“Your work is to choose from among all of that which feels best to you, and fixate on it as long as it gives you pleasure and joy. And in doing so, you will align with the Energy of your Source, and you will live a magnificent experience. You just have to not let your joy depend upon what anybody else is living, ‘cause that’ll get you every time.”
-Abraham
“This is always true: What I think and how I feel, and what manifests in my life, is always a vibrational match. But here’s the big kicker: What manifests isn’t manifesting instantaneously. So, you’ve got all this buffer of time leeway that makes you sloppy… If you thought a negative thought and a brick would instantly fall on your head every time, you’d clean up your thinking. But you’re not here to be punished about your thinking. You’re here to use your thinking—and your focus—to create.”
-Abraham
I am.
I will.
I can.
Ever heard of deliberate creation? It’s a fancy way of saying that your thoughts and your words create your reality.
For some people, this is a very empowering and exciting thing to hear. For others, not so much. Read the rest of this entry »
“Children desire freedom! And every particle of their being from their Source says, ‘You are free. You are so free, that every thought you offer, the entire Universe jumps to respond to it.’ And so, to take that kind of knowledge and try to confine it in any way, defies the Laws of the Universe. You must allow your children to be free, because the entire Universe is set up to accommodate that. And anything you do to the contrary will only bring you regret. You cannot contain those that cannot be contained. It defies Law.”
-Abraham
I have a black and white photo hanging in my Prana Power Yoga office in our attic. It’s of my three children and me laughing together.
Everyday as I walk to my Mac to write, respond to 100s of emails, make dozens of decisions, and deal with the everyday-ness of running four Prana Power Yoga studios and opening a raw restaurant, I stop and look at this photo and remember what and who I want to be for my three children
To me, this photograph symbolizes me as the Super-mom I want to be–laughing with my kids. It just doesn’t get better than that.
Yes, there are the details–the coordinating of things too numerous to list; the sign-ups for activities, teams, and camp; the scheduling of play dates, sleep-overs, and car pools. There are the clothes to be bought, organized, washed, folded, put in the basement when grown out of, and given away. There is the overall busy-ness of being a Super-mom in this day and age.
But what I’ve learned, and keep learning, is that just being relaxed, present, and laughing with my kiddos is where it’s at.
And so I hung this photo—an 11×14 at that—to remind myself of this, several times a day.
I always pause as I walk by the photo. I gaze at my kids’ joyful smiles, and I relax. Knowing that very few things in life are emergencies and everything will get done—it always does.
And I set my intention to laugh a lot today. For there is no higher vibration than laughter.

“Child of mine, I will never do for you that which I know you can do for yourself. I will never rob you of an opportunity to show yourself your ability and talent. I will see you at all times as the capable, effective, powerful creator that you’ve come forth to be. And I will stand back as your most avid cheerleading section. But I will not do for you that which you have intended to do for yourself. Anything you need from me, ask. I’m always here to compliment or assist. I am here to encourage your growth, not to justify my experience through you.”
-Abraham

“Parents often think that they are here to guide the little ones. When-in reality-the little ones come forth with clarity to guide you.”
