4. Suppliers
5. Customers
6. Peers or Your Industry (a.k.a. competition)

Living Yoga Philosophy: Thriving Off the Mat in the Workplace and Life

By: Jennifer Culver

We know yoga as the physical (asana) practice. We know yoga as a breathing (pranayama) practice. Are you aware of yoga as a mental, emotional, and spiritual practice? When I was a beginner yogi, I didn’t fully understand when my teachers would say “yoga has so little to do with the physical postures”. So then why were the poses so difficult? As a yoga instructor, I’ve come to learn so much more about the yoga practice and the life and workplace application of the yoga philosophy.
Flexibility is one key component. Where the flexibility appears to begin with the body actually originates with the mind. The body can and will do so much more when we relax, breathe, and stretch ourselves (not just physical stretching.) This is one aspect of thriving while living the yoga philosophy.

Yoga philosophy isn’t a religion, but a spiritual expansion of our consciousness. It’s embodying the positive energies around us and connecting with our core and higher self for peace, harmony and balance. Like a chiropractic adjustment, it aligns our mind, body, and spirit.

A few benefits of living according to the yoga philosophies (sutras) is a decrease in ego and an increase in a positive attitude, productivity, happiness and good health (to name a few.) It brings awareness and clarity to our thoughts, actions, and words. I take clients through a self-awareness exercise, looking at these both personally and professionally. Oftentimes we begin with a specific professional challenge (ex: trying to thrive alongside egotistical, money-hungry people in the workplace) and it moves into a deeper seeded core value. We work at the core and shift certain non-serving energies and values to bring balance, harmony and peace to the mind, body and soul. From there my client has the ability to apply these same principles to all aspects of his/her life – especially in the workplace.

Attitude is a key component. The Yoga Sutras (philosophies) focus considerably on the attitude towards our environment (yamas) and attitude towards oneself (niyamas). These are the key areas of personal development within my coaching program with clients titled “Living Yoga Philosophies: Thriving Off the Mat in the Workplace and Life.”

Frequently, yoga students who are professionals in the workplace find themselves in a tug-and-pull situation. They love the relaxed, mindful and full breathing state they experience on the mat during their physical yoga practice. These professionals seek yoga to de-stress, calm and heal the mind and body. They then walk into the workplace and it’s like the wall of negative and/or ego energy hits them in the face. They energetically and physically feel the disparity between the two experiences. Their chest tightens, the forehead hurts (headache) and/or they feel discomfort in the pit of their stomach. Their chakras (energy centers in the body) react, providing clues with the discomfort. Over time, they recognize that something has to change. Is it a new employer? Is it a new position within the current organization? Is it a new career altogether? Is it a new perspective and way of life? It depends on the individual. But considerable time is spent addressing the situation for the growth, peace, happiness and health of the client. It’s about clearing the obstacles – personally and professionally – by reviewing what he/she is attracting and paying attention to, along with identifying the client’s distractions. I coach the client with directing his/her mind with clarity and focus. These tools are also applicable for family and life application. It’s a core development that positively changes the client’s entire world – all for the greater good.

The core message (and my common tagline) is “Be positively different: Decrease ego, rules and conditions to increase love, happiness, health and productivity.” Identify your greatest opportunities and reaffirm your greatest assets. Give and receive truth and freedom by bringing ease to the workplace and life. Create a “non-judgment” plan. Identify your truth and remove the fear. Simplify your life and work environment (even as a work-from-home sole proprietor.) Observe and cleanse your mind, body and soul. Awaken your soul within, increase your faith and increase your vitality. Bring positive energy to your mental, physical and spiritual health. Breathe, meditate and just be. Bring happiness, growth and productivity into your consciousness and then assist and/or watch it naturally spill over with your team/peers, your leadership team and/or your business partners. Be the change. “Thrive off the mat in the workplace and life by living the yoga philosophy.”

Flow for the “Zen of it.” Namaste

Jentle Jen’s latest article at bizymoms.org: “Non-Skier Embraces Winter”

http://www.bizymoms.com/expert-advice/Article/Non-Skier-Embraces-Winter/85218

Introduction to the article:
As a central Wisconsin female residing in a rural community, it’s an effort to benefit from the dark days, the cold nights, and the white, wet snow. My all-wheel-drive vehicle is one of my best friends during the dreary days of snow travel. Cabin fever sets in when I don’t get out into the fresh air and the open sky on a regular basis. But what’s a non-skier to do to “enjoy” the winter?

Typically, those who love the winter are either skiers or snowmobilers. I’ve tried skiing twice and it’s just not my thing. I’m happy I tried it to rule it in or out, and I’m hoping my daughter picks it up as my husband is an excellent skier. I rode on snowmobiles as a child with my crazy uncles and again ruled it out as a form of entertainment. I’m more of a passive participant in winter sports. Although, as a child you would catch me screaming down an icy, snowy family hill on an inflatable tube, launching into the air over a log and an icy piece of plywood. Needless to say, this was not my mother’s favorite activity for my siblings and me. Sledding was one thing, but flipping over in the air was saved for areas where “mom couldn’t see us.” Another favorite spot was behind my neighbor’s house where at the end of the hill is a barbed wire fence as the parameter of the lot line. I managed to slice my entire snowmobile suit down the side of my body as a youngster, without a scratch on me. Ahh, those were the days!

Today, I’m more that passive person. I have no reservation admitting that fear is a part of it. But how do you enjoy the long winters and get the fresh air when you’re not a fan of skiing or snowmobiling?

My personal journal entry 11/16/11: Why I Over-commit. I’m trying to satisfy the need to be a part of a community. My current communities are no longer exciting me: Kiwanis Club, my various Board of Director groups, my book club, etc. I’m going through the motions and saying “yes” when asked with the hope that I’ll belong and find that special “you like me and want to be with me” factor.

In my corporate and consulting days, I was excellent at what I did. I connected with so many people every day and I made a difference. I was the person that others sought out to get the answers – to grow, to learn, to live. I changed lives every day. I was always described as the person with the big smile, warm greeting in the hallway, and a warn heart. People wanted to be around me. For those people who truly appreciated my gifts I was blessed and thankful. It also helps me realize why I became a workaholic. I thrived on that feedback and love. Or at least I equated it to love and acceptance. It helped me get up and leave the house in the dark at 5:30 am and return home at 5:30 pm or sometimes 8:30 pm. But then it went too far. I’d take “the work” home and extend the job into the wee hours so that people would continue to “like me” and appreciate me.

11/11/11 Day of Empowerment

Numerologists indicate that TODAY 11/11/11 is a day of empowerment. I believe every day is a day of empowerment, but I am taking the opportunity to further enhance the likelihood of increasing my vibrational response by putting my plan in writing. Read on.

Now its fair to say that as sceptics point out dates with nice looking numbers have no intrinsic meaning, after all different nations even have different calendars. That I totally except. In fact I would say that these dates only mean something special because some of us have given them a special meaning due to personal experience. It is therefore likely that for many people these dates will hold no special meaning or events, but for those who have been bombarded by these number strings on car plates, book pages, websites, bus routes, mobile numbers, computer clocks and dozens of other places, it is likely (in my very mystical opinion) that truly something amazing may very well happen on both 11/11/11 and at 11:11 21-12-2012. ~ Bruce (http://2012rising.com/article/11-11-phenomenon-and-111111-awakening-the-pyramid-of-giza)

I have an interest in the topic of 11:11 and find it interesting that I oftentimes view the clock at 11:11, 1:11 and 2:22 am. Last night (11/10/11 with a full moon), I received a phone call from my dear friend, who happens to be a teacher and pastors wife (so a very loving, supportive person in my life) and she proceeded to tell me a story that she said “would only be a minute.” When the phone call ended, we spoke exactly 11:11 – 11 minutes and 11 seconds. I smiled and said to myself “of course.” This morning, around 1 am I awoke and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I didn’t look at the clock immediately, and only wished that I had. Did I awake at 1:11 again? As I tossed and turned, I finally decided to get up and write this post, since it was already spinning around in my head. I got out of bed at 2:23 am (so close!)

December 21, 2012 at 11:11 is the upcoming winter solstice and is linked to global awakening. I am all for global awakening. Living the awakening myself over my lifetime, but most significantly over the last few years, I understand the benefits for myself and for the global greater good. Energetically, I feel and welcome the shift.

Day of Empowerment
Numerologists indicate this is a day of empowerment. Las Vegas is booming today with weddings and believers flocking to the “lucky day.” Celebrity numerologist Glynis McCants indicates “today is a day to do what you want. If you want to get married, it’s a really good day. It’s a good day to file paperwork for a new business or to hold a grand opening. It’s a day of empowerment.” http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/nov/11/las-vegas-wishes-111111-happened-more-often/

So hype or not, I’m seizing the moment to empower my personal and professional plans in writing. I’ll follow later today with a yoga class and a solo meditation session reflecting on my goals. Additionally, I continue to de-clutter my life as today is a great for it as it’s one of my top goals. So, time to attack the closet!

I chose to write down 11 goals (of course), recognizing that if I think of more as the day proceeds, I’ll take the time to write down 11 more.

Minimize
1 Minimize fear and negative energy.
2 Minimize feeling without.
3 Minimize clutter by de-cluttering my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual existence.
4 Minimize spending.
5 Minimize busyness.
6 Minimize giving away my power.
7 Minimize customer challenges.
8 Minimize payables.
9 Minimize worry and stewing on the past.
10 Minimize indecisiveness in my business.
11 Minimize computer time and disconnecting when family is present.

Maximize
1 Maximize love and positive energy.
2 Maximize feeling complete and whole.
3 Maximize space and clarity through simplicity in my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual existence.
4 Maximize saving.
5 Maximize productivity.
6 Maximize profits.
7 Maximize customer relations and growth.
8 Maximize sales and revenues.
9 Maximize meditation, chakra clearing, cutting the cords, visualization and law of attraction.
10 Maximize professional coaching, yoga and writing opportunities, maintenance and business growth.
11 Maximize mindful, interactive family time.

Whether you believe today is a “special day” as it relates to 11/11/11 or not, today is a “special day.” It’s a day of your own personal awakening. We have the opportunity to seek this out every day of our lives. Be mindful of your thoughts, and focus your attention on what you want versus what you don’t want in your life and the planet as a whole. I invite you to take a moment today and write down your empowerment list and sit with it in reflection for some time.
