I want to dive deep into an understanding of the practice of mindfulness and its power to change your mind, change your perception and how you response to the world. To be mindful is to develop Self-Awareness and essentially integrate and coordinate your personality as an effective vehicle for soul expression.

Your Soul has a note, so crystal clear that its expression resounds through the cosmos creating vibrations of truth, beauty and goodness rippling out in great transforming waves to affect the expression of life itself.

Each of us has our own unique way of making a difference in the world and this is something that becomes increasingly clear as the intuitive communication channels to our Soul or Higher Self become open and clear.

We cannot selectively close our heart, when we close down to avoid emotional pain we also stop the natural flow of love, joy and inspiration that gives life its magic. We come to understand how closing our heart to feeling the authentic emotions of life depletes our energy, our vitality and ultimately has very negative effects on our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well being. But there is an alternative, learn how to remain open, authentic, embracing all that life has to offer and living to your fullest potential in doing so.

By simply understanding how the breath connects the mind and the body you can change both your mental and your physical state by consciously changing the way you breathe.

Garudasana frees the energy of change in the heart The Eagle is a powerful posture that has the potential to transform through its actions on releasing energy blockages especially around the solar plexus/diaphragm area of the physical body. This is associated with the Manipura Chakra in the subtle body. These energy blockages arise from unexpressed emotions especially anger and frustration and when we feel we cannot express our true Self. If allowed to accumulate these blocked energies will eventually depress the flow of both subtle and physical energy in the body resulting in Depression and an inability to ignite the will to make positive changes in our life. The Eagle transforms by activating and shifting the energy up into the Heart Chakra, Anahata. This cultivates the quality of truthfulness with oneself and others. The power of the will energy is restored and transformation begins. Physically the Eagle improves the shoulder, leg and hip and back flexibility, strength and mobility and restores good balance and co-ordination. There is improved circulation to the sexual organs and the kidneys. Emotionally we feel lighter, happier, with more vitality and a bubbly feeling of well being. Mentally there is renewed purpose with a return of the ability to focus and concentrate the mind and the will. We are able to make the required changes in our life. The Eagle in nature has a powerful ability with its single pointed vision to see its prey and focus all of its energies and physically capability on capturing that prey and achieving its goal. It flies with effortless grace executing wonderful aerial manoeuvres that leave us in awe of this magnificent creature.

When we feel energised, inspired and positive we are standing in our own personal power. This energy is a result of the strong connection to our truth, our inner Self, understanding who we are and what we need. We learn how to peacefully assert ourselves giving clear boundaries on what is acceptable to us and what is not. As our confidence and feelings of self-worth grow we learn to discriminate between situations and people that support our light shining and those that dim our light. We learn to step into our power, our creative energy flows and we start to live a truly inspiring life, making a difference in the unique way only we can. This can be a lifetime’s work.
