What is Your Divine Purpose?

May 24, 2012 by deviantyogi

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m feeling like the universe is finally calling in all those contracts we made in the life between life station.

We come into the experience and well, life gets busy. We get caught in this 3rd dimensional density and it gets hard to be the divine beings that we are. I can only imagine what the soul must be thinking, it went from fully in the flow to being the backseat driver… and well, most of us are great at playing bumper cars.

Doing readings I get a unique perspective on where people are in this journey. I get to see life unfold, and I get to see it in mass which gives me a greater dimensional perspective. In the past many of the readings I use to get were focused on more mundane topics: “When is s/he going to call me back, am I going to get a raise next week, whats the name of my future husband/wife, but occasionally I’d get the deeper life path reading. Ever since the turn of the year almost all the readings have been centered in on this deep awakening. I’ve seen so many people making radical shifts into deeper spirituality and into the things they have always wanted to do. This is even true for me. I feel my own path evolving and am having to deal with some of the blockages I’ve put in my own way. Trusting ourselves is not easy. Trusting that the divine will catch us when we jump, also not easy, but we don’t have to trust the air is there when we inhale. Life is much like this. When I ask a client, “If you could do anything for the rest of your life, that one thing that would make you completely happy, what would it be?” I often get a puzzling look, and for many, this is the first time since they were kids that they have given themselves permission to dream.

What do you want to do with this life? Do you allow yourself time to dream, daydream, or to use imagination? What stops you from seeing life through a child’s eyes?

Take a few moments and make a list of things you feel that you are opening up to? How has your path changed this year?

Let yourself be part of the divine flow, even if just for a breath… or a dream.

Quick and Dirty Friday Workout Routine: Core Blast

May 4, 2012 by deviantyogi

Not only do I want to shape the minds and souls of those around me, but it’s time we also start shaping our bodies.

One of the best ways to get a full body workout is to engage the core. You might have heard people talk about the importance of having a strong “core”, but might not know what that means. The core muscles of the body (hamstrings, glutes, abdominal, lumbar, thoracic spine, moving up and into the lats) are the body’s center literally. All of our movement extends from the core, and our physical balance is grounded in this area. Having a weak core can cause many physical problems as well as energetic ones. I’ll go more in-depth in another post, but its time to do a delicious and quick core routine.

This workout can last as long as you want to give it. You can make it quick, or you can do an extended workout session. In future posts I’ll do video examples of the workout routines and invite you to follow along.

1) Plank 15 sec- 1min hold (This is a staple of any core workout routine. If you do other exercise other than planks, you will feel and see a difference in how you carry your body) .

–this is also the up position of a push up, you can modify and come down to the elbows for a low plank. Try the extended arm plank first.

2) Squats (10-20) Coming straight up from your plank, engage the body with a squat series. Big muscles burn big calories. On the very last squat hold the down position for a count of 10 (or more).

3) Jumping Jacks or Jump Rope (30 sec-1min) We also want to elevate your heart rate a bit. You can also choose to run in place, dance around, step-touch, or any semi cardiovascular exercise for the given time limit. Be creative.

…… and that’s it. Quick, easy and to the point. You can do this as one complete cycle to wake the body up, or do them as sets to build into a larger more extended workout. The idea is to allow yourself space to do a little something, and that might evolve into a bigger something. You can intensify a workout by extending the given times, our you can keep it short.

