What Mistake?

-


I have been making lots of "mistakes" lately, feeling like they were happening to me as opposed to the other possibility. I was creating.  I was creating scenarios in my thoughts unconsciously, and then as I watched events play out, they were much different then I thought they should be.

This is not new for me. The mature being is not tossed about by these supposed mishaps, but takes them in stride and sees the opportunity that these "mistakes" present. It is time for maturity in my life, but that is not always what I find. The opportunity to admit a mistakes happens, without fail, daily and perfectly, and sometimes it just plan comes on the wrong day at the wrong time. No matter when it comes though, the opportunity to perk up for the lesson is key. If we can make use of this, without shunning or condemning the self, we can grow character, and further, hope.

If we are to call ourselves conscious creators, mature, in any sense of the term, we must practice being conscious within the process of creating. We must practice hearing, feeling, and using our inner-guidance system. This is the beginning of the process.

The opportunities will present, and what we will to think and do will show the situation anew in each moment. May our actions be guided through the depth of our presence. What we do when we get "there" is a direct result of what we thought/did on the way to "there."

Wouldn't it be nice to know how we got where we are, or better, to recognize before you get there where we are headed and change our minds? Or, before we move at all to set the correct stage for the action?

Taking time to meditate clears the chalkboard of creation and allows you to have space to create consciously, to know where you are headed and to know why. As you take the time to see where you are and slow down the pulses that surge you over the falls, or decide beforehand not to go at all, you will create that which is true for you and the most direct path to where you want to go.

Meditate on the fruits of the spirit. To find these, begin to study scriptures, sutras, the written or spoken word that resonates with the Truth of who you are. Meditate on the solution rather than the problem. Uncover the truth that "mistakes" show you: where you are in relationship to where you would like to be. Take the time to see supposed mishaps for what they really are and grow into the mature being you were meant to be.

To see how to do The Practice: Meditate on The Word! Watch below. When you bring the seeds of righteousness into your awareness, that is what you make yourself aware of within your experience. It will be what you think about, and it will be what manifests.

Music and Yoga

-
Once after teaching a Vinyasa yoga class, I was directed by a fellow yoga teacher to consider the volume of my music during class. I was surprised that the teacher found the music too loud. This is not to speak of whether it was or wasn’t, it was too loud for her, but I’d never personally thought of the volume at all, except during the quieter times a class provides, times of introspection. I was accustom to plugging in my ipod and “rocking out”. The idea that music should be loud, only played softly or played at all during a yoga class is one to consider. It is not uncommon for many teachers to throw out musical accompaniment in order to usher students through directions and into, what maybe for some, a deeper connection to their practice. However, many yoga teachers strive to guide with the use of music and as this becomes a guide, I find it more important to consider the music we are plugging in and then adjust the volume. No one can say whether yoga is more effective with or with

It's time to move on. I will no longer have the "blogger.com" chasing courtneyrohanyoga.  I am excited to welcome you to my  NEW SITE which will offer us an easier way to work together.  For what feels like a long time, maybe 7 years now,  I have been squirreling away creations and filing things to share, waiting. It just never felt like the right time, or things never felt all the way ready. They still aren't. But, they are more ready each year.  I appreciate that about life. We continue to grow and become. We continue to follow the bread crumbs. That reminds me of a blog I wrote here called Intuitive Coaching for a BreadCrumb  . It was 2016. I had just moved to California then. At the time I was wishing so bad to help people find their purpose, while searching for my own. I still feel that way. I want to stand in the gap for people and listen for things that they can not/ do not want to hear on their own because we don't have to be alone all the time. And I wan

I’ve been extracted. I know it sounds funny But like a alien Spaceship invasion I’ve been sucked out of my world And dropped almost abruptly Into a new place where Accents are so strong I can not understand A language that appears To be my own. I’ve been abducted From all that I know In order to entertain Southern hospitality Farms and extreme heat And there are times When the little bits still Left of myself miss The smog, mice And frequent hollerings Of a mad taxi driver “Move the Fuck out the way” Honk, Honk-- loudly With banishes That are not the sound These aliens make Where they drive snail slow In an attempt to get somewhere. But I recognize demon speeds I even know how to avoid them Or make them happen And it doesn’t bother me I can make it home safe there. But here Where the clouds Sun red as Pluto, moon, stars are always Beautiful and close and the rain Pounds like waterfalls and then Crickets I am clean and hot again And unsure I will ever make it Home The roads go on for ev
