This post is technically my third in discussing my intentions, or sankalpa, for 2012. Today in my yoga asana class, my teacher Lori Tindall, asked us to set an intention for the class and then later asked us to consider our intention for the moment, the class, the week, month, year, and our lifetime. I had never considered a sankalpa for my embodiment this lifetime, but the thought made me smile.
Easily my intention for my lifetime is to honor my Truth from the guru within, satguru, and live in harmony with that in action, speech, and thought. Which is a very generalized description of yoga in my book.
Yet, for 2012, I wish to really hunker down into my yogic practices. I tend to be a yogic philosopher more than an active yogi with my asana. The asana (poses) are visited regularly, but not daily or even 3 times a week consistently.
I’d like to change that. SO, after class this morning I concluded that its time for me to state my intention to practice yoga asana for at least 30 minutes (60 minutes+ ideally), 3-5 times a week! I am making that announcement here to hold myself accountable. Plus, if you’re in Boise and interested in practicing with me at my house or taking a class together, lets make it happen.
While I’m discussing sankalpas, I might as well mention that I’d also like to return to jogging and stop driving my car as often and get back to bicycle commuting more regularly.
There ya have it, the 3rd times a charm & final post on intentions for manifesting in the year 2012 and beyond.
First of all, Happy New Year! Lets celebrate this new beginning and remember, that every moment is a new opportunity with vast space for new creation. Lets seek opportunity and honor the blessing of contentment in every special moment. : )
I have been receiving guidance, for myself and for a few people that come to seek healing work with me professionally, on the nature of forgiveness quite heavily in 2011. It has been quite revolutionary and I’ve found myself saying things that I never imagined I would hear myself say. Mostly because of where the inspiration came from; Jesus Christ. More on that in another post, another day…
Forgiveness is the vessel that carries nonjudgment into our hearts and bodies. Without it, especially without self-forgiveness, we will constantly build walls between ourselves and what we perceive on the outside, and without a doubt from any particular “place” we aspire to be and grow into.
Its easy to say, but we are all interconnected. That which we give, truly is what becomes us and our vibration. Every thought we contain in our minds is like an accessory in the wardrobes of our lives. If you have had life experience that gave you that wisdom internally, it is easy to understand how important our thoughts, words, and actions are.
You might be thinking that judgment is what helps you know what you like and what you don’t and what to surround yourself with. However, judgement is different than discernment in a big, big way. Judgement is something that we create. When we say something is something, an energy, feeling-tone, or vibration is created out of thin air. It creates a force; a momentum, which carries you along with it. When we discern that something isn’t for us, we simply know that isn’t and move on. We don’t create an invisible band that connects us to it, we simply “swim on” and pass right by, unaffected and clear to receive and create that which we chose.
I find people who judge others, especially to solidify their social-political status, to be very ugly people. Now, if that isn’t an ironic and slightly judgmental statement. However, I *know* that its really a sign of insecurity and that they are in need of cultivating a higher love for themselves. Which always brings a sense of compassion into my soul quickly and I forgive them and move on. I promise, I’m not a saint, but I know the pain of not loving oneself truly and fully so its easy for me to forgive another in that position. We are all in that position, its why we’re on Earth.
Which is why forgiveness and nonjudgment are so important for myself, and for everyone right now. In the work that I’ve done that has taught me about the importance of forgiveness and nonjudgment, it has been because of an intuitive understanding and application of the energetic shifts that our planet is in the process of undergoing. For more info on that, Google terms such as: Procession of the Equinox, Divine Feminine resurgence, & Drunvalo Melchizedek for starters.
With these higher frequencies we are coming into contact with, our heart-space is learning how to operate in a new way. Much like learning a new language or motor-skill. We move from a lack of an ability into a new skill. Quite simply we are learning how to move from conditioned love into unconditional love. Conditional love is embedded deeply into all of our cells through ancestral connection. It is said that we carry ties to the past 7 generations within the DNA in the cells of our bodies.
This is big stuff that we are learning how to heal and evolve out of.
Once upon a time, a select group of people had an ability to take something pure and use it to create power for themselves. Think Roman Catholic imperialism, eventually US imperialism, & the NWO. And out of that, a notion to wipe out traditional practices which were often Shamanic and Mother Earth based, to establish control through judgment (conditioned love) and one particular story of Jesus was born.
This may sound like I’m an anti-Christian, but truly its the opposite. I believe there is some serious enlightenment concerning the Truth of Jesus Christ that deserves to be brought into Light. I seek to learn more of these Truths, from the well of my heart-space, as well.
With the shifts taking place on our planet, access to Christ Consciousness energy has heightened. I think thats the essence of what those silly Rapture-Christians were picking up on and unfortunately completely confused about.
But what does heightened access to that energy mean? Quite simply: Forgiveness.
Compassion.
Love.
Nonjudgment!
You see, Jesus Christ was just a man who discovered/embodied alignment with source energy and wanted to teach others how to do the same in their already inherently perfect state as men and women. I believe his connection to source energy allowed him to be a Reiki Master in the highest degree and that is how he healed people. I should note that these notions are not endorsed by traditional Tibetan & Usui Reiki Masters- to my knowledge. However, it is my view and my teaching as a Usui & Tibetan Miss Masta Reiki Love Blasta! Lol. I couldn’t help myself, sorry. ; )
Wow. This post turned epic on me! Which wasn’t my intention, but it is what needs to be said. It is really what I’ve been aching to say and explain, and yet, its just the beginning.
The days of judgement are over, especially for me. I’m here to say it and embody it as best as I can. I am beyond tired when it comes to critiquing myself for what I did and didn’t do. I chose to live fully, openly, and lovingly in my body. I know out of experience that this means that I will continue to rock the boat, alienate myself, and yet that I will be guided towards authentic beauty, relationships, and gifts beyond what my ego may believe to be acceptable.
2012 is the beginning of complete self-acceptance for me. I forgive myself and everyone else for that matter. This does not mean I accept everything into my life, but that I discern what I want, without judgment, and let go of all that does not serve my Truth. In my ability to cultivate forgiveness and nonjudgment, I create limitless potential for love and joy. Thank you to all the powers that be, the teachers and guides who have brought me, and all of us, to the blessed moment and year.
H'Jae Mama!
