In his book 40 Days to Personal Revolution, my teacher Baron Baptiste suggests that to achieve positive change in our lives on the path to happiness, we need to remove the rocks.
Meditation has helped me open my eyes to truly see myself. When I take the time to journey within, I let go of the old trappings and the voice that says, “You are not enough,” the old patterns that encourage me to react instead of respond. Meditation dusts off my brighter inner self and allows me to shine.
Meditation does not have to be difficult or complicated.
What would you change in your life? Would you try something new? Would you start your own business? A non-profit to serve others? Would you change your career?
If you don't believe that one person with a vision can change the world, you have not met Paige Elenson. A senior Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga teacher, Paige is the founder of Africa Yoga Project. She embodies the concept of selfless service in action. Paige is the proof that one young woman with an idea can change the planet.
What happens when you take 21 women of different ages (from their 20s to their 50s), shapes and sizes, from different careers and backgrounds, and put them through 14 hot and sweaty power vinyasa yoga classes, a three day fruit cleanse (no food but fruit for three days--- really), intense self-inquiry and twice-daily meditation all in eight days?
