encouter with love and surround myself with whte light; staying above the influence of the sess pools of doubt ,fear, gossip and negativiity. All is well.

Change. Change. Change. If one thing is certain, it is the nature of change. This week brought a new job, travel, new friends, new perceived "struggles", anxiety, and load of fear (false evidence appearing real.) I found myself in "ego" much of the week. As a new student in a new positioin, I will/can not automatically be "the best" of all: i can be my own best though. I have had to practice getting out of "ego" and allowing all to "just be" in perfection, without my manipulation. Today in yoga I learned that a new beginning is a new chance to teach; these people have never seen my temper, have not heard me curse, do not know me as a smoker and do not know my history. I can start fresh, as a leader. A calm source of love and teaching. I am calm., I am well. I really really liked this flow today, and feel that my back and my hips (*even the damaged muscle) feel calm now. Thank you!

Oh my; I don't get headaches. Today, however, after the best hip workout ever I had a hot love session with my husband and THEN about 10 minutes later OUCH!!! What a headache! Shooting pains in ONLY the front left quadrant of my skull. I sheepishly took 800mg Ibuprophen and layed down while I asked my lover to google headaches after yoga. Turns out dehydration or over doing it can cause it. I sprayed on topical magnesium - which seemed to help immediately, placebo or not. In all ethical honesty I did start the yoga VERY TENSE very stiff and very anxious. I also had not done yoga for a full2 days now, with a new Zumba class 2 days ago also. Very very stiff. I tried to stretch in deep- noticed that I had somehow pulled a muscle in the back right hip prior to yoga. All in all all together, the story ends well. Relaxing evening, about to go soak in some epsom salt bath water. Feels like energy continues to reshift through my body. I'll just be more careful.

I have a new favorite = Eoin Finn. I just completed my first video with him. Delicious. His voice is "sweet like cherry nectar." Wow. What a turn on!

Happy 1-11-11!!!!!! What an AMAZING day of manifestation!! While I had planned to wake up at 8AM to do yoga with the good morning energy, I was disappointed (at first) that I overslept until 11AM. My husband was also shaken, as he planned to venture out for new employment here at the beach, as we have just recently relocated. Today would be his first day of the job search. Long story short, by “accident” he found EXACTLY what he was looking for, and had an interview on the spot with the CEO. They will be making him an offer by the end of this week or early next week. WOW! Talk about manifesting your dreams! My calm energy husband is an inspiration to me on letting go and allowing the universe to surprise you. We are not in charge of “the cursed how’s” all we have to do is dream it, believe it, and show up. This evening before yoga I ventured out to my first Zumba class in the area to drive up the wild energy, WOW! I was not disappointed. These beautiful women (of all ages and sizes) of the beach showed up in bright colors with coin jewelry, hip scarves and smiles. The hour class felt like 5 minutes. What a great sweat. Breathing in that live energy was very therapeutic, and much needed for me. I am now in a happy calm space, ready to embrace tonight’s yoga for calming and peace. Tomorrow I will go out for employment. I found a very intriguing company not far away where I will “show my face” tomorrow and allow the universe to unravel the dreams. I will show up and smile. I have dreams of a fun reality with creative employment for a wonderful company. I’m not concerned with the “hows”; I’m sure I will be very surprised and eagerly delighted. That sense of wonder is a gift.

I just finished my first class at myyogaonline.com. It was called “twist it out”; focusing on opening your heart ,etc. I liked the “twist” part; hoping that it twisted out the waste in my bowels and opened the hips and released the pain that has harnessed within the past weeks r/t stress, menstruation, moving, my mom’s health/emotional well being, leaving Ohio (and the cold all together) , leaving my job, not having an income, living in a new area, lots of driving, changing weather patterns, fear, insecurity, restlessness, emotional overeating, guilt associated with over eating, sluggish bowels, big ideas, concerns, oversleeping, having the kids, wanting kids of my own, not knowing what to do first, dealing with the cursed “how’s” keeping a good relationship with my husband and not burning him out with my emotions, not getting lost while driving, and finally having my Jeep back. The twist yoga really calmed me down. My body feels calm like bath water. My mind isn’t racing. I’m not scared. I’m not hungry. My hands are a bit cold (from being outside) but otherwise I’m well. I am excited to start a 30 day relationship with yoga online and see how my awareness changes. I am very happy. All is well.
Side note: I had concerns for the wooden walkway leading to the ocean. “Magically” someone came and cleared the path of the brushes, just as the kids arrived! How wonderful. Next, I had concerns that the wooden walkway needed to be swept clean of sand. To my wonder today, I couldn’t help but smirk to myself as I walked on to the beach today and the powerful rainstorm of last evening had cleared the sand all the way down to the wood. I didn’t need to exert any energy, nature knew how to take care of itself without any intervention from me, thank you very much.

