Forgive yourself, that is the only thing you need to do today

You know that voice that come from inside, the negative aspect of every being that pushes you down?

I have been and are still struggling with that voice, telling me what an ugly failed being I am.

But after years of just letting it swirl around, I started to talk back to it. I started to discuss with it why it needs to be there and why it keeps telling me negative things.

That did not really help..

It was when I started to add COMPASSION into myself that things started to change. Whenever the voice came up I started to forgive it and feel love and compassion for it. I noticed how the "voice" got confused at first, but the compassion and love I put into myself helped made the voice get less loud and the forgiveness slowly opened up blockages, which I then could let go.

What I know now is that alot of what that voice really are is memories, patterns and emotional blockages that has gotten stuck from growing up. And from not forgiving myself for inrooted memories and blockages, the voice got stuck on repeat.

In Nuad Thai Yoga we believe that emotional issues shows up physically in the body as aches, pains, tightness and many other issues. Thai helped me release emotional blockages that had been hidden in different part of the body. Keeping forgiving myself helps me to stop adding further blockages and emotional problems. It´s all connected.

Now when the voice comes up I embrace myself and tell myself "I forgive you" I forgive myself for all that I have done, things that happen, thought I have had..

Remember, there is nothing to wait for. Don´t wait for the right time, forgive yourself now, i this moment. The past and the future are history and fiction. You only have this moment.

Try it today and comment below, did you found a shift? anything you can forgive yourself today that you did not think you could in the past?

Scared of your own emotions?

Have you ever been afraid of your own emotions? Feeling that you don´t have the control over them that you would like?

I believe it is very common.

Your body is so smart. And the body and mind rather push things away then to deal with it.

I also believe that a lot of habits and stuff can be stuck in our bodies without us being aware of it. The body is probably reacting to it but not in the way that is obvious.

It´s not that the mind will figure out exactly why you are feeling stressed, anxious or having pains in your physical body.

I believe that listen to the actual physical body is the answer. Listen and feeling our body and by follow our intuition of what to do, we can release the negative emotions, patterns and stuff.

By really listen to your body and knowing how to work the body.

How does this sound to you?

I am all up in this right now. Cause this is what my upcoming online course is about.

When your mind ignores your worries, your body does the talking. What’s your body telling you?

Stop feeling tired and have the energy to do everything you want for your life.

What if you could release emotional issues and stop the aches and pains,  what if you could release it by knowing how to, and find the true reason for your suffering.

What if by massaging and taking care of yourself will get your stress level down and make the anxiety go away.

This is a 4 week course where you will go through your body and mind bit by bit and though that, get to know yourself on a whole other level. And from that hopefully find the true source of issues.

I will be there along the way during the 4 weeks, but you can complete the course whenever best suits you as well. Once you have signed up, it is yours for life.

I will offer the first 10 spots for free so if you are interested in this course, email me at: info@nuadthaiyoga.com and claim your spot!

Your turn to take action; comment below and share of what you do to take care of your emotional and physical well being, maybe what you do can help someone else.

Want your mind to just shut up? Try this

Have you ever felt that you just can´t shut your mind off? Maybe it´s nothing special that is bothering you. Things are just fine, but somehow your mind is just flattering in front of you like a drunk butterfly?

I have had that many times in my life. And deep inside I know that the reason is that I am doing it to myself. But I could not really put my finger on how or why it happens.

Sure, I have turned my phone and TV of from time to time and just being in silence, but still it did not get me as calm as I had hoped.

the noble silence in the 10-days mediation course I went to this summer answered this question.

Truthfully I could not really understand the whole "noble silence" thing in the beginning. it sounded good in theory but I did not understand the real reason for it.

After 9 days of silence I had noticed that mediation was not as hard as I had thought. It´s hard in many ways but I noticed that I got my mind to quiet down a little faster each day.

Day 10 arrived which ment that the noble silence was over, and we all could talk to each other. The teacher also said that it would not be any serious mediation going on at this day.

I did not truly got what the teacher ment until we all started talking.

It was a chock, all the voices, the noise level, peoples energies, everything just rushed trough the whole center. My whole being felt very stressed and nervous.

After talking it was time for our first hour of mediation of the day, and that is when I realized what the teacher had talked about. The mediation got 100 times harder. Everything I heard in the last few hours just took over my mind, and that was pretty much it for a while until I got my mind a little calmer.

So, here came one of the revitalization.

If a couple of hours of talking and outer influences makes it hard for myself to calm the mind down. No wonder that many times in my regular life that I find it so hard to calm my mind down. Cause it´s not all talking and listening. It´s being out in the society, other peoples energies, social media, iPhone, emails, phone calls, test messages,

here is a list with what you need to get to get your mind so calm down:

- Someone reminding you everyday to focus on the moment, each and every moment.

- Whenever you start to think to much, you need someone to remind you to stop thinking and be in the moment.

- Someone who decides when you can check emails, Facebook and other things.

- Someone that will keeps track on your reactions to outer things, and then keep you from not reacting.

sounds great, right?

And no the list is not at all serious,

What you can do is to start become aware of all the outer influences that you account er, and watch yourself and see how you react.

A small change can also help you not to react.

Try this:

- close your eyes and tune into your breath. Don´t try or think to much about it. Just close your eyes and feel your breath going in and out of your nostrils.

- every time you breath out, relax your whole body completely. Do this a couple of times, and see if you can come back into your body.

See if this helps to calm your mind.

My new thing is to stop watching or reading stuff on TV or the computer that makes me feel overwhelmed with any kind of feelings. Cause it effects me in a very bad way. It makes me stressed and unfocused on the things that matters.

Is there anything you watch or do that make you feel anxious, nervous or scared? Maybe try being without it one or a couple of hours or days and see if you feel a difference in your life and mind?
