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>New Week- BREATHE please....https://my.yoga-vidya.org/profiles/blogs/new-week-breathe-please2009-07-20T19:07:37.000Z2009-07-20T19:07:37.000ZSolvei Kristin McKennahttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/members/SolveiKristinMcKenna<div>SO... right now, my friend, right now as you're reading this - take one moment of your life and breathe... take a deep breath in... and let it go.

In the city our senses get bombarded, and with the news telling us constantly how miserable the planet is, it can be blinding...blinding to the fact that great balance is found in large amounts of this world. Out there on the earth in a sleeping bag, everything works together, the birds are busy doing their thing, the spiders are busy working,the butterflies grace the sky with their exquisite colors, the snakes avoid you because humans freak out around them, and we forget sometimes we are just a SMALL part of the whole. We have so much to learn, things we don't see when we are rushing through life, but only get to see when we slow down...When we slow down, we bring quality to our lives, we create lasting memories. Being present and truly experiencing life in the moment, is what I will remember at the end of my life. I will remember the moments, when life stood still in complete beauty and harmony" I wont remember the "work deadline" I had. Let us make a decision to pay extra attention to the balance of nature this week, and know nature is our family, whether it is the house plant, or a flower pressing through a crack in the cement, or a beautiful field/forest. Nature is relentless, unstoppable. Isn't that GREAT to know... And since we are a part of nature, that means the life force within us TOO, is unstoppable.Live as if you're seeing everything for the first time!xoxoSolvei</div>New Week, let your light shine!!https://my.yoga-vidya.org/profiles/blogs/new-week-let-your-light-shine2009-08-03T05:44:55.000Z2009-08-03T05:44:55.000ZSolvei Kristin McKennahttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/members/SolveiKristinMcKenna<div>Hi my friends,This week, please stay alert and look for the magic, and the synchronicity that life will bring you. Remember, you are so talented with SO much to offer the world. Don't you DARE put yourself down... ever! Don't you DARE believe you can't accomplish something you feel passionate about. When you say, "I can't", you are saying you know better than the universe. I don't believe you are as limited as you may tell yourself at times. Be open, my friend :-) Leave the door open a tiny crack for "I can"...I don't know... sometimes it seems we forget that we are souls having a physical experience. And our biggest blessings were never store bought, no, they were so generously installed within us. The biggest gifts don't have a price tag. Life is beautiful. Embrace being open to new paths this week, and then... Buckle your seat belt, we're going for a ride! Yeyhhhh!!!!!xoxoSolveihttp://www.solvei-music.com</div>Hello beautiful soulshttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/profiles/blogs/hello-beautiful-souls2009-09-29T06:21:45.000Z2009-09-29T06:21:45.000ZSolvei Kristin McKennahttps://my.yoga-vidya.org/members/SolveiKristinMcKenna<div>How are you today? Feeling good? Whatever you are experiencing... it will pass. Yes, time washes us down this eventful river of life, and the key is to be fully present, as we travel. And where is is our emotional state while traveling? Are we creating a higher, vibrant life today or are we digging a hole of anger and frustration?If we only knew the POWER of our emotions, our feelings set the tone for our future. I've had some crappy days, and it is not easy, shifting my misery fest into one of appreciation, of love and of good vibrations, but it must be done, because nothing goes right when I feel shitty. It tends to attract more misery. I'm all for being honest, and feeling whatever is going on, swearing, yelling, whatever needs to be done, BUT then... it's time to snap out of it and FOCUS on something that makes me feel good! Anything... Now, what can you think about, right now that lifts your spirit, that makes you feel warm and happy inside? I know you got something..... remember, you are SO important in this world. You might think not, at times, but you are a very vital part in bringing our world into a more empowered and joyful place, through your attitude, through your love, through your talent, and being willing to keep your passion alive.I honor you, my friend. Thank you for reading :-)Solvei</div>
