“Change, when it comes, cracks everything open.”

Dorothy Allison

Engage change. Experience more. Change makes any & everything possible.

Change how you see yourself before you change the world.

Attempting to change the world before you change how you see yourself is working against yourself. Once you see yourself differently, your world changes to reflect your new self image. As within, so it is without. Your world is more of a mirror than you realize.

{this is why change can feel so threatening: when it comes suddenly it forces you to see yourself differently. This is why you want to engage change on your terms. It’s easier. And gentler}

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”

Alan Watts

Live life from what you desire to see most in the world as if it is already happening. See yourself now as you are going to be when this world is firmly in place. This level of trust is what actually creates the desired outcome to the detail.

You are entirely unlimited in this process: only you determine the limits according to how you see yourself.

Free yourself. This truth is your ticket.

Embody your vision now. Feel the relief and bliss in having what you want already just as if it’s already part of your life. Enjoy the new freedom you have gained. Delight in every detail. Focus on how having exactly what you want makes you feel. Details tie it down, lock it in, give it substance, details make it real: make it feel real which is exactly what you want.

Engage more sense. Make your vision more tactile. The more palpable, the more real.

Engage more possibility. Change your mind about what you think is actually possible in life. Stay open.

“Change is really another word for opportunity. Change allows you the opportunity to see what’s possible.”

With all the opportunity change brings, why do we resist change at every turn?

The answer is in your basic neurology. You are wired to what’s comfortable & familiar. When you try to make a change in your lifestyle or how you see yourself, you have your old habitual neural network competing against the new neural network of doing things differently that you are trying to install, so allow some time for the new one to be stronger and more natural than your old neural pattern.

When you are continually working on your personal development your success in accelerating your growth & learning curve lies in how comfortable you can be being uncomfortable with the new neural networks you are laying down.

This is why good old fashioned patience is powerful. We are being increasingly wired to expect instant results when some processes require time. Establishing new neural networks takes up to 4 – 6 weeks for them to stick and there is still some backslide danger for months afterwards, depending on how different the new network is from all your other established networks.

This is why having multiple passions in similar areas is of immense value & benefit: you establish many interconnected neural pathways that all support and reinforce each other enhancing your overall creative process and experience.

Engage change. Flirt with pure possibility. Play with new ideas & ways of thinking. Explore all your options. Here’s 5 things that make all the difference.

1. Stop waiting for permission to be more you. Be bold, yes it takes courage, but the more you are completely yourself the more your life truly begins. Explore more. Try new things, approaches, just because.

2. Stay flexible, humble, out of your own way: let your creative energy come through you on its own terms. Let yourself experience how unlimited this actually is before you decide what it {you} can do.

3. Be adventurous: experience the world at the edge of your experience. Stay cutting edge. Aspire to live life in the words of Diane Arbus: “My favorite thing is to go where I have never been.”  Let the world in more. Travel is essential education: your desire to experience other worlds & cultures is of more significance than you realize.  When you are in a completely different, new culture you lose many associations that keep you locked up in old patterns, offering unlimited opportunity for growth & exploration outside of your current life experience. Invaluable.

4. Have more fun: let yourself get away with having way more fun than you would normally allow. You don’t have to take yourself so seriously to be seen as sincere. People confuse serious with sincere. Seriousness is just seeing yourself as overly important, which is pretty hilarious {Be ready to be laughed at} Besides, playful is highly productive.

5. Discover more of who you are. Dare to be more. Experience more. Love more than you have ever loved before. Let yourself feel loved more than you have ever dared possible. Let life fall head over heels in love with you.

I so appreciate that you are here. Thank you so much for sharing this and my other posts, I am totally light on my feet, I’m so honored & happy when I see all the shares. THANKS for all the messages about how these help you, too. Means more than anything. Been celebrating, its quite the dance party over here {some things never change}

Much Love {and it just keeps growing}

See you next Friday!

{This by the way is an excellent time to drop by & say Hi online should the mood strike}

1. The envy issue: it’s time to reframe envy and see it for what it really is: envy is the ultimate wake up call to what you want. Welcome the experience. Get comfortable with it. Don’t worry about eliciting envy from others. You are helping them to get clear about what they really want and this is a gift. I feel nothing but deep respect + gratitude for everyone who has ever been a creative influence for me, who created that initial spark of envy in me + kicked me into gear. I love them more than ever for having the guts to do what I was getting the nerve up to begin.

