Dear One,

There are times when one feels one cannot go on. This is an idea from the ego mind and untrue.

I cannot = I will not.

It’s usually physical energy we think we have run out of, and the idea is so strong that it overrides the fact that energy is there all the time. But we block it with limiting ideas, such as “I have no energy” or “I have run out”.

The body is always in the present; it obeys what is on your mind.

The body does not have a future, so it obeys what’s in the mind in the Now Moment.

I was in a very crowded, in fact packed, cocktail party in Perth, WA and there was a chap called Rod the other side of the sofa, who I wanted to talk to. He was a diamond mining prospector – very attractive! If I leant over the back of the sofa, put my head on the seat, and kicked my legs up and over, I was sitting on the seat inches away from Rod. So, I carried on the roll and stood straight up. Rod looked surprised – no, shocked. But he got over it and we are still good friends.

This Manoeuvre would have gone badly wrong (skirt over my head – crashing into cocktails). But I planned the act and knew I could do it.

The same thing when I had chronic back trouble. Iyengar instructed me to practise an Asana, a certain asana every day, until I saw him again in a years’ time. I believed Iyengar and practised the asana every day of that year and it came true; my back was healed.  

Be careful what’s in your mind and what you believe in. If you want it enough, it will come true.

What’s your biggest desire?
