Sedona Vortex Video, Our New President Obama and What is your Service Commitment for 2009

President Obama has just been sworn in and we have a new president. Yesterday, I watched Oprah as she called for each person to commit to being the change we want to see. What is your commitment to be of service in 2009? Here are some small changes that we can all make that will create the change we want to see.

1. Hold a vision of what you want. Just like our new President hold a reverence for word. Choose the words that you hold in your mind and the conversations that you have with friends, family, and work comrades. Make your words positive or stop the conversation.

2. We can be the change we want to see and create ripples of peace worldwide. Remember the song let peace begin with me. Create peace where ever you go, lend a hand when you can, smile and meet someone's eyes and send love. Our world is in the process of change, you have the choice to participate, or watch.

3. Respect yourself, our environment, and our brothers, and sisters. Do no harm, take no more than you need, recycle and clear your clutter. Stand in your power and spread love, peace, and laughter, where ever you go. Lighten up and laugh at yourself and life. Laughter is healing share it often.

Check out our Sedona Talk Radio and listen to our Let your Light Shine in 2009. Hope you will leave me a message about your commitment for 2009 to be the change. If you are in Sedona we hope you will allow us to be your Spiritual guide to Sedona.

Spiritual Retreats, Happiness, Stress Management and Peace of Mind

Spiritual retreat is a great time to go within through yoga, meditation, and spiritual focus. Tomorrow I will be interviewing Gurutej a well known, and sought after kundalini yoga master and teacher. Her blog tour is being hosted at Promo 101 Virtual Blog Tours.

Well over thrity years ago I began my yoga journey. I first began my studies in yoga looking for ways to deal with stress and to keep in shape. Little did I know, at the young age of twenty-five, that yoga had many deeper benefits than just being in shape. I continued my yoga quest and began to study and practice daily yoga with tapes from Kripalu Center just outside of Boston. This daily practice transformed not only my body, but soon began to transform my mind, and my life. I studied about the body, mind and spirit, and the connection between the mind and physical disease. In 1991 I founded and directed a state-approved school and clinic of holistic health and become one of the first schools in CA to offer a state-approved Yoga Teacher certification.

Yoga has been my guide for creating a deeper connection to spirit and stimulated a kundalini awakening in my late twenties that changed my life forever. Kundalini yoga is a very powerful yoga practice that transforms stress, and creates unlimited energy for health and vitality. Follow these tips to practice awareness and deep breathing throughout your day. Breath awareness will empower you to end your day with energy for your home and family.

Commit. Make a commitment to be present throughout your day and take your reactions off auto-pilot. In order to change you must learn your stress buttons and realize how stressed you are. Each time you become aware of holding stress in your body or mind take a deep relaxing breath and learn to let go.

Visualize the most beautiful place you can remember. Feel yourself in your peaceful place in your mind. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, breath deeply again, and as you exhale allow your body to completely relax. See yourself full of energy at the end of your day having accomplished all your tasks and still full of energy for your evening at home.

We would love to be your spiritual guide to Sedona. If you have heard the call to Sedona, we would love to assist you in creating a life changing spiritual retreat.
