      Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

      Evolve defined: To develop gradually. Is that your yoga practice? Yes. Especially Hot Yoga. You don't usually come in the first day ready to make love to hot yoga. Hot Yoga evolves and shifts the more you practice. So you evolve in yoga - but are you evolving personally, spiritually, meditatively speaking? (Oh oh, she's getting deep again - watch out.)

      Did you know that we are always changing and evolving, every day without even trying? Our cells in our body are always shifting and moving around and transforming. In reality, we are different every moment.

      The only thing that keeps us stuck and in a personal prison is our mind, our ego and our thoughts.

      There is a truly brilliant man named Stephen Hawking who once told his Mother that she doesn't know him, because he is not the same as he was yesterday.

      Turning things around and changing who you are as part of a personal evolution in the right direction is a part of your journey.

      So what is the "right" direction?

      The way of unconditional love. acceptance, non judgement, gentleness, forgiveness and peace every moment in your mind and externally.

      (Yowsa - what a tall order, hey??)

      It's true.

      So just say that there is someone you do not connect with. Someone that rubs you the wrong way. A yoga teacher for example.

      You have one or two "bad" experiences and decide to write this person off, and never take their yoga class again.

      O.k. - BUT what if this teacher is constantly evolving, and shifting things around, becoming different, and moving in a new direction?

      What if the experience you have with this person could now possibly be the best experience of your life?

      Are you open enough to remove the filters and doors that are closed in you to try again?

      Stephen Hawking also said...

      “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”

      So if we are always changing, wouldn't the intelligent thing be to always approach every person and every situation as if it was for the first time?

      Able to have the clean slate and open mind and heart to every experience?

      You would think so, right?

      Well, it depends on your choice to evolve, or not.

      So, will you evolve personally, or remain stuck and trapped in the prison of your mind forever?

      What would happen if we all woke up and evolved?

      The change starts with you.

      Peace
      Andrea

      p.s. - The people that need to read this the most didn't get past the first line of this blog.

      p.p.s. -
      The people who are evolving personally every moment already know this to be true. (Love you!)
