Often in yoga class, when students repeatedly find it difficult to hold a pose, the teacher may suggest that if they are having a difficult time finding balance in the asana, perhaps they ought to reflect on the imbalances in their own lives. How can we find a universal sense of balance and align our chakras and stars so we can finally be one with the universal laws that guide us?

The Universe tells us its own story as to how it was created and from what it is built upon. It shares with us that everything is energy, including us. All of our thoughts, words, feelings and actions are energy. Within energy there is a natural order and a Universal structure. Energy moves in a circular fashion so what goes around, comes around. Each type of energy has its unique patterns, cycles and rhythm.

To assist with the construct of the Universe, there are Universal Laws, which are the principles and structure that facilitate order, co-creation and manifestation. Universal Laws are immutable. They are the means by which we continue to exist and can thrive, rather than merely survive. As we learn how to honor, respect and integrate the principles of the Universal Laws, we can truly claim and create prosperity and abundance within all aspects of our lives.

Although it may seem daunting to conceive of, the answer is simple and magical:

• Do what is in front of you. 

• Be kind to yourself and to others in mind and in action.

• Be present and participate.

Listen to the Universe as it speaks to you throughout your entire day. It speaks to you through your body and every inspiration in every moment of every day. It will guide and support you in aligning yourself with balance and peace. 

The Universal Laws are a road map for how to harmonize, integrate and align all aspects of your life with your Higher (Divine) Self and Highest Order. It is essential that you understand how to do this within your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies of consciousness so you can thrive and manifest what you truly desire.

The Universal Laws are there for us to utilize. They are not only the framework to create from within as well as chart our roadmap to manifestation; they are also our gifts from the Universe. Be willing to receive them and consciously choose to use them; it’s your choice whether you want to just survive or abundantly thrive.
