 &lt;/span&gt;I find a song and access a feeling and I find a way to channel it through dancing.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I get affirmed from feeling and being alive through having an audience.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Yoga Booty Ballet is making me a more confident person.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I am a creative being and it comes out and it makes me feel at home in my own body and helps me to better know myself.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;When I think about the fact that I am not in a relationship or when I overeat or when &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I binge eat standing up, or the fact that I have thousands of dollars in parking tickets, I show up as the seat of the teacher and&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;know my purpose and I know I am doing the best that I can.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;So how does yoga booty ballet translate to prosperity?&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This is both the magic and the mystery of the universe that I am playing with.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I know that whatever we are in the present moment is what we are attracting to us right now.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;For example instead of me saying, “I eat standing up and binge out of control and feel invaded by guys asking me out and I keep getting parking tickets and woe is me etc” I would rephrase it with the slightest glimmer of the hope vibration.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;My vision of myself is that I have a full fledge studio with two rooms, with nice clothes, I am an ambassador for lululemon or I am sponsored by some company, I pay for all my parking with ease, fit into my size 26 jeans and am a size 4,&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I have a healthy relationship with food and with boys.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I set boundaries when they are appropriate so I feel safe and secure when I am walking around.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;If the vision is too far for me to see then I’d change it to suggest hope,. When someone asks me, “how are you and how is the studio?’ I’d say “Well I am really looking forward to and excited to raise sales and I look forward to being in a great relationship with food and with my body.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Historically I used boys to show me I existed. If I wanted to know what I looked like I would base it off of either how many boys I could get to fall in love with me or how deeply I could get one boy to fall in love with me.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I used to feel that I needed to feel needed and now I am changing that.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Now I ask myself “if my true yearning is to feel like I exist, how can I do that?” I exist through God filling me up with life.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I move out of the way for God to come through me and ask, “what is my purpose right now?’&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;!--EndFragment--&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/150270478602866784-106035985601808133?l=theindigostudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theindigostudio.blogspot.com/feeds/106035985601808133/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theindigostudio.blogspot.com/2009/10/yoga-booty-ballet-in-my-life.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/150270478602866784/posts/default/106035985601808133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/150270478602866784/posts/default/106035985601808133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theindigostudio.blogspot.com/2009/10/yoga-booty-ballet-in-my-life.html' title='Yoga Booty Ballet in my life'/><author><name>Indigo Studio Chicago</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ajNeZQeVnXI/Sr4VmR1C69I/AAAAAAAAAKo/MoetY6ePFo8/S220/main+headshot.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
