......where you look is where you go

Yogis,

As we walk through life we are guided by our eyes. Always scanning ahead of us for walls we may bump into, obstacles that might trip us or holes that could turn our ankle. At the same time, we are seeing the unique architecture of the building ahead and the red berries on the holly tree. All occurring without any effort on our part. In fact, we may be so deep in our own inner chatter that although the eyes are seeing, we see nothing. 

When we get to a turning point in the road it is the eyes that first make the turn and we tag along. We look and everything else follows.  Because where we look is where we go……

This is a powerful principle that can be harnessed to guide your life in positive directions.

We have magnificent eyes that can see infinite shades of red, the jaw dropping awe of a cloudless sunset, the tiny toes on a newborn foot and the vastness of the dark sea. But we also have an inner vision that has the capacity to see even beyond what exists for our physical eyes to land on. Not limited by ‘what is’. Our ability to visualize opens new worlds. We can choose to see anything.

Where we look is where we go…….

We visualize all day even if we aren’t aware, so what we are visualizing is of great importance. Our mind often prefers to look at all the potential problems that may arise. As if somehow preparing for the worst will keep us from being surprised. This goes by the name of worry. But all that does is increase the possibilities for trouble. By seeing something over and over we give it attention and awareness which gives it energy.

Where we look is where we go……

If on the other hand we use the inner screen to visualize what we are wanting to manifest in our life, that is what becomes potent.  Seeing what we want already manifested, in full color, over and over and over will inevitably draw it toward you. Our inner gaze can create our outer view.

The practice begins by noticing what you visualize. Where do your inner eyes like to go? What stories do they love to watch?

Then when you notice a scene that doesn’t serve you and your purpose, turn off the projector and select a new movie. It takes wanting to, and then inner determination to change your script. And patience. But it can absolutely be done. Visualize it!

A knee injury……spend time each day visualizing it completely healed. Sit quietly and see yourself moving it with ease.  A project you are working on……..watch the scene where you are presenting the completed project on time to the accolades of your team. 

Instead of picturing the financial woes you feel are coming, turn your sights to a flow of abundance. See a sold sign on your house. Visualize the positive pregnancy test. Watch as your event fills.

Because where you look is where you go……..

I think tonight I will watch the one with me doing handstand,
