I’ve been enjoying a vibrant
summer in Vancouver, Canada as well as travels to California. I have taken a break
from teaching full-time in Asia so that I can connect with my family and friends
and re charge my own physical practice and knowledge base. I am gearing up for
an amazing season of fitness and yoga camps and retreats in Thailand so I
want to be in peak mental and physical condition. I've got some really
exciting fitness events planned for the holidays.
While I'm in Vancouver for the summer I am offering one yoga class a week on Kit's Beach on Tuesday evenings from 6pm-7pm, the details are on my website. Click on photo
I’m currently pursuing a
90day challenge that I created for myself to stay grounded. I make it a daily
ritual to write down a tip on how to be more conscious, a physical workout or
class for the day and a quote that inspires me. I am motivated and eager to attend as many different styles
of classes and trainings in as many places as I can. This dedication to being more conscious
fuels my own fire for teaching, learning and growing.
I've come to love the experience of simply stepping into a yoga studio, there is a calming sensation that comes over me. I like the spaciousness, the smell of aroma therapy oils and the symbols and quotes written on the walls reminding me to be present. I guess it's the same feeling I used to get walking into a gym. There's a feeling of being home in a familiar place. I suppose it's like being in a foreign country and then seeing a Starbucks (lol).
Here are some fun photos
from my recent travels to Universal Studios, the San Diego Zoo, Victoria, BC and my last week of consciousness and personal training commitments.
I always enjoy the questions I get about, yoga, meditation, training and living. Your thoughts and comments are welcome, they keep me inspired!

Speak
compassionately - When having
conversation with others, do you choose your words wisely? Or are you the type
of person who could care less what you say? The truth is, people who choose
their words wisely and consciously think during conversation are the ones who
show greater respect for them-selves and more compassion for others. Make a
conscious effort to speak compassionately and positive results will follow.

Think positive, act
positive, be positive - Being a
positive influence sets a good example for others and for yourself. Positivity and states of being positive are direct effects of
raising your consciousness. I highly recommend trying to be a more positive
person in all areas of life; you will notice and feel the beneficial changes in
your awareness.

Simple meditation - Whether you are an advanced meditator or a beginner,
the benefits are tremendous and will allow you to tap into your highest state
of conscious functioning if you stick around long enough. It is an act that
will definitely raise your conscious awareness and allow you to attain greater
focus, discipline, and develop a deeper joyous connection to life.

Identify with your soul - Realize that at your core, you are a spiritual being
who is living in a physical body. In lower stages of consciousness, this
concept may seem unrealistic and may be very difficult to grasp. As you become
better at identifying with your soul, you become better at working your way up
the mountain of consciousness.

See perceived faults as a “mirror image” - When you look at the faults of others and identify
faults in other people, use them as a teaching tool for yourself. The people
that are in your life weren’t put there by mistake; they were put there to
teach you something about yourself. By being able to take personal
responsibility for what is being displayed by others into your conscious focus,
you can take the information and make very positive changes.

Expand your
horizons - Trying something new
can pertain to any area of your life. Maybe you want to try to add a new
healthy habit to your daily routine, shop at an organic store, or even host a
block party for the first time. Having courage raises your consciousness and by
constantly trying new things, you boost your cognitive ability to adapt and
push through any lower states of fear.

Face your deepest fears - Are there any fears that you’re holding inside that
are prevent you from making conscious advancement? At certain stages along the
ladder of consciousness, it can be extremely difficult to face your fears. With
that said, facing your fears will equip your consciousness with more
empowerment and energy. Healthy fears include: giving a speech, singing in
front of others, or throwing a party; this would be a great list of fears to go
out and conquer! The choice to face these will help you considerably in your
ability to make conscious advances.

Use powerful
incantations - Incantations are
simply words or phrases repeated over and over with emotional intensity for
personal or spiritual benefit. They have commonly been used in religious
practices to praise certain Gods or deities, but they have also been used for
personal development and in the process of becoming more conscious. No matter
what way you choose to use incantations, they can be very helpful and a
powerful catalyst for helping you become more conscious.
