There’s a part of every living thing that wants to become itself; the tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into the butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one. That is spirituality ~ Ellen Bass

Do you feel it? Are you noticing life situations arise NOT allowing you to stay in your comfort zone? These experiences that might be viewed as uncomfortable can also be looked to as evolutionary catalysts. It is our choice. What is happening and what will we do with it?

What if we are receiving a “wake up call?” That is a call to drop our old programing and begin to awaken our dormant and unrealized powers. I love the saying “a problem cannot be solved by the same consciousness that created it.” Whether it is a personal or global challenge, it is time to change our course. Science tells us that everything is a frequency, our thoughts, words, emotions, physical body, right down to the food we eat, the work we do, where we live and even the music we listen to.

To stay balanced and use these evolutionary catalysts to our advantage requires diligence, dedication and self-care. This is how we integrate the mindfulness that yoga teaches us and take it off the mat. It is a calling to be energy engineers, which is the conscious transformation of energy. We must feel our feelings, experience what is happening and then make a conscious choice on how to understand, process and transform the frequency. We use our free will in combination with the power of focused intention to increase our own vibrations as well as to places, situations and people.

The greatest compliment I have ever been given as a teacher was “you hold a sacred space.” This is not to say I am not human however I have a full toolbox that I use constantly whether it be any of the aspects of a yoga practice, meditation, sound therapy or getting out in nature just to name a few. Create your own toolbox and use it as often as needed during these challenging times.

Yoga encourages us to become ourselves. We must start where we are.

We are in this together. What you do affects me and vise versa. Please don’t hit the snooze button.
