We receive many of our cues from society. We've heard them so much we may not even question them. One of my least favorites is "fake it till you make it." It fosters duplicity, shame, guilt and as a yoga teacher, being OK with appearing like we know things. This may translate into teaching things or taking on clients even though our skill set may not be up to par. Adopting this mindset is inauthentic at best, dishonest and potentially dangerous to our students. We may not even know that we're doing it or how this can negatively affect us, our students and the ripple effect it creates. Listen on and see how "fake it till you make it" is the complete opposite of non-harming and truthfulness which are two guiding principles for teaching and living.  Support the show (http://www.keepthevibegoing.com)

Our role as a yoga teacher and in many aspects of our lives, is to witness the journey of others. Think of yourself as a supporting role.  If we find ourselves frustrated with the actions of others. If we think they are doing something "wrong" or not producing results we feel they need, look deeper within. Here we discuss these points and I give you a simple exercise that you can use for any interaction so bring about the intention of the good of all involved. Support the show (http://www.keepthevibegoing.com)

Negativity is toxic to your entire system. Clearing negative energy is an important strategy on your journey of holistic well-being. One of the Buddha's foundational teachings is that life contains suffering. You could just as easily say that life contains negativity, as it is one of the more insidious disguises suffering wears. Negativity can make you feel heavy, dark, and gloomy; feel emotionally reactive and defensive; and view the world through a mixed filter of fear, anger, and paranoia. Sound familiar. Let's dig deeper and learn what negativity is and how to remove it.  Support the show (http://www.keepthevibegoing.com)

I took a hiatus from podcasting to build an online business. I couldn't wait to get back to sharing yoga and life with you. This episode was one of the most difficult for me to record. A part of me wanted to share this story because the secrecy of this type of abuse keeps it going. Another part of me did not want to give the psychopath an audience. I hope that I did the topic justice and highlighted the healing instead of the abuse. If you've ever had an encounter with a psychopath you know the devastation they leave in their wake.

As humans, we are receivers and transmitters of the cosmic Life Force Energy — the Universal Energy that gives life to all things. Our thoughts are energy and give rise to our emotions, which in turn are simply energy in motion — like invisible clouds hovering above and around our physical body. How we feel, what we say and how we move all give signals out to the universe at a particular frequency which will invite things that live at the same vibration. We have the ability to harness it and to change our vibration so that we are requesting what we want instead of what we do not want in our lives. Support the show (http://www.keepthevibegoing.com)

When certain characteristics in someone’s personality trigger a negative reaction from you, there is something within you that is coming up because it is ready to be healed. Usually, it represents issues from your past that have gone unresolved. Sometimes it's a long standing fear you have that needs attention and reconciliation. Then there are the individuals that cross your path that bring out the best in you reminding you that you are worthy of the love you give. How we see the world is in fact the way we see ourselves when no one is looking. #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcasts #day #looking #music #radio #today #week #two #episode #iTunes #marketing #app #news #list #episodes #show #thanks #followtheyogi #vikkysantanayoga #yogapodcast #meditation #yogateacher #yogateachings #yogamom #yogagirl #yogawarrior #contentment #happiness #sadness #evolutionyogacc #youaremymirror #triggers #mirrors #lessonsSupport the show (http://www.keepthevibegoing.com)

The non-judgmental quality of mindfulness is very important. However, the absence of judgment toward unwanted experiences is necessary but not sufficient. We also need to cultivate the presence of kindness, compassion and love – toward ourselves, toward others, and toward the inevitable unwanted, painful and otherwise distressing experiences in life.There are two especially important ways of loving others and ourselves, known to all of the religious and spiritual traditions of the world. Buddhists refer to them as ‘lovingkindness’ and ‘compassion.’ These are ways of relating to ourselves and others that promote acceptance, calmness, happiness, and freedom (especially from suffering-causing reactions and compulsions).Listen to this guided meditation often. It cultivates not just love, kindness and compassion to others. It also opens you to contentment. A state of being that is necessary to feel joy towards yourself. #podcasts #listening #podcast #love #work #people #time #apple #applepodcasts #day #looking #music #radio #today #week #two #episode #itunes #marketing #app #news #list #episodes #show #thanks #followtheyogi #vikkysantanayoga #yogapodcast #meditation #yogateacher #yogateachings #yogamom #yogagirl #yogawarrior #contentment #happiness #sadness #evolutionyogacc #mettameditation #lovingkindnessmeditationSupport the show (http://www.keepthevibegoing.com)

Today we're exploring the practice of yoga nidra. What it is, how it benefits us and how to craft your resolution so that it is effective. In yoga nidra we do not actually go to sleep but instead teeter on the very edge of it. In fact you’ll hear me say “remember no sleeping” as I guide students in yoga nidra. It is the state between wakefulness and dream. This state is where the mind and mental awareness are dissociated from the sensory channels. Through this practice we are relaxing but we are also restructuring and reforming our whole personality from within. We burn old patterns of behaviors to begin anew.

We misidentify with many things in this life. We confuse what we do, say, think, feel, experience and even own with what and who we really are. In this week's session I talk about how moving away from the stories we tell ourselves is a key to our healing. We'll learn about how the mind stores solutions from long ago limiting our ability to see things as they are today. If you find yourself stuck in a story, which is actually the ego, take a listen. We are not seeing things, including ourselves, as they are today. We are seeing things as they have been in the past through the eyes of our past. The key is to look behind the story and start the process of feeling the feels.