2. Moxie: getting enough nerve. We don’t know how to build up nerve, and this is okay. You have to realize this and allow for your learning curve. Moxie comes from experience. From practice. From trusting yourself enough. From allowing + knowing how to use mistakes. You learn how to navigate your nerves by building up what they {and you} can tolerate. It takes a while for our neural networks sometimes to catch up, so allow for this.

3. Be transparent: the more open you are about what you are authentically going through, the easier it is to shine. It’s drastic, yes, but once you are out there, there’s nothing left to hide and this translates into unlimited ease. You relax. You are free to be totally you. You learn more. You realize that you are not supposed to have all the answers: that life is an adventure and the main objective is simply to have fun.

“There’s nothing sexier than authentic expression.”

4. Experiment: play with how you want to share your life. You have unlimited options. Give yourself enough room to move. Explore. You can create whatever you want in life. I love Charles Ive’s thinking:

“Every great inspiration is but an experiment.”

5. Love more: live the unlimited version of your life. Love is your secret super power. You haven’t seen all it can do, yet. Don’t let a ceiling on how much love you think is possible stop you from living all that you can.

Thank you all for all the shares everywhere online. I so appreciate you taking the time to do this, you have no idea. Let me know below any insights or ideas you have. As always, its so fun to share with you, til next time.

Stay bold, keep shining

The post Shy to shine? 5 things to get to the good stuff in life appeared first on Premakarini.

How to experience your creative genius? A peak experience? intuition?

Raise the level of your awareness: Do whatever you love, experience what you appreciate most, heighten your perception. Sharpen your senses. Explore what these are for you.

Besides the obvious intensifying bliss + ecstasy, you know when you switch up a level because you start to hear things that you haven’t heard before in a familiar piece of music; everything seems and feels fresh, brand new…like you are experiencing it for the first time.

Anything that gets you to this experience: know it is pure genius.

My first conscious experience of this was through music. Then it was through The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East Books in 94. Every time I read them they blow me away and seem like new books to me. And they have opened up unlimited experience for me.

“Each life experience poses this question: how do you want to be changed because of me?”

Mollie Marti

It is in how you approach each experience, how much you allow yourself to totally inhabit the moment: how much presence you bring to what you are doing, where you are. Essentially, how much experience you let in, trust.

Presence = trust

When we are not as present {trusting} life dulls, the senses glaze over, they miss so much beauty this way.

When you are present, your senses heighten, sharpen, open up whole new worlds for you. You keep experiencing more and more beauty, you glow.

You shine.  You possess presence + beauty to the degree you allow yourself to experience these qualities. The more you experience them, and it doesn’t matter in what way, the more you exude them. It’s an identity thing. You begin to see your own beauty the more your sense of this develops and heightens, so you cannot help but express it.

The key is to experiment: let yourself experience more, to keep reaching for more…let go more all the time, stay out of the way: don’t even think about how it is, lose yourself in the pure experience itself, let it all pour through you. Just measure your experience only by how ecstatic it is. Let this be your barometer for success.

You deserve this quality of experience.

Notice what creative passions open up this experience the most for you. For me it’s singing, dancing and writing. But it can also be photography, film or painting.

Enlightenment, peak experience whatever you want to call it doesn’t matter how you get there. And there’s infinite ways. One of the things I love to do is to explore new ways just for fun and so I can pass them on.

I had the most amazing meditation class experience with a group of clients this week. It really is a lot of fun, a joy and a privilege. Meditation is one of my favorite passions because there are so many forms it can take. Dance right now is one where I experience some of the most peak experiences, and when I sing as well, this is amplified intensely. But then there is writing. And I love exploring Kriya yoga + playing with the breath.

Meditation is the door to peak experience and creative genius. Explore what you love doing most: this is the ideal meditation for you.

Meditation is listening to your intuition. There’s no right or wrong or one way to achieve this, it’s what naturally resonates with you, in the way you are most aware of. For some this is more just a feeling, an emotional knowing, for others it is image based: this is how you understand. For many it is a palpable feeling in your gut, goosebumps, shivers up and down the spine, and many other tactile sensations. When I dance it is movement and shape. For others it is more intellectual. For others, more sensual. You have your own unique way of processing experience.

Explore what yours is.

