MISCONCEPTION ABOUT YOGA - " All yoga is the same."

-For me and other's who are being educated in the practice of Yoga, this misconception is actually easy to dispel. It is believed to many that all yoga is the same.
-In actuality, there is not one single practice of yoga. From Bikram, to Kundalini, to Hatha, and SO much more, you actually have a plethora of options to choose from.
- You can try a yoga class just about anywhere from dedicated yoga studios, to gyms, and even military bases these days.
- You will have a different experience each time because, each mindfulness coach has a different style. As time goes on, I'm noticing that there are many styles of yoga which can call to different people. It is just a matter of knowing your own style and which yoga practice fit you best, and speaks to your essence.
- How many times have you tried yoga that you had decided it is not for you? How many different styles have you tried? Did you know you can create your own unique flow? Did you come away from a class or two and were disappointed?
-Keep trying until you find your type!
- I have my own style that is coming to fruition and i'm in love with the fact that I can add my own unique style to my yoga practice as a mindfulness coach.
- I have begun to incorporate my 7 year old autistic son into my yoga practice and I have seen results! This has become a new found passion of mine and am working toward my own research and documentation on yoga for autism. I'm so excited to get started on that journey with my son, and hopefully other children with disabilities as well.
-You see, there is a yoga practice for everyone, even those with special needs.
*What can you add to this post about "all yoga is the same." Interact with me and you could be eligible to win some pretty awesome tools for your yoga practice! Whatever that may look like to you!

With so much gratitude,
Namaste,

THURSDAY
MISCONCEPTION ABOUT YOGA - " You need to be flexible to do yoga."

As someone who was new to yoga, I did have that thought in my head. But, teachers taught me that I do not need to be flexible in order to get the benefits of yoga. Doing my own research has shown me that. Yoga is not about whether or not you can touch your toes, although, eventually, you will be able to the more you practice, but that's not the point.

Let me break it down for you:
Yoga is an ancient system with it's roots stemming from India. The ancient system teaches you asanas (postures) that help you become more balanced, aligned, healthier, and to deepen your meditative state. When practicing these asanas, you do eventually become more flexible, but that's not the point, like I said in one of my last posts. The asanas help you to gain clarity, relaxation, release tension, and not burn fat, but burn karma. Yoga has nothing to do with making major flexible positions and seeing how long you can stay there to burn fat. This is about burning karmic debt, for the purpose of awakening your soul, and also uncovering your souls purpose. It's actually a spiritual practice, not an exercise or religious practice. Yoga includes breathing techniques, meditation, practicing nonviolence, body and mind management, stress management, practicing authenticity, and non-attachment, among others.

Notice how in none of that, I mention it is about shedding pounds and having the need for flexibility.... because, again, that's not the point. focusing on your breathing and practicing being truthful to you self and others is yoga. Going into meditation and using mudras (a symbolic or ritual gesture performed by the hands, used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) is yoga.

PERFORMANCE:

I realize there are a lot of misconceptions about the practice of Yoga. Unfortunately, some of these misconceptions around Yoga have discouraged some people from exploring and engaging in the practice.

Here are 2 when it comes to the performance of Yoga:
1)You have to be skinny, flexible, and do head stands. --> No.
Whether you are flexible or stiff, there is a yoga practice for you. Also, Whether you are skinny or plus size, there is a yoga practice for you! And anyway, it's not about whether or not you can touch your toes. You may be able to eventually, but that's not the point lol. In fact, many props are used to help everyone slide into the next position safely and comfortably. Props are used throughout the practice. NEVER feel pressured to do exactly what the tall, beautiful, skinny, model is doing on the cover of some wellness magazine or Instagram post. You do you boo boo, as Kevin Hart would say! Listen to you body. Do what you want and what feels good. Have fun! Explore! Be curious!

- What's the point of Yoga?
The word "yoga" is Sanskrit for "connection", "harmony", or "communication". The point? To achieve oneness with your most authentic essence. Your true self. Exploring and revealing this can actually reveal what your purpose is here on this earth. It's to achieve oneness with your mind, body, and spirit. It is designed to rewire your conscious and subconscious practices, and elevate them into something positive, through body, and mind management.

2) Yoga is sporty and competitive. Who can do which position better. --> No
- Although elements of physical activity are there, it is not meant to be competitive or to be done in a rush. It's a yoga practice, not yoga perfection or competition.

