Awareness

Hello this is Yoga Kat.

Living your life doesn’t have to be about making money. Many souls have created lives of teaching, helping others, feeding others, raising awareness of this planet, doing what they love to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They are rewarded in many different ways. There are many ways in which to be compensated: the smile of a child for the first time that you brought hope to, the embrace of someone whose life you have touched, being aware that a community is changing because of your efforts, or knowing that a young man is not going to choose the gang life because of your kind words of encouragement and because you made yourself available to him. Because you chose awareness, and a conscious life, it is possible that you have become a living example to others and that a chain reaction of good and positive is started because of you.
Conscious living changes the vibration of the planet. I will not be afraid just because everyone else is. I choose to see who and what is in front of me and make a conscious decision based on the information that is coming in at that precise moment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Think about it. When you are consciously choosing what you want to consume, who you will spend time with, what you will be entertained by, who you will call evil, how you will react, what you call valuable, what you choose to expose, or let go of, or put away, you are changing the environment directly around you: the people, the consequences, and the vibration. People will notice and respond, and the energy around you will respond. It is exactly like sending a wave through a pool. It will reach all parts of the water with a subtlety or a great force but the wave will be registered energetically. If you keep up the wave, the still pool will become a wave pool. It will no longer be the same pool.
When you choose to live consciously you wake yourself from that deep slumber. You begin to clearly see the orchestrated movements, the resistance, and the illusions all around you. You begin to realize that you are force and that your thoughts and actions can and do direct the energy around you, and will impact immediately around you as well as on a global level.
Remember, if you are pushing waves out, more and more ripples are going to be created and ripple out further and further until the waves are spanning the whole globe and even the universe.

INSPIRATIONAL YOU--A Big Give Moment

Hello this is Yoga Kat

I wanted to call this one Inspirational You. This is based on a true personal experience that I will tell you about in this blog...

If you don't want to read all this click the link for my video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FSCTfi0rW0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is based on Oprah’s new TV show called The Big Give. In the show, contestants are encouraged to give of their time, energy and the show’s money. It’s amazing and inspiring to see how they do in the tasks each week to help total strangers.
Some with astronomical challenges!

After watching the show, I felt inspired to do some of my own Big Giving. So on one particular day. I decided to take some cash and go and find a woman with a child to help her out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I kept my eyes and ears open as to how to be of assistance. The first opportunity that I had was when I saw a family at their car on the side of the road with the hood up. It was fairly obvious that they needed a jump.

So I came over and assisted with my cables. They were grateful and on their way.
In the same block that I had seen the family with car trouble there was another woman in a similar situation. But another person stopped to help jump her car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How interested that two women needed a jump on the same block. But I felt that a chain reaction of assistance was being started and shared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next I was in search of finding a random person to give of my hard earned money. I found a woman with her 15 month old granddaughter in Target’s parking lot. I spoke to her and I felt joy to give her my two bills. I’m not going to tell you how much that was. But for me it was hard earn money.
She couldn’t believe that I was giving her money. She was moved to tears and I was moved to tears as she told me that was the nicest thing that anyone had done for her. I’m just sharing with you what happened. I hope this doesn’t sound like I’m bragging.

I asked that she say a prayer for me, and pay some of it forward. Then I left. I put this out to the universe that I was planting this good vibration into this woman’s life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I returned home. Things started to manifest for me. My list of subscribers to my newsletter went from 6 to 250 people in two days. I started to get e-mails from people asking to receive my newsletter and a Positive thinking poster that I designed. One woman wrote from the Territory of The American Samoa which is in Pago Pago to request my Inspirational poster, and that she wanted to inspire her students with positive thinking.

After giving that woman money,
I thought one day I want to be able give away 1000 dollars randomly!
I want to touch someone’s life in a huge way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I’d like to challenge you to connect with people who may be in need of your time and attention. It doesn’t have to be money. It can be time spent with someone who can’t get out of the house. Or by taking an elderly neighbor grocery shopping. Perhaps you know of a single mother who would enjoy a moment to get away from the pressure of raising her children. Look everyone needs a break sometimes.

I suggest to you that you open yourself
to seeing opportunities like I did to help someone and then put that into focus and let yourself be led throughout the day. You’ll be surprised at the people connection you make and how good both of you will feel.
What talent do you have that may inspire someone?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What can you do right now that can make a huge difference to someone? Or an organization? I’m sure with some thought not only for yourself but for the others around you that you can come up with simple ways to extraordinary ways to touch someone’s heart and life. But in the end your own heart will definitely be bigger too.
