When practicing yoga, the body is trained slowly to do what the mind tells it to. At first a shoulder stand seems difficult, but after some practice, it becomes a flowing part of who you are. When I first started years ago in a younger body, I could not come near the idea of moving my legs up over my head in a shoulder stand and onto the floor behind my head. Now it is a daily practice. I concentrate and feel my body responding slowly and know with each slow movement of the body directed by the mind, I can feel self control and the power of body and mind in unison. And with this practice, I can choose to improve and challenge daily.
When practicing hypnotherapy or self hypnosis, we observe our thoughts and can feel the effect on the body and our unfolding life. In encouraging others, we encourage ourselves. Life is a boomerang in that way. Observe how you talk to yourself. Self doubt is natural and good for keeping ego in balance. Source wants you to know and seek truth in all things. Attempting something new trains the mind to move forward through error and just when you think "I am no good at this", ask if it is something you really want or need. If the answer is yes, then nothing can stop you. Never put barriers around your potential in this way. Comparing yourself to others, you will build walls that constrain your personal gifts and potential. Keep these thoughts in mind and observe when you go off track, then get back on.
Our gifts are many. If we make a daily practice of stretching a bit, both mind and body, personal success and achievement happens. But this is not for the purpose of showcasing for others, but to realize the power and connection to Source. This is how we tame the ego and increase the awareness of our part in the great plan. It truly is a miracle how each individual has arrived in the here and now. Billions of years of evolution and here you are! The ego is a heavy burden to carry around and it creates stress for the individual as well as others. Taming the ego is not an easy task, but again with practice, the soul is lighter, laws of attraction work to your advantage and your current and currency realize abundance and joy.
Often I have related to my clients that they use about as much of their potential as is in the tip of the baby finger. And this is true. The mind gets clouded with non useful information and the body follows. This is the culture we live in. You can still be cool and significant by living "right". In fact those you admire for their success have done this. Luck comes from alignment with source and working toward goals. Why not do for yourself what you admire in others.
Test the mind and body and observe what you can accomplish. Prove to yourself that the limits you think are real are actually mostly self imposed. Practice the union of yoga/mind in what ever you do and have the courage to challenge yourself. It really is a win~win life after all.
