AWAKE

Parmahansa Yogananda was the first to pioneer yoga in the west in its purest form – A way to talk about the human spirit without dogma and religion, charting the path inward to connect with our own divinity. It is not about worshiping a god but experiencing God as within us and awakening the full potential of human awareness by clearing inner duality, cultivating stillness and delivering excellence in all that we do. 

Today’s Western definition of yoga is limiting, describing a specific type of “exercise”. But to the ancients, yoga was a sacred spirit-body connection. The goal was not fitness but a direct connection to the God-like spirit within. We have a body, however it is about using the body to get to the mind and expanding the consciousness. It is not about yoga pants, how far we can bend or how long we can hold a pose. Once we discover our own inner greatness and vast powers as a human being through yoga, those things are simply a byproduct but not the goal. The purpose of exercises in yoga is to prepare the body’s central energy centers to sit through long meditations and receive spiritual downloads. Yoga is about discovering who we are and why we came on this planet. Becoming one with peace, one with joy, one with love… In the pure form of this practice, we realize that is our true nature. 

At his memorial, Steve Jobs arranged for everyone to be handed the Autobiography of a Yogi with a note saying “Actualize yourselves”. This must watch documentary is a great reminder of how relevant it is today to spread the message of yoga in this age of guns, bombs, greed, and corruption where we are not only killing our own race but thousands of other species along with us. Indeed if we were to wake up, we are limitless beings with unlimited potential to change ourselves and the world. My favorite and most sacred form of yoga to reach enlightenment and awakening is of course Kundalini yoga. So grateful for this technology that helps me be a better person everyday, connect to oneness and find my path in life. 

SECRET PRAYER

People often think that to pray is enough. It is to a degree but there is a real secret to having your prayers answered. I always start my prayers with gratitude in advance for all that I already do have in my life. Gratitude is the single most important element in prayer and as the saying goes; “If the only prayer you have said today is ‘thank you’ that is enough”. Next I ask my angels and guides (you can think of it as the universe or higher power) to bring me my heart’s desires and always add “this or better”and "your will not mine" which helps me stay in detachment from outcome and trust there is real order to the universe that is always all knowing. Then I surrender to it for real magic to happen. 

Finally, I take inspired action! In my meditations and stillness I listen to my intuition, stay open and trust the messages to follow leads or my heart to where my destiny may be. 

Prayer does so many things. It heals, comforts, strengthens and brings you faith. Prayer is talking to God and meditation is listening to the messages and guidance given to us. Wishing you all a blessed day

A TIME TO BEFRIEND THE SOUL

Like a woven cloth, the energy of the universe is simultaneously parallel and perpendicular. White Trantric yoga, when directed by the Mahan Tantric, cuts through the blocks that are deep in the subconscious mind to help uncover hidden patterns, transcend the earthly life lessons and karma by opening the intuition and building the etheric bodies.

The eyes serve as the gateways to the soul. As I stare across from me with eyes wide open, I intend to flow with the stream of subtle energy lines between us and with eyes wide shut I journey inward where our souls meet as one. I soar through all parallel dimensions that I exist in and wipe away the deeds of my past, present and future. With the Grace of God I connect to light, love and the truth of my existence. 

BEYOND THE BEYOND

Beyond time and space there is a place where I am timeless, I am deathless, I am limitless, I am fearless, I am nameless, I am undying. 

I am beyond doubt, I am beyond color, I am beyond form, I am indescribable. 

I am in the ethers, I am in the light, I am in the beginning, I am in the now, I am everything, I am nothing, I am infinite, I am love. 

I AM GRACE OF GOD

When you surrender to life, all of life becomes a blessing. There are no wrong turns, bad decisions, or circumstances that happen to us. Often in retrospect we see we were protected all along and led to our destiny. When we stop reacting and accept all the waves in the ocean of life with neutrality then we are closer to mastering it.
