Dream Yoga

Dream Yoga is a form of lucid dreaming. What is lucid dreaming you ask? Well, simply put lucid dreaming is when you are aware you are dreaming. Some people have learned how to gain some control within their lucid dreams – some request to fly or speak with a particular person or change the dream in some way. Most people recognize there are dreaming when something odd occurs. One of my lucid dreams involved having to climb over a fence, but above the fence was a giant - though beautiful - spider web. There were actually three or four of these in a row. After I climbed over the first one I looked back and realized the spider web was still intact. I knew that could not be possible. Suddenly I realized I was dreaming. I tried to take control of the dream or guide its direction. I do not claim to be very good at that. I more often just try to make note that I realize I am dreaming, accept it, and pay attention.


It is said that Tibetan Buddhists developed dream yoga around 1000 years ago. The intent was to not only become aware during one’s dreams, but to accomplish specific tasks. Dream yoga is supposed to be another method to find answers, connect with the Divine, travel to different places, and more.

Let You Love Flow

Holding Hands is a outward sign of love.
One thing I feel very strongly about is being open with your love.  I think there is a huge benefit to not only our children to see love but our society on a whole.  Now I am not talking about having a total make out session in public.  However casual kisses should be in the public eye as well as hugs and hand holding.  The people of this planet need to stop hiding love and start showing it more.  Next time you are out someplace watch and see how many couples are holding hands or are touching each other.  The joke is that you can tell the married people because that usually don't touch each other.  This is sad, love should bring you closer and closer as you grow with it.  It should make it easier for us to touch and feel each other the longer we are together.  Imagine a wonderful place where love was every where you looked wouldn't that be a wonderful thing for our children to see?  Why not start by doing your part today.

Breathe

The stress of project deadlines at work, bills arriving in your inbox, dirty laundry waiting to be washed, the dog begging to go out, the oil needing to be changed in the car, and the neighbor practicing his drums at odd hours can cause the flow of energy in your body to encounter blockages. Shoulder muscles may tense up and you forget to breathe – no, I mean really and truly breathe.




When this happens a lot more than just a stiff neck or aching shoulders occurs. Without a good flow of energy through your entire body suffers as well as your spirit. One easy and wonderful way to relax and open yourself back up to the flow of energy is to take five minutes (quiet minutes), lay flat on the floor on your back, lay your arms out to your sides with palms up, and take slow deep breaths. Do this regularly and you are likely to discover a wonderful transformation within yourself.

The Five Love Languages - Gary Chapman


The Five Love Languages is a great book for couples to read.  It helps you understand the thinking of your partner, once you learn which of the five love languages is theirs.  I found this very interesting and it gives you a good insight into how your partner might be thinking.  Even if you can't get your partner to read this book it can help you improve your relationship.  Gary Chapman takes a very simple approach that anyone can follow to learn your love language.  This book won't solve all your problems but it will get you looking at things differently and from your partners point of view.  This can be a very important part of transforming your relationship, if you need that.

Spiritual Laughter




Laughter Yoga is becoming increasingly popular. It is fun and makes you feel wonderful. Think about a time when you laughed so hard your stomach hurt or a time you just couldn't stop laughing. Maybe you have just been sitting somewhere and all of a sudden you start to smile as you remember something funny and then burst out laughing.


Has anything ever happened where you can't help but laugh? Where does that come from? Is it your spirit reaching out to you to tell you to lighten up? Is it God or the Divine wrapping warmth and love around you?

There have been studies done that show laughter is valuable to our health and mental status. Laughing to me, however, is much more than a yoga exercise, health benefit or something we just do occasionally. Laughter is a special place where pure light shines through. It is where joy overtakes all that is dark and where laughter flows out of you like an erupting volcano. Laughter is music to the ears and demands attention from those that hear it. Laughter can be a tipping point where it makes someone else laugh just because he/she heard you laugh. In fact, when practicing Laughter Yoga participants may start out having to create laughter, but soon they experience true heartfelt, soul-deep laughter. Laughter is contagious and spontaneous. Though we cannot touch laughter it can touch us deeply. Don't hold back your laughter – share it with the world.

Negativity Builds Up - Release It

It is important that you don’t let your stresses and difficulties build up in your body. Shoving your feelings down – repressing them – only adds more stress to your body. Worrying and fretting over things brings negative energy into your body. Your cells absorb all of this negativity and the next thing you know you will be ill. Blockages are created and energy can no longer flow smoothly through your body. One common area in the body where you may notice this is your shoulders. Are they tense? Do you feel tension in them? Another common occurrence is that you get a cold.





When you feel stress or tension close your eyes, breathe deeply and focus on warmth around your heart. Focus on a beautiful white light shining inside of you. It may work better for you to focus that light and positive healing energy on the particular area that you feel stress such as your shoulders. Try this different ways and see what works best for you. If you have never done this before, it may take you a few attempts to feel as though you are accomplishing it. Remember there is not right or wrong way – just whatever helps you release some of your tension and at least sense your inner peace.
