Two things you should say to your cells every day
I love you. Love is a powerful force that is divine
fuel for the cells. When you resonate at the frequency of love, you
stimulate cell repair and regeneration. Give your cells a jolt of energy
to carry out their tasks. And trust that they know how to do it
perfectly. With these three little words, you’re acknowledging their
consciousness and innate intelligence. If each little cell contains a
spark of divine power, then together they are the life force that you
feel humming through your body. When you tell your cells, “I love
you,” you are speaking to your body but you are also speaking to your
Spirit and Source. Your love will be reciprocated. It may feel strange
to you at first, but the more you practice loving what you’re comprised
of, the more natural it will become. Then you will start feeling the
unbelievable change of your body, mind, and spirit. All because you
decided to love yourself.
Do your perfect work. I already said your cells are
your biggest supporters, right? When you’re holding onto a negative
thought, emotion, or experience, your cells will store it for you. They
will carry your cross! You’ve thought or spoken something so many times
that the cells have taken it as direction. Connect with cells and let
them know that it is okay to let go of what is no longer serving you.
Free your cells and yourself of limiting beliefs so that they can get
back to their real and healthy work. Give them permission to operate by
their divine blueprint. Say:
“I release all cells from the past energy of failure. I give
you back your right to perform as you were originally designed. Do your
perfect work.”
Many of us have come from the brokenness. And its ok to give this brokenness heart to our Father's heart... We can ask him to help heal this broken vessel... He has chosen us as his beloved.. A constant reminder to us, even though we may feel broken... We can heal... I love Kathy Hope and Angel..... She has taught me so much in the little bit of time I have had with her.. She has taught us to be real with each other, a place where we can hold each other up, and her presence is peaceful... Be transparent with our brokenness.. Be truthful of the truth of who we are in Christ... Our brokenness can allow us to reach out to others, we can share and help build a stronger world.. Remove all the pain.. There is a better way.. Freedom can be found within it... Peace and bounteousness will engulf our very being... Julie...

We are growing and changing daily and that is healing...

