I wrote ‘Bone positions can change’ in my blog on 6th October 2019, and also about how my private student managed to change her feet in the last blog. How important it is to correct our body and mind’s alignment and how easy it is to let our body and minds slip into a negative pattern.
Most people (I did) spoil their body and mind. Born with weakness, sustaining injuries or accidents etc. Everything is a good excuse for not facing the self. I was terrible; I made all kinds of excuses and blamed others. I was angry, hurt, ashamed and whatever other negative emotions you can think of. Since I awakened and realised myself, I started to see the energy inside me, and when the energy moves correctly, other parts of the body and mind automatically improved and moved into alignment.
If you are caught up with only the structure of the body, you need to look at the big picture; holistically, all things are connected and affected, good or bad.
It sounds like I am only talking about the body, but I’m also talking about the mind and spirituality.
I would say energy alignment is the most important aspect to improve everything.
I recently got a message from a Japanese student that filled me with joy because she understood it.
She asked me about online classes and if the timing is good, because she wanted to join. I get this type of mail a lot but it often doesn’t happen. I understand, and it’s the person’s own choice anyway, so I don’t usually expect anything. But she surprised me and joined my class the other day and sent me a message after the class: “I was a bit worried about my first online class but I did it! I noticed many things and I joined Yoko’s class without any excuse!” She got it!
Another good example: this person has been working on her energy in my private lessons for a few months in Bristol. The first time I met her she was very worried about many things and had so many issues. She didn’t like any strength type of poses and balances. Most recently her comment after my morning class, which is quite an invigorating ‘Hatha Energy Flow’, was “I could do the side plank (quite a strong balance pose) without a problem.”
Now they are so positive I can hear from them; “I feel I’ve improved.”, “A good start to the day!”, ” It’s exciting to continue!”, “I’m feeling so good” and so many other positive words. Of course we are still having ups and downs but a great process is underway that is so amazing.
I thank you beautiful ladies for your efforts and allowing me to support you.
I found another photo of myself where you can see the change of my shoulder position. Like I wrote before, my shoulders weren’t correct and I suffered for a long time. After a lot of work, I managed to fix it.
↑ September 2014, It was my best pose, and I thought that was it, but my shoulders were high and stiff.
↓ November 2019, If you can see now, my energy is very strong and natural, and shoulders are more relaxed.
It wasn’t easy but I did it. Now many things are much easier. I feel I can work more on my shoulders, but there’s no rush. I am enjoying the process a lot.
Our bodies respond to either positive or negative energy. When your energy is in alignment, you can feel it and notice a lot of good things. It starts changing the body, mind and sprit.
Which way would you like to take, positive or negative? Do or do not? It’s not too late; now is the best timing. Do not think about your past and future; time does not exist, you only exist now.
I am not special and can not do it for you but I can guide you to be whatever you want to be and share the experience and joy.
I have a free, 40 minute online class for everyone who wants to join for the New Moon on Thursday 23rd April at 11:30am. The new moon is a great time to reset and restart. Please contact me if you’d like to join so I can send you the Zoom link.
Also, a reminder that my ‘Hatha Yoga Energy Flow’ class is from 10:00-10:40am weekdays and 6pm on Wednesday; ‘Deep Stretch Energy Flow’ class is from 8:00-8:40pm on Wednesday and Sunday, and ‘Self-massage Energy Flow’ class is from 8:00-8:40pm on Friday. If you are interested please let us know or book through our booking page.
If you have any requests for classes regarding time, date, or style, we will definitely consider them so please, send us your ideas!
We have a video page now and a new 'Sun and Earth Purification' video was uploaded. In this Sun and Earth purification class, the focus is on grounding and cycling energy. We combine breathing, pranayama and Qi movement to take in the sun's energy and allow it to circulate. This class will cleanse the heart and mind and allow you to focus on your self. They are free so use for your daily practice.
I understand what’s going on in the world, and that’s why I would like to share positive energy rather than negative information. Trust in the power of love.
Namaste
2019, 10/6のブログにも書いたように、私の肩は赤ちゃんの時の事故で位置が高いまま成長したので、本当にいろんな不具合があったのですが、めっちゃ難しかったけど自分で少しずつ直したよーって言う内容でした。その変化が少し見える写真を見つけたので、恥ずかしいですが紹介します。
過去の私を含め殆どの人は、いろーんな言い訳をして自分と向き合わないようにして、改善しないことを他のせいにして、もはや病気さえ手放したくない状態にいます。私もいろんな段階を経験しました。自分が恥ずかしかったし、理解されなかったし、まぁ大変でした。
でもこの道に生きるようになってからは、エネルギーがよく理解できるようになって、エネルギーの流れを整えると、他の体、心、精神も整ってくることを見つけて、いろんな実験やらを経て今に至っています。体だけに囚われるのではなくもっと大きな視野で、ホリスティックに見ていきましょう。ってことです。
体のことを言っているだけではなく、それは心とスピリチュアルにも影響します。
しっかりと練習をしているプライベートの生徒さんたちは、掴んできたようで... 最高に嬉しいです。
「オンラインレッスン時間が合えば受けたいです」ってメールいただき、私も長年この仕事をやっているので、殆どの場合は無理でしたパターンなのですが、今回の彼女は違いました。
バッチリ参加してくれて、さらに「まだまだ課題が山積みだけど、とにかくやる！つべこべ云わずやる！という事ができた。 う〜ん気分爽快⭐︎ 」っていうなんとも素晴らしいポジティブメール。
他にも、すごく心配性で体を使うのが苦手だったイギリスの生徒さん、たったの３ヶ月くらいかなぁいくつかのエネルギーワークをやって、どんどんポジティブになってきて、今では割とガッツリ体を動かす朝のレッスンを受けてくれていて、メールでも「問題なくサイドプランクができたわ！」とか「今日は疲れているんだけど、それでも楽しめたし、自分が上達してるって感じる」などですよ。
すごく嬉しいです。
こうゆうことを共有できるのが更に嬉しいのよね。
身体も心も、ポジティブもしくはネガティブのエネルギーに敏感に反応し、その方向に進みます。人生は難しいことが多いかもしれないけど、それも私たちの見方次第。ポジティブかネガティブか、するかしないか。手遅れなんて絶対ないです。時間なんて存在しないんだから、だって私たちが存在できるのはたった今の瞬間のみ。私は全然特別じゃないし、あなたのために練習はしてあげられないけど、本気で取り組むのであれば、あなたの理想に近づけるように道を見せたり、経験や喜びを共有したり、真実を知る手助けをすることはできます。
来たる23日の新月にフリーレッスンを開きまーす。日本時間だと夕方７時半から４０分間のオンラインレッスンです。ご興味があれば、メールにてご予約お願いいたします。ズームのリンクを送らせていただきます。他にもいろんなレッスンをやっていますし、時間や内容のご要望があればお聞かせください、できるだけご希望に添えるようにしたいと思っております。
あと、ビデオのページが新しくでき、新しい動画もアップしました。いつもレッスンに参加してくれている皆様の、普段の練習用としてご利用いただけると嬉しいです。
新しい動画は「Sun and Earth Purification（太陽と大地の浄化）」です。エネルギーワークと呼吸とヨガのレッスンで、心が落ち着きエネルギーが満ちる、誰にでもやっていただける練習です。
ありがとうございました😊
