Britt & Tara from High Vibe Livin on Kundalini, Mantras & Spirituality

unspecified

I recently heard Tara and Britt from High Vibe Livin when they were interviewed on the Soul on Fire podcast and could not get enough of their incredible energy. They seem so fun, but also have the ability to dive deep into the spiritual realm. I’d heard a little bit about Kundalini yoga before, but the way they described it on the podcast made me want to look up a class immediately. They seem to have “High Vibe Livin” figured out and I’m excited to share with you a peek into the lifestyle they live! Enjoy ♥♥♥

1) If you had to describe who you are in one sentence, what would you say?

2) How did you decide to start High Vibe Living and what is it?

High Vibe Livin is a lifestyle. It’s about the tools we use (like Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, Mantra, clean and non-toxic living, and more) to elevate the mind, body, and spirit daily so that your energy is vibrating on a high frequency.  When you feel positive high vibe emotions you feel great and will attract more health and happiness into your life. We look at everything from a vibrational standpoint and we are all about spirituality and wellness and want to share it with as many people as possible. We decided to start it because we both went through transformations, changed our habits and are now the happiest,  healthiest, and most spiritually connected we have ever been and we feel BEYOND passionate to inspire others to do the same. We feel it is our purpose and our mission to spread these messages and we are so thankful for the people who delivered pieces of the messages that changes our lives to us. It’s why we are here on the planet and we are so dedicated to being a part of elevating the consciousness of more humans!

3) When you picture your happiest life, what do you see?

Doing what we love, continuing to spread the messages of wellness and spirituality. Growing, learning, and evolving more everyday and sharing our journey with others along the way. Having time and location freedom, fulfilling our purpose, and living as our true selves.

4) What attracted you to teach Kundalini yoga?  

It completely changed our lives and so it was the natural next step.

5) Is it important to have a morning routine? What do your morning routines consist of?

Absolutely, we think it’s THE most important thing you can do because it starts your day in a high vibrational way so that you can be in the best possible emotion available for you and then you will attract that throughout your day. It also allows you to clear your subconscious mind and be more present. In Kundalini Yoga tradition it is done between 4-6am (ambrosial hours when the energy of the day is creating and when your conscious mind is the most calm). Our routine consists of tuning in to ourselves and the universe (Kundalini Adi Mantra), Gratitude, Breath of Fire, Kundalini Movement, and Meditation. We then drink smoothies, eat healthy breakfast and love to get outside and walk!

6) When you’re having a bad day, how do you pull yourself back up?

Step 1: We become aware of the EMOTION we are feeling (emotions are our best guide to measure our vibration)

Step 2: Ask the universe for guidance

Step 3: Practice tools to raise the vibration of our energy and emotions. We teach many of them (breathwork, meditation, grounding, etc.). The fastest way through is with feeling strong gratitude for what you currently have, bad days and all.

Step 4: Celebrate where we’re at and know every “bad day” is an opportunity to evolve. Repeat steps 1-4 whenever you need it.

7) What is your favorite mantra that continues to be relevant in your life and why?

“Today, no matter where I’m going, or what I’m doing, or who I’m doing it with – nothing is more important than that I feel good.

Today, I will look for what I want to see.

I am the creator of my own reality.

Right now, I will reach for the best feeling thought that I have access to.

Thought by thought, and feeling by feeling, I will focus the vibrations of my mind into alignment with my inner being.

I will feel for the true vibrational essence of my being, and I will guide my every thought into alignment, for that is the true meaning of a balancing of energy.”

So be it!

Esther and Jerry Hicks, from the teachings of Abraham

8) If you could tell your past self something 10 years ago, what would it be?

Everything happens in perfect timing and in perfect order. Everything that you are going through is for a purpose to take you where you need to go to fulfill your purpose in life. Challenges are opportunities for growth. Focus on yourself, your health, happiness and connection to this universe and you can and will manifest a beautiful life beyond your imagination.

Hi there! How’s your week going? I’ve decided to start a weekly column called “Awesome Things Thursday”. It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It will include things I’m loving and finding awesome this week. Hope you enjoy!

1. The Encinitas street fair with huge strawberries, to die for cookies like the Churro & Chocolate Covered Mint cookies from the Cravory, a juggling family performance, and a raffle ticket to win a car (fingers crossed!).

Top 14 Physical and Psychological Benefits of Meditation

Hi Happsters!

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately! I hope you’ve been as happy as ever!

Today I wanted to share some fascinating meditation facts with you. If you’ve never tried before, I highly suggest giving it a shot. I used the free app “Headspace“, which was created for beginners, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I love it because it starts you out with meditating 10 minutes a day for 10 days. They talk you through the whole thing and make it very easy to get started.

I’ve found that meditation helped me significantly reduce my stress levels. Meditation actually “activates the ‘rest and digest’ part of our nervous system, helping with stress management. Our heart rate slows, our respiration slows and our blood pressure drops. This is often called the ‘relaxation response.'” (Source)

I’ve compiled some of the physical benefits, as well as the psychological benefits of meditation below:
