I love that when we do what we want to do, when those joyful exquisite thoughts drop into our head and we act upon them, how free and blissful we feel.

Hypothetically, people worry about everyone being selfishly oriented.

"If everyone did exactly what they want to do, what kind of world would this be?"

And we say, a really, really good one.

Because if everyone did what they wanted to do, everyone would feel free. And if you feel free, you feel empowered. And every negative emotion that exists—hear this—every negative emotion that exists is because there is some sense of loss of freedom somewhere in there.

Nothing Is More Important Than "I Feel Good"

Your Inner Being is guiding you toward well-being .

ALWAYS!!

Whether you are listening or not.

And so the question is. Are you listening? And how do you know when you are?

And we say to you .

You cannot hear the guidance when you are angry.

You cannot hear the guidance when you are mad.

You cannot hear the guidance when you are fearful.

You cannot hear the guidance when you are fitful.

You cannot hear the guidance when you are guilty.

You cannot hear the guidance when you are lonely.

You cannot hear the guidance when your valve is closed You see.

So.!! Just get happy in any way you can.

Do the things that please you most.

Spend time with the people that thrill you most.

Go to the places where you bask easily .

And most of all make a decision that

“Nothing is more important than that I feel good”

And under those conditions you will be guided with a precision that will knock your socks off.

Not just to an area that will receive little disruption, but to an area where you can thrive. To an area where you can find joy. To an area where you will rendezvous with the others you’ve intended

Living in the NOW

Make up your mind that nothing is more important than how I feel now, because now is everything. Now is the whole enchilada. Now is the power of me. Now, now, now, now, now... You might as well start somewhere, and it might as well be now. Why not start improving your life now, now, now?

Today's 'Yogi Tea' Inspiration

I have a daily ritual that I really really love and that is my cup (or 2) of 'Yogi Tea'. I particularly love the Classic India Spice. My husband thinks hot and spicy tea is just not normal but I really enjoy the fiery sensation followed by smooth spice afterward. Unfortunately I haven't yet been able to purchase the USA version here in Sydney and the European is not the same. I used to purchase it when I lived in NZ and now I've found a shop in NZ that will post it to me.

Anyway, on every tea bag there is an inspirational tag and today's is:

"Inspiring others towards happiness brings you happiness"
- Quoted from my 'Yogi Tea' tea bag, currently enjoying the flavor of Choco Aztec Spice - y-um!!!

Stay tuned for more daily Yogi inspiration :)

The Secret behind The Secret - Esther and Jerry Hicks

This DVD was very enlightening and a fantastic interview with Esther and Jerry Hicks and of course Abraham. I had heard of Esther Hicks when 'The Secret' was released. I came across a video of Abraham-Hicks on You Tube and remember thinking WOW what is this? a little taken back at first I continued to watch and found myself seeking more and more about who this Abraham-Hicks was - a person, energy or being?....anyhow after watching a few more videos I became hooked and for the first time spiritually everything started making sense for me, where I failed to resonate with teachings of religion, The Teachings of Abraham opened me to the term 'Source energy' and 'Vibration'.

With this new found curiosity I purchased the dvd 'The Secret behind The Secret' featuring Esther and Jerry Hicks. My husband even sat down and watched it with me and we found ourselves watching it again the following evening.

Esther really is a peaceful and loving person it's hard to believe what wonders and wisdom comes from her when channeling Abraham. When you get past what is potentially 'weird' to many, the teachings are amazing and powerful and somehow make sense to everything experienced here on earth.

In this interview many questions are answered of Abraham that can really shine some light on the Universal Laws and a new refreshing perspective on living here in this physical world. If you are interested in Abraham Hicks or even a follower of the teachings already this DVD is worth having in your library.

Youthful Inspiration

As mentioned in my previous post I registered for the 30 Day Yoga Challenge with Dashama at Perfect10Lifestyle and two days ago I received my dvd and book. I also purchased Dashama's 'Yoga for Kid's dvd' and 2 really beautiful crystal pendants from India. I was so pleased to receive my package but surprisingly not as excited as my 4 year old daughter 'Rosa'. The moment she saw the kid's yoga dvd she couldn't wait to put it on. It has only been 2 days and the moment I walk in the door from work it is the first thing she wants to do.

On the first evening we did the yoga together, and it was so much fun, it was wonderful watching her tune into Dashama and her instruction, and then this evening my husband and I sat back and watched her. We were really inspired and filled with joy to watch our little 4 year old so engrossed in this wonderful and peaceful practice.

Namaste

It's Time for Transformation

I haven't posted for a little while now, no particular reason really. I have been spending quite alot of my energy settling into our new home, spending alot of quality time with my daughter and I'm seeing that relationship blossom beautifully now.

I have been following along with my Abraham Hicks literature and recently listening to the audio version of Ask and it is Given Volume 1. This is a fantastic starter on the Teachings of Abraham and what I am loving the most is as Abraham would put it 'we really must make easy work of it all'. This is so far from my initial belief system of achieving and goal setting etc that I am really loving the contrast. I have been living determined, focused, anxious, desperate, hard set and goal driven, with a must work mentality and what I am now learning really throws a whole new direction for me with my outlook on the Universal Laws and being a deliberate creator of my own reality.

It really is a beautiful thing, in the smallest of ways I have noticed changes in my life and in me, my outlook on my health is slowly starting to change, and I am starting to feel naturally drawn towards looking after myself and eating well. I am becoming drawn back to my passions of the not so 'new age' anymore, but my love's of quiet time (meditation), being still, quietening the mind, crystals, healing and all things that bring me joy. I am seeing now that being 'selfish' in following MY desires and the core of who Carmen is and seeking fulfillment is not at all selfish, for it brings me so much happiness that as mentioned earlier, my relationship with my daughter is starting to blossom, her connection to me is really quite touching and this is ALL because she has a happy Mum. I also feel that when your living from the place of who you really are how can you go wrong.

Which brings me to my next exciting point, and that is the journey I am about to begin into Yoga. Yoga is a technique that I've always wanted to try but never really got there. Without saying I'm going to become a yoga for life convert with all the flashy outfits and mats and gadgets, I have become attracted to what seems to be a very spiritual side to yoga, a mind body and spirit transformation which ultimately I am seeking. So, I have stumbled across the lovely Dashama. I first saw Dashama by default on You Tube when I was looking at Yoga and she just caught my eye, not just her beauty but her presence, her vitality for life and here is a beautiful young woman living life how she desires it to be. Truly inspirational.

I am really really looking forward to starting the 30 Day Yoga Challenge with Dashama. Here is a video explaining the challenge, it really is not a challenge between individuals, but yourself and I am completely ready, open and willing to begin.

Come along, join in and have fun with me.

Bliss and Blessings
Carmen

John Mayer - Daughters (Acoustic)

I LOVE this song, John Mayer is amazingly talented. This song is touching and more because as a woman it's a reminder for me that I was once a young girl influenced in love by those closest to me, my Mum and Dad. The way they loved each other, and the way they loved me instilled that value in me. It's a reminder of the powerful influence I have on my young daughter, how I perceive love, and display this affection will initially be how she loves and trusts when she gets older.
