    I want to acknowledge that sometimes, listening to me doesn’t make you popular.

    Once the whispers of my voice become rebel yells, it becomes impossible to ignore me, and you’ll find that, at some point, you simply won’t be able to silence me anymore.

    This is good news. Be very, very reassured by this. This is the time when magical unfoldings blossom.

    But it’s also the time some people in your life get royally pissed because you’re following your inner voice and not listening to theirs.

    Don’t worry. They’ll come around. And if they don’t, they’re not meant to be guiding forces in your life. Just keep your heart open. Forgive readily.

    And never, ever stop listening to me.

    Always trustworthy,

    Your Inner Pilot Light

    Why do you sometimes feel afraid to experience your emotions fully? What do you fear might happen?

    Let me give you one key bit of reassurance, darling. Whatever happens when you lean into the full range of your emotional experience, you can handle it.

    Will you break down and cry at work?
    Will you feel embarrassed?
    Will you lose your temper and throw something? Will you drown in the depths of your sorrow?
    Will you feel such profound joy that you’ll fear losing that sense of elation?

    You can handle it.

    When you tap into me, you connect to a reservoir of strength and resiliency you may not even realize you have within you. No matter what happens, darling - together, we can handle it.

    So go ahead - feel what you feel. Lean into the richness of your full experience, and you’ll discover something you may not have realized.

    Only when you fully experience the breadth of your emotions can you feel truly ALIVE. Let’s LIVE, baby.

    Wheeeee!

    It’s so easy to get caught up ruminating about the past or planning the future that we forget to relish the present moment. But this moment - yes, this one right here - is the only moment that isn’t either a bygone memory or a figment of your imagination.

    When you’re so busy looking backwards or looking forwards, you forget that radical aliveness exists only NOW.

    Be here with me,

    Your Inner Pilot Light

    I know others have led you to believe that it’s selfish or narcissistic to fill yourself first. But I’m here to tell you that the only way you can truly serve others is to show up in service from a place of overflowing abundance, which requires meeting your own needs first. (Remember what they say about those airplane oxygen masks!)

    When you try to serve others from a place of depletion, it’s easy to become exhausted, sick, even resentful or angry. But when you give from a place of abundance, after nurturing yourself first, you become a fountain of blessings, spilling over into everything and everyone you touch.

    So please, sweetheart, come to me. Let me fill you.

    Like a waterfall,

    Your Inner Pilot Light

    You are infinitely loved. You don’t have to do anything to earn this love. It’s a gift from the divine, and it’s yours no matter what you do.

    You can’t separate from this love.
    You can’t disappoint.
    You can’t fail.
    You can’t lose your right to this love.
    You are always deserving.

    And this love is unconditional. All you have to do is receive it.

    Are you ready?

    With open arms,

    Your Inner Pilot Light

    Losing my Way…Yet Again!

    It feels like I’ve been going through my quarter life crisis for about ten plus years now…

    Everyday sitting on Craigslist, hoping to find, at this point, a job that will just allow me to make some money so that I can maybe see a movie or go out for coffee when I’d like.

    At twenty four years old, (almost twenty five, yikes, the real quarter life!), I’ve yet again found myself living with my parents, jobless, and feeling hopeless about whether or not I will ever find any kind of profession that my suit my mercurial self.

    I have thought I wanted to help others via the therapy route because I’m just so good at listening and everyone says that they feel like they can be their true self around me.

    I have wanted to be an actress/singer/model/director/writer and spent lots of money trying to do all those…unsuccessfully.

    I have wanted to be a chef/restaurant owner/speakeasy owner, and then changed my mind, again.

    I have spent many a years babysitting up a storm, but honestly, I don’t really want to watch another kid in my life unless it is my own!

    And let’s face it, I’m not the type that can work the normal 9-5, sit in an office all day, wear a lady suit, or do things for other people…

    But, the thing is, I have been spending (wasting?) my time trying to do the socially acceptable thing, when in reality, what I really have to do is listen to my heart!

    Listen to the real me… the one who says to me everyday, “Keyra, you can do ANYTHING you want. You can have your own business. You can wake up everyday and be happy. You can create your own future. You are strong and powerful!”

    And then, last night, something clicked.

    I’ve been waiting for that moment (some may call it the, “Aha moment”), which I’ve had very few of in life, where everything stops, you are directly in the moment, your heart is filled with love, and you just feel right. 

    And that happened last night!

    Having been pleading to the universe for what seems like a lifetime to show me what my calling is, the universe finally opened up and answered, (or maybe I was just ready to listen).

    Anyways, after having a wonderful yoga/meditation/discussion session with some friends and family, I found that my calling is centered around teaching yoga and helping others open their heart/come to realizations about their own truth.

    Elation abounds!!!!!

    I just felt right. I felt good. I felt like I was helping others and didn’t need anything in return. 

    It just happened.

    And, damn, did it feel good!

    Now, the question remains, how to follow this with focus (one-pointedness)?

    Is this where my yoga training comes into effect? The notion of complete devotion, one-pointedness, patience, and the like? 

