Chakra 3 could not have come at a better time! It's all about setting an intention and exercising your will to accomplish it! January is over and as many of you know, this is the time when people may find that their initial goal for the new year was not so realistic.
So how is your first chakra doing? I really love receiving updates from some of you and I am so happy this work is helping you! I want you to know that I am right there with you doing my exercises and answering my journal questions.
It's that time of year when gyms and yoga studios are packed with New Years resolutioners who vow that this will be the year to lose 10 pounds. Maybe you are in great shape, but you want to make solid attempt at getting more organized or being on time. Whatever you have or have not decided, I'd like to offer that instead of thinking big, you go easy on yourself this year and do some small things that will actually stick.

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday! As we get closer to the New Year, It is common to think of what we want to change. Change can be big or small, but it is easier to make change become a permanent part of our lives if we are realistic in what we can handle.
That is quite possibly my husband's favorite holiday song and boy does it hold true for the weather that has been keeping us outside as little as possible this past week! When I stepped out of my apartment this morning, I almost got taken out by the wind!
Have you ever worked very diligently on something and seen the results in more places than the main goal? Take for instance changing the way you eat in order to lose weight. You have a goal to wear a smaller size. Along the way to that goal, you notice that not only are you looking better, but you are also feeling better too! I had a similar experience to the work I have been doing and it's simply amazing!
While riding the subway the other day on yet another delayed train, my attention was drawn to the feet of the woman standing in front of me. Her toes were white from gripping the floor. At first, I thought it was because she was in heels, but when I looked at the toes of her friend in flats and saw that they were also white, I knew that it wasn't from the shoes.
I decided to join Deepak Chopra's 21 Day Meditation Challenge after my acupuncturist suggested that it would be a nice way to ease into meditation. I have recently had lots of conversations with friends about this subject, and their responses were the same as mine at first.
