Negative Self Talk

The scale below was created by David Hawkins author of the book, Power vs. Force.
This scale will help you to identify what emotions are connected to your negative self-talk. (You know those thoughts that tell you, “you can’t do that”, ‘your stupid”, “why should you?’ etc. and the hold you back feeling defeated when you try to do otherwise.

Did you feel plugged into high energy frequency or was it much lower?

Rate your self-talk based on this scale.

Energy Scale

Enlightenment…………..700 to 1000
Peace…………………………600
Joy……………………………540
Reason……………………….400
Acceptance ………………….350
Willingness ………………….310
Neutrality ……………………250
Pride …………………………175
Anger ………………………..150
Desire ……………………….125
Fear ………………………….100
Gr ief …………………………..75
Guilt …………………………..30
Shame ………………………..20

When you spend most of your time in the low level energy levels, it is impossible to
attract the good that the Universe has for you.

Most people want to be at least attracting at 500.

Note: Only people like Mother Teresa attract over 700 consistently.

Moving up the vibrational scale results in positive outcomes in your life.

For example, today I am frustrated at work. If I continue to hang on to this frustration
and negative self-talk, I resist the good that the Universe has for me.

Just by letting go of the frustration and negative self-talk, I am attracting what the
Universe has for me…. the good stuff.

Take baby steps. Remember, you are just learning these new skills and it takes time.
Give yourself all the time you need.

If you have had a great deal of trauma, you want to heal from the pain, abuse, addiction,
depression, anger and shame.

Fear is usually at the core for most people who have been through trauma.

When fear is present, the brain does not allow the good energy to manifest. Once these issues
are addressed, life takes on new meaning and purpose!

You do not have to wait until you are totally healed to experience a shift in energy.

It happens quicker than most people think.

This week, when you catch yourself getting caught up in negative self-talk, stop and
tell yourself one thing positive about yourself.

Then, ask the Universe to forgive you for rejecting yourself.

This alone will change your energy! 

Action is Magic, Do the work and the changes happen.   Love Deb

What is Addiction

Addiction is merely a mislead and ineffective way to escape the mind.  

Our mind reminds us of all the negative thoughts that cause pain that we learned from life.  The mind then has us run to pleasure to soothe the pain…. pleasure at all costs.   It gets us on this pain pleasure ferris wheel called duality and it wants our complete attention all the time until we are held hostage and can’t get off!

Which is why meditation is so important.  It brings us into oneness.  No pain pleasure duality.  The mind quiets.

We need to learn to separate ourselves from our mind and meditation gives us that necessary practice.

When we’re seperated from our mind we can look at our thoughts and really see if what we think is true or not.

Einstein said “to solve a problem you have to move to a higher energetic frequency.” 

So when we surrender attachment to mind and  give that attachment instead to spirit you change your energetic frequencies to a higher vibrations.

When we attach to spirit, we move to our higher self,  then we not only see, but we know truth and can find clarity, ease and peace.

Attach to spirit, detach from the vagaries of mind, find freedom and salvation and realize that addiction was merely a mislead way of escaping mind.

Family Visit

 Written as an example of  how self limiting unconscious blocks are formed.

Wow, my brother and his 19 yr old daughter came to visit and stay at our place in NYC.   As an actor in his younger days and a very busy much sought after acting coach, living in Canada, he’s had a lot of success.  He’s raised three beautiful daughters, and is now putting them through college and being recently divorced he’s now putting his ex-wife through college while supporting her and paying for all their homes. 

He’s a yr and a half younger than me, and the gap in our levels of success is astounding.  I actually kind of chose to not have kids, because I felt it would have been way to overwhelming financially and emotionally (given my upbringing).  Why is his abundance mentality so different than mine?

His 19 yr old daughter took wonderful care of herself and he took wonderful care of her.  They shopped, dined out, went to Broadway shows while I opted to ‘stay home and get work done’ …actually to not spend all that money.  It eventually started to wear on me so much so that it started to trigger me into feeling bad and I had to really take a hard look at where my sense of lack came from. 

And then it came.  When I was 6yrs old, in grade 1 after school one day a new dime store opened up around the corner from where I went to school.  It was a Grand Opening and it was very exciting.  Their front doors were wide open it was spring and the mood was celebratory. 

I was by myself, which was unusual, so when I passed the store, I was completely mesmerized and walked in.  All these wonderful things to buy and I had no money.  I wanted everything, especially money, so I could buy it all! 

Then I came across this bin of balloons, all colors and shapes and sizes, Wow! So I looked around, there were no signs saying the price on the balloons, and there were no sales people around.  There were balloons blown up all over the store, so I decided the balloons must be gifts for all the new customers.  So I picked out a select handful, looked around again for a sales person, nobody showed up so I walked out of the store with balloons in hand thrilled that I got my free balloons.  I skipped all the way home I was so excited!

When I got home I showed them to everyone, blew them up and tied them around my youngest brother Joey’s high chair.  He was delighted, I was and everything was great.  Until Dad came home, and he asked where I got the balloons, I told him what had happened and he was very angry.  He told my mother to turn on the front burner on the stove and he placed a chair in front of the stove and told me to climb up.  When it was red hot he held my hands over the red hot burner.  I don’t remember anything after that except the next day being at school with sore hands. 

I had learned my lesson about wanting anything and I quicly learned to never want anything which also meant ask for anything.  So it was in that moment that I chose to never want and I lived a humble modest life since then.  Never ever asking for what I wanted.

Having this insight allows me to now release the unconscious block that has all my life told me its not ok to want or ask for anything.   Gratitude to my brother and neice for being my messengers to this insight.   Please contact me to get a free meditation to help you release your blocks (it takes 30 days of continuous practice and genuinely works).  Shanti  Deb

The Longevity Solution

Through your session I will gradually weave a few breathing techniques into the asana practice.  As you may or may not know lengthening the breath lengthens the fullness of each moment.  It slows time and deepens consciousness and brings us to a place of deeper presence, awareness and heightened senses.  It also completely soothes the neural system creating a deeper state of relaxation.  The deeper the relaxation state (alpha and theta waves) the deeper we can tap into our subtle body to the intuitive all knowing self.  Once there we are more receptive to the profound resources of universal wisdom. 

Physiologically we change our PH level from a corrosive acid state to a healthier, longevity friendy alkaline state. 

The Longevity Solution focuses on these specific pranayama techniques: Apa Japa, Ujayi, Krama, Padadirsasana, Nadi Shodhana, Kaphalabhati,,Villoma, and in varied classes , Sitali/Sitkari, Murcha, Brahmri, Surya Bhedana, Chandra Bhedana, Bastrika and application of Mula, Uddyana, Jalanhara Bandha.

Beyond all of those benefits we also stretch out time by experiencing deeper.

If the philosophy that we are each allowed only so many breaths per lifetime is true bringing consciousness to each breath in its stretch ushers in a fuller lengthier experience.  As we practice and become more proficient the breathing becomes second nature and we take our yoga off the mat into life with heightened presence and authentic being. 

The class will be challenging with holding and flowing asana and core…as an ex-personal trainer I know how to find challenge but with an emphasis on the ease in the effort in order to balance sun and moon energies.
The Longevity Solution Yoga: stretch your breath,  your body,  your mind,  your consciousness, your life span and enhance quality of life moment by moment into the beyond.  Please feel free to contact me, ask questions, make suggestions deb@vitalsignsfitness.com
