The universe operates through dynamic exchange . . . giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.

I will put the Law of Giving into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Wherever I go, and whomever I encounter, I will bring them a gift. The gift may be a compliment, a flower, or a prayer. Today, I will give something to everyone I come into contact with, and so I will begin the process of circulating joy, wealth and affluence in my life and in the lives of others.

2. Today I will gratefully receive all the gifts that life has to offer me. I will receive the gifts of nature: sunlight and the sound of birds singing, or spring showers or the first snow of winter. I will also be open to receiving from others, whether it be in the form of a material gift, money, a compliment or a prayer.

3. I will make a commitment to keep wealth circulating in my life by giving and receiving life’s most precious gifts: the gifts of caring, affection, appreciation and love. Each time I meet someone, I will silently wish them happiness, joy and laughter.

The Law of Pure Potentiality

I will put the Law of Pure Potentiality into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. I will get in touch with the field of pure potentiality by taking time each day to be silent, to just Be. I will also sit alone in silent meditation at least twice a day for approximately thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the evening.

2. I will take time each day to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. I will sit silently and watch a sunset, or listen to the sound of the ocean or a stream, or simply smell the scent of a flower. In the ecstasy of my own silence, and by communing with nature, I will enjoy the life throb of ages, the field of pure potentiality and unbounded creativity.

3. I will practice non-judgment. I will begin my day with the statement, “Today, I shall judge nothing that occurs,” and throughout the day I will remind myself not to judge.

Come to Montgomery Village Store on March 15th to attend Dr. David Simon’s Free to Love, Free to Heal lecture and book signing!

Everyone has a purpose in life . . . a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.

I will put the Law of Dharma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will lovingly nurture the god or goddess in embryo that lies deep within my soul. I will pay attention to the spirit within me that animates both my body and my mind. I will awaken myself to this deep stillness within my heart. I will carry the consciousness of timeless, eternal Being in the midst of time-bound experience.

2. I will make a list of my unique talents. Then I will list all the things that I love to do while expressing my unique talents. When I express my unique talents and use them in the service of humanity, I lose track of time and create abundance in my life as well as in the lives of others.

3. I will ask myself daily, “How can I serve?” and “How can I help?” The answers to these questions will allow me to help and serve my fellow human beings with love.

Why do we do savasana (relaxation pose) at the end of each yoga class? Also, during savasana, should I be meditating or using my Primordial Sound mantra?

Answer:

An essential part of every yoga practice, savasana is not only a time to relax and let go of tension in the body, it is also a time to let go of tension in the mind. It calms the brain, cleanses the senses, and helps relieve stress. In addition, this relaxation pose rejuvenates the body, reduces headache, insomnia, and fatigue and can help lower blood pressure.

There are many different “styles” of savasana. Some teachers will lead students through a guided meditation, others will play calming music, and others will allow the class to relax in silence. This is not the time to repeat your Primordial Sound mantra, but rather to relax into your body and allow the benefits of your practice to be integrated into your body/mind/spirit experience.

We recommend that students bring their total awareness inside their bodies and enjoy the sensations which they have generated by consciously moving the life force through them. Savasana is also an ideal time to bring the Spiritual Law of the Day into your awareness and to set your intentions. The state of expanded consciousness you access through your yoga practice will support you in the spontaneous fulfillment of your deepest desires.

The Law of Detachment

I will put the Law of Detachment into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

1. Today I will commit myself to detachment. I will allow myself and those around me the freedom to be as they are. I will not rigidly impose my idea of how things should be. I will not force solutions on problems, thereby creating new problems. I will participate in everything with detached involvement.

2. Today I will factor in uncertainty as an essential ingredient of my experience. In my willingness to accept uncertainty, solutions will spontaneously emerge out of the problem, out of the confusion, order and chaos. The more uncertain things seem to be, the more secure I will feel, because uncertainty is my path to freedom. Through the wisdom of uncertainty, I will find my security.

3. I will step into the field of all possibilities and anticipate the excitement that can occur when I remain open to an infinity of choices. When I step into the field of all possibilities, I will experience all the fun, adventure, magic and mystery of life.

In the state of restful awareness experienced in meditation, your affirmation or intention will manifest with effortless ease. We therefore recommend that you use affirmations in conjunction with a regular meditation practice.

1. Everything that has brought me to this moment in time and space has occurred. I recognize, embrace, and connect with the web of synchronistic events that has brought me to the here and now.
2. All interwoven events that have brought me to this moment have occurred and are now in the past. I permit myself to relax, release, and allow my life to unfold with grace, freedom, and love.
3. allow complete healing to occur in those places of my body, heart, mind, and soul that have been holding resistance, resentment, regret, fear, or pain.
4. I apologize to anyone and everyone I have hurt as a result of my constricted awareness, resistance, or fear. I wish them unconditional love, healing, happiness, and peace.
5. I forgive anyone with whom I associate my pain, anyone who has caused me sorrow or anguish (including myself), and wish them unconditional love, healing, happiness, and peace.
6. I, like everyone, deserve a life abundant in unconditional love, healing, happiness, and peace.
7. I commit to a life abundant in unconditional love, healing, happiness, and peace.