Love,

Premakarini X

You are invited to join me in whatever meditation you love most this weekend: just tune in when you can + have fun!

Respect: the experience

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Deep respect is a total turn on. There is nothing more attractive or alluring. When you encounter other souls who get this, and you get to share this with them, there’s nothing more fun.

Respect is a question of equality. Respect is essentially acknowledging another’s equality with your own.

Q

What is respect to you?

What do you respect most about yourself?

What do you admire most in others?

Your greatest inspiration is a reflection  of who you are

You can tell how truly evolved someone is by the amount of respect they have for all other people, especially people they don’t necessarily know well, but also those close to them in their life.

First and foremost: respect yourself deeply. There’s no other way to understand respect better than through this experience. Teach yourself respect. Experience it more in your life: this can range from giving yourself more rest to pursuing your deepest dreams. This is true respect.

Respect is a deep listening to what you truly need. Let intuition show you exactly what this is.

Notice how you feel when you feel deeply respected. Notice the difference it makes in your life.

It is not until you deeply respect yourself can you extend this level of respect to others.

Consider others feelings and wishes as equally important as your own. This is one of the greatest gifts you can give. Notice how others respond to this level of respect: the experience of this is enough for you to realize the power of what I am saying here. Realize that you can’t always fulfill what others want, but you can respect what they want by encouraging and empowering them to pursue their dreams with other people.

Sometimes freeing people to live their truth with others is the most beautiful thing you can do. And when you free others in this way, you always free yourself.

Love,

The belief in a thing makes it happen.

Frank Lloyd Wright

How are your beliefs limiting your life?

Q

What do you believe you are capable of accomplishing?

What do you believe your body is capable of?

What do you want to experience more of?

When was the last time you were in awe of what you can do?

We are what we believe we are.

Benjamin N. Cardozo

Whatever you believe: this is the limit you set to what you experience.

The real question is what do you want to experience?

What do you need to believe in order to experience this?

Changing what you believe is the only way you change your life.

A belief = just what you assume in terms of what’s possible.

When you change what you believe, your experience opens up. Your life goes to the next level of quality.

Invest the time to look at the areas of your life that you would like to experience more in and look closely at what beliefs are holding you back.

Let me know how this adds value to your life.

Love,

You have noticed. You are hearing about intuition now everywhere. Intuitive counselors, coaches and specialists are springing up all over the world. And if you are anything like me, you don’t want to miss out on all the fun.

So: here’s the second blog in my series on intuition. If you didn’t catch the first one, its right here.

Blog # 2: Act on your intuition: develop serious intuitive skills

Intuition is a powerful key to taking your life to the next level and making the impact that you want and need to in the world.

As the leader, entrepreneur, coach: as the change maker that you are, you want these skills.

Here’s why:

Intuition is your edge

Intuition is your key to unlimited intelligence. Intuition is the way you access any information you want, when you want. Intuition aligns you with your deepest desires and dreams and effortlessly attracts exactly what you want, expediting life at an accelerated level. Once you hone your skills there is no limit to what you can accomplish.

There is a reason why intuition is so hot right now. Collectively and intuitively we have reached a tipping point in our collective awareness. We are beginning to live from the inside out. Because of this, it has never been easier than it is now to explore and hone your intuitive skills and take your life to the next level.

Here are some questions for you to explore your intuitive process and determine where your intuitive strengths lie:

Take out a pen and your notebook or journal and play with these ideas. Just write down what immediately comes to mind. Write what feels right. Don’t analyze what you write at first. Later there will be plenty of time to explore at more depth. To really take this process to the next level: engage these questions intensely.

Just catch those first thoughts that flash into your mind. They are usually right on.

How intuitive are you? How much attention do you give to your intuition? What is the most powerful intuitive experience you have ever had? What made this stand out for you?* When was the last time you acted on your intuition? What action is this inspiring in you right now?

*this is important and attention worthy: It’s the way your intuition likes to get your attention and your own unique personal intuitive style. For example, one of the ways my intuition likes to get my attention: it gets me to pick up a book and open it ‘randomly’ and the message is usually right there. I know because it jumps out off the page at me. And if I am a little slow to pick up on it, it will keep repeating this process until I do.

The most amazing aspect of intuition? Once you begin to pay attention and allow your intuition to come freely into your conscious mind – once you make the intuitive process conscious – you begin to pick up on exactly what you need and everything starts coming together.

