Soul Gazing: Tantra Eye Contact Ritual [VIDEO]

The Soul Gazing exercise in Tantra is a method of communicating with your lover that is completely nonverbal. As such, it may open new doors to intimacy in your relationship that were previously unexplored. Use this exercise to communicate on a deeper level with your partner, and to awaken new lines of exchange. Soul Gazing harmonizes the energy of both partners, creating an open heart space where deeper intimacy may be achieved.

The eyes are the windows to your soul. The eyes provide the sense of sight. The eyes need to be stretched for your sensual healing.

5 Tips To Spring Into Summer With Yoga!

I confess I need a little more Spring in my step as I make plans to - Spring in Summer 2014 with Yoga Flava.

Here are 5 tips to help keep you motivated as we prepare our mind, body and spirits for the remainder of Spring, moving into Summer.

1. Easy does it - Have a taste.

My Yoga Flava YouTube videos offers you the opportunity to observe and learn; anatomically-correct descriptions of each pose, guided meditation, interviews and news.

2. Find a Yoga Flava Playa

Everything is better when you have someone to share it with! Convince a friend at your same experience level to attend some classes with you. This will allow you to let your guard down and enjoy the experience a little more. Find out more about my private and / or couples session in-person or online.
Email: robin@yogaflava.com

Go virtual via Skype: YogaFlava

4. Do What You Can

Come to your mat each time with an open mind and a compassionate heart, and you will be surprised at how much easier the poses will come to you!

Lots of students give up their practice when they cannot conquer Crow pose after only two weeks. Understand that when you enter the world of yoga, all the rules about competitiveness, comparison, and deadlines that we are raised with go out the window.

5. Pace yourself and enjoy the journey

Yoga is about simply enjoying the journey. Your journey. Not the journey of the person on the mat next to you. Your uniquely beautiful journey.

Yoga of Success: Message, Marketing, and Money

At the recent Yoga Journal LIVE New York 2014 event, I had the honor to take a session entitled "Yoga of Success: Message, Marketing, and Money" with instructors Sadie Nardini and Tyler McCoy. I originally came to Yoga because of stress, and then I looked around and realized a lot of people are suffering and I wanted to share the tools I learned. I came to Yoga from a very pure place and now sustain myself with it as a business.

The lecture with Sadie and Tyler provided tips, tools, and secrets from these skyrocketing yoga professionals.

Here is the ten-step map that you can use to clarify, then live your dreams. Reap the benefits, financial and otherwise, from getting to the core of who you are, and how to express that into the world:

1). Dissolve your abundance resistance.
2). Add value and the money will follow
3). Brand your weird
4). Get clear - Let people know about your value - What they will get and how they will feel.
5). Make relationships, not business transactions.
6). Do it yourself
7). Get Socially Smart
8). Get organized, build a team
9). Get passive
10). Money loves structure and freedom.

This is just a sampling of the steps that were mentioned. To learn more please check out Sadie Nardini and Tyler McCoy

Yoga for Empaths: Creating Effective Boundaries

At the recent Yoga Journal LIVE New York 2014 event, I had the honor to take a session entitled "Yoga For Empaths" with instructor Bo Forbes. I originally came to Yoga because of stress, sometimes not just my stress... I was also empathic to the stress of those around me... which makes me an "empath".

Empaths--extremely empathic people--make wonderful teachers, healers, and therapists. Being an empath, however, can be hazardous to our health: empaths absorb others' emotions, get sick more easily, and are more vulnerable to emotional contagion than people who are not empaths.

I enjoyed the session very much, it was such a reminder to the subtle conscious energy needed to solidify boundaries, regulate our nervous system, and promote physical, mental, and emotional health. Bo shares more insights through her article I Feel Your Pain: An Empath’s Guide to Staying Balanced.

Are you an empath? Here are five signs that you might be—and that your wonderful qualities, when left unchecked, can compromise your health.

THE EMPATH CHECKLIST:
1. You struggle with boundaries. It’s tough to know where you leave off and others begin, which experiences are yours and which come from others, when to open your channels for connection or to close them.
2. You’re often not in your body. For empaths, all that “feeling into” the experiences of others means that you dissociate: you leave your body or “shuttle” out of direct experience as a matter of course.
3. You’re vulnerable to emotional contagion. You absorb the emotions of others, from your boss and colleagues at work to your family and friends, and even the check-out guy at Whole Foods.
4. You’re prone to nervous system overdrive. It doesn’t take much—sometimes just a draining conversation or a party that’s loud and over-populated—to propel your nervous system into alarm mode.
5. You have trouble with intimacy. Your relationships are filled with intense bonding and equally intense separations. You can merge with others at the drop of a hat, but get so entangled that an “emotional exorcism” of someone you care about is often the only way to get your space.

If the answer is yes, it’s highly likely that you’re an empath. (READ MORE)
