Thoughts destroy or create in the body: How I shift

meditation and yoga combined with dialogue techniques,
intentional journaling (focused toward empathy and healing)
and a deep respect for passion, life force, chi

After 11 years of being a personal fitness trainer,
yoga teacher and life coach:
an advocate for people embarking on outward,
physical manifestations of change,

I have realized that in order for me to really
shift the health of the actual cells of the body,
dramatic shifts in my ways of thinking get to shift.

This requires being revealed to myself and to other people.

What's really going on up there,
in that brain, that analytical, thinking mind,
that is showing up in my physical body?

My thoughts are undeniably and intricately
linked to the manifestation of my physical body.

My thoughts are matter that settles into my energy field
and either helps to destroy or create.

Of course, there are thousands of thoughts a day...
and that is the fun part...or it can be!

Through daily rigorous practice,
I can start to shift my thoughts
into higher and higher energetic states.

For me, this requires identifying
the unhelpful thoughts through
dialogue and journaling.

There are also amazing tools like Focusing, NVC and RC,
(Non-Violent Communication and Re-Evaluation counseling or Co-Counseling)
that help me identify body sensations, decipher stories I'm telling myself,
from my feelings, and the needs that lie underneath,
so that I can make requests of myself and others.

Having an intentionally healing conversation
with a compassionate person, capable of empathy,
is, for me, a vital tool in helping me to shift my
thought patterns into higher and higher vibrations.
vibrational .

For me, this models the tool of empathy
so that I can begin to use it on myself.
the more I can self-empathize, the more
I can actually be present for someone else
in my life who may need my empathy to shift
their state.

Meditation and Yoga have helped me to slow down
my thoughts to some degree, but without affirmations
journaling and dialoguing through tough times,
I have just created myself in the past as a
lonely, righteous, judgmental, self and world-hating yogi,
or so I thought...
I am actually an incredibly passionate woman.
I am a total delight.
I am a beautiful and wonderful woman, worthy of all good things.
I always get exactly what I want, or something even better.

I get to combine several tools of my choosing to begin
to create real connection with myself and my world.

As always, on this cosmic buffet,
take what you like and leave the rest.
Peace and Blessings~
