KIKI THE YOGI: ADVENTURES OF AN ASPIRING YOGI

How Yoga Saved My Life

A quote that really changed my life is a quote by Ram Dass, “Your problem is, you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness.” In 2019, I hit, what we would call “rock bottom.” However, this rock bottom ultimately became my moment to come clean with my family, my friends, and ultimately myself. I know now that this rock bottom could possibly be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I had always been interested in yoga and attended classes here and there but after all the hardships and difficult situations I had endured I wanted answers or a playbook on how I got here and how I could turn my life around. I had just turned 30 and thought my best years were over and I had thrown them all away and had nothing to show for myself. I had dissapointed my parents, my family, God and myself mostly. But I ended up buying a book by Owen Thomas Ashton called “Twelve secrets of Radically Healthy People.” These twelve steps are the following: 1) No Excuses 2) Be Happy 3) Turn Suffering Into Motivation 4) Become Self-Motivated 5) Unplug from the Conventional Health System 6) Seek Knowledge 7) Eliminate Addiction 8) Know Your Purpose  9) Attack Challenges 10) Live by a Higher Standard 11) Exercise 12) INTENTION CONTROLS TRANSFORMATION. This book is not necessarily about yoga but for me, I felt like these were guidelines for me to climb out of the hole I had created. KiKi the Yogi: Adventures of an Aspiring Yogi serves as a vessel to project my passions, and clue in my loyal readers as to what inspires me in this crazy world. So, sit back, relax, and read my story. 🙏 Namaste ~ the light in me honors and recognizes the light within you.

Quotes to Awake the Inner Yogi

This section is dedicated to quotes that have truly motivated me on my quest towards this life and these goals I am working towards. I think they should be shared with everyone :) 
Namaste 🙏 Namaste literally means, “I bow to you.” ... The spiritual meaning of namaste conveys that “the divine in me respectfully recognizes the divine in you.” Namaste invokes the feeling of spiritual oneness of heart and mind, with the person one is greeting.

THE YAMAS AND NIYAMAS BY DEBORAH ADELE JOURNAL CHALLENGE


Here is the first YAMA:


AHIMSA or NON-VIOLENCE

Turns us from harming self and others to kindness and compassion for self and others.

“Ultimately, we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves, more and more peace, and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world.” -Etty Hillesum (a young Holocaust Victim)


WEEK ONE: Practice Courage. Do one thing daily out of the ordinary. If you’re feeling brave, make that one thing something that scares you. Find the difference between fear and unfamiliarity. Watch what happens to your sense of self and how your relationships with others might be different because you are courageously stepping into unknown territory.

WEEK TWO: This week guard your balance as your most precious resource. Not from what balance looks like in your head, but from the messages in your body and inner self. Do you need more sleep? More exercise? To eat differently? To pray? To add more variety? Act on the messages of your body and explore what balance looks like for you this week. Notice the effects on your life and others.

WEEK THREE: This week, watch where you are running interference on others’ lives. Are you a worrier? A fixer? Discern the difference between help and SUPPORT. Notice what you might be avoiding in your own life because you are taking so much interest in others’ lives.

WEEK FOUR: For this whole week, pretend you are complete. There is no need to expect anything from yourself or to criticize or judge or change anything about you. No need to compete with anyone, no need to be more or less than you are. Note your experience. Notice how much pleasure, kindness, and patience you can allow yourself to have with yourself


Feel free to post your updates or entrdis towards your own self discovery. Also, I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for more in their lives. It is basically a "how to" book on living a happy and rewarding life (not just for people interested in yoga) and it is also made for people with ANY religious beliefs and any backgrounds. It is completely non-judgmental and just great for anyone beginning in the journey to find themselves.


Namaste.
