If we truly want to manifest our desires we need to change this negativity cycle so we believe in our dreams, allowing our brain to look for proof that we can have it. In order to change this thought cycle we need to find tools that teach us to recognize our patterns, allow us to see clearly what we really want (beyond the material) and change our brain patterns so they believe we can manifest our desires. One effective tool for changing perspective is visualization.

One thing that has become very clear to me in my Yoga Therapy practice is how disconnected we are from our bodies until something goes wrong.

I first came across Sarah Tomlinson's work in Elena Brower's soulful newsletter for Yoga professionals Teach:Yoga, where Sarah's Yantra Bliss Cards were featured. I was immediately captivated by her Yantras. Yantras are mystical geometric diagram, traditionally used in India for the worship of deities and aid in meditation. Specific yantras are traditionally associated with specific deities.

I have an almost paralyzing fear of heights. I’ve had this fear most of my life. I have always taken to heart the expression that if we face our fear we will conquer it. I can’t honestly say facing my fear of heights has helped me to conquer it. But I have made an effort to face this fear so it would not hold me back from some of the most amazing experiences of my life. 

Fear lives in the future and draws us out of the present. This practice helps you learn how to get in touch with your emotions and stay with them and stay present. When you become aware of your fear and how it affects your body you are bringing your mind back to the present.

This is an extremely easy practice to help you get in touch with your intuition and learn how fear manifests in your body. Being mindful of your body's reaction to fear is an important first step in overcoming it. When you are experiencing intense fear it can be very difficult to start practising mindfulness. This walking meditation will help train your mind and body to relax when it is feeling fearful and give you a tool to help diffuse fear when it gets intense.
