My recent experience: Last year I did the one lap run of the Tough Guy / Gal Rotorua endurance race in Rotorua thinking wow that was tough – and no way could I do the 2 lap run – guess what? – last weekend I did the 2 laps in this years race. Your yoga teaching definately helped my mind and body. Thanks!

Now for the next challenge!

That’s a great story Tashie, thanks for sharing. The mind is sooooo powerful, if we can just harness that power then the body stuff becomes relatively easy!

One we know, yet never know how to intergrate into thought and life! I have just heard a story about my cousin, who truely wanted and believe he was going to win a Mind power course. He didnt win the first time, or the second but for the third time he worte out on paper, in the air in his mind “i am going to win…I am going to win” and even with odds against him he did – the ticket they drew was his with “I am going to win” written on the back! I thought this was a wonderful story of determination and mind power!

Thanks for sharing this with us too! I know I have things to tackle and will be trying to change my thoughts first! x
