I agree with this!

When I changed my way of thinking, my life changed!
Whether it’s money, self image, communication skills, it’s all possible!

There’ll always be someone better off than you!
But, there’s also someone worse off than you!

If someone has what you want, find out how they got it, then do that!

Yes I’m simplifying it, but if you smoke ci******es for example, and complain about not having much money, then you need to look at how much of a role your day to day choices build your life!

Are you taking action to move towards your dreams, or are you holding yourself back?

Are you a victim of your own choices? ❤️🙏

I met these young men on the train in India!

They were on there way to a Karate tournament.

I was on my way to a yoga retreat.

Having studied both disciplines, I see similarities now!

Karate is a peaceful discipline used to strengthen the body and mind!

Yoga is a peaceful discipline used to strengthen the mind and body!

In Karate, we used exercise and breathing techniques. In yoga we use the same.

I feel that Yoga may go deeper than Karate, as a peaceful way of life.

In Karate, we learned how to be strong and prepared, in case of attack!

In yoga we learn how to be peaceful and free of the “attack” mentality.

I’ve learned that I attract things into my life. This is how I learned to program my mind, to think more positively, therefore reducing the amount of anger and violence in my life!

“You’ll find what you seek! Of that you’re assured! Look for bad, and it’s at the door!

But then close your eyes and look again, and if you like, you’ll see good my friend!

There’s just one thing, of that I’m sure!

You’ll always find what you’re looking for!”

I wrote this poem after coming out of a 5 year relationship!

I coupled my break-up with therapy, meditation, yoga, etc.

I took responsibility for “Me”, I saw the benefits from the relationship!

I even had gratitude for my ex!

We were together to learn and grow! Ironically I grew the most after she dumped me!

Not long after the break-up, I wrote this poem. It was inspired by what I thought was a dead tree at my window, but as I gazed at the tree, I noticed one new leaf that had sprung from the top branch!

Now’s the time!

Like a tree that’s endured a long cold winter, all its life, deep down within. Bare and naked, nothing to hide! Starting to blossom, it’s springtime!

What once looked dead and perished, void of life, explodes into colour, now’s the time!

“People are disturbed not by things that happen, but by their opinion of things that happen!” Epictetus

I definitely notice that the more calm I became over the years, the less “Disturbed” I was by “Things that happen”

Otherwise were Victims!

Opinions?

When I was 12 years old me and my buddy stole some Xmas cards from mailboxes!

One of the cards had 2 x $2 notes, this is 1977.

My mate got $2 and I got $2!

I went and bought some plastic soldiers from the shop.

Mum thought I’d stolen money from her purse, I hadn’t! I hadn’t ever done that!

But I couldnt confess to my crime!

So I I was trapped!

So 50 years later, a few years ago, I finally confessed to my mother where I’d gotten the money!

She said. “You should stole it off me!”

My point is that according to “Karma”, that is a debt that I owe the Universe!

I didn’t get caught!
I didn’t get in trouble!
I got to keep my stolen goods!

BUT!

Karma is watching!

Late 1995, after a major breakup, I became more self aware!

I started to understand how (I believe) the universe works!

And! For that reason, I have karmic debts I owe to the universe!

No police record, but a “Universal” tally of my good deeds and my bad deeds!

At times I get frustrated, as I still encounter very challenging times, that “I feel”, I don’t deserve!

But!

According to “Karma”, you get ALL that you deserve!

I found this realisation quite liberating!

I do my best to do my best these days!

When I was younger, I thought that “If I don’t get caught, there’ll be no consequences”, but then i learned about Karma!

Once you stop blaming the world for your crimes, you’ll start to grow!

“If your thoughts are not in your control, who runs your world?
Who’ll save your soul?”

From my song, “Way of the world!”

Think about it?

If someone can make you angry, they’re controlling your emotions! That’s crazy!

I’ve been studying yoga for 30 years, teaching for 19 years!

When people say “Yoga”, most think of “Asana”, which is the physical facet of yoga.

“Yoga”, or “Yog”, as is it’s true name, (The west loves to add “a”s to eastern words!”, is a way of life, far more than exercise.

It’s goal is “Samadhi”. The settled mind.
Much the same as “Nirvana”, from Buddhism.

Getting to the “Settled mind” is a complex path! Not a complicated path, but an intricate one.

May I suggest a copy of The yoga sutras? A small instruction guide explaining the many facets of Yoga!

There’s a bit of a story at the start of the book. You can come back to that.

Flick through to Sutra 1.
“And now the teaching on yoga begins!”

A simple statement, preparing you for a complex ride toward peace!

The foundation of Yoga is Ahimsa. Everything is built on this!

Ahimsa means “Do not injure!

Think about that!

How often do you “Injure”?

Talk soon!
