Most people feel like they need to be beat up by there workout to get results.

What is really happening when you are stressed!

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

In the last post we spoke of where are perceived stresses are really coming from.  Now we are talking about some of the effect of being in stress for long periods of time.  Specifically about our fight or flight response.  An evolutionary process that was designed for quick stresses like running away form a saber tooth tiger, but that is being used for much longer periods of time.  Check out this video from one of my live stress management seminars.

Where do our stresses really come from?

Monday, September 19th, 2011

We often blame our stresses in life on all sorts of external stuff.  We blame work, kids, money, health a lot of others things outside of us on how we feel inside of us.

Check out this video from one of my live stress management seminars and it may give you a new way to see it all.

Open Hips are Happy Hips

We tend to store a lot of tension in our mid section.  Since it is the link between the upper and lower half of the body.  It can greatly affect every thing else.  Here is a quick 25 min hip opener to help you out.

Make sure to keep the knees safe and respect your body and remember the less you resist… the more you let go.   SO RELAX INTO THE STRETCH!

The Astonishing Power of Emotions

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Are you resisting your experiences as you paddle up stream against the current…. Or have you dropped the oars of resistance and flowing effortlessly down stream…

I came across this great book called “The Astonishing Power of Emotions” by Ester and Jerry Hicks. The analogy they provide about traveling up stream or down stream is an amazing tool that can help guide you through every and any experience you have. So often we resist the experiences that we are having due to a lot of our subconscious programming, and beliefs. Because of mere points of view, we get all sorts of disturbances inside both subtle and intense. What they say in the book, and what many have said before is that our emotions are there to guide us along. To let us know when we are not aligned with our higher conscious. When these emotions come up… they are letting us know that we are headed up stream and resisting the current, rather then changing our point of view to change how we feel inside. Ultimately they are saying that regardless of circumstance, we decide how we feel inside.

Now I know that some may feel uncomfortable knowing that we are responsible for how we feel. Which means we can not blame anyone but ourselves… The exciting thing about this is that we have control over how we feel and now one else. So we can always change how we feel when we want to.

The trick is recognizing when you are caught up in subconscious reaction, and heading up stream against the current… and take a few deep breaths to bring ourself back to the present moment, which they refer to as re-aligning with your inner being. Then make a perceptional shift and change your point of view and ask yourself how you can look at the experience heading downstream without resistance.

They give 30 concrete examples that you see in everyday life, about money, relationships, kids… and they show you the difference between up stream and down stream in every one.

I highly recommend this book for those of you out there who are tired of being controlled by your emotions. This is the key to realizing all of your desires in all aspects of your life.
