Thenews often ignites this feeling of scarcity and "not enough". Whensitting out there in nature on a rock, overlooking the most splendid colors andviews, such perfect harmony and balance, it required NO money, it isjust life revealing itself as ABUNDANCE.All feelings of "not enough"melts away.For how many thousands of years have humans lived,immersed and in harmony with nature? And for how many years have welived a life where almost everything we do involves phones, cellphones,TV, computers, wireless, software etc. I love all that stuff, itgives me an opportunity to create music in the simplest way, and toconnect with YOU, Right now :-) but please don't forget that the mediaoften thrives on drama, please don't buy into it. Know that theuniverse is abundant, look around you! The stars shine for you, seasonschange color for you, nature sings for you. It is all ours to enjoy.Please acknowledge the sounds, the smells, the feeling, the views, evenwhere you are sitting, right now, there is so much beauty! Please sendlove to your fellow human beings, and especially to yourself, for beinga good person, a strong person, reflection of the divine, a loving and important soul on thisplanet.xoxoSolveiwww.solvei-music.com</div>2010... YES!!!https://my.yoga-vidya.org/profiles/blogs/2010-yes2010-01-19T15:04:01.000Z2010-01-19T15:04:01.000ZSolvei Kristin McKennahttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/members/SolveiKristinMcKenna<div>Hello my beautiful souls!Happy new year (a little late, but better late than never), and let me assure you, this year is going to bring much encouragement, hope, forward motion, drive, positivity and you will need all your strength, your health, your positivity, to move with the flow of this AMAZING year.The "stuck" energy of 2009 is over ~ full blast forward.Let us together now, make a decision to be kind, to be helpful to others, to trust that we are enough, we have enough, and that we know enough... to be a part of this world's highest, most aware energies, of "back to balance".What is better in your life today, compared to a year ago? or two years ago, or 5?Regardless of your current circumstances, can you now please put a spot light on what is BETTER, more in harmony, or more in balance in your life?Acknowledge it, appreciate it, whatever it may be... please take a breath and when exhaling the breath out, say quietly or aloud "Thank you". You are thanking the highest good, the most loving force within you, you are thanking your soul for showing up, even when it is difficult, you are thanking the universe for moving you into a new day, a new chapter, a new millennium.We are in this boat together :) When one of us is down in the dumps, we help each other, we help each other become happier.Your success, your fulfillment is BEAUTIFUL. You don't take anything away from anyone else, by being successful, you INSPIRE others by being truly successful, it shows others that it is possible, so go and do what you LOVE to do, go and feel fulfilled! If you don't know what truly fulfills you yet, that's okay... just ask inside of yourself. " What would I like, what do I enjoy, what brings a smile to my heart...?" The answers will come. Keep asking. You are unique, and very important to this world. Don't you forget it! :) You don't need ANYONE'S permission to be happy. It is your birth right.Happy 2010!xoxoSolvei</div>Holiday~Winter Solstice~Reflectionhttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/profiles/blogs/holidaywinter-12009-12-23T04:13:17.000Z2009-12-23T04:13:17.000ZSolvei Kristin McKennahttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/members/SolveiKristinMcKenna<div>Blessings to you all, my wonderful souls, wherever you are at this very moment reading this, I urge you to look around you. Find something that pleases the eye and flood what ever or whomever it is, with love and appreciation. We never know where we will be tomorrow. Life has many surprises, appreciate when you can, wherever you can. Love, is the word, Love is what this time on this earth requires and hungers for more than anything else. Compassion, understanding... Use your gifts, your talents with this Love in mind, know you are gracing our world every time you choose Love. Know you help raise the positive vibrations of our planet, every time you choose Love.I am there with you, in your hardships, in your struggles, in your sadness, but also there in your joy, in your excitement and inspiration and grace.Be better this holiday, listen to yourself, take 5 minutes to yourself, even in the midst of partying and family gatherings, look at the sky, see the beauty. Focus on the beauty, and know.. you ARE this beauty, the beauty you see in others, is also in you.Blessings to you my sacred friend xoxoxoSolvei</div>
