Morning Kiss

Many years ago I had a friend who programed her coffee maker that she called her “boyfriend” every night, and then in the morning she would wake up and think  awe… my boyfriend  made me coffee😉 It brought her so much joy, and now she has a husband that’s very attentive to her and brings her coffee in bed. It’s much like what I did with my blog here. I wanted to live a life that was perfect for me. I started writing about it, and now I’m living it. And, it’s with this thought that I wanted to create “Morning Kiss”.

As you may know I have a new website called Azul Yoga. I’ve linked it here and to this blog.  In creating my perfect life I became a yoga teacher. It keeps me grounded, and healthy in body and mind. And, as you man not know, a few months after I moved close to the beach I started waking up every morning before sunrise and heading down to the beach to meditate. Everyday, I became more and more infinitely aware of my connection to myself, and my connection to the whole. And, as the sun rose. I became more and more aware of the diversity and magnificence each day brings. I’m not always in the same spot, but I can be for days on end, at the exact same place; and the sunrise, the shore, the tide, the waves, the sky, the color of the water, everything is different and unique every day, and in reality changes moment to moment. Where photos I’ve taken fifteen minutes apart from each other looks like the difference between night and day in comparison.  It has become so illuminating to me, witnessing the infinite possibilities of the day, that I wanted to share it with everyone. So I started posting sunrise photos, on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, my Azul Yoga website, and other social media sites. Then I added quotes or positive thoughts along with the photos. And, then I thought – How cool it would be to not have to go look for it but to receive it via email, like a good morning kiss, or a friend bringing you a cup of coffee in the morning. So I’ve linked it to my Azul Yoga website which is where I’ve been posting my photos, and now I have it set up to where if you subscribe to the Azul Yoga website you’ll begin to receive these daily greetings and inspiration. My intention with the “Morning Kiss” is to create a positive beginning to our day, to individuals all over the world, mindfully linking our connection to ourselves, and to the whole that we can and cannot see, but with a knowing that we are all linked – Like the sun that shines on us all.

 

Below is an example of today’s “Morning Kiss” as seen on AzulYoga.com

Good Morning You Beautiful Soul!

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise. Marcus Aurelius.

 

New Moon Monday

New Moon Monday

So on Monday’s I’ve been going to this cute little tea room to write my blog. I like it here, it feels comfortable, and I’m consciously surrounding myself with people who inspire me, and I feel inspired by the people here that I’m continually getting to know. Today I was having trouble writing my blog. My thoughts were scattered, and I was having trouble writing clear paragraphs. A friend came over and began talking to me, as she was looking at her phone, and said oh it’s New Moon Monday.  I wasn’t even aware that the new moon began today. 

But I do know that the New Moon is a great time to plant seeds for transformation. And, this particular new moon is great for grounding, which my writing would be better and smoother if I was more grounded at the moment. So I think if we take a moment here we can all benefit from this new beginning. One of the best ways to take advantage of the new moon is to set an intention for the cycle.

Everything begins with an intention. Like writing this blog. I would not write a blog if I didn’t have an intention to do so at some time.  So Set an intention or sankulpa, – your positive statement, and set it in the present tense, as it’s effects are intensified during this time and we want the best outcome. The new moon, is like new beginnings like the darkness that we feel in some or all areas of our life, and our actions and intention expands as new moons light expands gradually becoming the brilliantly bright full moon, as we become the brilliantly bright improve being. 

Here are a few examples of intentions set in the present tense.  Use one of these or create one that truly resonates with you. It can be as long or as short as you would like, then begin to feel your life transform. Noting however that its best that these intentions reflect what we truly value and whats authentic to us. Like today mine may or should be.

I am a great writer, I speak my truth, and leave a positive imprint on the world, or, Regardless of how great or poor of a writer that I am, I speak my truth, and leave a positive imprint on the world.

For you –

I live a life of value.

I flow though life with ease and grace.

I authentically live with a knowing of my inner truth.

I live in peace in mind and body.

I am happy.

I am whole.

Once you create your statement. Sit with it for a moment or two. Breathe it in. Breathe it out. Allow it to become a part of you. Allow it to permeate every cell in your body.

Then as the days go and the moon light grows, feel and believe this statement is more and more true. Detach from the outcome, release and let go. Let me know if it works for you!

Just a thought,

Meditation – Being with Yourself

Meditation – Being with Yourself – allowing you to just sit with yourself, so that you may gain knowledge about who that is. This connection to your inner self is the most important factor in creating lifelong happiness. Be with your self, and find out what you really want. What does your perfect life truly look and feel like. You may be surprised, when you get quiet, to learn what the real answers are.

When you know yourself and approach each moment present and aware, you are no longer anchored to the past or immobile about fears of the future.  Your heart is open and you look to see all the good thats around you now in the present moment. Your mind is clear and you live with clarity in this divine rythm of nature, of life.  And, it’s this creative power and connection to this creative flow that allows you to flourish.  Opening yourself up and allowing the current to carry you gracefully forward.

Just a thought… Oh! and I found this really good article on meditation if your interested – Your body on Meditation
