When your mind holds on, it keeps the body prisoner.

What you hold onto is unable to go anywhere; to grow, to move, unable to let go.

Holding onto the habit of having dessert, or having stories you say about yourself or precieve others to say about you. Clinging to the past or things that are similar & safe. Holding on or back from emotions or needs by plugging them into the body. Swallowing your words to absorb into the body. Leaving all the habits, stories, belifs, emotions and unreleased elements as the bodies responsibility. Creating problems in the body whether one is conscious of the existence.

According to Krishna Das we have a muscle in the mind that we forget is there. This is called “letting go” muscle. Krishna Das says we have developed a strong “holding on” muscle in the mind, but the “letting go” muscle is undeveloped.

It's a morden day survival method to hold on, to cling, to attach to familiar, to hoord & excessively collect.
Our world is so stressful, we don't have time to process all that comes to us, happens to us, what we witness and what we create. It's as if we do not have time to experience ourselves that we leave it in the 'out box' , the 'deal with it later box', the 'chair of mess', ' draw of disorganization bits which don't have a category'. If you keep trying to fill a container up with food, it will start to break down, but it has no where to ' GO'. And eventually has to cause disruption in the hopes something can be done about it.

LETTING GO, is one of those easier said than done things. Letting go needs to be approach like a new routine or habit.
To let go, you need practice & need to start small.
Practicing letting go of little things so that when big stresses arise you can release, clear out, let go.
*if one doesn't begin a letting go practice all of a sudden the container is full, you end up stuck or sick or overwhelmed in emotions.

Notice what memories have you trapped in the past, what emotions you cling to, the thoughts & stories you tell, your habits, & beliefs you hold to. Then give your “letting go” muscle some exercise and begin to let go. You can survive without holding it all in. Let go, let go, let go

Skandasana in sanskrit is the posture of the god of war.

When I teach kids I call it Ninja pose, because Skanda means attacker or someone who jumps. Best to think of it as "I got jumped on the way home and they took my wallet". It is someone with tactics that is fast.

Skanda is nickname for the son of Shiva and Agni. Kárttikeya lead Shivas army against the enemies of the gods to save the world.

Rather than thinking of war each time you are in this pose, embrace Kárttikeys meaning: the be brave, active, vigorous and have inspiring courage.

When you practice this pose I invite you to feel brave and be bold.
Without trying, where is the growth? What's the worst that will happen? You fall on you butt - happens even to the best of us.
I invite you acknowledge your stronger than you think, so have the courage to hold the pose. To be curious with your arms, with the extension of your leg and with your relievè.

This pose is from a God that creates destruction and repairs for a better earth.
Play to find your most challenging end point and play to feel the empowerment of your body giving it a go.

Is there anywhere else in your life you can take on curiosity, bravery and courage?
What battles are you fighting in your life?
Can you be bold in your decisions.
Have strength to keep going.
And play (be less serious) in the chaos.
Could you embody one who is respected by the gods to take on all battles?

Above the storm of life ~
When a storm is coming all other birds take shelter. The eagle alone, avoids the storm by flying above it.

In Sanskirt one of the king of birds is the eagle ; Gaurda
Gaurda represents courage, stability, strength, clarity and determination.

The gaurda become famous as the story of Lord Krishna or Vishnu being impressed by the birds power and strength. The bird was a guide and blessing. In the story the gaurda asks Vishnu how he can help, and Lord Vishnu asks the bird to be his Mount (vahana). The bird was loyal and protective of his Lord. Gaurda referred to as the 'one who can lift immensely heavy loads'. Both physical and mental loads.

Across scriptures gaurda can be known as 'the one who has beautiful features' (suparna) or suvarnakaya- with a golden body and 'devourer' (nagantaka) because eagles are the enemies of snakes; physically and metaphorically. It is even said to chant the gauropanishad will nullify the effects of poison and such embody of gaurda will cut through the portals of negative energies in order for self- purification

To embody this pose is to focus the mind, breath and drishti (one point focus). The asana encourage students to let go of the minds citta and ego; to remain present. When practiced with awareness legs will find stability, ego find gratitude, core strength will preserve and the mind instill humility.

