the wind at my back

Yogis,

Three weeks of fire practice for many of you!  Building both inner and outer strength, and a sense of “I CAN do anything”.

    ……..yeah I saw a lot more feet come off the ground in crow pose this week than ever before…..

Have you been setting your intention?  Seeing it clearly and stating it with conviction every day? 

                My blood pressure is going down.

                                I am writing a book.

                                                Money flows in and out of my life in abundance.

                                                                I sleep soundly at night.

                                                                                I am relaxed and peaceful.

Whatever it is that you want!  State it so many times that it begins to vibrate within you.  Because what you send out is what you will draw back – so make sure it is what you want..

Earth….we prepared the soil.   Water…..we gave it moisture and aliveness.   Fire……we planted the seed and gave it light.    We then simply tend to it daily -  taking those baby steps toward our intention, moving forward and taking action with confidence. 

And then let go of the reins with complete and unquestioning faith that it will grow.

The Heart. 

It is here that we move from me to we.  From an inward focus on what I can do, to an outward sensing of the incredible benevolent force of the Universe.  There to support us in whatever we choose to do. 

Our job is the choosing.  The knowing what I want, stating it and beginning the movement toward it.  Our job is the “what” and the focus.  The Universe’s job, however, is the how. 

But you have to be able to let go and trust.  Completely.  With every cell in your being.  Knowing it will manifest. 

Somehow we seem to do this so simply in the garden.  We plant the seed, give it water, light and love, and then trust that from a seed the size of a speck, a large plant will grow and feed us.  No need to dig it up each day to see if anything is happening.  We just believe that this miracle will happen year after year after year. 

Not quite as easy in our own daily lives.   That is why we practiced fired for 3 weeks!  It takes courage.  It takes an open heart that is willing to feel it all.   

So allow yourself to be steered.  Feel the breeze at your back guiding you.  Be carried.  Accept unexpected turns in the path as gifts.  Know the destination but don’t demand a certain route – another route may have so much more beauty along the way.

Leave the details to the Universe. 

….and the next time you are out in the wind, face into it, close your eyes and open yourself up.  A hug from the Universe.

I love this journey,

SARAH
