Yoga has a sly, clever way of short-circuiting the mental patterns that cause anxiety.
-Baxter Bell
I couldn't agree more - yoga is the #1 thing that brought me peace and sanity when I was going through the rollercoaster ride of my divorce. I found it helped me...
get back in touch with my Diamond Power- my feminine essence and true inner beauty.
Although I am in a much better place today I still rely on my practice to take out the trash in my mind and connect me with the purity of my soul.
My yoga guru's, Govindas, Bryan Kest, and Wayne Lehrer explain the meaning of yoga to be the total balance of mind, body and spirit. A confronting discipline for sure as each pose mimics the challenges you face in life, but break throughs and growth are guaranteed.
Well no wonder this is the absolute best fix for a woman going thru any mind mania – especially divorce where you tend to feel like your life is spiraling out of control and you desperately need something to hang onto and anchor your spin-out.
I found these five benefits from yoga were like the Fountain of Youth and helped me get my Diamond Power back:
• Peace – focusing on my breath for 1 1/2 hours didn't allow me to think about everything that was making me crazy and stressed out. I always walked out of class in a state of total well being - like I didn't have a care in the world. This is the cheapest form of therapy around!
• Balance – I was so out of whack trying to do it all, living in the masculine mode, I had forgotten my feminine side. Yoga brought me into alignment with my feminine energy and helped me let go of my masculine energy creating a blissful balance.
• Strength – every pose requires physical strength, which in turn gives you emotional strength.
• Centeredness – dynamic breathing and its ability to bring mind, body and spirit into alignment is the #1 take-away of a yoga practice.
• Clarity – setting your intention for clarity at the beginning of your practice will clear your confusion.
So if you find yourself in need of some mental housekeeping, don’t wait to give yourself the gift of this cleansing discipline - get on a mat today!!
You are far too valuable not to be living fully in your Diamond Power now.
