There is a difference between doing yoga and simply making an asana of ourselves.

“There is a difference between doing yoga and simply making an asana of ourselves. Yoga is a meditative experience which promotes inner calmness and tranquility… Each practice is like a new day. Enter it with the eyes of a child. Find wonder in the practice of yoga. Feel joy in breathing fully.
Vinyasa is more than simply moving the body on a physical level. Vinyasa is dancing with the energy of the universe. It is the external of the invisible movement of our subtle life-force.

Two shoulder stretches for the end of your day

By Esther Ekhart

Try these two simple stretches for your shoulders. These are great if you spend your 

day sitting at a desk or for anyone with stiff shoulders. Esther also guides you through

thsese stretches in a free video at the end of the article. 

Stretch One

Sit on your heels with your knees wide apart.  Place your hands in front of you with 

your fingers pointing towards you and the heels of your hand pointing away. 

Very gently lean into the hands stretching out the back of the wrists, the inner arm

s and the shoulders.
 

To deepen the stretch, walk your hands away from you a little further. Don’t go too far.

  You don’t need to go to your edge just because you can! 

Draw the pubic bone under a little so you don’t overarch the lower back.

Hold the stretch for two to three minutes.

Stretch Two

For the second stretch sit on your mat. It's fine to sit up on something like a block

 if that helps to keep your spine long.

Bend your left knee and then bring the right bent leg on top.

You can keep the lower leg extended if that’s more comfortable.

Take both arms up and turn the palms so that they are facing away from you

. Then bring

 your hands behind you into a reverse namaste (prayer position).

You can also hold your opposite elbows.
 

Hold the pose, breathing comfortably, perhaps for a minute and a half. Then release

 the arms, swap your legs and do the other side.  

Try these stretches whenever you get the chance during the day - your shoulders 

will love it!

Arm Rotation in Downward Facing Dog

Marlene Henny takes us through a couple of techniques to practice the correct alignment for the arms in Downward Facing Dog.
Downward Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) is one of the first yoga poses many people will learn. It is brilliant for building strength in the body. It brings energy but also calms the body and can be a neutralising rest pose in between twists and backbends.
However, in Downward Facing Dog it’s quite common for people to roll the shoulder heads and upper arms inwards. This can scrunch up the shoulders and neck, creating tension and making the pose harder to hold.
 
4 Steps to an easier Downward Dog
Here is a simple exercise to learn how to align your shoulders and to make Downward Dog easier and more comfortable to hold.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 1. Sit on your heels with your open arms straight out to the sides, palms facing down.
Turn your palms upwards to roll the upper arms and shoulder heads back (so your thumb will be pointing behind you). Allow the shoulder blades to draw down the back keeping the base of the neck free and relaxed. You might start to feel more space and ease in your neck and shoulders already.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 2. Then, keeping the upper arms rolled out, flip just the wrist back so it is facing the ground.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 3. Keep this alignment and rotation and bring your arms to the front.  Keep the arm bones plugged back into their sockets to create a strong frame with your shoulders.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 4. Place the hands on the floor in front of you with your fingers spread, pushing firmly through the base of the first finger and thumb especially.
 
Setting the alignment of the hands and arms coming into the pose. 
When you tuck your toes and extend your legs into the pose, your upper arms stay rotating outwards instead of in, and your shoulders will feel broad. This takes out the tension and you will feel way more relaxed and spacious in the shoulders.
 
Tip
If you are limited because of tightness you can bring your shoulders a little bit forward instead of bringing shoulders back towards the thighs. Keep the shoulder blades on the back and stay here in the pose. Let your neck be in line with the spine allowing the energy to flow freely.

Relief with a Twist

Soothe your nerves and quiet your mind by relaxing into this restorative posture.

 Have you spent a long day trying to juggle more than you can 

handle? Does it feel like a storm of worries is spiraling through you? Are you barely breathing? Do your shoulders ache? Is your spirit sagging?

