Are you living to your highest potential???

With so many of us being challenged right now with loss, hopelessness, & emotional turmoil. Never before has it been more important to plug into your own source of spiritual nourishment.
I recently attended a yoga workshop taught by Amy Ippoliti & Christina Sell. Two fabulous Anusara Certified yoga teachers. The workshop was titled, "Turn up the volume on your inner voice". It was very insightful. And true, that most of us are not operating at our highest potential. That the volume of our inner wisdom is too low, distorted, or the dial is stuck. I love what Wayne Dyer says: "We are all connected to our source. The question is not are we connected? The question is: How dirty is the link?"

We all experience times when we are cloaked with doubt and fear. When we move away from our center the volume of our inner voice can become distorted and hard to hear. How far do you allow yourself to get before you notice?? We forget how much potential we have, and that our essence is greatness! The problem arises when we are unaware, and our behaviors and actions move us away from the alignment to our highest self. This brings about unwanted life results, habits even addictions that completely numb us from hearing our own inner wisdom & that calling to the greatness that we were meant to be.

There are two ways to work on the self: One is to hack away at that that we don't like, and the other is to focus on that that we do like, and let that light & wisdom grow bigger within us. We are all capable of living a highly fulfilled and joyful life. But many of us lack a commitment to our inner voice, and the work that is required in achieving our dreams. Yoga promises that it will be challenging & very uncomfortable at times. But to experience true freedom, and the life you've always imagined, you must heed to that inner wisdom that resides inside. Face all of your fears, demons, and dark corners with a BIG FAT YES. The answer to "how" is YES!

So often I just need to step out of my own way. Surrender to Grace, & trust the support that the universe offers.

How do you self defeat? Challenge yourself to become more present to those self defeating thoughts that create a distortion of your inner voice. See them for what they are... just thoughts with no power over you unless they are fueled with action.

There are many pathways of devotion to the higher self: Scripture study, Mantra, meditation, prayer. And my personal favorite; yoga asana. It's all yoga. What do you value? What does that inner voice call you to be and do? Can you keep your eye on the target, and heed to the voice of your inner wisdom? ....YES!!!
