The Yoga of Abundance

Wouldn't it be great if money brought happiness, not stress, no matter how much money you had?

Forget everything you know about money.

The Yoga of Abundance can change your money blueprint. You'll learn to enjoy spending money. LOTS of money.

How will you do that on your limited budget? Open your mind and your Magic Wallet, say authors Abraham-Hicks in their book, Ask and It Is Given.

I took the Challenge for a full year, and it is brilliant. Here's how it worked for me...

My Abundant Year

I did this Yoga of Abundance Challenge for a full year; if you follow the rules of the game, you will have spent $66 Million Dollars. I did. Here are some of my favorite Magic purchases:

• Vacation for three months in Italy
• A Jackson Pollock Painting
• Golden Goose Accounts for my kids
• A condo in Brooklyn and a Pied A Terre in Manhattan
• Designer shoes - Manolo Blahnik in particular
• Freedom Foundation - My charity organization

...and here is what materialized for me during that year:

Why women stress more than men.

Women are more stressed than their male counterparts.

Sorry, gals, but it seems to be true

Women are more vulnerable to feeling sadness and anxiety, according to research, as the pressures of stress mount at work and at home.

You know what I'm talking about. Stress keeps you paralyzed; it  awake at night; it even keeps you away from what you helps you to relax - hot yoga class  - and instead keeps you engaged in the fruitless exercise of worrying or feeling guilty - spinning you downward.

Aha, so relaxation IS productive!

Once again, modern science catches up with ancient yoga. The latest good news: working more doesn't make you more productive... relaxing more does.

Yup - "easy does it" is not just a hot yoga instruction; it's a scientific fact.

As athletes understand especially well, the greater the performance demand, the greater the need for renewal. When we’re under pressure, however, most of us experience the opposite impulse: to push harder rather than rest. - Tony Schwartz, author

We love telling you this as you tell us that you missed hot yoga because you had to work overtime and it's tax season and you couldn't leave work til that project was completed and you just had too much to do and not enough time. You blame your busy schedule, and who could blame you? Here's what your life looks like:

How To Love Hot Yoga Haters

Hot yoga is something people love to get hot about.

They either love you for bringing them to their first hot yoga class, or they hate you and hot yoga which is not at all like their real yoga classes, where they are told to just do whatever feels good.
