Am I Doing This Right?

**This Workshop Has Hands-On Adjustments**

In this 60 minute workshop with Tiffany we will be exploring 5 primary vinyasa postures, and we’ll answer the question: Am I Doing This Right?

This will give us the structure ofpostures with similar joint actions, and open us up for the deeper philosophical aspects of the practice. Hands-on adjustments will be made in this workshop, and breathwork will be added.

There will be time for note taking, questions, and there will be a savasana to close. This will be an unheated workshop, however due to the nature of our practice, you will most-likely be sweaty, so wear appropriate clothing to accommodate.

Things to bring:
yoga mat
water
notebook
something to write with

NO REFUNDS, preregistration is preferred.

E.G.O. Worthiness to Unworthiness

Frequency creates form. And this creation fills our entire being - from our physical body, to our breath, to our emotions, to our thoughts, to our soul.

The gift of receiving life is always there, whether we have the insight to feel it or not. This is our worthiness. We get the joy of receiving life in ALL of its facets. That’s God’s gift to you.

Our worthiness is directly tied to our ability to receive. And receive ALL experiences as the gifts they are. Not just the ones we “like” - the ones that don’t feel so nice, too. (Notice the “and” language here)

The pit, the battle, the flood, the hunger, the slavery, the imprisonment, the labor, the wandering, the fish, the cross - these are all gifts, too. Worthiness is our ability to receive them ALL.

Our unworthiness is thinking we can exchange the gift for something we like better, or not even receiving it in the first place - or thinking we should have gotten someone else’s gift.

Sit still. Remember you are worthy of ALL of life’s gifts. Receive them. ALL of them. Edge God On-board.

I love you.

E.G.O. Fear to Faith

Both fear and faith are beliefs in something that cannot be seen, and feels incredibly real. Both are beliefs with wildly different frequencies.

When we’re Edging God Out both fear and faith hold an external feeling, and separateness. When we’re Edging God On-board, both hold an internal feeling, and connectedness.

When we’re Edging God Out, fear is real and highly likely, and faith is fake, and has zero probability of truth. This low frequency carries with it an attraction for more of the same, and then we’re in a constant state of fear that what we’ve made up in our mind will happen every time. That’s how powerful we are.

When we’re Edging God On-board, Divinity is real, and fear easily moves through us and doesn’t become our identity. This high frequency carries with it an inner-knowing, and an attraction for more of the same, we become fluid, and everything happening is an experience we get as a gift for our upward reaching. This is also how powerful we are.

When we tend to our internal spaces, the way we see our external spaces shift. We realize, our beliefs are ALL unseen, and the magic of our human experience is all on the inside.

E.G.O. Jealousy to Trust

Let’s define jealousy first, because without a concrete understanding of what jealousy is, trust will not make any sense. Also remember all of the Ego’s dysfunction stacks on top of addiction, and that’s what is creating an external environment to avoid the internal environment. The frequency creates form - by way of a pattern that keeps on repeating until we are aware that everything outside of you is influenced by what’s INSIDE of you.

Jealousy: showing (notice this is external) envy toward someone else’s advantages.
Envy: resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck.
Together they make: showing resentful longing of someone’s circumstances because of perceived lack

This is the frequency of scarcity which will just create more lack, which will create more scarcity, which will create more lack, ad nauseum.

Trust: firm belief (notice this is internal) in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of something or someone.
Who is the “someone” we’re talking about? YOU! Yes, YOU.

When Edging God Out, everything is win-lose. If someone is winning it means I’m losing, and visa versa. NOT TRUE. God and the universe don’t work like that - everyone can win - they use parables to show contrast - and there are an infinite number of winners.

When Edging God On-board, believing in yourself allows the frequency of courage to be present. And, that my friend, can flip any script. You have everything you need, right inside of you. All you have to do is be it.

E.G.O. Trauma to Healed

Ah, yes, “trauma” if ever there was a buzz word. Am I right?! And, what if we could wrap our head around what that word actually means - let’s start by defining what it is NOT. It is NOT a reenforcement of victimhood, it is NOT a justification for addiction, and it is NOT a reason to remain enslaved. Okay, cool, so if it’s none of those, what in the heck is it?

