I'm on a learning path about Enlightenment. Maybe you know some about it already? I understand that for some it can take years to achieve enlightenment. I hope to discover the true inner me and what it is that I desire to do with this one life I've been given. That feeling of a higher purpose maybe. If that even makes sense to those of you who already get it. When I learn more about it myself I'll probably look back and see how this makes no sense at all. Since my knowledge on the subject is little. I just find it very interesting. I know of course I am a mother and a wife and both are two wonderful blessings. But I believe there is even more wonderful things to experience in this lifetime as well.
It's not about our physical being but our spiritual being. My recent purchase is a book by Wayne Dyer. "10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace". Also, "Manifest Your Destiny". I've actually only started it today. I love that we are all one and connected by a higher being.
I've done a little bit of Yoga in the past at our local Yoga Studio. A really great studio with excellent instructors. It's the only one I've ever been to so I have no comparison but other's say it's difficult to find one with the same wonderful qualities. I love going there and really hope to make my way back there again soon.

However, this morning I did a bit of Kundalini Yoga. A few DVD's that I purchased several years back with Ana Brett and Ravi Singh. There was some meditation and chanting included throughout the videos. I got a good workout and found it very relaxing as well. One of the things I liked about these videos is the "Breath of Fire". A breathing technique that oxygenates the blood. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it, it's like a sniff. You inhale with a sniff over and over again. I'm not sure how exactly all of this comes together but it does.
After two videos, I thought I had probably done my days worth. So I set off to run some errands. Then I noticed that I went about the rest of my day cheerful and smiling. I was surprised at my positive attitude. I genuinely smiled at strangers and felt this happiness that I have to admit, I haven't felt that strongly in a long time. Maybe it was the oxygenated blood. Maybe it was the chant. Who knows but I like having that giddy happiness that is something I associate with my childhood. I'm not an expert on the subject by any means. I hope to learn more and will share a bit of what I learn with you as well.
On that day, you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
