Visualize and Realize Your Highest Potential

Greetings yogis!

When was the last time you sat down and really got into your imagination: harnessed the power of your mind to create something that doesn't exist yet; channeled your thoughts to create positive change in your life? 

In 2014, a scientific study was done by Brian Clark at Ohio University. His work proved that sitting still, while just thinking about exercise, might make us stronger. How? Clark and colleagues recruited 29 volunteers and wrapped their wrists in surgical casts for an entire month.  During this month, half of the volunteers thought about exercising their immobilized wrists. For 11 minutes a day, 5 days a week, they sat completely still and focused their entire mental effort on pretending to flex their muscles. When the casts were removed, the volunteers that did mental exercises had wrist muscles that were two times stronger than those that had done nothing at all. 

How cool is that? There are many examples which illustrate improvement with power of the mind. Your mind is that powerful! So let's learn how to use it as a transformative tool.

5 Tools to Create the Life You Want

Here are 5 tools to add to our tool kit to help us positively impact our health & wellbeing while creating lives we love!

1. Mantra repetition: Look in the mirror each morning when you first & repeat 33 times the phrase 'I am powerful. I am living a life I love.' 

2. Establish goal(s)/desired outcome(s): Get clear with one word/phrase or simple sentence.

3. Index Cards: Write goal(s) on index card (s) & review each morning. Only one goal per card.

4. Sticky Notes: Place around home, in your car, as a book mark etc... to remind you of your goal(s).

5. Visualization: See yourself as your highest & best self. Do this right when you wake up (before your feet hit the floor): see, feel and experience yourself living what/how you wish to be most. Same before bed. This helps you keep the intention, energy & images primed and flowing throughout the day and also while you sleep. 

Let's Practice!

Join us at Embody (from wherever you are!) this week as we explore the power of visualization linked with breath & poses to realize our highest selves. Open your heart, free your mind, live your best life!

In the words of Buddha:
“What you think, you become.
What you feel, you attract.
What you imagine, you create.”

Powerfully yours,

Dana Christian Lee
