Lesson 107: VIDEO - How Fluid Can You Be?

http://www.martapr.com/svenotten-justsomemotion Hi, my name is Sven Otten, also known as JustSomeMotion. At the moment this channel is all about dancing. Over the years I learned many different styles to combine them to my own. After a long time without you guys, I'm glad to say that I'm coming back.

The lesson today is about watching the video and noting how it makes you feel. The idea is that the guy dances effortlessly and his body movements are fluid. This is to be “symbolic and energetic”. As he moves with ease, it’s here to teach us that we can be this fluid too, when it comes to our clearing activities. So the question is “How fluid do you want to be?”.

I think I could be a lot more fluid than I am. I think I am becoming more open and easy going, thought processes are being managed also. What I am not fluid in, is the physical excess and clearing efforts towards these. It’s a lot of stop and start but I don’t feel I’m fluid enough. I think time management is where I fail, though as I am typing this, I realised I should place calendar reminders in my phone and ensure that I dedicate even a minute a day at the same time of day to conquer this lack of fluidity. When watching the video, it was seamless – one movement that continues onto the next without thought. It would be nice to be this way and it’s definitely something to work towards.

What do you think of the video and how did it make you feel?

Lesson 107: Sit Amongst the Trees...

The lesson is to just “sit amongst the trees” and if you can’t do that, see if you can be near the water, the sky or ocean – just anything within nature. Allow yourself to take a moment and really absorb and notice the feelings or clarity you receive. Do you notice your vibration change? Be open to this gift.

For me I live in a concrete jungle but there is a small grassed area across the way. Sometimes I lay out there with a friend and just look up at the sky. Whenever I do this, I feel so elevated. It’s peaceful, it’s calming and makes me feel good about myself. It’s nice to breathe in the air and really just soak it all in. I think when we do take these moments for ourselves, it’s nice to slow it down and not be part of our frantic routine. It’s very still. I always know that it’s going to be okay whenever I stop to take a moment. I feel really good in nature and feel like it really boosts me with energy.

What feelings or thoughts do you get when you have tried this?

Day 106 - A Year to Clear - What Does Spaciousness Feel Like?

Lesson 106: What Does Spaciousness Feel Like?

This week we are introduced to a new theme of “Letting Go, Letting Flow”. From this theme, I get the indication that there is some release to come and allowing the natural flow of energy to come through. Today’s lesson is about spaciousness and how it is a state of being rather you making it happen.

Today we are to describe spaciousness and what it feels like to you. For me, I think it’s like freedom, a clear space that is mine and I’m flowing through it. It’s also about being more open for me. Really embracing all that there is. The freedom to make choices of what suits you and what doesn’t work for you. It also is about the ability to grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I think we can be expanding and forever growing which is part of being spacious.

Lesson 106: One Way to Find Compassion For Yourself...

This is probably one of the lessons that I really feel connected to. Today is about finding compassion for yourself when you haven’t been able to before. The one way you can achieve this is to go into nature because regardless of your faults and woes, nature is non-judgemental and accepts you as you are. Nature loves you and can heal you and you don’t have to view yourself as worthy or not, it will do it for you. Today we are to write about nature and if it willing to hold energy for us, what does it say about yourself.

To me, I always feel refreshed in nature, like something is stripping away every problem off your shoulders and creating a lighter version of yourself. No worries exist in nature – it’s just you and nature connecting and reaching a calm, peaceful state. If nature is there to heal, regardless of your past, it tells me that being open towards everyone and anything is possible. That if you hold no judgement for yourself and others, then compassion can occur. Nature exerts a state we all wish to be – free, serene, tranquil, composed, comforting. But why can’t we just apply this to ourselves always? There is nothing to suggest why we can’t get to this state, and that means we can hold compassion for ourselves. Think of nature and just be…

Day 105 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Some Days You Feel Good

Lesson 105: Some Days You Feel Good...

We all have good and bad days. That goes without saying. We have the capability to raise our vibration in those moments when we can really get low. This can be done by using your breath. When people say take some deep breaths, it really has the power to increase our vibration. I think we really take for granted just how much power that has for us.

Today’s exercise is to hold your intentions with each breath. In through the nose with one deep breath, hold it, then release through the mouth. Do this as many times as you like. Think of something you want to achieve today and breathe that in with good intention. With each breath out, release any negative thought that you may have towards yourself and your intentions. I prefer to close my eyes when I do this, because as I open my eyes, I feel so refreshed.

I decided to release any negative thoughts involved with work and I want to move on from it. Some bullshit is going down and I have to remember that because I cannot control it, I shouldn’t let my anger to the situation get the best of me. I got to keep focusing on myself and realise if it’s not for me, to look for another job. It will work out. Breathing helps to calm me down and I feel lighter. That’s a good way to be.

How did you go?