Instead of heading for the snacks or the TV, consider settling into the restorative twistsalamba bharadvajasana (supported Bharadvaja’s twist). This sweet and soothing posture stretches the back, cleanses the abdominal organs, and nudges the breath toward a state of calm. It also has the power to melt anxieties and generate a profound state of ease in your being.

This soothing posture stretches the back, cleanses the abdominal organs, and nudges the breath toward a state of calm.

Because it is a forward-bending twist, salamba bharadvajasana is not appropriate for pregnant women or those with lower back ailments. As with any yoga posture, if practicing it brings discomfort rather than relief, seek the guidance of an experienced yoga instructor.

Are you ready to give this soothing twist a try? Here’s how:

1. Fold and stack two blankets so they are long and wide enough to support your torso and head. (A bolster or a few firm pillows will work, too.) Sit on your shins with your hips on your heels in vajrasana (thunderbolt pose). Position the narrow end of the blankets a few inches beside your right ankle. Root the sitting bones downward, and lengthen the spine upward.

2. With an uplifted heart, twist to the right, toward the blankets. Place your hands on the ground on either side of the support, as you lengthen your spine and settle your torso onto the blankets. Let your hips follow along, so that the left thigh rises away from the heels, and the right hip slides onto the ground in between your right heel and the blankets. Rest your arms on the ground on either side of the blankets, and settle your head onto the support with your nose pointing in the same direction as your knees.

3. Readjust the body until you feel a deep sense of comfort and ease. Experiment with repositioning your legs just a bit—stretching them out or folding them toward your hips—so they settle into a shape that feels soothing. You might also consider repositioning the blankets closer to or farther away from your hips until your midsection feels completely relaxed. (Some students prefer to have the belly well supported in this pose, while others like to shift the bolster farther away from the hips so the belly can hang freely.)

4. Once you’ve found a comfortable resting position, let go completely. Welcome the embrace of gravity, relax your muscles, and allow your body to grow heavy. Invite theback body to grow broad and soft. Unclench your jaw and encourage your exhalations to lengthen. You might even invite a soft, soothing sigh of relief to pour out of you, as you practice the fine art of surrender. Rest here from 2 to 10 minutes.

5. When you are ready to emerge from the pose, press your hands into the ground to support your torso as you return to a seated position. Sit quietly for a few breaths in vajrasana, noticing how the experience has changed your breath, your body, and your mood. And then reposition the bolsters to your left, and settle into this beautiful restorative twist on the other side.

A guide to setting your intetion in a yoga class

Posted on 2 Oct 2013 by The Yoga Getaway

By Emily Hudson

Yoga class often begins with the instructor inviting students to silently “set an intention”.  In my very first yoga class, I heard this “set your intention” phrase and literally thought to myself, “Uhh… my intention is to do this yoga class.”  That didn’t get me very far in deepening my practice.

I like to think of myself as a person’s person (in other words, I would like to think that I’m not the only one who finds the “set your intention” phrase confusing).  What does setting an intention mean?  What are the benefits of setting an intention in yoga class?

What is an intention?

An intention can be something deeply personal or something physical.  It’s a continual aspiration to guide you toward balance in your life.  To treat myself with love and respect.  To find peace in my heart.  To let love in.  By calling to the forefront of your mind what your soul is needing most, your intention will in some ways set itself.  You can use your intention to connect your practice to being.

When setting your intention, remember:

-There is no right or wrong way to set an intention, and it comes in different forms for everyone.  Whether it’s a word, a dedication, a quote, a prayer…  just be open to whatever comes to mind (aiming to steer clear of material things).

-Setting an intention is not the same as setting a goal for yourself.  An intention focuses on what is of most value to you in the now, as opposed to a goal, which is directed toward a future outcome.

An Intention is…“To accept where I am today without judgment.”

An Intention is Not…“I wish to hold crow pose today for 5 seconds.”

