Yesterday morning I woke up, and I drove downtown Kansas City to Maya Yoga for the Sunday morning community yoga class. Maya Yoga holds a special place in my heart as this studio, community, and teachers have healed my heart many times since my first class in this studio in 2008.

From losing jobs to losing friends to changing jobs to leaving jobs and starting new adventures in my personal and professional life. Maya Yoga is also the studio where I completed my Ashtanga teacher training in 2015.

I love Ashtanga yoga as it is a set sequence. Once you learn the sequence, you can really drop into your body and just breathe.

If you’ve been to one of my Namaste All Day retreats, the style of yoga I teach is Ashtanga based. I focus on the breath to movement. I love to queue poses that allow you to lead with your heart.

Forward fold – Deep inhale, long exhale, and lead with your heart.

Dive forward – lead with your heart.

Seated forward fold – imagine I have a string attached to your heart, and I’m pulling you forward.

Seated tree pose – Deep inhale, long exhale, and fold forward to lead with your heart.

Seated butterfly pose – lead with your heart.

Bridge pose – imagine there is a string on your heart pulling you up to the sky.

All of these poses are heart-openers. There is power in physically connecting with opening your body to open your heart emotionally.

When our heart is open, we are more loving, kinder, and more compassionate.

How can you lead with your heart this week?

In your relationships?

In your work?

In your Self Care?

In Honor of Love

Today’s Monday Morning Motivation is from Trust Life by Louise Hay.

I am very thankful for all the love in my life.

Allow these affirmations to fill your consciousness, knowing they will become true for you. Practice them with JOY.

From time to time, I will ask those I love how I can love them more.
I choose to see clearly with the eyes of love; I love what I see.
I draw love and romance into my life, and I accept it now
Love is around every corner, and joy fills my entire world.
I rejoice in the love I encounter every day.
I now deserve love, romance, joy, and all the good life has to offer me.
I am surrounded by love. All is well.
I am beautiful, and everybody loves me.
I am greeted by love wherever I go.
I attract only healthy relationships I am always treated well.
I am very thankful for all the love in my life. I find it everywhere.

Remember, when you love yourself, you glow from the inside. You attract people who love, respect, and appreciate your energy. Everything starts with how you feel about yourself. Start feeling worthy, valuable, and deserving of receiving the best life has to offer. Be magnetic.

Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Valentine’s Day.

How often do you take time to notice what is right in your life?

Do you take time to notice what is right in your life? Or do you focus on the negative, the lack, on what you don’t have?

When you focus on what you don’t have, you are operating from a low vibe energy, a place of lack vs. a place of abundance.

When you shift your energy to a space of gratitude for what you DO have, you shift to a HIGH Vibe energy which is a place of ABUNDANCE, and you can easily attract more of what you really want in your life.

Studies have shown that focusing on what’s going right in your life can have a powerful impact on your mental and physical well-being. There are many reasons as to why focusing on the positive are beneficial; it helps to reduce stress and anxiety, it can help improve our relationships with others and it can help us be more productive.

Take time to notice everything that is going right in your life.

With your Health

In your Relationships

In your Work

In your Home

In your community

With your Spirituality

Write it down. Share it. Say it out Loud!

Be grateful for everything you have this week.

Notice how your energy shifts and what you start to attract next! Begin living a more fulfilling, happier life for yourself and those around you!!

How can I lighten my load?

Check in on your Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual energy

5 Ways to Create a Vacuum of Abundance

sarahucoach
June 28, 2021

What do you think of when you hear the word ABUNDANCE?

Overflowing fullness; Abundance of the heart

Extremely plentiful or over sufficient quantity: Abundance of a physical product

Affluence or Wealth – The enjoyment of Abundance.

Recently I’ve been experiencing much Abundance in my life both personally and professionally. I’ve posted some of my enjoyments of Abundance on my Facebook page and I’ve received many congratulations and acknowledgements. Several individuals have asked me “What has changed?” “Why do you think this is happening?”

I’ve spent some time thinking about these questions and my answer is “I’ve created a vacuum of abundance in my life”

Today I’d like to share with you my 5 steps to create your own vacuum of abundance.

Create Your Vacuum of Abundance

Get really clear on your WHY

Why do you do what you do?

What makes you jump out of bed in the morning?

Having a clear Purpose and Vision is so powerful. It also helps to get really clear on your Strengths, Needs, Values and Goals. Having this awareness provides a solid foundation for you to build upon. Just like the foundation in your home. If there are cracks in your foundation your home will become unbalanced and more significant problems will start to happen.

One very powerful tool to help you get clear on your WHY is to Create a Vision Board. Having a visual reminder of your Strengths, Needs, Values and Goals will keep you focused on creating the life you really want.

Be Intentional

How do you spend your Time?

How do you spend your Energy?

Is your Time & Energy aligned with your Purpose and Vision?

If not, what shifts do you need to make in your daily, weekly, monthly habits?

Let Go of Your Energy Drains

Releasing your energy drains can be very difficult. Especially when you may not even realize its draining your energy since you’ve been putting up with it for so long.

You may be in a role with is in alignment with your Strengths and your Passion but the environment which you are in could be sucking the life out of you. Perhaps you work with extremely negative or toxic co-workers or customers. Perhaps the company’s policies or philosophies make you compromise your integrity. This goes back to being clear on your Strength, Needs, Values and Goals. If you are compromising a value which is part of your core foundation of WHO you are – you need to leave the job, relationship, environment.

Surround Yourself with Like Minded People

Who are your people?

Who makes you feel good about yourself?

Who cheers to you to ATTRACT more abundance?

Where to they hang out?

Take the Best Possible Care of Yourself

If you don’t put your oxygen mask on first how can you physically breathe and take care of anyone else in your life.
