Creating the Life You Want

Yoga is well known for its physical benefits, but it also has the ability to help us recognize our dreams and tap into our creative energy. Yoga fosters mindfulness, making us more attuned to our inner world. Practices like meditation and breathwork improve our ability remember our dreams and help us understand our subconscious thoughts and desires.

Practical Steps

1. Consistency: Practice yoga regularly, even for a few minutes each day.

2. Meditation: Include meditation to quiet the mind and boost self-awareness.

3. Dream Journaling: Write down dreams upon waking to uncover insight.

4. Creative Visualization: Use visualization during yoga to inspire creativity.

We will. be talking about recognizing, manifesting and creating our dreams all month long. Here's the journaling, mantra and meditation exercises for the week.

Our mantra for the week is…

I shape my reality.

Our journaling prompts are…

What are your dreams? Why is it important to you? Describe them in specific details.

What small, daily habits can you start to incorporate into your routing that will bring you closer to your dreams?

And our meditation is…a visualization to create the life you want

Find a comfortable seat. Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, allowing your lungs to fill completely. Hold the breath for a moment, and then slowly exhale through your mouth, letting go of any tension or stress. Repeat this a few times until you feel a sense of calm.

Set a clear intention for this meditation. You are here to visualize and manifest the life you desire. Allow this intention to settle into your mind and heart.

Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a beautiful forest. The sun is shining, and you can feel its warmth on your skin. The air is fresh, filled with the scent of pine and earth. As you look around, you see a path leading into the forest. This path represents your journey toward creating the life you want.

Begin to walk down the path. With each step, feel yourself moving closer to your ideal life. Notice the details around you—the colors of the trees, the sound of birds singing, the texture of the ground beneath your feet. Feel a sense of peace and excitement as you continue your journey.

After a while, you come to a clearing in the forest. In this clearing, there is a beautiful garden. This garden is a representation of your dreams and desires. Take a moment to appreciate its beauty. Notice the vibrant flowers, the lush greenery, and the serene atmosphere.

In your hands, you hold a small pouch of seeds. Each seed represents a different aspect of the life you want to create. Take one seed and think about what it represents—perhaps it’s a new career, a loving relationship, improved health, or personal growth. Plant the seed in the soil, and as you do, visualize this aspect of your life becoming a reality.

As you plant each seed, imagine yourself nurturing and caring for your garden. See yourself watering the plants, giving them sunlight, and protecting them from any harm. Feel the satisfaction and joy that comes from watching your dreams grow and blossom.

Allow yourself to fully embrace the feelings associated with creating the life you want. Feel the happiness, contentment, and fulfillment that come from living your ideal life. Let these emotions fill your entire being.

When you’re ready, slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel yourself returning to your physical surroundings. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and gently open your eyes.

Take a moment to reflect on your experience. Remember that the seeds you planted in your visualization are now planted in your subconscious mind. Trust that with time, effort, and care, you will see them grow into the life you desire.
