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
