Yoga! It is for Everyone

Is Yoga for everyone?

Yoga is one of the most misunderstood healing modalities in the world of health. It is often compared to calisthenics or stretching by well-meaning individuals who have simply never experienced true, traditional, introspective yoga by a teacher who understood how to adapt the class to each individual’s needs. This is unfortunate because Yoga is such a magnificent, empowering gift to those who need to heal inwardly as well as outwardly. Yoga is for everyone, no matter the pre-conceived limitations. You just need the right Yoga Therapist teaching the class. I would love to introduce you to Cyndi. Your first class with her is Free.

Cyndi Kershner is a dedicated and highly skilled yoga teacher and therapist; she has been teaching students for eight years, and often trains other yoga instructors.  Her classes are intentionally kept small and personal, with lots of opportunities for interaction, questions, learning, and connection. She teaches mindfulness meditation skills in all her classes to assist students in reducing stress and being calm. Her classes are alignment based and utilize props for safety and comfort. She can adapt yoga practice for all skill levels and body types; everyone is welcome in her classes, especially beginning students. 

Cyndi's specialty is adapting yoga for health conditions and mobility differences. Her work on Adaptive Yoga has been published several times in Yoga Therapy Today. See more about Cyndi's work & classes at http://www.fullcircleyogaarts.comIf you are a person with a chronic injury or disease or just need motivation to get started, see Yoga IS for everyone a u-tube video on Cyndi's website.

The Healing Mandala by John Stuart Brown
Reiki in  a Heart Shaped box of Chocolates 
 
  Reiki  is an amazing, relaxing experience, but it is the inner knowing of a young girl  on Valentine’s Day who defined Reiki best for me. The challenge of Reiki is  explaining it, defining it, helping others who have not experienced Reiki to understand it.  I watch people  evolve with Reiki. Negative attitudes turn positive, anger see new perspectives,  closed arms open for hugs—yet still, I struggle for the words. I watch  depression resolve, pain decrease, stress and anxiety calm—yet this intangible,
subtle energy called Reiki mystifies me after all these years of practice. I usually say, very logically, that “Reiki works with the energy part of you—which  is all of you, your body, mind, spirit and the energy that surrounds you, called  your aura.  When your life energy  is flowing free, that is good health and when it is not, Reiki clears the  pathway for healing to begin.  But  then a young woman, now alone on Valentine’s Day, reminded me of the true  essence of Reiki and that each person may know it in a different way. She  reached for the heart shaped box of chocolates she had brought for us to share, choosing a chocolate covered cherry.

  “It was Brad’s favorite,” she said, looking as though her first Reiki session had disappointed her. She took a  thoughtful bite, pausing, as her eyes welled with tears. “Reiki was different  for me,” she said.“It was silky, radiant; I felt a glow fill my arms and my  chest, my whole being.  Then I saw  my heart—I saw it—sugar coated, filled with light. It was so cool, so healing. And then I knew—I would  always be taken care of.”  It  was then I understood why Reiki is so hard to define; it is different for  everyone, every time. Reiki can only be known—once experienced.

Life Solutions is now located in the Country Village, Bothell Washington

Post Wellness: Power of Vision Boards

1/8/2012

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it ~  William Arthur Ward.

Creating  a clear and detailed vision of your goals, your dreams, and your life purpose is  vital to receiving precisely what you want. If you are not clear in what you  ask the universe, the results you receive will also be unclear. It is the Law  of Attraction. You get back what you  send out. The more clarity you have, the better! That is why having a vision and creating something like a vision board is so important. Once you see the vision you build your plan precisely as you see it. Some people find it easy to write their goals, their dreams, and their visions down on paper. They draw a few pictures and it comes to life for them. Most do better with a vision board.

Vision  boards have been used to display images of goals and dreams for decades. They  are also known as goal maps, dream boards, treasure maps and story boards. The Vision Board is a powerful tool for manifesting and finding pathways to  achieving your dreams. Traditionally, the vision board was created by simply  cutting out desired images from magazines or books and gluing them on cardboard or poster board, creating a collage of your life plan. This is important because putting your thoughts on something tangible communicates to your subconscious what it is that you outwardly want. Because sometimes it is the subconscious, inwardly, that is holding us  back.The subconscious works well with pictures and affirmations so find  things with true meaning to your life and purpose, draw images that represent  your goals, and create a collage that represents your desires, your dreams, your  needs, what you want your life to look like and feel like. What do you want your  future be? Picture it in motion, picture it now. Then create the visual. As you  place your images on the board and add your own drawings, you are virtually building a bridge between your thoughts and this tangible board that you can see  and feel. This is an action of manifestation, an amazingly powerful way to put  your dreams into motion. Find images that allow you to see your dream as a  reality.  If you want money for a car, write out a check with the price of the car on it and place it with a  picture of the car on your vision board. If you want a new home, draw a picture  of it with the perfect landscaping surrounding it and you sitting on the front  porch. Include  affirmations; they are the essence of positive self-talk. By declaring your  "wants and desires" to the Universe, you are one step closer to having them as a reality.

