People are often triggered by the traditionalist path. As a devout yogi, no different than a Christian or Muslim, we believe sruti and sastra to be the word of God. And we follow its guidance through the clarity and purity the practises afford us.
As a basic overview:
Meditation lets us listen to the silence of our soul, teaches us passivity and tolerance, allows us to attune ourselves to the virtue of listening, and slowly reveals to us maya (illusion).
Prayer allows us to confess our sins, to release the weight of the world, and to exercise our voice in a way that keeps us humble and in humility, and ultimately washing away our worldly self superiority.
Pranayama enlightens the mind and body through spiritual resuscitation, and is like a transfusion for our life-force.
Asana allows us to loosen, open and strengthen the body and create harmony in it for basic operations like sitting walking, running climbing standing.
Mantra works the mind into a hypnotic fit so we are released of worldliness and focussed on the light of divinity.
Virtue, as described in scripture, guides our behaviour and actions and enables us to operate according to the efficacy and dictates of the soul.
This is all a brief description only to create a bit of context. Ultimately, when we choose this traditionalist path, we’re openly admitting were sinners, we’ve sinned and we’re reviving ourselves so that we can fulfil our Dharma; our incarnated spiritual purpose.
Regardless of the path, as traditionalists we often experience antagonistic and hostile remarks like:
“you and your sky daddy”
“You think you’re holier than thou”
“Your little books are fiction”
“Your type have ruined the world”
“You have a spiritual ego”
Now I get that there’s always going to be people on this traditionalist path who behave unkindly. But we mustn’t forget that unkind people are everywhere in all areas of life. But in this context, those traditionalists are usually the ones who don’t genuinely follow scripture. Just like a doctor will be ill advised if they haven’t read their manual nor follow its instructions, likewise, a yogi will be ill advised if they don’t read and follow the guidance laid out in Sito and sastra.
Choose peace, my friends. Choose peace.

We all have things in our lives that seem permanent. Situations or circumstances that just seem to carry on.
• Maybe it looks like you’ll never get out of debt.
• Maybe you’ll stay where you are, at the same earning level for the rest of your life.
• Maybe your relationship hasn’t changed one bit, and the same level of intimacy will always persist.
• Or maybe the anxiousness, depression, or insecurities will just linger from here on out.
But just as the wind parts the clouds in the sky. Just as the sun bathes over your skin with warmth during the winter months, life has blessings and unique and natural ways of removing obstacles which may look permanent right now.
• Just one little shift can take you out of debt
• Just one good break can take you to a new level
Preparing for my trip to Bali last year, I was training for 3 ironmans and planned on taking my triathlon bike. But I needed a case to transport it. And so I bought one online, but it had been stuck at the border for over a week. So I called the postal company the same day I was leaving. And as much as I tried, they said there was no way it would arrive on time.
I know the situation was minimal, but I didn’t think I’d be able to bring my bike. And so without reaction, I looked around for a used bike case. And within minutes I found one. And just as I was transferring over the funds, my phone rang. It was me father-in-law calling to let me know that the bike case I had originally ordered, just arrived.
Impossible.
The postal company on that same day said it would take at least 5 days. Not only that. The case arrived from a completely different postal carrier.
How?
Well this is a perfect example of the blessing. You may think your current situation is permanent. You’ve been there a long time. You can’t see how things will ever change. All the facts are telling you it’s impossible that things will improve. But life’s saying:
• You need to get ready
• I have blessings coming your way
• Just stay with your morals
• Where you are is not permanent
• I’ll take you further & higher
• I’ll increase you beyond thought
• I’ll bless you beyond your salary
• I’ll change things for the better

