Happy New Year!
New Years day in my
home is spent with my son writing a list of 'goals' he
intends to complete for the year. They range
from climbing a mountain to getting to 'expert' on the latest
video game. The 2008 list is now magnetized on the
refrigerator and some point next Christmas will be
reviewed in order to quickly complete any goals not yet
done. For my son, the act of checking off goals is
immensely satisfying.
I love this time when I
may reflect upon my past year, and be aware of the
possibilities yet to be. Deep winter is
perfect to imagine and create what it is you most desire to
bring into your life. How do you know what you
most desire? What is True for you? And, how do you
act upon this truth? Here's an
easy Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy style practice to
find your True (Yoga) Intention for 2008.
FIND your
True Intention
1) PAUSE. Find a
comfortable place to sit & get quiet. Close your
eyes. Breathe for a few moments.
2) NOTICE. Notice how you've
placed your body. Notice your
emotions & your thoughts. Do this without
having to change or figure out anything. Simply
notice.
3) FIND WISDOM. Go to that place
within yourself that is your own best friend, and ask,
"What would be the most wondrous thing I choose to
receive by bringing yoga into my life this
year?" Tune in to whatever shows up - whether
words, an image, a feeling. Stay with it until it gets
clear.
4) REALIZE &
SET. Imagine that you are now fully
living the wisdom of this truth. Notice your thoughts,
emotions in this moment. Let this
feeling land in your body as a container for your
yoga intention for the year.
5) ACT. Ask
yourself - What might be one thing you could do
in the next month to support your True Yoga
Intention? Consider which class, workshop,
event would most support your Truth? For
inspiration, look at what is listed in in this newsletter
& find more on the online calendar.
6) HAVE FUN! Use my son's
technique - write your intentions & actions
and magnetize it to your refrigerator. Then, when
you check it off, write to me with your True Yoga Intention
story. Tell us what you found. I'll even put the
stories online! Soleil's 2008 True Intentions for
