Yoga Flow 1

"The Flow Of The Breath"



The practice of Yoga builds mental toughness, flexibility, balance and strength. 

This is my Daily practice.

Enjoy!  Do not forget to SMILE!


 The "Flow State Yoga"  Routine:

Start with 5 minutes of Box Breathing followed my 5 to 10 minutes of Meditation.   I  use the breath to transition.  Inhale, exhale move (flow) to the next.  I use the Deep Breath as "stop" anywhere from 2 to 5 breaths.  I am listening to my body.  What is it saying?  How are my muscles feeling?  Are they tight?  Is there pain?  Warmth?  How is My balance?  How is my breath effected by the transition or sitting in the pose.   I move slow and intentional.   Moving gently through each transition.  Remember to breathe.   Through your nose comes in  the breath.  Bringing fresh oxygen.  Energy.  Abundance!  "You got this" I say to my self.  Out goes the breath.  Taking with it the stress.   The burning of your muscles.  You may start to shake.  You are OK!  Enjoy going just  a little deeper.  More flexibile.  More relaxed.

Lets get started!

Why I Serve

Image
"Life is Suffering" I am grateful for the system of Unbeatable Mind.  Mark Divine put it together to get people through the toughest training on the planet.  BUDS! (Is Mark a poser? Or the real deal). He gave me the tools. I did the work. It was always up to me.  What it boils down to is what Buddha taught.....life is suffering.  When you let go, you understand it’s ok to suffer.  Get calm, get in your own head.  Get really quiet.  You gain an internal knowing.  I got this!  It’s going to be ok.  It’s the Big 4 (Breathe, Positive Attitude, Micro Goals, Envision Success).  Then you are at peace.  Peace overflows. You are at first alone. Then with fellow sufferers. You serve yourself.  You serve your Swim buddy (your inner circle), your Ohana (your family).  Your tribe.  The world.  This is the flow state in its purest form.  You give, the universe gives back in spades. You support your “boat crew” w...

Accountability Mirror

The Accountability Mirror.  What is it?  Goggins describes it like this:  You get up go to the mirror.  Who is looking back?   Are you seeing the person you expected?  Can you see your future Kick Ass self somewhere in the mirror?  Ask yourself "What is it going to take to get there?  What do you have to do".  Are you willing to do what it takes?  Are you willing to SUFFER?  Are you willing to get after it?  Are your willing to sacrifice? Who are You?  Are you seeing the person reflect back at you the person you think you are?  Or do you have work to do.  Are you Accountable?  Is what you do in private reflecting what you do and how you act in public? This is the starting line to your future!  Now is the time!  No longer are you looking at the wake of your life!  But setting the course from the front!  You see your future! It is Awesome! Now is the time!  The time to...

  Know the male. Keep the Female. It is knowing the Yin and Yang. The balance allows you to open your arms to receive the world.  Do this and become a child.  Because you know the light you understand the dark. Though this knowledge, Tao (God) is strong within you.