The Benefits of Setting an Intention

The idea in yoga is to keep your mind and body present, truly in the moment.  Particularly in the beginning of class, my mind is off in La La Land drumming up some interesting topics of conversation with itself (usually ending with a statement related to a craving for happy hour fare).

I love her shirt.  There is so much cat hair on my shirt.  I need cat food from the grocery store.  Oh, and I have to remember to pick up avocados.  Oooo, guacamole sounds good!

I have realized over time that intentions induce focus.  They act as filters.  They can help to keep your mind from wandering and keep your spirit fulfilled by what matters most.

Another benefit of setting an intention?  The ability to take it with you off the mat.  Using it to guide your actions and decisions.  I often find myself seeking patience in yoga class, then calling my intention forth when, for example, I’m on the 405 Freeway or lost in Ikea.  Recalling our intentions throughout the day helps us to lead a values-based life.

Setting your intention

Allow yourself to recognize the first word that comes to mind when the instructor invites you to set an intention.  For me, the first word is usually a value I would like to bring into my life or insight into how I’m truly feeling on that particular day.  The most powerful intentions, those that can be carried with you over time, speak to the feelings that would bring value to your life.  When you begin setting intentions, I would suggest starting with how you feel, then build your intention on your instinct.

Feeling –><– Intention

Anger         –><– Forgiveness
Fear            –><– Comfort
Weakness    –><– Strength
Sadness       –><– Joy
Doubt          –><– Peace
Insecurity    –><– Confidence
Instability    –><– Balance
Betrayal       –><– Truth
Indifference –><– Compassion
Constraint   –><– Freedom
Emptiness    –><– Fulfillment
Loneliness    –><– Community

Setting intentions at the beginning of each practice has helped me to realize that what I need to feel fulfilled is never material goods.  As a self-proclaimed shopaholic, I often get carried away placing high value on things like clothes and shoes.  It’s interesting, though, that those things have never crossed my mind when setting an intention.  Trust, love, openness, joy, honesty.  Intentions are a beautiful reminder that those values are woven into our core for a reason.  What our hearts seek are the things that matter most — both on and off the mat.  Namaste.

10 Hip Opening Poses to Awaken Your Root & Sacral Chakras. ~ Kristen Coyle

Via elephant journal 

Hip Openers powerfully stimulate and balance the muladhara, or root and svadisthana, or sacral chakras.

By physically rooting our pelvic floor and the base of our spine into the Earth, we plug ourselves into the vibrational current of the planet.
When we open our hips we restore our reproductive organs, which at a base level represent the original creative force driving existence. Through creating balance in these chakras we can become grounded, comfortable within our own identity, and inherently creative.
Before you practice this sequence, sit in a meditative position and meditate on something you would like to let go of that you feel prevents you from expressing yourself fully. Do a few Chandra Namaskaras, or moon salutations of your choosing such as Shiva Rea’s Chandra Namaskara (look up “Moon Shine with Shiva Rea: Yoga at Home from Yoga Journal” on YouTube for a great demo of this sequence). Focus on mindful long deep breaths.
After you complete the sequence close with Savasana. Offer the practice towards releasing what you chose to focus on letting go of. Surrender the fruits of the practice to the Universal Current.
Honor the Supreme Self, and of course, have a green juice.

1. Tarasana (Star Pose):

Sit with the sole of the feet together. Allow the knees to drop open to each side. Use the hands to pull the flesh back from under the sitz bones. Your heels should be about two feet from your pelvic floor, but choose whatever distance feels the most comfortable to hold for an extended period. Tilt the torso forward and take a hold of the feet.
Inhale, elongate your spine. Exhale, roll the body forward effortlessly drawing the forehead towards the heels. Relax into this yin posture for two to five minutes. Allow the exhalation to be longer than the inhalation.

