Learn to direct your mind!

Learn to direct your Mind!

When it comes to making the right decisions, our habits may get into the way. Our education, training, conditioning, and experiences, all influence our thought patterns and habits. Changing habits would be easy if the mind cooperated every time you asked it to, and right away!

Private Walking sessions are healthy, convenient, one-on-one opportunities to introduce new ideas, allowing you to free yourself from old habits, and learn new ones. Being outdoors and allowing your body to move smoothly has been scientifically proven to provide positive effects to cognitive skills. Ideally, during this time you will learn how to break prior patterns that no longer work for you, and install new, more positive ones. New ideas, connected with a positive experience, are easy to remember, and help break prior patterns.

I understand that not everybody can afford a private Life Coach who offers these techniques. And I want all of you to have the opportunity to change your life! So, I available to everyone several of my playful, quick, and easy tools to download on your mp3 player or iPhone. Each session is short, simple, and fun, and gives you tools to use each and every day. These sessions are only available by mail. IF you are really interested learning in becoming the director of your mind and are committed to experiment 7 tiny sessions of 2-3 minutes while Walking outside I will get them to you TODAY!

Change – The Law of Attraction

 

Why is change so difficult?

Our thinking patterns are effected by genetics, education, conditioning….
We may experience “automized” thinking and feeling reactions that seem out of our control.
We attract what we are used to. We expect situations, things, emotions to happen the way we have experienced before.

To “change your mind” means to continuously be aware of what and how you think and willingly jettison thinking patterns that no longer serve you. Especially the way you think and feel about yourself.

Train yourself to consciously decide to think what fits for you today!

 

 

Is Yoga for you?

Is Yoga right for you?

The only way to find out if Yoga is right for  you is DO IT!

To be honest, it took me some time before I finally realized the benefit I got from Yoga. I was trying hard to concentrate and would just not be able to do so. My mind would be somewhere else, while I was doing Yoga Asanas. I just kept on going. I started with a little daily routine of the Sun Salutation in the morning. The days when I had very little time, I would just do a few sets. Other days, I would take advantage and do more and afterwards sit down to listen to the silence, observing my busy mind’s thoughts coming and going. I guess, when I stopped criticizing myself for not being able to concentrate the way I thought I should is when I started really benefiting from Yoga. Now, I do my little routine and automatically focus on something different every day – just what I need, without planning or thinking about it.

To start Yoga you definitely want to go to Yoga classes. Choose a class where you feel comfortable with the location, the instructor and the people. There are lots of them. Have the instructor correct you and practice by yourself to get into it!

Yoga helps me to stay physically, mentally and spiritually fit, flexible and tuned in. It gives me strength in every sense.

Love what you do!

Check it out: when you love what you do you, you are more successful since you enjoy the activity and have a very good chance to experience flow.

What if I hate washing the dishes? (This was me). I hated washing the dishes. As a child it was my ob to dry the dishes day by day. My mind told me: those dishes will have to be washed over and over again. Stupid activity, no reimbursement for washing the dishes except, clean dishes until the next meal.

Then I visited India for the second time in 2007. I was going to visit a Children’s foster home ( www.njbb.org) for a few days and decided spontaneously to stay 5 weeks with former street children. There, in Vijavawada, 350 miles east of Hyderabad I met my Guru Swami Bhakti Chaitanya. He taught me about the Yogic way of life, philosophy, food, exercise during my stay. Ever since he became my online-coach via email. He is always there when I need him – a very special gift.

In the Ashram I was the only white person. I stayed with the street kids and left for the Ashram 5AM for meditation, yoga exersice,”satvic” breakfast and then: “Karma Yoga”. Everybody chose some activity without receiving any personal benefit – some would go in the fields, some in the kitchen, since I couldn’t sit so long on the hard floor, I chose to sweep the Yoga Room every day with a short besom. Wind was blowing through the huge room, no windows, only grates to keep the monkeys out. Frustration coming up, since it seemed to be pointless. Then, a Hindu woman came to show me how to proceed:

“Go slowly, very slowly. Concentrate on each movement, stroke by stroke, line by line, no matter what, wind or no wind. Think and say to yourself: I clean my heart and I clean my mind.”

Believe it or not, I did change my attitude in many things after this experience. I learned not to brood over things, I just do it. This for me is the key to actually enjoy what I do, I experience Flow, positive energy and things just happen fluently without working hard, just surrendering.
