Look back & connect your dots

I joined forces with the gorgeous Stella Chambers from Shiny Yoga on Sunday to present our ‘Manifest like a MoFo’ workshop. It was nothing short of magic. The presence of our crew, the openness, the attention – it was special.

I often have to pinch myself. Here I am, able to stand in front of 26 people – thank you Kinesiology for sorting out my public speaking blocks – to talk about all this cool kooky energy stuff, to people who actually want to hear it – I’m sure my friends and family breathe a sigh of relief that I’ve found an outlet for it.

But one thing I love the most, is that while I’m doing the ‘teaching’, I’m the one who ends up learning, being reminded, being inspired.

Stella mentioned, while at a yoga retreat run by Baron Baptiste he asked them to check in and take stock of all the the things, moments, occurrences that had allowed them to get to the retreat. All the ‘co-incidences’, synchronicities, and interventions from the Universe.

All the things that aligned, effortlessly, gracefully, as if by magic.

Things like babysitters coming through at the last minute, bonuses being paid, travellers wanting to air bnb the flat while away at the retreat, perfect flight times… etc.

These things happen – ALL THE TIME – when we take a step back to notice.

Where is it that you can give thanks for all the dots which have helped you get to your current point? All the things that have aligned, in perfect timing to bring you to exactly where you are?

I know for me that doing really bad corporate presentations forced me to sort out my fear of public speaking – that was a perfect little dot. And ‘that guy’ who was so bad for me, that saw me hit rock bottom and kicked off my yoga journey – was also a perfect little dot. That when the ah ha moment came through like a lightning bolt forcing me to sit up half way through shivasana, that came bearing the news ‘you need to study kinesiology’ – was perfect massive dot. And that the course commencing just a week after – was also a perfect divine dot.

So running into Stella at the top of the stairs at a Conscious Club event last month, chatting away, inspiration striking as we said ‘we should a run a workshop together’ was life much greater than us conspiring, aligning and intervening on our behalf.

Yep, synchronicity to boot.

Goddam I love life.

Take a moment now, to check in, take stock and give thanks for all the dots which have aligned to get you exactly where you are right now.