Ancient scripture talks about how life is the potter and we are the clay. Life forms and moulds us by allowing us to be in uncomfortable situations:
• We’re not getting our way.
• We’re not being treated right.
• It’s not happening as fast as we would like.
This pressure demoralizes us on purpose, bringing to light the hidden shadows of our character. Things like...
• Defensiveness
• Pride
• Anger
• Pessimism
• Selfishness
• Arrogance
• Being critical
• Resentment
• Or being easily offended.
These are traits we should aspire to wash away through osmosis. We may not like it, admitting the preciseness of our shadows to ourselves or hearing about them from our partners or from our close friends. But it’s all happening for a reason.
• Some will say it’s gaslighting
• Some will say it’s virtue signalling
• Some will even invent terms like mansplaining or womansplaining.
Bu this is the real work. Becoming a better, more loving, more joyous person who gives.
• They live through their morals
• They walk with faith
• They invest in their inherent talents
• They give these talents to the world
• They believe in the supernatural blessings
We have to understand that life uses every situation, including every traffic jam and every difficult person, for a purpose. Every time our feelings get hurt, we need to remind ourselves...
• This is only a test!
• I’m in a trial!
• This is an opportunity to come up higher!
The irritation was never designed to frustrate you. It was designed to help you grow, to help you develop. I’ve learned you can’t pray away every uncomfortable situation. You can’t rebuke every trial. Life provides difficulties to help us grow.

The battleground is in our mind. And the first place we lose the battle, is in our thinking.
• If you don’t think you can overcome the challenges of your past, you never will.
• If you don’t think you’ll ever meet the right person, you never will.
• If you don’t think you can accomplish your dreams, you’ll be stuck right where you are.
But if you change the consistency of your thinking, everything will change! The energy of existence is arranging things in your favor. Life has written it in the leaves, in the flowers, in the waters, in the sun, and in the sky’s that no good thing will be withheld from you.
How many times have you said the same thing? How many times did you pour all of yourself into that one thing?
And like clockwork, every single time, you get to a point where you have to face the adversary of opposition & adversity. Too many times you’ve said to yourself:
• What’s the use
• l’ll never break this addiction
• My relationship isn’t going to get better
• I’ll never accomplish my dreams
• I’ll just settle here. It’s good enough
But you’re not weak. You’re not defeated. And you’re not lacking. You have the necessary strength for every battle. And that obstacle you’re facing right now, it’s no match for you! You have the most powerful force in the entirety of existence breathing in your direction.
Problems were never destined to prosper. That’s not there purpose. They are designed to be solved. Just as a grade school math equation is designed to be solved. So next time your thinking faces the adversary of opposition and adversity... face it with courage and curiosity, strength and tenacity. Because when you do this... your thinking tries to compute the problem. It tries to analyze the constructs of it, it sources out the weak points, it weighs the probabilities, and ultimately solves the riddle. Because that’s what problems are: they’re riddles.
So your mind is going to be renewed today, and it’s going to completely change the way you think! Not because you’ve got a good idea, but because the truth life has created you to be,
Rests
Inside
Of
Your
Soul.

Sometimes in life, the fog will settle in. And it’s hard to know if you are headed in the right direction or not.
Deep down, you know life has put a promise in your heart. But every voice is telling you:
• You’re too old
• You missed too many opportunities
• It’s not going to happen
• You’re too far behind
• You’re not qualified
But it’s in those foggy times, that you have to dig in your heels, draw a line in the sand, and say,
“Life, lead the way.”
Despite how you feel. Despite what people are telling you. Despite how it all looks from here. Give today everything you have.
Because the fog means you’re in a trial. It means you’re up. It means life is watching you, right now. It’s your turn to show that you believe and that you not going to lose your way.

We need words of faith and victory spoken over our life.
Because words can create a powerful, lasting rise of ambition. And when you can receive the right words, they can ignite a shift.
I’m not just trying to make you feel good. I’m declaring, a shift is coming. Matter of fact, it’s already here. There just needs to be a shift in your perspective first.
Life has breathed in your direction a new way. The shift you’ve been waiting for is here. You just have to open your heart to it. Because when your heart opens:
• Your language changes
• Your interests change
• How you see changes
Embrace the shift. Because it’s here right now, smiling with excitement to propel you forward. What should have taken 30 years, life has given you in a split second. The shift is acceleration. And it’s going to take your where you couldn’t have gone on your own.
• The shift is in what the medical report had deemed impossible. And you can now feel your cells, your aura, energetic circuitry and power stations all changing course.
• The shift is in how you see people, which now gives you strength, inspiration and motivation, instead of comparison, judgment and insecurities.
• The shift is in how you see yourself, your body, your eyes, lips, hair, gender, skin, voice, skills and talents From judgment, denial and shame, to sacred, appreciative and celebratory.
• The shift is in seeing your off-course child change their mind and with supernatural phenomena, finding themselves back in your arms of support promotion towards a brighter future.
• The shift is in having your best year when the circumstances say it’ll be a down year.
• The shift is in seeing with your own eyes, life not only delivering and providing, but doing so in exceedingly, abundant and above-&-beyond fashion.
So let your new attitude be like the winds of summer weather. Let it say:
• Life, I’m ready!
• I’m taking the limits off of you today!
• I’m enlarging my vision today!
• I’m letting you guide the way today!
• I declare I’m coming into a shift today!