2. Wheel of Life Twist:

From Star Pose, keep the right leg in external rotation (with the knee falling open to the side). Rotate the left leg so it mirrors the right leg, with both feet pointing back and the knees at 90 degree angles. Begin to walk your hands to the right, allowing the spine to twist so the breastbone faces the floor. Strongly engage Mula Bandha.
As you inhale lengthen the spine, as you exhale, twist a little deeper. You might be able to rest your right forearm on the floor, fingers tucked under your straight left arm. Strongly spread the left palm open on the floor and energetically (without actually moving the hand) try to drag the hand towards the shoulder socket. This will traction your spine and stretch your quadratus lumborum muscle.
Change sides by slowly walking your hands back and unwinding out of the twist. Keep the legs as they are, place the hands behind the hips, and pivot on your feet until your knees now point to the left. Repeat the twist to the left.

3. Mandukasana (Frog Pose):

Love it or leave it, this is adductor heaven, or hell. From Wheel of Life twist, come onto hands and knees. Keeping your knees bent at a right angle, begin to open them out to each side.
Keep the heels in alignment with the knees and flex the feet gently. Keep the pelvis in alignment with the knees, the tendency is to come too far forward with the pelvis, if in doubt, rock the seat back a bit.
Attempt to get the knees wider than the outside of the mat. If you are comfortable release the forearms to the floor, keep pulling the front ribs up towards the spine and breathe. If you are very open in your adductors you can rest your stomach on the floor. Hold for one to five minutes. To release, gently walk the hands forward, and come onto the stomach. You might rock the hips side to side to release them.

4. Urdhva Muka Svanasa (Upward Facing Dog):

A must after Frog Pose! From prone (on the stomach) position, place the hands under the shoulders, press the tops of the feet into the floor. Inhale, leading with the heart, curl the upper body away from the floor, elongating the crown of the head up and possibly back.
Pull the upper arm bones back and counter this by lifting the chest forward and up. Allow the knees to come off the floor by pressing the tops of the feet down. Without moving the hands, energetically draw them back towards the hips. Notice how this propels your heart center up towards the ceiling. Keep the buttocks soft by activating mula bandha and gently pulling the navel in and up. Hold for ten breaths. Find Downward Facing Dog.

5. Prasarita Padottanasana Kriya (Standing Wide Angle Forward Bend Clearing):

From Downward Facing Dog, frog leap your feet around your hands. Open the feet so they are about 3 1/2-4 ft. apart. Let the toes point straight ahead and rock a little more weight into the heels. Keeping the weight in the heels, walk your hands forward as far as you are able to, so that your upper body mirrors Downward Facing Dog. Root your fingertips into the floor and notice how this allows you to engage your shoulder blades and draw them towards the spine gently.



With an exhale, keep the arms and legs in place and bend your knees, sinking the hips towards the floor, track the knees open, keeping the over the heels as much as possible. With an inhale, straighten the legs and return to the original position. Repeat five times. You may hold the positions as well after pulsing for ten breaths each. When complete, take a Vinyasa back into Downward Facing Dog.

6. Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (One Legged King Pigeon Pose):

From Downward Facing Dog, Inhale and place your left knee on the floor at the base of your left thumb. Open the foot towards the right hip and slide the right leg as far back as possible. Keep in the hips squared.
Gently press through the ball of the left foot, and perhaps slide the foot forward so the left shin is aligned with the front edge of the mat. Energetically keep trying to pull the left hip back and the right hip forward to create a rooted feeling into the Earth. Draw the navel towards the spine and inhale the hands back towards the hips, extending the spine up into a mini back bend. Hold for ten breaths.
Fold forward, extending the arms out in front of you and hold for another ten breaths. Gently release, Vinyasa through to the other side.
Think of this pose as plugging your tailbone into the current of the earth—on each inhale, visualize light energy from the earth being drawn into the root of the spine and up through the Sushumna Nadi to the crown of the head; on each exhale, allow the light energy to release back down the spine and into the earth.
Return to Downward Facing Dog. Repeat on the right side.

