![]() Releasing thought - Today I have to forgive someone....someone I don't know well, but in order to move forward I must forgive. I'm hopeful I will forgive this person, although I will never do business with the person again. Hope - I believe hope grounds us and lifts us up....hope brings a sense of possibilities that life's true desires can be obtained. Living a life of happiness allows hope to work with you, happiness brings hope, hope leads to making optimistic choices, your hopeful outlook attracts all that you need as you need it. Living a life that is negative or anxious allows hopelessness to reside within you, you're not connecting with your true self instead we make fear based decisions, and have woe is me thoughts that nothing will work out. It's up to each of us to determine if we want to live a hopeful life of uncertainty or a hopeless life of uncertainty, personally I choose the hopeful life of uncertainty, knowing that my positive life force energy, my self love, self acceptance, peace, joy and happiness all support manifesting my true hearts desires......Hopelessness leaves me stuck....Hope is my guide!~Yogatones NAMASTE, ~T

![]() Fact: my daily meditation has inspired me to write daily....now I share snippets of my writings with intentions to inspire others! Inspired - to be inspired is to be moved by your own essence, your own internal spirit igniting pure happiness from within. I believe inspiration comes from being open to life, open to the unknown, when we're open to the unknown spirit it allows us to receive energy of inspiration. If you're closed to the unknown spirit of self you block inspirations, instead you see through eyes of fear, insecurity, jealousy, judging and negativity. We ultimately inspire ourselves, self awareness of what really inspires us leads to manifesting our true hearts desires. Open yourself to be Inspired by YOU then share that positive happiness and energy to Inspire OTHERS! ~Yogatones NAMASTE, ~T ![]() Today was the last day of reading with kindergartner's for school year, and to my surprise each one of my five students gifted me with these lovely handmade thank you notes...SWOON!! I love kids they give so loving and innocently...... I'm sad this was the last day with these munchkins, and happy to be starting with another group of children for the summer program...... Be of service, especially to our youth! NAMASTE, ~T ![]() Happy 48th Birthday to Me!! How fitting was today's meditation on playfulness, every time I'm on my mat I use it as my daily place to play....today my mind, body and spirit asked for heart opening back bends, I obliged.....NAMASTE Playfulness - we each are born with the energy of playfulness, I believe it remains with us until death. It's important to keep this playfulness energy alive, it's the energy of joy, peace, and love from our true self. Playful energy to me is living carefree.....care free and responsible, we all have obstacles that may limit us from our true desires, but if we approach these obstacles with playful energy our creativity flourishes, removing obstacle after obstacle as we grow through life, living our true heart desires, no time worries, no second guessing, no ego, just trusting the path of living your true self.~Yogatones Mindful Moment Playfulness, lightheartedness, and joy – this is the spirit from which all creativity flourishes. If we want to truly share the abundance of our manifested desires with others, then we need to create from that place of playfulness within our hearts. When you desire in a carefree state of awareness, there are no ego demands or feelings of desperation about your desires. ~Oprah CENTERING THOUGHT Desire is my creative play. SANSKRIT MANTRA Aieem Namah My true self is playful and wise. Namaste, Toni ![]() Happy Saturday! Such a great Love filled day lies ahead for me, I'm starting off by visiting with one of my spiritual sisters, whose energy I absolutely Love being around, then I'm off to speak at the Alumni Association of Cook County School of Nursing annual luncheon, where I'll share the beauty and Love of mindfulness yoga and meditation. Rounding things out by spending the afternoon and evening with more Loves in my life......I hope you each have a Beautiful Loving Saturday too! Manifesting True Joy - is brought to life by living from our true self, being aware of our hearts desires and living to reach them by connecting with our own truth, our powerful energy, and nurturing that energy so it expands out into the universe, allowing us to give and receive abundance of love. Our expanded energy always attracts what is needed to manifest true self joy, we must know this is not a selfish process, you see we manifest our true joy by being of service to others. Daily we knowingly and unknowingly share powerful energy with all whom we consciously connect with, we share it with a silent prayer, simple smile, a warm hug, a pleasant hello or an appreciative thank you, which are all forms of being of service to others.......you'll never know how a smile, or silent prayer can change someone's entire day......Beautiful powerful loving energy attracts all you ever need to manifest your true joy and desires......Get out today and share your Loving Energy!