- Yoga is about listening to your body. What feels right and nourishing to your body. What is nourishing to your body, is nourishing to your mind and spirit. It is to improve those 3 elements. It was not designed to shed a few pounds.

-Yoga is a combination of (I just got feel good goose pumps while thinking about writing this part for you to read lol ) spiritual, mental, and physical practices. The purpose is to align with your most authentic self energetically, mentally, spiritually, and physically. To control your own thought patterns, to achieve the flow into ascension, into something spiritual.

-Yoga teaches us to keep equilibrium, control out body, to connect to our essence, to look deep within, face what needs to be faced, work through it, heal it, and for most achieve connection with our Divine Source too.

- Difference between yoga and any other physical fitness? Yoga is here to rewire and reach a higher state of the conscious and subconscious through mind and body management.

Let's Get MetaPHYSICAL ;)

Ok listen, just a heads up, this blog post might get a little X-rated so, if you have little ones around you as you're reading this, just turn your laptop or phone away from them. There is something that I have been wanting to share about sex and energy. When I hear clients talk to me about their sex lives, there was always one thing that I knew for sure to share with them because of experience and also through what I've learned from one of my Priestess teachers, it is this, now listen up:

You need to know that before you get involved with anyone sexually, you need to know that sex does bind you to the other person and vise versa. During the intimate moment, you two are exchanging energies.... literally! You now have part of their life force for good and same for them, with you. Before you get involved you need to think, " who are they really inside? do they carry anything you know for a fact, you would not want to carry too? Who do I want to carry around forever?" The energy sticks. It is literally within you and you within them. So make sure that this person really means something to you and has something good to offer you energetically. Especially if you are still working through trauma of your heart, solar, and sacral chakras. Some people don't understand this, but sex is a ritual. It's a holistic practice. You are actually having a sacred moment. So remember this before you get into exchanging energy with someone.

On another note, there is this thing that society has brought us up to believe that, having sex is something bad unless done with your husband or wife and I have come to find through connection with God that, this is not true. You should care who you allow close to your body, a sacred space in itself, however, you do not need to be married. So, you can relax and feel safe when having sex with your partner. Sex is such a blessing to us, people don't realize. At the moment of climax, you would have had to surrender your breath in order to orgasm. There are only two ways to feel orgasm through surrendering of your breath, sex and the moment of death lol, the moment of transition. There have been many stories that I have read and have heard from someone that when they had their near death experience, they tried holding their breath only to feel like they needed to surrender their breath and the minute they did, they felt orgasm and they then saw the other side and God and their angels. This tells me that God wants us and needs us to practice this everyday if you can. You can have a serious connection with the Divine after orgasming and then going into mediation for the connection. It's something powerful and something I want you to try, whether its with a partner or by yourself. It's healthy to achieve this alone by the way. You need to be intimate with yourself because you practice acceptance and self love by doing so. Be in love with yourself, it is not selfish. And don't  let anyone tell you different. It is a ritual too.

On the subject of orgasm, did you know that you achieve total alignment in that moment? But, unfortunately, it doesn't last lol.  Your chakras go back to being out of alignment. But, in that moment of orgasm, it makes it the perfect time to manifest and push out intentions of something that you're trying to manifest and bring into reality. Talk about doing your work lol, you can achieve a lot spiritually and energetically at the moment of orgasm.

I will say make sure you are getting involved with some that means something to you. Someone you actually love and appreciate because, the last thing you want to do is exchange energy with someone whos sending energies of "eh, whatever, this means nothing to me, I just need a pick me up" etc. Why? because you will feel that, you will carry that, and the energy is actually extremely low vibrational. It's negative. It is a transfer of their inner problems to you. You don't want that.

