Drink What You Pour

One day during my yoga teacher training, I asked my teacher: how do you stay up and keep your own energy, when everyone seems to want something from you. He looked at me and said, drink what you pour.  I walked away in silence, and thought, of course…LOL, we know what to do, it’s everything we tell others.  Believe and live what your saying. That’s what I’ve been doing with this blog, reminding myself and others of all that’s important, and yet, I still needed to be reminded, so I thought may be you did too. 🙂

Be YOU!

Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love. -Rumi

There is an energy, a life force that is uniquely in you. You’re a masterpiece, and since their is only one of you, you need to make sure to use the gifts that are yours. Often it’s a leap of faith that only seems right in your gut, but realize your true nature, and go with the flow of life. 

And then the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -Anais Nin

Let yourself radiate joy and peace, by being who you really are. Be true to yourself, love yourself, and learn, and do, what interests you. Move towards your interest and allow all that is good to come your way.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Each morning when you wake up, and every night when you go to bed, thank yourself, for being you!

Truth – With Love and Light

“A pure heart open to the light, will be filled with the very essence of Truth.” ~ Rumi

I had an awakening this week, after receiving the gift of a Thai Massage. I felt as if I could feel my prana, energy, vibrating and dancing about. I’ve been told that we’re not solid objects, and for the first time I felt that way. I’ve had massages before and have left feeling wonderful and relaxed, but this was different. The gift giver suggested after, that I go to the beach and sit with my feet in the sand, so I went. I never felt so connected and unconnected at the same time. Within myself I felt as if like i was the center of the universe. And, although there were lots of people around, when I listened for outside sounds, all I heard was the waves crashing in the sand. It was easy for me to keep going inward, and instinctively I new what I should do. When to move, eat, and head home. Honoring myself in the simplistic of terms. When I arrived home I was exhausted, even though it had only been a few hours and even though I had a good nights sleep. Not wanting to lose this feeling, a definite change in my whole being, I just lay still for a few hours.

A week later, I’ve allowed the beautiful essence of this gift to fade. Why is it that we sometimes allow ourselves to default to the place inside us, where we don’t want to be. Why is it so hard for us sometimes. Why do we allow stuff to affect us, when we know better,… habits, I realize, take time to change. So, recognizing the habits, honoring ourselves, and giving yourself the moment to make the shift, is sometimes, the best we can do until the new habit takes form.

Be easy on yourself, but see your truth, see your drama. Let it go, an start shifting your thoughts, and life, to where you really want it to be. Do you really want to live in the drama – step back, step away, turn.  Start focusing on what you want, and how you feel strength, in your peace.

Speaking my truth, with love, and light,

Goldi
