What if you could change it all right now?
What if you could live your dream?
What if you didn’t have to live in hell?
What if everything and nothing was as it seems?
What if you could change it all right now?
What if you could live your dream?
What if you didn’t have to live in hell?
What if everything and nothing was as it seems?

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.

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

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… :)

Forgiving yourself is not about forgetting what you’ve done or failing to learn from your mistakes.
It’s about having compassion for your humanity, knowing that it seemed like a good idea at the time, and trusting that each step you take along the way brings you ever closer into alignment with the truth of who you are - what you value, how you order your priorities, who you love, and why you’re here.Mistakes are crucial to this process of discovering who you are so you can do what you’re here on this earth to do - self-actualize.
So give yourself a hug - and a break, my love.
In my eyes, you’re perfect, warts and all…
Forgiving you,

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
