What makes your stars align? |
It’s you. Of course, there may be some cosmic forces at work but, here on the ‘ground level’, having your ‘stars be in alignment’; having everything feel like it’s ‘falling into place’, or ‘coming together’ … that is, in a very real way, within your control. You can begin by physically aligning your body […] |
How should they be structured?
This week’s intention is: Goals.
Today we close out our weekly intention of #gratitude, and there is a special group of Zenners I’d like to thank:
Congratulations to everyone who completed the Zen In 7!
And, keep going.
People sometimes ask me ‘how I have so much energy’?
The truth of the matter is that you do as well … we all do.
We are all born with that inner fire, that electricity that is Life, that charge …
… it’s just a matter of tapping into it, and […]
At the end of every Zen57 class, I ask you to “Thank yourself, thank your Higher Self, and to thank your Self for doing this for yourself.”
We practice Zen57 daily to take care of our Self.
When we take care of our Self, we are in a better position to take care of everyone else.
The people we love.
Our friends.
Our community.
In fact, you might say that it is only to the degree that you take care of […]
The push-up plank is our ‘pose of reflection‘.
In order to hold it for 3, 4, 5 or more minutes – with good form – you must look deeply into your own mind.
If you’re afraid to do that, you will fall down.
You must be with your thoughts.
You must breathe.
You must allow whatever comes up to do so without attempting to suppress it.
When you do this, you train your mind, and change your body.
As Joseph Campbell said, “The cave […]
This week’s intention, ‘take away sight, add vision’, is a phrase you’ve heard me say before if you’re a true zenner.
I’ll often ask you to close your eyes during the Katamudras.
Why?
Because sometimes we must close our eyes in order to see more clearly; to have better vision.
Vision and sight are most definitely not the same.
Great athletes have vision. They know where everyone else is on the field or court at all times, not because they […]
Last week I challenged you to look deeply into your ‘Winning Formula’.
Did you enter the cave you fear the most?
Are you ready to shift away from operating in terms of ‘what you have to lose’, and instead think of ‘what you have to gain’?
This is a very scary thing for some, to potentially let go of something which they have acquired. (Status, wealth, relationships, comfort, possessions, etc.)
Yet paradoxically the only way to make room for […]
What does it take to win?
It takes a winning formula, which is this week’s #intention.
Your ‘winning formula’ is the subconscious framework that leads to the conscious actions you take in pursuit of success.
We are creatures of habit. We remember which patterns of thought and behavior worked for us in the past, and which did not.
Then, […]
