What's New

My book is weeks away from being published! Yay! Finally! :) You'll hear all about it when it's finally available for purchase. I am now simply awaiting my very first hard copy proof and then it's good to go!

So fall is literally around the corner, school is in full swing and our routines are getting back "on track". How did everyone do during our Hurricane excursion on the Northeast coastline (in America--I know I have a number of Australians, Canadians and UK folks reading here too!)? I heard someone call this a Hurricane-induced Amish vacation. That is funny!

I was actually pretty lucky. No electricity for five days but my work was in full swing, as most large corporate companies were. So my daugher and I enjoyed dinner and a movie at work the first evening. My son was with his father still since school was cancelled. At night I would ready by flash light my Wayne Dyer book, "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life". I LOVED IT! That book has been sitting on my shelf for years. So now, I've vowed to read (even by flash light if I have to) before going to bed a few pages of that book or a book with equal spirtual quality. It was just what I needed to unplug, in order to PLUG BACK IN to Source. :) We might have had to throw away a weeks worth of groceries but we gained more in connecting with each other, our neighbors and ourselves at a deeper level. Priceless.

I am adding a new yoga class to my schedule very soon! I will be teaching Vinyasa Flow Yoga at the YMCA in North Attleboro every other Sunday from 9:30-10:30, alternating with another superb Yoga Instructor. Check back soon for the start date!

Yoga Pose of the Month
Warrior I
Sanskrit: Virabhadrasana I

Feel the energy surging within your body all the way up your spine and out your arms in this pose. We are powerful beings and in holding this pose we can choose to tap into that power and believe. This pose brings out a force within us that isn't always tapped into. Feel the Warrior within!

Directions on how to come into the pose:
Stretching back in Down Dog inhale. Exhale, and bring your left leg forward in between your hands for runners lunge. Keep your knee in a 90 degree angle, ankle over knee. From Down Dog to runners lunge. Ground your back foot down, angle it flat towards the top corner of your mat. Bring your hands to your thighs as you lift your upper body up. Maintain good foundation in the legs. Take hands to hips for a moment. Keep your hips both facing forward, like to headlights shining in front of you.

Then raise your hands up high on either side of your ears. Reach tall, pull your ribs away from your waist. Keep that knee over your ankle, no jutting out or in. Open the chest. Open your heart. Bring the energy up from your feet, through your legs, your torso, all the way up your spine and through your arms. Inhale, exhale and lower down a little more. Find your edge in this pose.

If you'd like, and if you are familiar with Warrior I, you may take a gentle arch in your spine for a gentle back bend. Look up towards your hands and if you'd like, take a temple mudra here with your hands. Clasping your hands together, with index fingers straight up and pressing together. Breathe deeply. Five deep breaths here.

To come out: Lower arms down to the mat, press both legs back into a plank pose. Both feet out behind you, hips not too high, then press into your hands and through your tailbone into Down Dog. Stretch and breathe here. Keep shoulders back and away from the ears, open up your heart and press your hands into the mat. Elongate the spine. Do the other side!!!

When not to do this pose or to modify/Contraindications:
High blood pressure, Heart problems, those with shoulder problems should keep their raised arms parallel (or slightly wider than parallel) to each other and those with neck problems should keep their head in a neutral position and not look up at the hands.

Inspire You Article
Do You Know What Your Destiny Is?

You are destined for Greatness. Yep. That's right. Each and every one of you are destined for something beautiful and wonderful and totally unique to you. There may be simiarities to another's path, but it is a totally different expression that is coming from you. It's your experience and your expression.

It's time to find the Warrior within. No more procrastination. Because it IS there. Within us all. Always has been. And we can dig down deep and bring it to the surface. If you've ever had to hold a pose, such as Warrior I in Yoga (above description under this month's yoga pose and check me out on the right in Warrior I :)), or been working out with weights or pushing through a cardio routine and you've just about had it. You'll know what I mean. Because there comes a point, maybe it's something the instructor said or maybe you finally realize it's inside of you, but there comes a point where you suddenly get your second-wind, you feel a renewed sense of energy, your focus is intensified and you feel a fire deep inside of you that keeps you holding that pose, repeating those last few reps or pushing through the last of your cardio routine. There's usually a look in your eyes when you feel this. It's an intense focus like nothing you have ever felt before but during these pure moments of potent energy. You've found the warrior within you and nothing can get in your way. When you've finished, there is a euphoria you can't explain and the endorphins are a wonderful rush to boot!

It's this pure intense fire that is within us all. Whatever it is we are meant to do, push through or endure we can find this place inside of us to help us to keep going and feel more utterly connected to Source (God) like never before. It's this intense focus I tap into during energy session, meditations, yoga, and my workouts for sure! It's also an intense focus that comes up when I am doing design work and even writing these newsletters. It's my Source connection coming further to the surface to bring out more of the "Me" that "I" am.

We each have something we are meant to do and Be. It is something that has been within us forever. It is something that comes very naturally to us. Whatever that may be it is within you and you know to your core. It keeps coming and coming to you; it is constant. It is you. It is your divine expression.

And if we can get off the couch, stop listening to those insane excuses our mind repetitively give us and push through knowing an uplifting outcome for all is awaiting us, we will be more ALIVE, more AWAKE and more consciously surviving and THRIVING in life. It's what's inside of us that we are meant to bring out and show to the world. Not what others think we should do or be, not what your ego mind said do it out of fear, but what is our blissful passion, what makes us happy and joyous to live every day. That may not be your full time job, but it has to be something you tap into at least a few minutes every day, whatever that is.

Take a challenge and meditate a few minutes away. Or sit quiet. Imagine that you are doing something you so much love! And if you don't know what that is, imagine the feeling of doing something you love. Just feel the joy, happiness and fulfillment that comes. Be peaceful. Breathe into this. See it, feel it and be it as INTENSELY as you can. You'll start to see signs and synchronicities coming your way to answer your daily moments of clarity. Perhaps your destiny is to spread peace and be that peaceful center. So maybe you are not "doing" something but in fact by BEing peaceful, you are assisting the world with your vibration. We are all assisting the world with our vibration as we reach our potential for greatness and our deep inner Source connection.

And when you do your Warrior I pose in Yoga or get to those moments in your workout where you think you just can't go one more second, or even those moments in life that make you want to just give up, breathe deeply, know you can do it, know it's ALWAYS mental and spiritual as well as physical, and you can decide to find that FIRE within you and let it out! Get your second-wind for life! Find that fire within and use this intense clarity of focus to reach YOUR Greatness. It's your destiny.

Enjoy, live, laugh, love always!

Blessings to you on your path,
~ Spiritual Cheerleader

Dear Maggie
Click here to submit *your* question for the Dear Maggie Column

Dear Maggie,

I came across your website by "accident," and felt it was meant to be. I have been practicing Ho'oponopono for the past several months, but still feel a stuckness. A year ago this summer, I learned that my husband and partner of 25 years is having an affair with a woman I believed to be my long-time close friend. He moved out of our home 8 months ago leaving me and our daughter as though we never mattered or existed. She left her husband and two children and my heart aches for them as well. I then discovered a few months ago that this is not the first infidelity in my marriage nor even the first with someone I believed to be my trusted friend.

I cannot put into words the shattering this has created for me and for our child and our lives, and others around us, in so many ways. I have done my best to stand with grace and dignity caring for our child and home alone. It is as if he has died, but without the same support of friends and extended family. I face an uncertain future in so many ways. This was a man I believed to be the last of the good guys. No indication of issues within our marriage nor hints of betrayal. Then the bomb drops... It has shaken me to the core.

I am asking for insights you may have on how I can magnify the cleaning process if possible to more quickly bring my daughter and myself through the pain, the financial hardship and instability, the fear, the grief. How can I best clean on my husband for his mental health and for him to honor his commitment to take care of us even if that does not include him being a part of our home and family any longer. How can I clean on the pain, jealousy, humiliation, anger, betrayal and desire for justice when it comes to my husband and the other women--my "friends."

I do not want to be that person--bitter, alone, angry. I do not come off this way to others and most would say I am doing great, but I know how I feel inside in the wee hours of the morning when all feels lost and destroyed, unsure, unstable, lonely... I am cleaning and erasing, praying, meditating, seeing a counselor, continuing my life as best I can, and being the best person and mother that I can be, but the pain, fear and grief seem to have a life of their own sometimes . I welcome any insight and suggestions you may have and I thank you for taking the time.

Blessings and peace to you and yours,
Hazel

Dear Hazel,

Before I can even start typing my response a divine messages came for you from above to: Keep finding that silver lining and hold out for love. Love of self, love of your daughter and any other love that comes along the way. It's a divine message that came the minute I started typing my response to you.

For those who are unfamiliar with Ho'oponopono, please click here for the full description. Simply put, it is a clearing and cleaning method that transmutes situations into a higher vibration.

Part of Ho'oponopono is that you are taking 100% full responsibility for ALL that has occurred or will occur in and around your life. Anything that is in your awareness and especially anything that is emotionally charging you. And so we clean. We heal. We grieve. We take a higher perspective than those of the unconscious world. We realize that even these painful experiences in our lives are OURS and we are NOT Victims. We CAN take charge and find that Warrior within us. It is no coincidence that my article this month is about JUST this Warrior within. Please do read when you can as well. :)

We can find that peaceful place inside of us even as we grieve, clean, heal and move forward with our lives. It's always there even if we can't feel it at time. Nothing can ever touch that part of ourselves. And nothing can ever touch that peaceful divine light that is in others, that is in your ex, that is in your daughter, that is in everyone. It's always there no matter how clouded by their own ego and experiences. It's our choice to find it, seek it out and be in that space during the good time and especially the challenging times.

You might not have seen the signs or maybe you weren't meant to see the signs of a marriage about to end. It's okay. It's an experience that you will remember and take with you as a more evolved person; a more evolved soul. Because you have these tools, you can now better move through more challenging experiences when they come up. Had you not known about Ho'oponopono or other healing methods as well as the wisdom that comes from practicing them, your marriage ending could have been more detrimental to your mental state as well as even your physical health. But you have this knowledge and wisdom. You ARE making it. You ARE doing it. You are doing so amazing! A part of cleaning is to know when issues are really "yours" to "bear" and when you need to let things go. Yes, it is painful for others to experience such a challenge, but you do not have to beat yourself up about others pain as much as you are. It is helpful, I'm sure, for them to know you are going through this too, but know they are experiencing this and working through it. Maybe you can help or maybe you can clean a bit on it and then move on. Continue with YOUR healing for your experience.

You may clean on your ex. (Been there.) Clean on any situation that you have attracted to you regarding your ex. But then let it go. It's then up to him to do or not do what he is going to do. And you may hope that he will step up and take care of his responsibilities. But if he does not, it's not for you to hold out and hope and pray he does. If he doesn't, there are things set in place for you to take action on and be sure you are safe and secure. You can take him to court if need be. You may or may not need a lawyer. Then when you get there, clean. Pray only for the highest and best, good outcome to come for all involved. See him and anyone he is with as white pure divine light, see the judge and divine light, any lawyers and divine light and most importantly yourself as the Divine light being you are! Surrender the outcome. Let it go. Then the most divine thing will occur for all involved. Whatever that is, it is okay. You ARE okay. You are ALWAY always always taken care of. Know this. Never go through life in fear. Always know you can flow with life happily and naturally.

Each of us experience this differently and we all hope for our suffering to end fast. Sometimes it does. And sometimes it doesn't. Many times it is our MINDS that cause us the most suffering. Now, is a time for your to break out on your own. See this as a blessing that you do not have someone that is very lost right now dragging you down. They left and are hopefully going to find their way on their own. You are now able to FLY high and do so much that probably having had this partner in your life, you may not have done. Everything is Divine. Everything! From the toast you ate today to the ending of a relationship. We can't always know the exact reasons but at its highest level it is so divine and your Soul is shining so brightly from this evolving experience!

Do your best to get out of your mind. Say the phrases knowing that there is always hope and faith. Trust there is more for you to experience and most of it is sooo good and uplifting! In our peaceful state we can meet challenges faster and process them with more ease. So breathe. See if you can meditate once a day just seeing the Divine Light being your are. Ask your Angels for their assistance and help to bring more peace of mind, body and soul your way. See the signs of what they bring to you to assist you in doing and being in this constant state. They may ask you to meditate, to practice yoga, go for a walk or even go out dancing. Whatever it is, just be with it and no you are always taken care of. I'm sorry, Please Forgive me, I Love You, Thank you.

Bliss,
Maggie

Full Free Yoga Sequences now on Hulu
In always wanting to spice up your routine and not always having the fundage for this, it was awesome to see full Yoga sequences being offered for free viewing on Hulu.com! Yay! I have to share! :) I haven't tried these particular sequences yet, but I will!

Fancy Feast's Storybook Wedding Ceremony
A romantic story with a Kitty Twist
I love kitties and I love romantic comedies! So in this 3 minute video I get a teeny fix for both! So cuuute! :)

Heavy
This summer I missed getting my "Biggest Loser" fix (which, btw, is premiering tonight!) so I had to look elsewhere. This series ended up as a recommendation for me in my Netflix Queue. I loved it! It's a series of 12 episodes! You watch two overweight people go through the change in shrinking their bodies as well as awakening their minds and souls. They work with personal trainers and become more conscious of the choices they've made and the why's behind them. Amazing! Enjoy! :)

It is my desire and intention always that you take away from my newsletter feelings of empowerment, aliveness, divine connection and peace. May You Always Know the Peace that Dwells Within.