Everything that is happening now, was created because people believed
this is the way things should be and or they say, I need to do this or
that.
Everything is being created by individuals and the collective of spirits which is all of you.
You will make the biggest change in the world and others by a ripple
like effect, but in order to start this you will change to a point most
people will ask you what happened to you. Not in bad way. They will be surprised by the new you!
Work on being the light in your and everyone else's life and then you will see beautiful changes mind body and spirit. Kathy Hope
Return to the Inner Flow and Freedom of “Unconditional Friendliness”
Have you ever found yourself thinking your way into a tangle of fret,
frustration, or gloom? And then something small—a few kind words, the
sun glancing through the Making Friends with Your Mind,
that’s what Pema Chödrön helps us to do, not by chance but with our
full intention: to stop fighting with our thoughts and reopen ourselves
to wonder as naturally as we breathe.
clouds, a warm cup of tea—gave you a welcome
pause from all your inner chatter? With The Buddha saw that the human experience is full of drama: confusion
and conviction, joy and sorrow, success and failure—and that our minds
love to amplify all of it. “We decide somebody or something is a certain
way,” muses Pema Chödrön, “and then that judgment gets frozen and
fixated, long after things change. And things always change, right?”
In these free-spirited sessions, Ani Pema helps you to bring
awareness to those inflexible thoughts and sticking points. Through
meditations, daily practices, and the kind of simple pointers that can
change our lives, you’ll learn that it is entirely possible to return to
the flow and freedom of your experiences—and to find your way each day
closer to a place of unconditional friendliness with yourself and with
those in need.
Why do I forget to be kind to myself. Seems to escape me quit often.
In
my challenging relationships and situations, I now know why its
important to let go of my story and see what’s really happening to me.
I am learning about my own inner comfort and greater kindness toward my body.
I am learning how to lean into my own frustration, sadness, and fear with a spirit of trust and intimacy
I'm learning how to use many other insights and recommendations to befriend the difficult places within myself today.
Through gentle and clear guidance, Coming Closer to Ourselves
shows us how, even in the tumult of life’s uncertainties, we can begin
with a glimmer of curiosity, move closer into our experiences, and
discover a place of welcome and refuge within.
How
strange that the nature of life is change, yet the nature of human
beings is to resist change. And how ironic that the difficult times we
fear might ruin us are the very ones that can break us open and help us
blossom into who we were meant to be. Elizabeth Lesser
"Somewhere, right now, a child is seeing rain for the first time,
steam is rising from every coffee cup clutched in every tired hand, the
wind is knocking the heads of flowers together; you are reading these
words while someone is writing their last. So many things are happening
every second. This world is so grand, maddening and magical, and you
are a miraculous part of it. Your soul is tattooed onto this universe.
So don't you ever think that you don't matter." ~ D. Antoinette Foy
I have discovered that I have become a emotional eater.. I eat and eat and munch and munch non stop. So binge eating and struggling with self-love was my very own destructive path..... I found myself at the lowest time in my life... I think alot of it all
started about 3 years ago when I came down with frozen shoulders.. That took my life into
a very black spiral and a very deep hole... As my rt shoulder started to unthaw after a year and half, I ended up with tinnitus in my rt ear... I knew that I need to wake up and smell the roses... I have been learning every thing from energy, yoga, mediating, learning how to breath right.. I came across Dana, and fell completely in love with her.. She is amazing...
through watching her on videos, I was discovering myself, falling in love with my new yoga practice, and
ultimately myself. I am just a beginner, but I am finding it is full of magic. It's enchanting and
seductive and mysterious. It will leave you with so many gifts if you
are open to receiving them. It can leave you to experience and to foster a
closeness to yourself that is unshakable. I love Yoga. Honor the body you bring to the mat today and every day...
I came across this wonderful interview with Dana, and wanted to share it with you...
Dana Falsetti
Dana Falsetti came to her yoga practice after years of binge eating
and struggling with self-love. She, like much of our society, used to
equate her size with her happiness. Early in college she hit a point
where she was both her heaviest and unhappiest, and she decided to make a
change. After a year of steady weight loss, she realized that while her
body looked different, nothing really changed. She found herself in a
“new” body with all of her old habits, tendencies and insecurities.
That’s when Dana walked into her first yoga class.
Throughout her practice, Dana moved from a place of fear to a place
of love. Love for herself, for the world around her, for her darkest
moments and her lightest. Not only did she meet and surpass limits she
thought were in her body, but she surpassed the same limits in her mind
and heart. Yoga has given her space to know her worth and that’s what
she aims to share with others.
Dana now travels and teaches yoga all over the world. She is known as
a body positive advocate and believes a strong yoga practice is
available to all. Dana has been featured in online and print
publications such as Shape, Mind Body Green, Buzzfeed, Aerie, Plus Model
Magazine, and more.
A Letter From Me
I
came to my yoga practice after years of binge eating, years of
struggling with confidence, years of gaining and losing weight in bouts
of depression and anxiety, and crazed attempts to find a little peace.
I
hit a point in my life sometime early on in college where I was both my
heaviest and my unhappiness at about 300 pounds. I thought the two went
hand in hand, so I started hitting the gym in hopes to make a permanent
change. Significant weight loss and loads of empty compliments later, I
realized that absolutely nothing had changed. My physical body changed,
but my body changes every single day and always will. I was still me, I
brought myself and all of my habits and tendencies and fears with me to
my "new" body.
So I came to yoga as a last resort. I was
unknowingly searching for something, and I think ultimately that thing
was peace. Peace and freedom that eventually came from a place of self
worth. I remember my first class well. I walked in having the largest
body in the room on top of being the beginner, and yoga was hard. I
couldn't hold down dog for 5 breaths, my shoulders were on fire, and all
the while it seemed everybody else was popping up into optional
headstands like it was no big deal. I remember thinking that would never
and could never be me. I thought my body would limit my practice, but
eventually I learned that only my mind sets limits.
Many people think they need to be thin, flexible, or strong to practice yoga. Please, hear me when I say that yoga is for everybody.
Bodies change and evolve every single day, and the physical practice is
simply a manifestation of the internal change. Yoga is a spiritual
practice, one that allows you to be and see yourself. It's a practice of
non-attachment. Your physical body isn't a deciding factor in whether
or not yoga is for you. Your body changes. There's nothing to be
attached to that won't leave you hurting or feeling empty down the road.
Come to yoga to find out how you feel, not judge how you look. We do
enough of that anyway. Give yourself a chance, give yourself the gift of
knowing your worth and it will change your life.
This beginner-friendly series will
prove that you don't have to look a certain way in order to have a rich
and rewarding yoga practice! Included is a 90-day practice calendar that
gives you an easy-to-follow daily schedule to tell you how to use all
18 hours of classes in the best way possible!
This journey will bring self-acceptance into your life both on and
off the mat - no matter your size or age or life experience. Yoga is
meant for everybody, and both of us can tell you that the impact yoga
will have in your life! You will develop strength, flexibility and
confidence in beginner-focused tutorial and flow classes!

body.

their more complex variations.
Quality of life has different meanings to different people...
The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably deal with."Tony Robbins"
The best way of approaching quality of life measurement is to measure the extent to which people's 'happiness requirements' are met - ie those requirements which are a necessary (although not sufficient) condition of anyone's happiness - those 'without which no member of the human race can be happy.'
- McCall, S.: 1975, 'Quality of Life', Social Indicators Research 2, pp 229-248
WHAT IS QOL? QOL may be defined as subjective well-being. Recognising the subjectivity of QOL is a key to understanding this construct. QOL reflects the difference, the gap, between the hopes and expectations of a person and their present experience. Human adaptation is such that life expectations are usually adjusted so as to lie within the realm of what the individual perceives to be possible. This enables people who have difficult life circumstances to maintain a reasonable QOL.
- Janssen Quality-of-life Studies
Quality of Life is tied to perception of 'meaning'. The quest for meaning is central to the human condition, and we are brought in touch with a sense of meaning when we reflect on that which we have created, loved, believed in or left as a legacy.
- Frankl VE. 'Man's search for meaning.' New York: Pocket Books, 1963.
In quality of life research one often distinguishes between the subjective and objective quality of life. Subjective quality of life is about feeling good and being satisfied with things in general. Objective quality of life is about fulfilling the societal and cultural demands for material wealth, social status and physical well-being.

The truth is that even in the information age, information is not enough. if all we needed were ideas and positive thinking, then we all would have had ponies when we were kids and we would all be living our "dream life" now. Action is what unites every great success. Action is what produces results. Knowledge is only potential power until it comes into the hands of someone who knows how to get himself to take effective action. In fact, the literal definition of the word "power" is "the ability to act."
Tony Robbins(1960 )
"Life has no meaning except for the meaning you give it"
It is impossible to list all the rich array of attributes related to the concept of "Quality of Life", but literature has mentioned the following:
