BRILLIANT!

That's the word supermodel, Iman, used to describe intenSati on yesterday's episode of the Wendy Williams show!  See link below to watch the clip.  FUN!!

One of the main ideas behind intenSati is "thoughts become things"!!  And our actions, therefore, are our beliefs in motion.  So rather than looking out and blaming external factors for your circumstances, can you instead look within and examine your beliefs about your self and your dreams?  It's not as easy to do, but it sure is much more empowering!  When we align our thoughts and attitudes, taking action toward our dreams becomes easier to do!  It's not just what we do that matters!  It's what we believe about ourselves that matter more!  It all starts with our thoughts.  In intenSati we challenge our old, limiting beliefs by saying positive affirmations out loud.  We do this to reprogram that inner voice that is full of doubt, fear, worry, regret.  And we practice new thoughts that  empower, inspire, and elevate our being! 

I particularly love the lower body portion of this month's SHINE series:

What I sow is what I reap
All I need is within me
I have the power to choose
To believe in my dreams

With love,
Triccia

Sati with me either on Thursday 6PM Ripley Grier 520 8th Avenue OR Saturday (this week only) 8AM Powerhouse Gym in Bridgewater, NJ

10.10.10

Can you believe it's October? 2010 is going full speed ahead! This past Sunday was 10/10/10. And while I'm sure those numbers have varying meanings to many people, I got to thinking about those numbers and wondered am I living a 10/10/10 in Love, Career, Health? Am I playing big in all 3 areas? Am I pursuing my dreams wholeheartedly with passion, excitement, and enthusiasm? To be honest the answer is no, I am not! I know exactly where I am playing big and where I have been playing small! However, I am committing to playing full out for the rest of 2010 in the above mentioned areas! Over the next few days I am calling in clarity as I set my intentions by remembering WHY I want what I want in the above areas. I am calling in peace of mind as I accept and embrace where I am today as the starting point for this journey, reminding myself that my power is in the present moment. I will then be putting together an action plan that is best suited to have me feeling, and being my best self. This is a tall order I know. And I am willing to go for it with a full knowing that what I want is already here for me! And this I believe.

How about you? What areas of your life are you going after and are you ready to achieve greater success and confidence? The decision to go for greatness takes courage and a lot of heart! The great thing about this is that I am not alone and neither are you! In intenSati we affirm our willingness to take responsibility for our lives and by doing so we lift ourselves up! And when we are uplifted, we consequently uplift and inspire others around as too! This is why people love coming to an intenSati class! We actually refer to it as a Practice. It is a way of being. Deliberately choosing our thoughts, emotions and actions to manifest our dreams takes practice and lots of love. If this sounds good to you, then do yourself a favor and show up for yourself! Show up to be inspired by inspiring someone else!

So how about it? Are you willing to go for your 10/10/10 in 2010? Join me and other powerful Sati Warriors every Thursday 6pm at Ripley Grier at 520 8th Avenue bet 36th/37th St. Class is $15 or 4 for $50. Want an even better deal? Class is FREE for you if you bring a friend who has never SATI'ed before!

Much Love to You!

This month we are doing the ABUNDANCE series! I have posted the words on my FB group intenSati with Triccia Wall.


***Still some spots left for this Sunday's Warrior Body Urban Retreat. Join intenSati creator, Patricia Moreno and HG Life Coaching for a special one day urban retreat this Sunday, Oct 17th! I attended one of these in April of '08 and since that day, I knew my life would never be the same!!

Abundance is the WORD

This Fall season what are you wanting?  What are you expecting?  And are you allowing all good to come to you? 

You see, it all starts with appreciating what we already have.  When we resonate with what we have achieved or accomplished, and we notice the abundance already in our lives, we magnify that energy and the Universe brings forth to us more of the same!  The fall season is about harvesting our experiences from the spring season of goals and the summer season of activities!  So take a moment to acknowledge what is all around you.  Take a moment to be and feel contentment knowing that divine order has been established and you are exactly where you are supposed to be right now.

This idea is so close to my heart right now.  I was feeling disappointed about not getting a regularly scheduled class at Equinox for Oct/Nov/Dec.  How it works is they put out schedules on a quarterly basis.  So any sort of teaching I do at Equinox will be on a substitute basis, for now.  So I thought about it and I realize the disappointment I was feeling is really more about my insecurities and doubts about whether or not I am good enough to be there, good enough to have a class etc.  Thank goodness for Sati, because I actually caught myself with these negative self-defeating thoughts.  You see we are the thinker, we are not the thoughts.  And so I am actively choosing thoughts that empower me.  I know I AM good enough, I AM enough!  I AM ALREADY HIRED!  Duh!!!   I know you must think I'm being silly right now, but I assure you I am not alone:)  I wish I was in class right now to see some of you nodding your heads in agreement because you know you have your own share of silly thoughts about yourself:)  What about you?  What self defeating thoughts or limiting beliefs are keeping you from resonating with your abundance right now?  There's a line in this month's series where we say, I WILL IMPROVE MY MOOD, I WILL CHANGE MY ATTITUDE!  I WILL LIGHTEN UP, I WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER!  So I invite you to do the same!  Join me in class as we resonate with abundant energy!  WHEN I FEEL ABUNDANT, ABUNDANCE FINDS ME!

intenSati with Triccia is Thursdays 6pm at Ripley Grier Studios on 520 8th Avenue bet 36th and 37th Street Room 16K




Well now that all the silliness is out of the way, I want to take some time to celebrate the ABUNDANCE of opportunity for you to take intenSati classes where ever and whenever!  YESS intenSati is THAT GOOD and you need waste no more time and get yourself to class!  IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Thoughts Become Things--Mike Dooley

This month I am reading the book,  Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams by Mike Dooley.  The author does an excellent job of simplifying the idea that our "thoughts become things."  He says that by directing our thinking, we can direct our experience.  Just in these past couple of weeks, I've had the fortune of putting these ideas to work.  And although scary and nerve-wracking at first, just like anything else, the more I practiced my "new thoughts" the easier it became to Be-Live them! 

For example, just three weeks ago I had never entertained the idea of teaching intenSati at Equinox.  Many of you know that I have been a member there for over a year and a half now and that it is the only gym in NYC that offers intenSati.  So when my friend Nesty asked me if I would teach there at the end of my Sati leader training, I quickly responded, "Oh me? No! No, I'm not that! I'm not that good! People who teach there are the best! They're perfect! I have love handles!"  Yes I said all of those things and probably more!  Nesty who has been coming to my intenSati classes at Ripley Grier couldn't believe what he was hearing and what I was saying, and so he started saying some of our affirmations and series one liners back to me to show me how silly I was.  Thank you Nesty!  I had to admit, he had a point!  The date was Tuesday, July 27th.


Two days later at my intenSati class, I shared with my students my willingness to practice a new thought, to think a new idea which involved me teaching at Equinox.  I was willing to believe differently of myself.  And it felt good.  This was on Thursday, July 29th.

Three days later, I received an email from Patricia Moreno informing me that she included my name on a list of people she was recommending to audition at Equinox.  WHATTTT?  Whoa, Universe that was quick!  The date was Sunday, Aug 1st!


Upon reading Patricia's email, I quickly emailed the person best suited to get me ready for the audition, and made an appointment.  A week later, I had a private coaching session with intenSati premier leader, Erika Shannon.  So giving, and so empowering, Erika reminded me that I HAD what it takes.  She convinced me that I had the power and precision behind my moves, the passion behind my voice, that I am FUN, and that these were all qualities important in getting hired.  Yes, these are all ideas I already believed to be true.  But my doubts were in full effect, which happens whenever I go to the edge of my comfort zone!  Erika's bad ass attitude definitely rubbed off on me, in a positive way of course.  And by the end of that hour, I was READY!  The date was Aug 8th!


Tuesday, Aug 10th I ROCKED THE AUDITION!  I knew I did my best and I walked out of there feeling SUCCESS-full knowing that I had now become someone greater than I was 2 weeks prior.  I now had a different belief about myself.  A more empowering one!  They said we would hear within 2 weeks if we are hired.  I felt awesome!  Whether or not I get hired wasn't as important as who I had become along the process.  My self-imposed limiting beliefs had been lifted.  Aaahhhh!  I BELIEVE IN MY SUCCESS and I WILL KEEP THE FAITH! 

Tuesday, Aug 17th, email from Mark Hendricks--I GOT THE JOB!!!  Whew-HOO!!!  YESSSS! 


Thoughts Become Things!  By directing our minds, we direct our experience! 

In intenSati, we use our mind as our source of power!  We are FREE to CHOOSE what we see.  And we have FAITH that it is all working out....One of my favorite affirmations that Patricia uses, "When I honor myself, the world shifts around me."

Hope to see you tonight at 520 Ripley Grier!  Life is GOOD!  Let's CELEBRATE!

With Love,
Triccia

My intenSati FIRSTS

July so far has been full of new experiences for me.  I vowed at the beginning of the month to do many things that would make me feel uncomfortable while enjoying myself during the process.  I wanted to have to be alert, aware, and present.  No auto-pilot here.  So every single week for the past 4 weeks I did at least one thing out of the ordinary.  Here's a list of some of my "intenSati Firsts."

1. Led intenSati at Lululemon Athletica in Houston, TX.  It was my first time leading in Lululemon and that particular store's first experience with intenSati.  Only 1 out of 25 people that were there had taken the class before so there were lots of Firsts!  Also, my parents and other family members came to watch and it was their First time seeing what this was about, my First time doing it in front of them.  I was nervous in the beginning, but the more I smiled the better I felt.  My mom did a great job videotaping parts of the class which I've posted on my intenSati with Triccia group page on Facebook.  Make sure you check it out!
2. A few days after that I subbed an intenSati class at Powerhouse Gym in Bridgewater, NJ for the beautiful and amazing Tiffany Knight.  Check out her blog http://www.evolve-ing.com/ There were over 30 people and it was so exhilarating and I loved every minute of it!  It was my First time in a gym environment and I now know in my heart that I want to lead intenSati classes at health clubs.  And so I will!  Watch out world, here I come!!  The options are endless and it is so exciting! 
3.  A few days after, I led a class during a Lululemon trunk show at Core, Mind, and Body  a Pilates studio in Maplewood, NJ.  I did have some students who lived in the area and so it was comforting to see their familiar faces, and it was equally thrilling to meet those who were going to be taking the class for the First time.  Throughout the class there was that essence of discovery.  There were many moments during the class when different people would have that look on their face of "wow, this is great! I feel great! I am strong!  I am Unstoppable!" There were breakthroughs!  It was beautiful!
4. Tonight I led a class for the You Can Thrive organization, a non-profit integrative wellness group helping breast cancer survivors reduce symptoms and gain survivorship tools.  It was my First time leading a class where I had to modify each move.  After rehearsing it in my head, in was actually easier than I thought.  It was amazing to witness these women claiming their power, sticking to it, being survivors and proving that they were unstoppable!    I am so inspired and honored to be a part of this.  They kept thanking me at the end of class, but in reality I cannot thank them enough....These classes will continue through the month of August.  Class is FREE for cancer patients, survivors, caretakers and YCT volunteers.  The class is open to the public for a $10 donation towards the YCT organization.  What a great way to support a worthy cause.  Join me on Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm at the Sandra Cameron Dance Center at 199 Lafayette St in Soho.

What a month it's been so far!  And I feel as though I am just getting warmed up!  This is just the beginning and I am certain that the more I go to the edge of my comfort zone, the more I grow, the stronger I get.  And with each new endeavor, my courage and confidence in myself and my life grows.  And so does my appreciation of my life and of others.  As a result, my classes are growing thanks to you and your enthusiasm.  Please keep telling your friends and your family about this amazing practice.  Share it with them.  Remember class is $10 and FREE for you if you bring a friend who will be taking intenSati for the FIRST time!

There's no better time than the present to do something for the First time!  If not now, when?

This week is the last week of the UNSTOPPABLE series!  Join me Wednesdays and Thursdays at 520 Ripley Grier Studios 6-7PM.

Are you willing to feel Great?

Based on my Sati Leader homework for this month, I challenged myself to repeat the following affirmation first thing every morning. 

“Today I choose to embrace my life, all others and myself exactly as we are. My goal is to feel great today.” 

What I am noticing is that on days when I'm really hard on myself, I am also being hard on others.  Simply put, when I am feeling great and appreciative of my life, I am more accepting of everyone else around me too.  I am realizing that I really do project my inner thoughts and feelings onto the outside world and that is what I experience.  In the intensati warm up we say, "Every day in a very true way, I co-create my reality..."  We begin each class with these words as a reminder that we are responsible for our experience no matter how good or how bad they may be.  Put another way, what we think about and how we feel about ourselves will affect our relationships, our experience, and ultimately the quality of our lives.  And so if I want to have a great day, I begin by setting the intention to feel great.  Sounds simple right?  Well it is.  IF you choose it.

 

Since our Minds are our source of either power or pain, I want to reflect on a particular line in this  month's series where we say, " I have will power now, all negative thoughts can stop right now!"  Practicing Sati, a Buddhist term meaning "mindfulness" or constant presence of mind, means being aware of your thoughts as you are thinking them.  It means being able to choose a different thought when the one you are currently thinking is not bringing you the results you DESIRE.  And this takes DISCIPLINE.  It takes WILL-POWER and SELF-CONTROL to change your perspective.  If you are not achieving what you want to achieve in a particular area of your life, ask yourself what old habit or old thinking may be keeping you stuck.  And are you willing to do or think differently?  Are you willing to change your mind?   A good indication of whether or not your thoughts are working for you and not against you is to pay attention to how you are feeling while you are thinking them.  Are you stressed? Tense? Experiencing pain of some sort?  Or do you feel light, energetic, boundless? 

 

This month I am reading You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay and I highly recommend it for anyone who is willing to have a breakthrough.  If you are tired of not going for something because you are living in fear or failure or rejection, or you are worried it may not work out so you're full of self doubt, surprise yourself and DO IT anyway!!  And then do it again.  It only gets easier each time!  Only you have the power to set yourself free, to reach for your highest potential, and to be

UNSTOPPABLE!

IntenSati with Triccia is on Wednesdays and Thursdays 6-7pm.  Class is $10 or $40/6 and FREE if you bring a friend who has never taken intenSati before.  It is at 520 Ripley Grier Studios on 8th Avenue bet 36th and 37th St.  

 

***For the rest of the summer, we are happily sharing the intenSati practice with You Can Thrive www.youcanthrive.org an NYC non profit integrative wellness group helping breast cancer survivors reduce symptoms and gain survivorship and prevention tools.  This class is free of charge for cancer patients, survivors, their caretakers and YCT volunteers, and is open to the public for a donation of $10 which will go towards this worthy organization.  Classes will be on Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm at the Sandra Cameron Dance Studio Center on 199 Lafayette St bet Kenmare and Broome.  I will be teaching on July 27th, Aug 17th, 24th and 31st. 

Many of you have been coming to class regularly and I see you are getting better and better in every way!  You are expressing more confidence in your moves and your voices are getting louder!  I am loving our time together so thank YOU!!

Thank You

The greatest gift I continue to receive from the intenSati practice is the opening of my heart.  I literally feel myself unfolding, blossoming with every class I take with intenSati creator, Patricia Moreno, and top leaders, Natalia M.P., Erika Shannon, Erin Stutland, Betsy Cast, and Lindsay Davis.  It is a truly beautiful process and I am grateful each time for each leaders' courage.  Class after class they allow their vulnerabilities to come through as they share their journeys with us.  As many of you may know, this is more than just a fitness class.  It is a total transformative experience that unifies your heart, body, and mind. 

What is just as inspiring to me is the experience of watching someone else unfold...And that's what I get to witness every time I teach this powerful practice.  Different affirmations impact different people at different times.  And no matter what each individual's intention may be, there is a definite energy shift that takes place in the room every time someone goes to the edge of their comfort zone and experiences a breakthrough.  At the end of each intenSati class, I am overwhelmed by the gratitude that is extended to me by the beautiful Warriors.  I am fulfilled as I watch everyone feeling much lighter, more joyous, and more confident in themselves. 

As I begin my 5th month of leader training, I want to express the gratitude and appreciation I FEEL for the Ahhhhh-mazing souls who come to class and share that hour of power with me.  THANK YOU!  I am honored that you allow me to bring the gifts of this practice to you, and for your willingness to choose a different way of thinking, a different way of exercising, a different way of having fun while loving and caring for yourselves.  I am blessed. Because of you, I continue to give my very best and my best keeps getting better.  Thank you.

  

***ONLY ONE CHANCE for intenSati with Triccia THIS WEEK!  See you Wednesday, July 7th at 6pm at 520 Ripley Grier for the debut of the "Unstoppable" series.  There will be no Thursday class.  I will be in Houston, TX visiting with my family and spreading the Sati love to Houston Warriors!  To stay updated with all Sati related news and events, please join the I love intenSati page on Facebook.

“Today I choose to embrace my life, all others and myself exactly as we are. My goal is to feel great today.”  

With love,

Triccia