~Yogatones Mindful Moment To create your life from your inner core means you are manifesting from the same source and intelligence as the universe – your desires are in tune with the creative and evolutionary forces of Nature. This alignment with the universe ensures that your wishes will manifest at the right time and under the right circumstances for everyone affected by them. You don’t have to try to figure out mentally how to balance your individual needs with the needs of those around you.~Oprah CENTERING THOUGHT My desires manifest at the right time and place. SANSKRIT MANTRA Sharavana Bhava My awareness is aligned with the creative power of the universe. NAMASTE, ~T Don't Dim Your Light - At birth we enter into a world of love and light no matter the mode of your arrival, love and light awaits you. It's what begins to happen soon after our first breath, it begins to shape and mold us.....as we grow life circumstances, energies, and experiences, have a direct effect on the light we shine. Negative feed back to ourselves fed by words, thoughts and judgements that others have placed upon us dims the light, and so begins our nourishing of self doubt, nourishing of our insecurities, nourishing of our fears.....soon everything around you appears dark and lonely, your living, moving and breathing with unconscious awareness, your desires are present but you're living in dim fear, you can't imagine manifesting these desires, as your light continues to dim you settle for the life you're unconsciously living, unaware and bounded by fear........Don't Dim Your Light! Take slow mindful steps to change the bulb brighten your awareness, live, move, breathe consciously and fearlessly. No matter how dim the light we each have the power to change our own bulb. Connect consciously with your breath, be humble, sit daily in meditation, provide daily self prayer, move fluidly with the intention of creating strength, flexibility and unbounded awareness to live life's desires mind, body and spirt......Shine, Shine, Shine!! ~Yogatones
Mindful Moment In meditation, we begin to experience how the dynamic creativity of our awareness effortlessly moves our thoughts toward fulfillment. If we use any mental strain or effort trying to manifest our intentions, it doesn’t help – the tension will only delay and constrict the manifestation of desire.~Oprah CENTERING THOUGHT I manifest desire easily and naturally. SANSKRIT MANTRA Samyama Hum My consciousness is both active and silent. ![]() Garden and Bike update.....some people buy two cars I buy two bikes! Top is my Getting it in ride and the bottom is my garden, chillin' and shopping bike #nofilter its really lime green, you should see the smiles and stares I get, hey it was a steal at $50! Look at Mi Garden, things are coming along nicely, though my basil is struggling, but I put it in too soon, oh well I'm not giving up on it just yet....instead I'm gonna give it some TLC and time. ![]() True Self - knowing our true self is the power that allows us to manifest the life we truly desire. Meditating daily provides me quiet, peace, love and clarity, that stays with me as I move in the world full of various energies. Daily yoga asanas keeps me balanced, grounded yet open to all of these energies, my spirit takes in energies that are needed and releases energies that are not aligned with my true self. The power of daily meditation and yoga is subtle yet obvious, energized yet still, silent yet loud......Meditation and Yoga introduced me to my true self.~Yogatones Mindful Moment The skill of manifestation is in using our awakened self-awareness. There are three components to this awareness: expanded consciousness, focused consciousness, and fluid consciousness. The unity of these three creates the matrix of manifestation. Unbounded awareness is our silent, expanded self. It is the un-manifest potentiality from which everything emerges.~Oprah CENTERING THOUGHT I am pure unbounded awareness. SANSKRIT MANTRA Om Hreem I see the unity behind diversity. NAMASTE ~T ![]() What a difference a few days make!! After getting a bit of work done, I peddled 22 sweet miles along the lake, then stopped by the garden after all the rain things are sooo green out there!! I watered the plot and met some more of my community members.....everything about this experience is lovely! Growing, fellow shipping, and a healthy dose of nature. NAMASTE, ~T |
