Primary guidelines

Finding my focus on how to live my dream life is taking a bit longer than a couple of days to write down. To find what is really important might be a list that will be forever changing but there are some key factors that will be forever constant, that are my primary guidelines no matter how my life will develop in the physical manifestation.

This is what I've come to so far;

Unity
Abundance
I am peace, light, compassionate, loving
Open and well connected (grounded)
Structured but not rigid

These guidelines are/will be built and refined upon daily practice of yoga on and of the mat. So far they have "set root" in me but they will acquire constant watering and nourishment to grow.

My intension today...


...is to look into my heart and find my focus on how my life would be if I lived my dream life and then... stay focused on that. (List is coming shortly.)

Up until now I have in many ways just tagged along in all the winding ways that life has taken me. In many ways found myself feeling as if I have no power to really change the situation or feeling like a victim. I'm in a position in life now to find a new focus and manifest it.

A theme that lately has come up in different ways lately is that many people live as if there is not abundance for everyone, that there is competition about everything.

My focus is on charing.

There is enough for everyone!!!

Alone, separate we are fragile but together we're strong, we can create miracles.

Unity comes first on my list of living my dream.

Beginners session

I'm healing really well and tonight I will do my first own yoga session. I can put as much pressure on the wound as I please as long as I listen to the bodies signals, said the doctor. The navel is such a central part of the body that it's first now that I've been able to move freely without pain. It will be interesting to see if there is any new sensations when my center is whole.

Couple Doing Yoga

My new BF will join me for what I think will be a beginners style session. It turns out though he's done ashtanga yoga many years ago and he wants to start practicing again. It's wonderful to have a BF who's into the same things that you are. In this busy life there is so little room to find space together. We met at a meditations group and he's all into the path of spiritual growth awareness.

Easy does it

With local anesthesia the operation was over in 30 minutes and I could leave the hospital an hour later. So quick and effortless. Now I have very little pain but feel a bit tired since I tensed my muscles during operation. It's a very special feeling knowing that they have cut you open and are sewing inside your body. I couldn't see anything and if it started to hurt they gave me more anesthesia that worked right away.
The doctor said I can move as I please and just listen to the bodies signals of pain. Today I'm in my robe resting, reading and watching movies.

Totally scrubbed

I have never been this clean ever in my life. I'm scrubbed from head to toe, twice last night before bed, then twice this morning. I'm having a small operation today on my navel at 11 am and I will leave the hospital this afternoon.

I will be on sick leave for the rest of the week since I should not put to much pressure on my abs. Hm, my abs, the story of my life. They will definitely get good attention from me when I'm healed.

There will be no going to the yoga shala this week, just a lot of mindfullness, resting and reading. Possibly a whole lot of yoga videos. A little fall resting vacation.

Regularity pays off

Yamanashi, Japan.
Monday - sweaty flowing viryaflow with Josefine - inspiring, freeing, whole body strengthening - connecting to truth.
Tuesday - core and arm practice - shaktiflow with Marianne - back is really strong - abs are painfully weak.
Wednesday - 2 hour meditation with Leo - heart opening happened - green green heart chakra - my truth, my path - wisdom and love - the heart is the gateway.
Thursday - anusara with Helena - arm balances - one practice at the time, never giving up, patients - it pays off - one day you think it is impossible and the next day it's happening - finding my balance and streangth here now - REGULARITY PAYS OFF.
Friday - my meditation group - resting day from hatha yoga but 4 hours of meditation with my superwomangroup.
Saturday and Sunday with my BF in the countryside - forest walks and some time for yoga too.

Ausara and Viryayoga has helped me with a 6 days practice schedule a week with no injuries and pains - just wonderful sore muscles that are slowly building streangth, balance and endurance.

Letting go go go

My windows are being renovated. I'm living with plastic covers over the windows. On Friday I got the windows back on one side and I could finally put my furniture in order again after having had workers running in and out of my apt. for 3 weeks.

The positive thing about renovation (after the frustration of having dust and dirt and not being able to move around so much) is that it can really inspire to let go of things that you do not need. I changed some of my furniture, bought some new and didn't want to throw the old ones away. Having no space in my storage room I just had to take everything out and really take a plunge into my history to see what I wanted to keep. I ended up giving and throwing tons of stuff away and ended up with more space. I like very much! It's such a relief to let go!

Today it's my favorite day of the week with my new womens therapy group in the afternoon and then ending the day with Virya yoga with a fav. teacher.

Namaste beautiful flowers.