7. Hanumanasana (Monkey God Hanuman’s Pose):

I love this pose as it symbolizes taking a leap of faith into the unknown, trusting your heart to guide you along the way.
It is dedicated to Hanuman, who selflessly serving his dear friend Rama, leaped across the Indian Ocean from India to what is now Sri Lanka to locate Rama’s true love, Sita, from where she was being held captive, and also spy on her vicious demonic captors. The path was wrought with peril, but Lord Hanuman through his Devotional Love and Selfless Service came through victorious and found Sita.
As you do this asana, meditate on where you would like to make leaps and bounds in your own life. Visualize your self lovingly overcoming any ‘hurdles’ in your path.  A good affirmation is, “I am moving forward with grace and ease.”
From Downward Facing Dog, on inhale, extend your left leg up. On exhale, curl the left knee towards the forehead, keeping the hips high.  Gaze forward and lightly step the foot between the hands into a low lunge. Come onto your fingertips of blocks if you have tight hips.
Keep the heart lifted and a gentle bend in your left front knee. Continue to inch your right leg back until the length of your right back leg rests on the earth and the front knee is straight. The pelvic floor will eventually rest on the earth. Keep the top of the right back thigh on the floor by tucking the back toes under.
If you cannot do the full pose, keep a gentle bend in the front knee and rest the hands on blocks, align the blocks with the sides of your hips. Like Pigeon, energetically draw the front hip back and the back hip forward to keep the hips squared. On inhale, engage the core and lift the heart towards the sky. Hold for ten breaths.
Add a twist if you would like. If the left leg is in front, twist to the left, take a hold of the back leg with the left hand, and the front, outer thigh with the right hand. On inhale, lengthen from the base of the spine up through the crown of the head. On exhale, twist from the core a little deeper. Unwind from the twist slowly. Vinyasa, and repeat on the right side.

8. Uppavistha Konasa (Spread Wide Angle Forward Bend):

From Downward Facing Dog, lightly jump or step through to seated. Gently open the legs out to each respective side and flex the feet. Place one hand behind the hips, and the other in front of the pelvis and scoot the pelvis forward a bit, keeping the heels pressing into the floor, deepen the straddle an inch or two.
Keeping the toes pointing straight up, place the hands between the legs and begin to gently fold forward. Maybe you can get the forearms on the floor; in time, the entire torso will rest on the floor. Keep the sitz bones rooted into the floor by activating mula bandha and scooping the tailbone. Hold for one to three minutes.
To release, come up reverently and slowly. Once you are upright, scoop the hands under the backs of the knees from behind your legs, rock back onto your sitz bones. Inhale to draw the legs together (think Boat Pose). Vinyasa.

9. Setu Bhandasana (Supported Bridge Pose):

After the deep hip openers, it is nice to equalize the sacrum with a gentle back bend. From Downward Facing Dog jump or step through and lay on your back. Bend the knees and place the feet on the floor hip distance apart, about eight inches from your hips. Bend the elbows so the fingers point towards the ceiling and press the upper arms into the floor, drawing the shoulder blades into the back body.
On inhale, leading from the tailbone, roll the hips vertebrae by vertebrae off the floor. Be mindful and feel the unfolding of your spine. Notice if anywhere feels blocked. If possible, take a hold of the ankles from the outside and draw the chest towards the chin by lifting through the heart. Keep the knees directly over the heels, not forward of them.
If you struggle holding your ankles, wrap a strap around the front of your ankles and hold an end of the strap in each hand. Press the back of the head into the floor. Eventually you will be able to maintain your cervical curve in the pose, by pressing the shoulder blades and back of the head down, the base on the neck curves away from the floor. No strain please!
Hold for ten breaths. Repeat again or turn this into a restorative posture by placing a block under the sacrum and relaxing fully for one to five minutes. Release and hug the knees into the chest, rocking side to side to unwind the lower back.

10. Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall):

Set up your mat perpendicular to the wall, bring a bolster and two blankets with you. Place the bolster about six inches from the wall, so that the long end of the bolster is parallel to the wall. Roll the blanket up and place it where your neck will be once you are in the full position.
Sit on the bolster near the wall, and scoot one of your hips to the wall, so that you are sitting sideways to the wall.
Engage your core a bit as you lay down, and swing your legs up the wall, rolling onto your back so that the hips are near the wall, hanging off the edge of the bolster, the bolster is under the lower back. Adjust the blanket under your neck so you are supported as you lay on the floor.
I personally like to place the soles of my feet together, allowing the knees to fall open to each side, like Baddha Konasana. Use whatever leg variation feels most relaxing to you. Hold for five minutes. Roll off onto your side and sprawl into Savasana when you are ready.

Πως να λαμβάνετε απάντηση στα ερωτήματα που απευθυνέτε στο σύμπαν

 

Κάθε φορά που εσύ ζητάς κάτι από το σύμπαν, αυτό ανταποκρίνεται άμεσα και σου απαντάει σε κάθε σου ερώτηση.

Το μεγάλο ερώτημα λοιπόν δεν είναι εάν σου απαντάει το σύμπαν ή όχι, διότι αυτό τουλάχιστον για εμένα είναι δεδομένο. Το μεγάλο ερώτημα είναι το πως απαντάει το σύμπαν και για την ακρίβεια πως μπορείς εσύ να αντιληφθείς την απάντησή του.

Αυτή είναι μια ερώτηση πολύ παλιά η οποία μόλις πρόσφατα έχει αρχίσει να απαντιέται διάσπαρτα.

Η απάντηση είναι αρκετά απλή και ίσως για αυτό είναι δύσκολο να γίνει κατανοητή. Μπορείς εσύ ο ίδιος να πεις στο σύμπαν τον τρόπο με τον οποίο θα ήθελες να σου απαντάει στα ερωτήματά σου.

Ο τρόπος είναι απλός. Σκέψου κάτι αίσιο το οποίο κάθε φορά που το φέρνεις στο νου σου δημιουργείται ένα θετικό συναίσθημα. Αυτό θα μπορούσε να είναι οτιδήποτε με το οποίο νιώθεις οτι έχεις ιδιαίτερη σχέση. Για παράδειγμα μια φίλη μου, έλεγε τις προάλλες οτι κάθε φορά που βλέπει ένα πούπουλο, κάτι καλό συμβαίνει στη ζωή της. Είναι πεπεισμένη οτι το πούπουλο είναι ένα σημάδι παρουσίας κάποιου αγγέλου που την βοηθάει και επιλέγει να κάνει την παρουσία του αισθητή με αυτόν τον τρόπο.

Το σημάδι αυτό λοιπόν θα μπορούσε να είναι ένα ουράνιο τόξο, ένα χρώμα, ένας ήχος, ένας άγιος, μια μυρωδιά ή ακόμα και ένας αριθμός. Σε μένα για παράδειγμα, αυτόν τον ρόλο τον έχει ο αριθμός 22. Το γιατί δεν έχει σημασία. Αυτό που έχει σημασία είναι οτι εγώ νιώθω πολύ συνδεδεμένος με αυτόν τον αριθμό και κάθε φορά που τον βλέπω κάτι πολύ καλό παρουσιάζεται στη ζωή μου. Πέρα από αυτό, πολλές φορές η παρουσία του αριθμού αυτού με βοηθάει να επιλέγω όταν βρίσκομαι σε κάποιο δίλημμα. Ξαφνικά εμφανίζεται με έναν άμεσο ή έμμεσο τρόπο υποδεικνύοντας μου τον δρόμο.

Αφού λοιπόν διαλέξεις ένα σύμβολο με το οποίο νιώθεις οτι είσαι ιδιαίτερα συνδεδεμένος, ζήτα ξεκάθαρα από το σύμπαν οτι θέλεις να σου δίνει αυτό το σημάδι όταν σου απαντάει ή όταν θέλει να σου υποδείξει το δρόμο σου.