    And, as someone who has a very, kinda, not open root chakra (meaning I have money issues), how do I go about this whole entrepreneur route? 

    Asking myself all these questions… this email then popped up from Positively Positive in my inbox this morning, Confessions of a Highly Sensitive Entrepreneur , by the lovely new fave of mine, Selena Soo.

    And I feel like the universe, yet again, is giving me building blocks to grow into the wonderfully beautiful young lady that I already am and am on the journey of finding once again!

    How wonderful!

    Now if I can just remember to stop getting caught up in the doing, and get more caught up in the being… :)

    What You Ask, You Shall Receive!

    Ever do something, knowing inherently that it’s wrong?

    Yeah, well, I’ve been doing a lot of that lately! 

    Like say, being bored, but going out with someone to fill the time AND because they will pay for things for you…

    Money has not been a strong point of mine these last few months.

    As well as not being able to get a job.

    Or keep a job.

    Or keep any money… because I’m bored… so what else am I supposed to do???!!!

    It really has become a vicious, vicious, circle.

    And I’m still bored.

    And with a little less money everytime.

    Especially since it seems my lying ways have just recently walked me into a lovely parking ticket!

    That’s when I knew the universe was saying to me…

    “Hey, lady! Listen up! You’re not valuing yourself or others! YOU are worth it! So stop using someone else to show you your worth and value… and hey, just to stick it to you, here’s a parking ticket…”

    Needless to say, I didn’t react the way I should’ve after receiving this ticket.

    But we needen’t get into that!

    These last few months have been quite the rollercoaster, to say the least.

    And, it has been said that you will repeat a lesson over and over again until it’s learned.

    Lemme just tell ya, that is a fact!

    Because it seems I am repeating things a lot and a lot more frequently.

    Whether it is my money issues, the way I undervalue myself and put myself down, how I give too much of myself to others and too easily, how I am in love with the notion of love and put everything before that, how I eat or drink away my emotions, how I look at everything from a negative perspective rather than a positive…

    It all comes back to how I see and value myself.

    And, from what I have both heard and most recently learned, what you put out into the universe is what you shall receive. 

    For instance, if you worry that you are going to become fat from having infrequent cookie binges… you probably will have more frequent cookie binges from worrying about getting fat from your infrequent cookie binges, thus leading to the impending doom of weight gain.

    Kinda like, what you ask for, you shall receive!!!

    Yeah, the universe is powerful like that!

    So, for my future days, it’s all about learning lessons that I have been avoiding and facing things and/or people/feelings that I have been avoiding.

    It’s about committing myself more to my practices of yoga and mediation and being okay with sitting with my powerful and not so scary emotions.

    It’s about seeing myself for the wonderful person I am who makes A LOT of mistakes, but who always learns and grows from them… eventually!

    It’s about instilling a more positive attitude and thought pattern, seeing that the world is a lovely place and not something to dread whenever I wake up.

    And, as always my Love Rebel’s, it’s about love!!!!!!!!

    Merry Christmas, baby, from MyEmoHeart xoxo

    The Humanity of Being a Yogi

    I always thought that being a good yoga instructor meant you had to be “pure”.

    What do I mean by pure?

    Free from alcohol.

    Abstaining from sex.

    Vegan.

    Eating organic.

    Never eating junk food.

    Supremely health conscious.

    Always happy.

    Never depressed.

    Never having outbursts.

    Never speaking poorly of others or swearing.

    Never partying.

    Never making a mistake.

    But the truth is that I am young.

    And, I do enjoy wine and going out with friends.

    Sometimes I like to get tipsy.

    Sometimes I like to get drunk.

    I am only human.

    I will get angry and be mean to people sometimes.

    I do fall into deep depressions at times.

    I feel lonely, sad, frustrated… I am only human!

    I swear.

    I judge.

    I like to eat too much sometimes, especially sweets.

    The fact is, I went down the being over conscious of what I was putting in my body route… and that resulted in anorexia.

    I went the trying to be a “saint” route and found that I encountered anger issues, having sudden outbursts toward myself and others.

    I tried abstaining from junk food… only to overeat.

    I tired abstaining from alcohol… only to drink more and party harder…

    Yoga teaches us not to deprive ourselves of the joyful wonders on this earth.

    No!!

    Yoga teaches us awareness of our bodies, minds, and souls.

    It teaches us the power of intention.

    It teaches us BALANCE!

    It teaches us to love ourselves just the way we are.

    It teaches us faith and compassion.

    Yoga teaches us to be here in this present moment and to revel in the abundance that is here all around us.

    It teaches us to see things from others’ perspectives.

    It teaches us to not be afraid to feel our emotions.

    It teaches us to love, not fear.

    It teaches us that being human is divine.

    The greatest teachers are those who experience life!

    All I can do is grow, each day using the power of introspection to gain awareness and insight of myself, others, and the universe.

    This is all we ALL can do.

    And this is all that we have to do.

    Enjoy.

    Don’t worry about being perfect.

    Just be human.

    Let yourself learn and grow.

    Xoxo always from MyEmoHeart