Increased Capacity to Receive
Pranayama Sadhana | Increased Capacity to Receive
Although life has amazing things in store for your future, it is limited by your capacity to receive. Let’s say you have a 1 gallon bucket, and yet I have 50 gallons to give you. The problem is not with the supply. The problem is that you don’t have the capacity to receive. You want more out of ...

Although life has amazing things in store for your future, it is limited by your capacity to receive.
Let’s say you have a 1 gallon bucket, and yet I have 50 gallons to give you. The problem is not with the supply. The problem is that you don’t have the capacity to receive.
You want more out of yourself and out of life. And all you have to do, is enlarge your vision and make room for the new things life wants to give you. And you will without a doubt receive the blessings, if your attitude can say:
• I know life has promotions and increase that are already lined up and waiting for me.
• I know life’s blessings surround me like a shield.
• This will be a great year if I just follow through, trust, and increase my ability to receive.
When you change your attitude like that, you’re allowing life in and you’re enlarging your capacity to receive and to see the goodness of life in new ways.
There’s three types of receivers:
• Some who walk around with faith the size of a small cup, maybe because of personal challenges, or traumas, or a struggle that has endured for many years.
• Some who walk around with faith the size of a bucket. They’ve done ok. They’re surviving, they’re looking after themselves and their family, but worried it could all disappear, so are hesitant to increase.
• And then there are the unusual, who have stretched their faith and beliefs so far into the unseen, that they now walk, talk, think, act, and believe, knowing that the supernatural increase is right here, right now. You can see it in their eyes, in their spirit, and in their livelihood.
So i’m asking you to increase your capacity to receive. To hold up your morals as a priceless item. To stretch your faith and to dream bigger. To go beyond the barriers that hold you back. To make room for life and to do something new. To give life permission to increase you.
Have a bigger vision for your life. Let your attitude be:
• This is my year to go to the next level
• This is my year to see a supernatural increase
• This is my year to become totally healthy

When you realize what life has given you, it becomes harder to shrink back into the fear.
It can be difficult to admit during the hard times, but life has given you a lot. You are equipped. And you are just one small step away from feeling empowered. And so my question is this:
• Are you overlooking all the small things?
• Are you overlooking all the ordinary things?
I ask this, because I too have overlooked the small and ordinary things. But when I stepped back, I began to see them and I began to use them. And it was those small things that I had overlooked, which became the exact things that thrusted me into new levels of my destiny.
Maybe your current perspective is:
• I don’t have the talent
• I don’t have the education
• I don’t know the right people
But the truth is, you have exactly what you need. You just have to take the time to look and acknowledge what life has given you.
Don’t you give up on yourself.

The thief in your mind who’s out to steal your promise, gets stirred up when you start dreaming big.
So be on watch. Because when you’re that bold, don’t be surprised if it throws doubts at you such as:
• You could never do that.
• You don’t have the talent.
• Too bad it’s not going to work out.
• You don’t have the connections.
• You’ve made too many mistakes.
• They won’t like what you have to offer.
• You come from the wrong family.
• The medical report is not good.
• You won’t get the support.
So here’s today’s message: you’ve got to preemptively know that negativity seeps in and gets stirred up when you start asking life for big things.
• It’ll leave you alone if you settle and pray only small ordinary prayers.
• But it’ll start bombarding you with doubt, worry, concern, and insecurities if you start praying god sized prayers.
It’s just what happens when you start asking life to take you places that you’ve never been, to touch a family member who’s been off course, or to give you the hidden dreams of your heart.
It’s gonna work out, I promise!
Just smile, wear your morals strong, don’t let them crumble during the challenge, and keep walking towards your dream.
Don’t you give up on yourself!