 Once your vision board is created, put it where you will see it  several times a day. Take a picture of it so you can see it at work or when you  are shopping. Use it as your computer screen saver or on your phone. Hang it on  a wall or make it the centerpiece on your kitchen table. Look at if often. This  will remind your subconscious throughout each day of the amazing things you are  welcoming into your life. 
The  concept of vision boarding has been around for a long time, its popularity  aning through the last couple of decades. But it has become incredibly popular  in recent years due to the success of the well-known documentary, The Secret.  In this documentary, John Asaraff demonstrates his use of a vision  boarding.  Within a few short years  of that demonstration, he attracted his dream home. 

It  is your unique set of gifts and talents, those attributes that assure this world  that you are like no other, the seeds of your success that have brought you to  this place. Organize your desires on a Vision board. Draw the journey. See the  paths, draw the connections.  Will  you draw a map or glue on a university brochure. Perhaps you see a sandy beach;  you’re walking barefoot, laughing, in love, in peace. .Make it your own, Live  it, love it, and it will be yours. 
 
Nancy  teaches dream board classes in Washington and they are tons of fun. Call for a  schedule 818-445-9274

 Do just once what others say you cannot do and you will never pay attention to
 their limitations again ~

 Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail, Explore, Dream, and  Discover  ~Mark  Twain


You  have an awesome, unique set of gifts and talents, attributes that assure this  world that what you have to offer is unlike what anyone else has to offer. You  have your own niche going on, a life purpose, and to pursue it allows you to
live your dreams. But  to live your dreams and know your life purpose you have to take action. You have  to seek it, work towards it, focus on it, believe in it and never stop  believing. You have to run with it knowing your greatness will, without a doubt, carry you through.

 Many  people never know their life purpose or pursue their dreams, or if they do, they  lose faith; they stop believing. They get so caught up in the rules of life they  lose site of the laws of success and passion and abundance. They forget about  tenacity, persistence, self-belief, the Law of Attraction, Conscious Creation,  rules and tools that create the knowing that, “I can do this.”   It is a realization that comes as you become accountable for those  talents and gifts, the very seeds to your own success  story.

"Faith is taking the first step even when  you don't see the whole staircase."-Martin  Luther King

 Truth is you will always be who you think you are. So think big, think positive, know  that you deserve all that is good. Get to really know yourself, your qualities,  your achievements and possibilities. Who you are has nothing to do with how  others see you, what they think of you, how they speak to you or how they treat  you. 

Your own mind is a sacred enclosure into which nothing harmful can enter except by  your permission.  Ralph Waldo Emerson.

But  who you are has everything to do with how you see and think of yourself.  And although knowing, acknowledging,  believing in yourself and telling yourself you are wonderful are attributes far from the humble way we were raised, they are the exact behaviors we need to embrace, to live our dreams.

Blog Post: Total Wellness requires Reiki Wellness

12/1/2011

When we talk about wellness, exercise, eating well, and a positive attude are usually the highlights of the discussion and Reiki is usually not considered. Yet Reiki is a wellness strategy that amongst other attributes,  breaks down blockages that hinder the healthy flow of life energy. These blockages often are caused by  stressors, a negative attitude or environment and negative self-talk. Life energy is called qi in China, ki in Japan, prana in India and science calls it  Biofield energy. A healthy flow of life energy is the foundation of good health  for all of your body systems. Once Reiki clears blocks, optimal health, in all  areas, can be obtained as we also engage in exercise, eating well and a positive outlook on life. A Reiki session is a great way to start the new year right. Out with the old blockages as a new year of abundance flows in. Consider Reiki.

Post Reiki: How Does Reiki Heal?

Life energy, called ki in Japan, qi or chi in China and Prana in
India, continuously flows through your physical body and your aura. Your aura is the energy that surrounds you. When this life energy flows freely it is called “Good Health.”

 When negative thoughts or feelings or environmental toxins and stressors block the path of this life energy—flow is diminished and poor health occurs. It is important to clear these blocks as they occur because when negative thoughts become subconcious and automatic,  they permanently  block the flow of life energy—and illness occurs.

Reiki clears and heals energy pathways restoring normal life energy flow. Each block released starts the healing process. Some people report that when a block is released during a Reiki session it feels hot or cold or like it is trickling away. Others do not report feeling the block release.  Either way, “Good health” is the outcome.