Το σύμπαν άμεσα θα λάβει το αίτημα σου και θα ανταποκριθεί. Κανόνισε όμως να έχεις τις κεραίες σου ανοιχτές ώστε όταν σου απαντάει με τον τρόπο που του έχεις ζητήσει, να το αντιλαμβάνεσαι και να το ευχαριστήσεις. Εάν δεν το κάνεις αυτό τουλάχιστον στην αρχή μέχρι να παγιοποιηθεί μέσα σου, τότε το σύμπαν θα το εγκαταλείψει επίσης όπως το εγκατέλειψες κι εσύ.

Οι περισσότεροι από εμάς έχουμε ήδη αντιληφθεί, έστω κι αχνά, κάποιο σημάδι το οποίο επαναλαμβάνεται στη ζωή μας πριν μας συμβεί κάτι καλό. Εάν είσαι ένας από αυτούς που το έχουν ήδη αντιληφθεί, τότε μπορείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις αυτό το σημάδι και να αιτηθείς ξεκάθαρα στο σύμπαν οτι πλέον είσαι συνειδητός και επιθυμείς να συνεχίσει να επικοινωνεί μαζί σου με αυτόν τον τρόπο. Έτσι τα σημάδια ή οι οιωνοί θα ενταθούν περισσότερο.

Αυτή η γνώση υπήρχε από την αρχαιότητα, έστω κι αν ήταν ασυνείδητη. Οι μάντεις είχαν οιωνούς με τους οποίους προέβλεπαν το μέλλον. Αυτοί οι οιωνοί, ήταν ο δικός τους τρόπους να ερμηνεύσουν τις απαντήσεις του σύμπαντος.

Φυσικά, όπως και οτιδήποτε άλλο σε αυτόν τον δυαδικό κόσμο, το ίδιο κόλπο λειτουργεί και αντίστροφα. Δηλαδή ένα αρνητικό σημάδι μπορεί να επαναλαμβάνεται διαρκώς πριν συμβεί κάτι κακό. Μια γνωστή μου λέει ότι κάθε φορά που βλέπει μια παλιά συμμαθήτριά της στο δρόμο, κάτι κακό της συμβαίνει. Και φυσικά, αποδίδει την αρνητική κατάσταση που προκύπτει μετέπειτα στην επιρροή αυτής της γυναίκας, ενώ στην πραγματικότητα αυτή η γυναίκα απλά εξυπηρετεί τον τρόπο που το σύμπαν την προειδοποιεί για κάτι μελλοντικό.

Κάποιοι άλλοι βλέπουν νεκρούς συγγενείς, ενώ υπάρχουν πολλοί που βλέπουν εφιάλτες πριν συμβεί κάτι κακό.

Όλα αυτά συμβαίνουν όμως γιατί απλά εσύ έχεις ειδοποιήσει το σύμπαν υποσυνείδητα ότι επιθυμείς τον έναν ή τον άλλον τρόπο να επικοινωνεί μαζί σου.

Τώρα λοιπόν μπορείς να αναλάβεις εσύ τα ηνία και να πάψεις να είσαι έρμαιο απλά των οιωνών και να αρχίσεις μια ωραία συνειδητή κουβέντα με το αγαπητό σύμπαν.

Καταλήγοντας θα ήθελα να πω ότι τα παραπάνω είναι απλά ένας έξυπνος τρόπος να βρούμε μία δίοδο επικοινωνίας με αυτή τη Νοημοσύνη. Αυτό συμβαίνει διότι δεν είμαστε σε θέση να είμαστε πλήρως συντονισμένοι με την μία και μοναδική Συνείδηση, όπου φυσικά δεν θα χρειαζόμασταν ούτε οιωνούς ούτε σημάδια για να λαμβάνουμε απαντήσεις. Απλά, αμέσως μόλις θα γεννιόταν η ερώτηση, ταυτόχρονα θα αναδυόταν και η απάντηση.

Μέχρι να φτάσουμε εκεί ωστόσο ας προσπαθήσουμε με κάποιους τρόπους να διευκολύνουμε την επικοινωνία μας με το σύμπαν.