I did not complete yoga yesterday; as my mind was racing, my stomach was hungry (probably too close to “fasting” and the toxins were being released into my blood.) I woke up, and took daughter Greyson to the beach hoping that she would again run with me. I assume that, like dogs on the Dog Whisperer, children need to be “ran” to release excess energy and toxins. She, however, was too infatuated with treasures (such as feathers) on the beach, and thus stopped every meter or so. I did not want to be the adult Scrooge, nor to disregard this golden treasure of youth or time, I also stopped and indulged with her. I promptly returned to the home, dropped her off, and went back to the beach for a frustrating run. Now on completion, I was both too frustrated, cold, and hungry for an outdoor yoga session.
So onto the present: I awoke just slightly prior to the kids nap time. I spent my morning checking my personal financial websites that I do not check often. All was well. The universe continues to provide. People love to give me money, just for being me. The kids took a nap, and I fired up myyogaonline: I love it there!! I did find an interesting treasure that I will want to be “alone” for; as I presume much anger and frustrations will be released. I do feel this will be perfect for Monday morning, since we are returning the kids sometime out of my control tomorrow, which is Sunday. This gem is called Kundalini full body tune up. The reviews were mixed, which leads me to believe that it is both excellent and a workout for the nontraditional morning. Skimming through the fast forward of the video, I could sense that the students were really releasing some stuck anger/ frustration. There was a vocal component that I’m REALLY ready to try, noting that I have found my own voice opening up on occasions, when deep into yoga (after the 30 minute mark at least) when I will have a flash vision/memory in my mind and then follow with a tone from the voice box such as “get out” or just “oooouuuuuutttt” or “reee-leeease” etc. This is a cool addition that has developed with my “practice” and I’m loving it. I like to feel clean, and I believe that there is cleaning/releasing going on on a deep cellular level.
Side note, while reading an article by Pam Anderson in Playboy I had a conscious awareness that Pam was in a high state of enlightenment while writing her poems. I also noted that I was not on that level while reading it. I smiled to myself that many would perhaps reduce her to a “dumb blond” with ramblings, where as those who have been enlightened can identify the thoughts in that higher energy vibration.
Today’s 65 minute class (yay me!!!!) was an intermediate Vinyasa flow yoga with Jesse Enright as the instructor. WOW! Loved it. It was just what I wanted. It warmed me up, opened me up for deep tissue stretching, allowed my thoughts to calm and flow as Jesse led me, and encouraged me to try new poses that had not been attempted or even demonstrated to me as of yet. This video was also the first to use yoga blocks in my personal practice. I found them to look like a fun addition to the workout. (While at WalMart this past week I felt led to buy a set, but left them alone on the shelf citing post New Year’s commercialism/brainwashing. Perhaps it was just good old fashioned intuition speaking.)
While watching Food Inc (for the first time) last night (have seen Food Matter over 20 times perhaps easily) I commend the Yogurt Biologist who approved of the WalMart decision. While we could all discuss the evils of this corporation, let the facts speak that for every million dollars WM spends on organic, how many thousands of pounds of pesticides are NOT used. I liked that part a lot. I will have to dwell on that in the future; it’s a nice way of focusing on the good and not permitting the powerful mind to unintentionally intentionally give more power to the bad. As Mother Teresa said, she would never attend an anti-war rally, as she understood far too well the powers of intention and manifestation. She did, however reply that if there was ever a pro-peace rally, she would indeed attend that. Perfect.

Today I discovered the online posting forum with www.myyogaonline.com: yay! I have just completed my first test run of Kundalini Full Body Tune up. One word: wow. I gathered from reading the comments and description that this would be a unique experience. Having just moved from Ohio to the beach in pursuit of dreams, many people had used the ideal of “no” with me. I am glad to report that I feel I have cleared my body of much of this pent up frustration and anger that I have kept stored within my tissues. I feel as though a thorough cleaning has been performed on my body, most especially my shoulders and core. This class made me feel as if the instructor was wisely working up the heat in pre-chosen areas in order to help me to get into the stored “mess” of pain, and then wisely assisted my personal cleansing/cleaning out of the channels. This one was special. I believe that one could benefit from this practice at least once a month (for females, perhaps just after or during the menstrual cycle, to keep with the cleansing theme.) This will be my “go to” for deep internal releasing. It is adeptly named as “full body tune up.”