So with that being said, if you are looking to create a love/ kundalini sacred space in your bed room, listen up:

1) Declutter, clean, sage, your entire home. open your windows and let the sage smoke go out the window, carrying any obstacles, negativity, and any stagnant energy from your home and yourself.
2) Get yourself a pendulum. Why? You need to figure out if you are in need of some deep healing in your heart chakra and sexual areas of your body. There may be past issues that you haven't dealt with yet and can be the root cause of you not being able to manifest the partner you are looking for. For more on understanding how to use a pendulum, my book here: (Book) goes into detail, how to use one. Also, I want you to watch my YouTube video about the truth in manifesting love here: (video) Because you need to know everything.
3) Set up your sacred space on the northwest corner of your bedroom and/or home. The gemstones you need are, Rose Quartz for attracting love of any kind. Pink Opal for a change in relationship. Whether you need a sexual and connection change in your present relationship, or you know you  need to be attracting a different type of love other than the ones in your past which, didn't work out for you. Garnet if your sexuality is asleep and you're really reading this because you need to know how to wake up the kundalini within you. You can also use fire agate, carnelian, and sunstone for that. And last but not least, Chrysoprase for the healing of the heart and past trauma. Also, Rhodochrosite for deep healing of the heart.  
4) On your sacred space, place any symbols such as hearts, which symbolize love and sex, there. Any God's or Goddesses and deities that you will be seeking healing and guidance from to help you on your journey. And Remember to always give thanks and leave offerings to any Gods, Goddesses, and deities that you seek guidance and wisdom from.

Here are some Affirmation I Wanted to share with you to help you with aligning your chakras and creating equilibrium which is very important to your mind, body, and soul.

1) Root - I am safe
2) Sacral - I'm empowered around my sexual self
3) Solar - I know who I am sexually and have confidence.
4) Heart - I unite sex and love, and open my heart space.
5)Throat - I openly communicate what I need sexually.
6) Third Eye- I know my sexual needs.
7) Crown - I am connected to the Divine Source as a sexual being.

Here's what I think about relationships and intimacy, and this is just according to Jennifer. I am not saying this is THE WAY to do things but, here is what I feel I know.

1) I think people complicate things when it comes to sex and relationships. It became clear to me while in connection to my Divine Source, that sex is a sacred ritual which should only be shared with someone you have a real and pure connection to because it is a spiritual ritual, a ritual done to create life and also to achieve spiritual connection to higher realms , you can actually receive messages during the moment of orgasm. You gain powerful and potent manifesting abilities while at that state of being too. It creates a flow of energy and it can unblock stagnant energy which can actually cause disease, cancer, and other ailments and illnesses..... so basically have sex because its good for you spiritually, sexually, physically, and mentally. lol!! And it's ok if you are not marries. Just don't use anyone.

2) When it comes to relationships. Men and women as a couple. I really do think men NEED to feel masculine. I see too many relationships where the woman wears the pants and is the masculine... everything and leaves no room for the man to … well be the man. And that can cause upset. Women make the mistake of not supporting their man's masculinity. And now you have create an unbalance in the relationship and with the man. Which actually isn't healthy.

3) What women need from men, is to feel safe enough to be feminine. Men make the mistake of not supporting their woman's femininity.

4) Now this can be a heterosexual model to follow too. One can be more feminine than the other and balance can be created still.

5) To me, as I sat and learned and listened, is that an ideal sexual relationship  is where I can say to my partner "I'm coming to you as a women who knows who she is, knows what she wants, is all grown up, and knows what she needs. Now I want you to come to me completely as a man." To me this is the perfect union. The connection is equal and in respect to both. And the man can say to me or to their partner, the same thing but, in masculine. He needs to say and understand that you (woman) needs to be the divine feminine to his divine masculine.

6) You have to feel safe enough to have this kind of balanced experience and to go on this journey with each other. You both have to take responsibility for this experience and SHOW UP and DO THE WORK together.

7) Now don't make the mistake in thinking that you need someone to complete you. You can complete yourself and you have to know that and believe that before getting into this experience with any one. And so does the other person. But go on the journey to completion together. There is a trust dynamic there that you really want to establish in your relationship before getting intimate.

So I really wanted to share this information with you. relationships is something that comes up always in readings for me and as a mystic and soul path reader, I have made it so that I explain this to my clients. It is my purpose to redirect someone on their souls path and that even includes relationships. So there you have it. My spiritual guided take on all this. Hope you enjoyed this post! If you did give it a like and share with others.

