Empowerment & Wellness Webinar
How you too can find true well-being, and be empowered by the things you do.
And it’s all about how you “Feel”, taking control over your life.
Everyone wants to be well, but often we don’t want to do anything for it. If I don’t care about my nutrition, my exercising, I don’t want true well being. Wellbeing is the price, if you choose to work for it.
Like me, have you ever felt lost, not knowing what you want from life, being tired, not having enough motivation, feeling that life is just a struggle?
I thought I’ve chosen this, I accepted my misery, and this is where I went wrong, as many of us do when we experience hardships.
It doesn’t have to be this way. I understood that I can turn this around, that it I don’t have to live like this.
I became confident with myself, I moved from introvert to extrovert, there was just a lot of insecurities and a lot of burden I carried with me, which I decided to change. It was a whew effect when I realised this.
My first big passion became Health! Because I was so freaked out of getting sick. I felt fear, and this fear helped me to change my lifestyle. I was not just eating healthier, but I had to let go of the bad things, like drinking alcohol, smoking and not sleeping. When you’r young this might not effect you but as I got older this had to stop. I also started to exercise my body which before I didn’t have a real need for.
Finding Yoga was an enlightenment experience for me, since it felt so good and I thought I could do this kind of exercise, I wanted to make a habit of it.
First it was the mystic part I was interested in yoga, interested about spirituality and things like life after death. Over the years I learned that yoga is so much more. Yoga is not a sport, but the physical movements in yoga are part of the bigger picture to keep the body healthy and fit and yoga in itself helps to be more conscious, to “feel” more and to connect with the spirit.
In the old yoga, a system which is estimated 25.000 years old the body often was neglected, it was all about the spirit/mind. In contrary in the west today yoga is all about the body, and we neglect the spirit/mind.
In the new yoga we understand that both body and spirit/mind are important since we are complete beings. We have our own thoughts, passions, dreams, careers finances, and all this.
Stepping on the path of yoga started with the physical practice and then I got into meditation which gave me real aha moments.
For a long time I thought I should stop thinking which was impossible for me. I thought you need to be a super human to be able to do that. So for a long time I thought meditation is not for me.
Until I learned a new approach to meditation which is a dynamic form and learned that I’m not supposed to “not think” but rather “focus” my mind and bring it into one place, to use it making choices and creating what I want.
Everything what happens to us in life is because we “think” it. Think about that! If I tell myself that all my struggles are just what they are, they will be exactly that. But no, I tell myself a new story. I say I have all the power in the world to achieve, to feel how I want to feel, decide how I want to live my life.
And this power - You have it as well, we all have it.
So in terms of well being, what do we want? Everyone wants a piece of happiness, right? Nobody can be happy all the time, but we can have happy moments, real ones, not the fake pretending to be one.
Wellbeing can also be prosperity, something I’ve been working with for a long time, there is this energy and if we just recognise and change, I believe we can have what we want.
But it’s not enough to just think about what we want all the time, but we have to set an intention and do something for it. It’s more than goal setting, but to grow as a human being.
The base of all this is “feeling”. When you feel you will make better decisions. You will more likely know what you want, that if something's not good for you you feel it, it is called intuition.
Here we are calling on intuition and sensitivity in the body. Not the mind, since the mind is already quite sensitive. Physical sensitivity is something like, you eat unhealthy and it doesn’t feel right, you know it.
Feeling at ease in your life or being content? Most of us are all the time searching for something better, something more, so we consume, spend money buying stuff. It makes us content for a while but what’s next?
Wellness is empowering ourselves, to be going inside. To be exact into our Heart Centre.
