SPREADING GOOD WORD…

SPREADING GOOD WORD… when I , myself REALLY stopped fighting and defending why I could not practice yoga that wholeheartedly, that commitedly, (ie: daily) my mindset switched, and I finally REALLY REALLY got into yoga, it changed me..it changed the destiny OF MY DAY!! And over time, MY LIFE….

I spent the first part of my life, most every day, usually, within a short time after awakening, with a tightness in my chest, a knot in my stomach. I was always in my head , UNABLE to be in the present.. feeling low about the past, or feeling fearful of the future, Yoga helped me to face that part of myself, and to really FEEL what was happening subconsciously on the daily, Mind full of that as a script, naturally my focus solely on what was SCARY, HURTFUL, CRITICAL, etc.. and it took me a lifetime to learn, that “what I focused on I CREATED, I dREW it to me .. our thoughts are THAT POWERFUL!!! I was putting massive EFFORTS and ENERGY into worrying about SOMETHING, feeling upset and hurt RUMINATING, by something negative said about me, something negative I read, listened to from another about another, or from the media..

However, As I began to practice COMMITTEDLY, starting my day FIRST with just me and my mat, in silence, I felt BETTER, I FELT at the start of the day A HOPEFULNESS about myself, my life.. I FELT OPTIMISTIC, and at PEACE with myself within, and the planet around me.. I WAS A BETTER, OPENHEARTED, OPEN MINDED, KINDER GENTLER ME!!! I Felt like I did as a kid, always striving to SEE THE BEAUTY or KINDNESS at a deeper surface IN ANOTHER, SEE THE GOOD in PEOPLE, PLACES, heck, a blade of grass, a flower.. SEE THE GOOD.. FOCUS ON THAT.. Early mornings in my adult life, were fed with my yoga practice and meditation. It became my spiritual armor..yet, I didn't have in me a need to STAY so closed up or hardened... When the world was focused on the latest crime or conviction of another, I was focusing on looking for a SHRED of LIGHT, a shred of the GOOD,I lost the need for many friends who focused on DRAMA, GOSSIP.. etc.. I RELEASED that need for my old Self, my old life.. I found I felt better with finding a GOD LIKE sense of strength and serenity inside me, instead of taking on the day, LISTENING to one’s putdowns, to the news, to a newspaper full of sex and more violence.. NOT AN EASY TASK when we are constantly SLAMMED with just that!!

TRUTH? We can all get so caught up in what is wrong, broken, bad, terminal, fearful, doubtful, judging this or that, remaining angry, being scared for OUR LIVES, especially in this day and age. That kind of stress and scarcity and distress , and busyness IS NOT LIVING.. NOT LIVING.. WE Have been consumed and all fed a steady diet of what is WRONG, what is FRIGHTENING, what is BAD, what is AWFUL, WHO is bad, wrong, etc.. you get my jist..

Bottom line that stuff we hear, grew up hearing?? STAYS with us, STAYS EMBEDDED in the subconscious and anxiety , fear, anger, stay repressed in the cell body, muscle tissue, etc.. long after the news ends, the paper is finished, the comment is said, the hurtful experience is over and done, the judgement is put upon us.. THERE CAN ALWAYS BE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE TO LOOK DOWN UPON.. and, over time, we wonder so often why we are tired, anxious, drained.. feel hopeless..

It is a DRAIN on our own personal energy to listen to stuff that creates fear, anger, judgment, guilt, shame, anxiety.. we have these thoughts and then, it creates that FEEL in the BODY.. goes so much deeper, it puts our nervous system and vital organs in a constant state of dread, and distress..IN CRISIS mode, when often, there is NOT One..Okay, so Now that I KNOW this beyond intellectual knowing, I felt compelled to do something to RAISE YOUR ENERGY VIBRATION! SOOOOOOOO, I decided to challenge that mindset, that lifestyle.. and create something called SPREADING GOOD WORD..

Here is where you will get to have a taste of who or what is UPLIFTING, INSPIRING, and will just plain ol make you feel good!!! And here is the thing, most of us are so humble..we will go to the limits TO HIDE OUR GREATNESS.. TRUST ME, I KNOW!!! in fear of phrases like WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? Well, hey, if I think the world of YOU, then the world will know it!!!! Like the song says, TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD.. I will do my best.. I hope it inspires you to write about something or someone YOU know who ROCKS YOUR WORLD in such an earthshattering fantastic way..

Love, me