Intention and intuition work hand in hand. Once you set your intention to experience your intuition more consciously you begin to know: you find yourself making the right connections and being in the right place at the right time and things start happening – on their own.

It’s as if your intuition is on autopilot for you. As it is.

To strengthen your intuitive skills: ACT on what you get. It’s essential to act on your intuition and to see what living the ideas and insights actually yields. Often you will be blown away by the results.

Know this also: when you begin to play with intuition consciously it often becomes welcome to second guessing central where you start to question and doubt everything. It’s like your normal doubt process just got amped up like nothing else. Push through this and act anyway. It’s common when you bring more awareness to a process for this amplifying effect to occur.

And don’t worry about feeling like you are making it up. This is just a sophisticated left brain tactic kicking in to keep everything logically correct. While your left brain works with and enhances your right brain processes, it can get in the way if you let it. Merely acknowledge the alert and move on.

So how to know what to act on?

Go with the strongest hit, impulse, insight. You know, the ones that hit you and stay with you pulling on you for attention. Explore these and see what this opens up for you.

Let your intuition open up a whole new level of staying present for you*

One more thing: the more action you take, the more you reinforce and expand your intuitive process and skills. Experiment. Explore. Have fun. Don’t think in terms of right or wrong, just stay open and curious and see what happens.

And let me know. I love love love hearing about your experiences and what happens for you when you begin to explore new ideas.

*next time we get to play with intuitive presence: how intuition takes being in the moment to the next level.

This article is your sneak peak from the book Intuitive edge.

Have an amazing week,

Love Premakarini x

The post Why Intuition is so hot right now: Make your impact. Own your edge appeared first on Premakarini.

You will resist. The best experiences in life activate the greatest resistance. You can actually gauge the best experiences & meditation techniques by the amount of resistance you experience around doing them.

You will come up with every reason, excuse in the world why now is not a good time, or why you don’t need it right this minute. You do. Just get it done. If you wait for the resistance to subside or disappear you are in for a long time of nothing getting accomplished.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Amelia Earhart

The trick is to experience the resistance and do it anyway. And to let intense resistance be your guide that you are on the right track: that this is going to make a significant difference to the quality of your life.

You resist what’s best for you.

Welcome resistance. Let resistance be your guide and tip off that you are onto something, and do it anyway.

Go out of your way to get it done. Usually I have found that when resistance is at its most extreme I have experienced the biggest breakthroughs in my life.

“Pay attention to your resistances and dare to explore these undiscovered regions of yourself.”

Gabrielle Roth

The real reason you resist? It’s a homeostatic thing. You tend to want to stay at the level you are accustomed to, that you are comfortable with. Call it force of habit. Comfort zone. Just don’t get stuck in it. It’s usually fear of change: the very change and breakthrough you need most.

So use resistance. Enjoy its creative friction. Get excited when it’s at its strongest. You are in for quite the ride.

Have an amazing week!

Thank you for sharing this in the world. The more we use resistance to evolve and develop collectively, the more our collective quality of life is transformed, opening up new experience, making the world even more fun for us all.

Epic Love,

Own your brilliance. Live every idea that inspires and moves you. Then reach for even more.

Allow yourself to be fascinated: by everyone and everything. You don’t even need a reason, in fact, it’s even better if you don’t.

This is your time to explore. To adventure. To shine.

Give yourself unlimited permission to live everything that pulls on you, even if sometimes it’s only in your mind. Your life is as free as your perception. Open your mind, and leave it open.

Dare to see yourself like never before. Dare to see yourself through someone else’s eyes. In this way, you develop your super power of true vision and you can see others, too. You see the unexpressed parts that are waiting to live through you: dare to live these. They are your fastest track to unlimited energy, bliss: power.

Don’t be afraid of what others think. They see you anyway – they just might not know it, yet.

And when you step fully into you, you free them too.

See and be seen: it’s only when you’re transparent that you begin to see the world as it really is. Remarkable is a choice.

Seth Godin

Awaken.

Desire awakens possibility. Play catalyzes what is possible. Passion is your playground. Indulge your dreams and passions. Creativity is your nature: you are always creating, make this conscious, and you make a difference. More than you will ever know.

Inhabit each moment: see how far you can go. Unlearn limitation. Play with possibility: unleash your potential.

“You are so much more than you think you are”

Above all else, be playful. Have fun. Love more. Learn to lose yourself in laughter. Live from intuition. Look inside: it’s where everything you are looking for is. Trust yourself.

Empower others. Make your difference.

Make visible what, without you, might perhaps have never been seen.

Robert Bresson

Dare to unleash remarkable you.

Stay bold, keep shining

The post Remarkable You: my vision + manifesto for you appeared first on Premakarini.

Spontaneity reigns.

When you are spontaneous: you are in the moment. You have enough trust. You act intuitively. You gain clarity. You are empowered. You are having fun.

Trust is the key to the intuitive process.

You don’t have to overthink everything. You gain nothing from second guessing in life. The more you think: the less clear you are.

Clarity comes from acting and responding spontaneously + intuitively in each moment.

Trust that what you need most in each moment will come through you exactly in the form that is best. Think + feel from your intuition. Trust what feels right. Be spontaneous. Spontaneity is not only the key to being your authentic self, spontaneity works because it unleashes your intuitive self which enables you to be all you, which, incidentally, is all you need.

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

Ernest Holmes 

“Spontaneity accelerates the intuitive experience. Be bold. Do everything the way that feels right, every time. It probably won’t make sense but the authenticity of this: everything.” 

This is why intuition + the intuitive experience is so important and powerful:

It allows you to be you. It allows you to experience life at any level you desire and to keep taking it to the next level, which is the natural function of desire.

You are always wanting what’s next whether you are conscious of it or not.

This is just how you are wired. You can’t help but want more. Its how you evolve.

Don’t waste time trying to get rid of your desire. Denying what you want: dangerous territory – interesting, but not easy.

When you know what you want: go get it. Do whatever it takes to put it in motion. Honor + respect yourself in this way.

One of the reasons your life isn’t all it can be: you don’t respect yourself enough. You are always controlling what you have and want, instead of respecting your intuitive, spontaneous preference in the moment. You do it every day, all day long. You want a coffee and you don’t get stop and get it. You want to tell someone how you really feel: you don’t call. You want to lie down and rest: you push through and force out another hours work.

You do it all the time because you think you “know” better.

What you think you want and need and what you really want and need: two different things usually.

Test drive this + see.

Watch how many times you debate getting something during the day from big to the smallest decisions. Note all the times you second guess yourself. Notice how often you tell yourself no throughout even one morning.

Now do it differently. Experiment: experience your spontaneity + intuition. Dare to be this alive + present.

The post Spontaneity: the royal road to discovering and being your intuitive + authentic self appeared first on Premakarini.

What’s possible? You get to decide.

What do you WANT to be possible?

Here’s the real question: what do you really want?

The hardest part of navigating desire is deciding what you really want, then allowing yourself to actually have it in your life. It all comes down to permission. Freedom. How much freedom you allow yourself to play with in life, to engage possibility in your own unique, authentic way.

Freedom to think differently, to explore new ideas, new ways of experiencing life; to explore what you really value and believe at your deepest core, independent of what your culture or tribe thinks or feels.

Desire summons what’s possible into existence. Desire is evolutionary in its most essential, rawest nature. It demands we develop, grow, change and allow others this equal privilege.

Desire is palpable, present, focused: always in the moment. It’s that unadulterated intoxication of pure pleasure – the feeling of already having exactly what you want – not the aching or longing it’s usually associated with of its actual opposite: not being able to have what you truly desire.

Desire is passion and excitement condensed. It’s that intense pull you experience, that intuitive knowing that what you want is perfect for you at this time. Desire resonates at the deepest level. You feel yourself come alive in every cell the more you indulge its evocative call.

Pure desire quickens, there’s a quality of momentum involved that’s immediately generated. You find your every movement accelerates the more you move towards what you want. It’s as if you are being pulled exactly by and to what you want as you discover the deeper layers of what’s truly involved. Its inescapable.

This is not to say that everything is perfect, especially in the initial stages when strong resistance can come into the equation and throw everything into confusion. The hardest part is trusting what you want. Often this requires intense impactful life changes that may challenge what you believe about life itself. Yet upon deeper evaluation, you realize that these beliefs are simply outgrown.

The trick is to allow yourself to explore your desire and what you hold of the highest value on your own terms. To decide for yourself. To allow yourself to think differently: this is how we make the most difference ever in the world.

Endless love,