Blessings,
Jennifer

Mabon: Everything You Need To Know About The High Holiday

Mabon: Everything You Need To Know About The High Holiday

So many different history stories are told about Mabon. How it became and what it symbolizes. My favorite story about how Mabon began is the ancient Greek history story of Persephone and Hades. The story mirrors what the time of year is all about; your shadow and light self, seeking equilibrium between the two. Mabon (aka the second harvest and the autumn equiox) is the day that the northern and the southern hemisphere have the exact same amount of sunlight because of the tilt that the earth is at. It is at a right angle to the sun. 

So why else is Mabon such a big deal to Pagans, Wiccans, Mystics, and anyone who considers themselves witches? Because it's a time which marks the beginning of some serious shadow work. It is a time to harvest light. Light, if you think about it, is the key to life. You need light to see through the shadows, your shadows. (For information on shadow work, watch this video: Shadow Work Video ) 

At this time we say good bye to our father, The Sun, say good bye to the South as we turn the wheel once again to the West, (the west holds Fall in the wheel), and it's time to bid farewell for all we learned about ourselves because of the spirits which hold the fiery Southern gateway for us, who helped us understand the lighter part of ourselves, all the lessons we learned within the light. It's a time to give thanks to them. " South represents Summer and is a time of great abundance. The summer holds fertility, passion, growth, joy and peace. The color is white. The animals of the South hold the lesson of strength, courage and pride. The eagle with her keen sight and the wolf, proud to be part of the tribe." - https://www.gaia.com/article/four-directions-ceremony 

We thank all who hold and host the south as we begin to turn to the west.

The western gateway, "to the winds of the west, Mother Jaguar, protects our medicine space, teaches us the way of peace, to live impeccably, and shows us the way beyond death." - Sacred-Wisdom.co.uk

The harvest is coming to an end. The crops have been picked and gathered to be stored for the winter. We take this time to honor the changing of the seasons and celebrate the second harvest on September 21st. We give thanks for what we have in abundance and blessings. We turn to mother ocean when we turn to the west too. This is the time where the work you did has come to an end for now, and now is the time for celebrating your souls harvest. A time to allow mother ocean to wash away your burdens and worries you no longer need to carry. You need to take this time to rest, release, receive messages from through the veil as the veil thins. A time to prepare for a rebirth, a time for manifestation and creation, with the help of mother ocean. 

Here's what I want you to understand about Mabon that, as you rest and release, you need to know. Like I said before, this is shadow season so, this is the time to understand that part of yourself. To get into your shadow self, you want to allow yourself permission to BE YOUR TRUE AUTHENTIC SELF. This is a time for stillness, creating equilibrium between your light and shadow, and acceptance. We have been anxious and tense as if we have been waiting for something to come a long that may have made something better for you. Let that go. Surrender that to mother ocean. 

This is where my favorite Mabon story comes in. The day that marked the beginning of Mabon, the wedding and union of Hades and Persephone. Here's a short version which I will just get to the point so, will not tell the entire story, just the main points. These amazing vows written in the book of Handfasting and Wedding Rituals: The Story of Hades and Persephone (115-119), by Raven Kaldera, Tannin Schwartzstein. I want you to read this for a detailed look at this history. 

So Demeter had only one daughter, Persephone, and Persephone was a curious creature. She would wonder out in the meadows and explore. She would play with the flowers and wonder about mother earth and her creations. She, however, could feel an intense vibration from underneath the grass and dirt. She wondered what lay beneath. Something within her wanted to learn and explore the underworld. A natural attraction. One day as she played in the meadows, she stumbled upon a man. This man was the God of the Underworld; Hades. Hades had been watching her and thought that she was just the most light and beautiful woman she had ever seen. He felt her light, something he knew he needed, something he was drawn to. So, he lured her into his arms and took her into the underworld. Hades is one of three sons to the great God of the Greek Pantheon. The great God, who when he died,  divided this earth into three realms amongst his three sons. The oceans belong to Poseidon, Neptune got the skies, and Hades got the underworld. None is better than the other. Here's what I need you all to understand about the underworld, IT IS NOT AN EVIL PLACE, THIS IS NOT HELL. Everyone goes there because we all have a shadow, a dark yet deep and egotistical place within ourselves. There is no way we can skip this realm. Here's the thing, if you did good things, you're going to a good place, if you did evil things, you're going to an evil place, however, Hades, the underworld is not an evil place, this is not hell. You need to delete this made up story that hades is bad. It (unfortunately) has become Christianized and as myself having Christian roots, I do not appreciate this. They have attempted to rewrite history. A history that was written in stone since before the "good book". And this rewritten work doesn't even make sense. No, Hades, the underworld is not a bad place, it is not hell. delete that right now everyone!

