Here’s what 3 graduates want you to know…Yoga Alliance E-RYT-500
 

♥ I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the most wonderful weekend of downtime, stress relief, and improve-my-quality-of-life time! You have a way of bringing everyone together, making us feel not only welcome, but special.  You have a most awesome positive energy and although you could have a big head with all your successes, you leave your ego at the door and show true concern toward everyone. – Kathleen

♥ I’m grateful for the chance to step out and do this.  This is the first time that I have been able to be still and quiet enough to really consider what the future could look like – an exciting prospect. – Sarah

♥ I am grateful beyond words.  This program will have a positive and lasting effect on my life!  – Les

♥ When I was able (and strong & brave & loving enough) to step away from my stormy life for this program, I noticed I still have so much love & calm & HOPE & strength.  It was just smothered like a perfect, precious gem under a pile of dirty clothes.  It was so hard to see it but it was and always will be there no matter what.  Knowing the jewel is there, under the heap, is so exciting because that keeps the hop. –  Anne

♥  I broke through major barriers in this program.  The people were inspirational.  I gained a part of my broken soul.  It’s OK not to be perfect.  I am enough, just as I am.  – Vickie

Purna Hridaya Hand Mudra for Mental/Emotional Stability

Mudras are yoga positions, gestures, and seals for your hands and fingers that facilitate health, healing, psychological balance and spiritual transformation.  Some mudras use the whole body and breath.  They are effective, easy to learn, practical and powerful, and anyone can do them. 

This hand mudra is called Purna Hridaya. It can help promote mental/emotional stability.  Breath capacity and the immune system also can improve.  It can bring relief when you’re feeling the blues.

How to do the Purna Hridaya hand mudra

  1. Hold your palms in front of your heart with your fingers pointing upwards.
  2. Interlace your knuckles inward at the upper joint.
  3. Make sure the right index finger is closest to your heart.
  4. Stretch your thumbs downward and touch their tips to form the shape of a heart.

This 4-minute video explains more.

Empowering Intentions & the MindBody Connection

February 9, 2015 by Julie Lusk

 

Have you run across The Hidden Messages in Water, a book by Masaru Emoto’s?  He is the researcher who looked at the power of intention and the mind body connection and “discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete,asymmetrical patterns with dull colors,” as reported in his book.  Examples of his work using high-speed photography are below.  A video of water crystals responding to the Blue Danube can be watched HERE.

His experiments were to “demonstrate that human thoughts and intentions can alter physical reality, such as the molecular structure of water.” What has put Dr. Emoto at the forefront of the study of water is his proof that thoughts and feelings affect physical reality. By producing different focused intentions through written and spoken words and music and literally presenting it to the same water samples, the water appears to “change its expression.” The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health. In other words, if our bodies are 80% or so water, the messages we get and the words on what we wear just may make a difference on our health and well-being.  After this work came out, plenty of people joined the bandwagon and believed what he reported.  Others claimed he was a fraud, especially since his work had not been replicated.

As for me, I knew about plenty of valid, well-documented research about the power of the mindbody connection and its influence on health and disease and how thinking, positively or negatively, has an impact on results and outcomes.  Emoto had a way to make this point by demonstrating these concepts in pictures.  It always made an impact when these pictures were shared in my workshops and classes.  However, I always wondered how valid his work really was.

All this came up for me again in an article, Scientific Evidence: Thoughts & Intentions Can Alter the Physical World Around Us, published by Mind Unleashed.  Not only did it briefly summarize his work and conclusions, it also showed research that he did using positive and negative messages on bottles filled with water and rice.  Ah haa!  That’s something I could do to see what happened.  Read on to see my results …   [Read more…]

The Art of Traveling

May 28, 2014 by Julie Lusk

Are you planning a vacation?  Good for you!  It’s important to expand your horizons and take a break from day-to-day routines.

When you pack your bags to explore the beauties of your own country or to travel around the world, consider these keys to a happy journey.  I wish I could give credit for these wise travel tips, but I don’t know who wrote them.  

Travel lightly. You are not traveling for people to see you!Half Dome at Sunset

Travel slowly. Jet planes are for getting places not seeing places; take time to absorb the beauty and inspiration of a mountain or cathedral.

Travel expectantly. Every place you visit is like a surprise package to be opened. Untie the strings with an expectation of high adventure.

Travel hopefully. “To travel hopefully,” wrote Robert Louis Stevenson, “is better than to arrive.”

Travel humbly. Visit people and places with reverence and respect for their traditions and ways of life.

Travel courteously. Consideration for your fellow travelers and your hosts will smooth the way through the most difficult days.

Travel gratefully. Show appreciation for the many things that are being done by others for your enjoyment and comfort.

Travel with an open mind. Leave your prejudices at home. [Read more…]
