My Meditation & Yoga Journey

I started my meditation journey in June 2013, I had a lot on my plate and didn't know where to start. I had been in a very stressful relationship, my dad was sick and there was so much being demanded from me each and every day. I was on my weight loss journey and trying to find myself again when i discovered yoga. At first I had it in my mind that I needed to be skinny or flexible to be in yoga, but I was so wrong. My first class was hot Vinyasa and I swear I thought I was the only one sweating and feeling overweight. I wanted more out of my life and even though I was out of breath and sweating, I felt great. So I decided to go back again and again, but if your life is as full as mine was you don't have time to fully to commit to a yoga studio full time. I started to practice at home and watch online videos to improve my poses, but I couldn't fully focus my mind with so much stress.

I have dealt with years of panic attacks and anxiety due to all my stress from worrying about family, friends, loved ones and work. So to fully get control of my emotional and mental state, I decided to get more into meditation. We briefly went over a couple of mediation poses in yoga class but I needed more to stabilize my mind. Before this year I never went to a meditation class to learn to meditate. I am a hands on learner not to mention I didn't have time to go or the money to spend. But after years of practice and opening my mind to my flaws and better ways to deal with my past issues, I have mastered Nirvana. I fully got back my peace in 2016

and there is nothing like getting back your peace.

I was so afraid of facing my past, but what we have to realize is that we are all human and our past does not determine our future. What it does is help us learn from our mistakes to help shape our future. Smile you are perfectly imperfect....... Love who you see in the mirror and I am here to help you on this beautiful journey called "Getting back my life"
