One Simple Way to Say I Love You Without Saying I Love You

One Simple Way to Say I Love You Without Saying I Love You

Let me ask you - 

Is there someone in your life that for some reason or another, you have difficulty saying "I love you" to them? And you want to. But the words just refuse to come out of your lips. 

The situation has gone unchecked and the unhappiness has festered for so long, you just don't know how to change it. If it's possible to change? That it won't change? Actions don't work anymore.

This week I want to share with you my deepest darkest secret. 

I... used to have difficulty saying these 3 words.

I can throw them out with the best of them - to my husband, to my close friends. But the one person, or group of persons that I really want to say it to - were my sisters. 

It won't mean much if I can't even say it or show my love to my flesh and blood.

What has it this got to do with Baptiste Yoga? Well I stumbled upon this gem of a Ted talk video after my Level 1, and that changed my life.  

Not over night. But I see it for the better good today.

And I want to give it back.

So starts my journey into sharing more about Baptiste Yoga and how it has impacted my life. And following up from last weeks on post on 8 Universal Principles of Stepping up to the Edge, taken from Baron Baptiste’s book “Journey into Power.” Every other week, I’ll explore each principle and share my personal insights and quotes from the book. 

In Baptiste Yoga, there are 3 practices - Asana, Meditation and Inquiry. By sharing my story, I am in Inquiry, which is an access to discovery and new possibilities. 

I invite you to be in discovery of what's possible for you by joining me in being Now Here in in your life, practice and teaching one week.

What Is Possible If Your Husband Is Also Your Best Friend

I suspect my husband is a secret wife whisperer. He started saying these 5 words of "You are my best friend" constantly till it has almost an equal power to saying "I love you".  

And I love him more for having me look at our relationship in a new way.  And inspiring me to write this post.

Rediscovering my Human-Self | Baptiste Level Three (2018)

Rediscovering my Human-Self | Baptiste Level Three (2018)

This is not a review of the Baptiste level 3 training. Instead I share with you my learnings, my discoveries, my experiences and my reflections from this yoga life teacher training. Warning: It’s a very long post.

You may or may not ever attend a baptiste yoga class or Baptiste training, but be willing to drop what you know, and just be in pure listening. You never know, you might discover something new about yourself.

My biggest takeway is discovering what my life is for. My life is for empowering my family and my community to live life courageously from the heart. With purpose and kind determination.