Trauma is a deeply disturbing experience that overwhelms the ability to cope. It is the incapacity to hold pain. So that means, not all experiences are traumatic. That means some are just friction designed to help you grow in your awareness and ability to hold discomfort. Notice the difference.

“Healed” then is the Ego’s forgiveness of itself for not catching the threat. Let that one sink in. And that doesn’t mean everything is hunky dorey, that just means the first part of the process of transitioning has begun.

The seat of the Ego is Ajna, third eye - the face of God. Where else would it be? It has to be a place where God is invited to reside, and it has to be a seat that can see upward and downward. It’s masculine - it’s in charge of external spaces. Oh. 👏 My. 👏 God. 👏 🎯🎯🎯🎤💥

In these terms, it’s the sneak attack from outside, and the forgiveness and tending from the inside.

E.G.O Greed to Contentment

The frequency of greed stems from the frequency of scarcity. Albeit, twisted, but scarcity nonetheless. The sense that there isn’t enough to go around, and I’ll get mine before someone else does, and if they get it first, I’ll just take it from them. Put’s children’s behavior in perspective doesn’t it?!

So what exactly do you not have enough of? Could it be that what’s getting swapped is external things for internal acceptance and love? Oof. That hits.

Let me let you in on something: THERE’S ALWAYS ENOUGH. And, it’s our being-ness that begets things. So BE self-accepting, BE self-loving, and DO from that state - that frequency will create form.

Edging God Out looks like grasping and manipulating. Edging God On-board looks like endless possibilities to create.

E.G.O. Victim to Victor

Frequency creates form. Period. The end. How many times have we (I say we, because I’m here, too) made up a story around a situation so that what happened, happened TO us? So many, right?! We manipulated the hurt, so that we receive the compassion, the sympathy, the favor on the outside. We portray ourselves as the victim.

When really, what we’re actually seeking is love, compassion, and sympathy from OURSELVES. 💥🎤

Edging God Out means that we’ll live in the frequency of victimhood so that we’ll get what we think we need from the outside, in order to avoid the hurt.

Edging God On-board looks like, loving yourself in the middle of the hurt. Showing yourself compassion as you walk into the hurt. Sympathizing with yourself as you look at your being-ness. The frequency here is completely different because it’s rooted in honesty.

Edging God Out is believing the story that things are happening TO you. While Edging God On-board is knowing that things are happening FOR you in order to help you get to your true being.

The victim blames everything outside of themselves. The victor changes the frequency of their being, and everything outside of themselves changes.

Reality happens from the inside out.

E.G.O. Entrapment to Emancipation

Frequency creates form. Being-ness creates doing, doing creates results. Two different ways of saying the same thing. What you create on the inside, will be your outside environment.

If you’re a slave to your wounds on the inside, you’re a slave to your environment on the outside. Dr. Mate call this a hungry ghost. And it’s from here, this layer of Ego that we can see if we look back, every subsequent layer of Ego is a result of addiction, the first layer of Ego.

When we are in the state of Edging God Out, we are a slave; we use a temporary coping mechanism as a long-term solution. Frequency creates form - entrapment.

When we are in the state of Edging God On-board we are free; we using healing and processing as an expression of love of Self and that becomes the long-term solution.

In your practice, are you a slave to the heat, the pace and the difficulty level? (And don’t forget a second think that I’ve excluded myself from this mix - I’m right here with you) If so, your Ego is running the show, and your Soul has yet to become the master.

Conversely, in your practice, are you a slave to comfort, ease, and your preferences? (And don’t think I’m excluded from this on either) If so, you TOO, are entrapped by your Ego and its need for control and certainty, and your Soul has yet to become the master.

And, what is a yogi to do?! Seriously, if both camps are Edging God Out, where is the bloody transition, and how the heck do I get on it?! Believe it or not, it’s right in the middle. It’s an Arnold Palmer - perfect blending of lemonade and iced tea. Not all tea, and not all lemonade - mix them together. (Continued in first comment)