Enjoy and have a great weekend

Channeled Message: From the Divine Cosmic Flame

April 28, 2012 by deviantyogi

Divine children of light. You are in a changing and rapidly expanding time. You are all most likely noticing that you are in processes of upheaval and awakening. The time is nearing for all of you to enter into deep awareness of your surroundings, your environments, and those that you share this experience with. The worlds around you are merging at a rate that is faster than that many of you are used to. The pineal glands are firing off and awaking the latent abilities within many of you. The problem that many of you are facing are the distractions you are surrounding yourselves with. There are energies that are keeping you from deeply connecting to that divine spark within you. Life is manifesting in instants rather than drawn out moments. This is your true divine nature. Be cautious as to where you are aligning your thought patterns. If you create loops of fear and denial of your divine self then you will break yourselves away from progress and you will remain in regression. It is more important now than ever to focus internally and to connect to your divine nature. The breath, the sense of expansion and contracting of the lungs is where you must begin. It is vital that you open to your flow in tangibility. Many of you are awakening without fully understanding where your place is in that new space… this is okay. Your guides, guardians and angels are also being activated and given permission to step in to help you sort where your new directions are taking you. Do not feed into the distractions, turn inwards, flow with the breath.

You are divine sparks and you must set the world ablaze with your life, your light, and your love

Days 5, 6, 7: Integration

April 21, 2012 by deviantyogi

A cleanse is much easier that many of us think. Once we start tapping into the unlimited divine flow we begin to see that all those things creating attachments are just keeping us from moving into who we are supposed to be. The last few days of a cleanse, or fast are great for integration. What will you take with you from this experience? Even if you did not make it all the way until the very end, what will you take from that? Remember that there is no such thing as failure. Moving back into our lives after an extended period of stepping away can lead to a bit of upheaval. If your cleanse was food based, I caution against jumping right back into eating all of the things that you might have eliminated from your diet. That can cause an overload, and may in turn make you sick. Caffeine is an example of something that you might want to slowly introduce back in. Start with 1/2 caf 1/2 decaf, and move up incrementally from there, or leave it out all together. The beautiful thing about the re-entry period is that now you have a choice. Often that “thing” that we are attached to is habitual in nature. We just reach out without giving it much though, if any thought. Now you are in a position of greater clarity of where you are in the body, where you are in connection to your divine self, and what affects attachments may have on your body.

How often should you cleanse?

I personally like to do once or twice a month. Let your intuition guide you. If things around you seem to be going haywire, take a moment and see where the discord might be coming from. Is there something within you that might be causing you to go off-center? Where are your emotions? These can all be signs that it’s time for you to go a little deeper.

Cleansing the external world can also be a great way to sync ourselves up to an internal cleanse. You’ll need to create that sacred space for yourself. Allow your area to be free of things binding you into the moment. Clutter can be distracting, and on the other hand sometimes a bit of chaos leads to creativity. Play with your external sacred space.

You can of course go longer than 7 days. You can live your life as an action of deep connection to your own divine flow. Allow yourself the opportunity to be present in your life fully. As we move forward I’ll do other cleanses, fasts, and challenges that are more specific in nature (yoga, raw dieting, master cleanse, etc). This is just a basic outline that can be applied to almost anything in your experience.

Share ,grow, and be present fully in your life.

Namaste

DY Cleanse Week: Day 4 & 5 Bringing In the Good Stuff

April 19, 2012 by deviantyogi

Usually by this stage of a cleanse many of us are grounded on a new way approaching that thing we might be doing without. We might notice that “thing” just is not part of our new routine. If it is food that you are doing without, you might notice you are no longer craving it. If it is coffee, you might notice that you have a natural abundance of energy. Another way to ground ourselves into a cleanse is to bring in new positive energy. This can be a new hobby, getting out in nature, writing, reading a book you never thought you’d pick up, or even just going into a daily meditation practice. Cleansing is not just about letting go, but it is also about creating space to bring new and powerful energy into your system. When we being a new direction, anything that we add in that supports that new direction grounds us into that energy. It moves us into intentional living space rather than keeping ourselves in the struggle. If you are struggling, a new direction within the cleanse allows for positive distraction instead of anguish.

What are some new thing you want to try that you might not have before? What new space has been created in your life due to taking on a cleanse? What attachments have come up, or into perspective that you were not aware of (emotional, physical, spiritual, or otherwise)? How are you feeling about where you are in the cleanse?

As always, keep focused–stay connected–and know that you are loved.