On to the story, So Persephone says to Hades, that she is afraid and wants to leave, but Hades gifts her 6 pomegranate seeds and it seals her in the underworld. One for each month she has to be with him. So, she is afraid because Hades stirs things up in her that are dark and deep. Hades explains that he too is afraid because Persephone stirs things up within him that show him the light, that she brings light where there is darkness and he feels he needs that. They balance each other out and they create this destined union. They fell in love.

They didn't know it, but those desires that made them curious about what lay above and beneath, they unknowingly summoned and manifested each other. Their hearts desires lead them to their souls path, their destiny, their union created Mabon because it is the day that light and shadow reunite as one. 

We honor the union between Hades and Persephone.

So the 6 pomegranet seeds represent that 6 months that Persephone stays with Hades. September 21st, she returns to the Underworld to rule with Hades and then when March comes along, her mother Demeter calls her home and she returns to the surface. 

In the story, Demeter worries about her daughter and alerts all the other God's and Goddesses of her disappearance and they go on a search for her. When they locate her, they see her in the underworld but, she cannot come up until March. So when march comes around, her mother is always there waiting for her return. Funny thing, when she returns, it happens to be the time of rebirth, the spring equinox! Talk about a very cool history story. 

It's a sweet story and one we can learn from. Mabon is a time to learn about our shadow self. What about our shadow do we need to face? The shadow is the typically the things that shame us. What we are afraid for others to see. It's our ego. Again for more on shadow work watch this video here: Shadow Work Video This is the time to sit there but not live there as Persephone couldn't not live there herself. It is not a place to live, but to visit from time to time to learn about the aspects of us that are authentic. To come to terms with out true authenticity. And each time we come up for air in March, we are a lot happier, we are more balanced, we are more free, and more accepting of ourselves. I ask this Mabon, you go visit Hades in the underworld. Allow him to teach some things about yourself. To release what needs to be released. What needs to come up. What needs to be given a voice and be heard. 

So I am sure your wondering how you can begin your shadow work this shadow season. Well watching the video can give you a good head start and also, having tools to help. Here are tools you will need this Mabon, Samhain, and for Dea De Los Muertos (when the veil is completely open to receive guidance and messages from your loved ones who have passed, your ancestors).

Your Daily Psychic Reading

9/15/19

Seems like we have some remembering to do. There is a lesson that still needs to be learned and It is coming for you (the issue) again and again, and this time, again lol. That's ok, we are here to learn and grow and spiritually expand until it's our time to ascend. What do you find coming for you that reminds you of a past issue? Maybe something comes up that is directly link to a past life or ancestral. Whatever it is, it's time to sit and work on it. Face it. Visit with it for a while and try to understand it. Write about it. whatever this may be. I advise you to re-read this card.

Earth Star Chakra: I bet you didn't think you had another chakra past your base/root chakra! Well you do! It's called your earth star chakra. " The Earth Star Chakra, also known as Subpersonal chakra and Super Root, is connected to Foot chakra. It is located at the bottom of the feet approximately about 12-18 below the feet. The Earth Star Chakra is the grounding point of the whole chakra system."

Black Kyanite: As you see in this picture, I do not have a black kyanite, however, there are other stones you can use as a substitute for black kyanite. So what I have shown in the picture is black onyx and petrified wood! When combined, can do what black kyanite can! What can this kyanite do for you? " I consider black kyanite a Top 10 stone for healing, space clearing, and energetic protection. It wards off any and all energies that aren’t for your highest good and calls in white light to replace them. Black kyanite can also help you access past lives and clearly see what areas within your soul need healing and retrieval. It’s a great stone to work with during shamanic journeying.

Meditate with your large black kyanite blade, allowing its essence to clear and replenish your energetic bodies. Take it with you during sacred journey to serve as a guide that helps you access other dimensions while staying grounded to Earth. May these large black kyanite blades serve you well as you clear all that no longer serves you."

Myrrh Resin: " Myrrh is one of the most ancient resins and has healing properties that protect, balance, and bring peace to you and your space. Myrrh also lifts stagnant vibrations and warms the spirit. "