Humility will help you to stand up for yourself and others. To expand for internal vision and perspective. To try new things and not to give up. Shift your vision to see the purpose or what is bigger than you & this moment. Dive into challenges, see everything with clarity and move with trust.
On the mat or off; through in the storms of life… May your heart soar like an Gaurda.

I've been on a search, to get OUT OF MY OWN DAM WAY.
Searching for my natural optimum health
Searching to do what my purpose is and what I love,
Searching for income that brings me joy,
Searching for assurance that who I love and how I love is right,
Searching for adventure without overpowering anxiety
Searching for self- esteem and confidence over victiminzing myself based on the past.
Searching for my highest self,
Searching if I should stay in a safe job,
I've been searching for a life with ease:
But This search has been like dreaming and not living.
The search has been a Rollercoaster that I want to get off but my destination isn't coming.

There is a Japanese saying 'Ikigai' - which means the intersection between what you love, What you are good at and what the world needs and what you can be paid for.
It is this bliss and purpose and intention behind what you are doing. There's a reason you get out of bed, it is your purpose of being, being alive. That thing that sets your heart of fire. So Disregard what people think get out of your head. Release the ego. Get out of your own dam way. Go create the life you want because safety is an illusion, and happiness is a choice.

Aria Get Out of the way
IKIGAI coming through

Anger is often a subconscious reflection that something isn't going as expected or this is not the current path.

The most common causes of anger in relationships can be unmet expectations & projection.

Previously I have talked about contracts we make with the people we love, with ourselves & the universe that nobody signed up on.

THROUGH SWIPING YOU CAN LEARN WHAT ANGER MEANS (swipe 3-4), HOW TO SHIFT IT (5-6), TIPS (7) & HOW TO CREATE HARMONY (9)

Things to recognize when your angry with someone else:
• The anger is really about you, your angry at yourself for being disappointed or not communicating your own needs
• Communication is important. No one can read your mind.
• Expecting people to pick up on your physical & emotional cues e.g being exhausted. No one 'should know' assumptions are unhelpful.
• 56% of people struggle to be heard. There are many reasons for this one is you are not being clear with yourself about what you need, therefore you feel unsatisfied and take it out on your loved one for not knowing any better than yourself.
• A person cannot make you feel whole or complete. They cannot fix you. You must do the work. They are not responsible for your conditioning patterns.
• Expecting loved ones to pick us up, fill our buckets up when we have allowed ourselves to be depleted & drained.
• We project our pain & baggage onto our partner. Maybe deciding our behaviour is a consequence of theirs. Certain behavioir or words yout partner uses can anger you. Their language or actions may not have come from a negative intention but you have perceived it that way.
• Your own self-worth is low
• You jump to conclusions because you have been constantly hurt
• Confrontation scares you
• Inability to expect who your partner is & sometimes yourself e.g do you say your too sensitive?? - sensitivity is not a bad thing, shift this mindset.

I am ready for this new cycle. This new season. This new journey.
I acknowledge that my empathy & sensitivities make me the most Compassionate loving inutuive healer. A channel my shamanic ancestors. I see the trial goddess in my reflection. My gifts allow me to flow divine energy to support each individuals needs. I am strong. I am loving. I am positive. I have the power to clear all negativity and stress from my body. I embrace my physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness
I will honor my intuition. I will listen to my dreams. I will not second-guess my inner voice. I will seek to find balance with my intuition and other aspects of my life so that I can express my full spectrum of sensitivities and be whole.

I am a liberator. I choose to free myself & others from outmolded beliefs. I choose to release negative patterns.
I choose to see where there is tyranny. I choose to recognize the constraints that I & others put upon me. I take responsibility for what I need to learn. I choose break free what holds subconsciousness back.

Bathing in the liquid wave of stars holding a flame up above my goddess warrior head. Ready to with all unconditional love to fly. I embrace the spirit angel inside of me. Freedom.

• Witness your thoughts, acknowledge you contribute to your state of being & accept responsible for your choices
• Ask the universe for help
• Practice non judgement towards yourself & others
