Thoughts from Vintage Yoga...

Everything is an Idea

Updated: Feb 23




These words from “A Course in Miracles” resonated with me this morning and I felt compelled to share them with you.


“…your mind cannot have what it does not choose to be.” ACIM 5: 1.4


If you share physical possession, you divide its ownership. If you share an idea, however, you do not lessen it.” ACIM 5: 1.10-11


In fact, it (an idea) has the potential to magnify or grow. For example, gossip. If it’s juicy enough, it can spread rapidly. OR the words “I love you” or “WOW! You look beautiful!” When I hear those words, I can feel them spreading through me, lifting me up, filling me with joy and confidence.


“…the world is one of ideas.” ACIM 5: 1.14


Everything is an idea. Thoughts increase by being given awayThe more who believe in them the stronger they become.ACIM 5: 2.4,3,2


These words inspired questions for myself, which I thought may be useful for you too.

  • What thoughts am I believing?

  • What thoughts am I giving away?


Am I giving aways thoughts that will make myself and others feel uplifted or am I giving away negativity?


  • What am I believing about myself and others?

  • How are my thoughts affecting the way I feel about myself and others?


I think sometimes we don’t realize the power of our thoughts. But when I reflect on my daily interactions, I see that how I am feeling is directly connected to how I am thinking about myself and those around me.


My Self-Love Journey” last year helped me recognize this and the words from A Course in Miracles this morning reminded me of that. It reminded me of the power of ideas and thoughts.


So today, I love and accept myself just as I am at this point in my life. I also want to remind you that you are right where you need to be on your journey too! You are enough and you are loved. Your mind cannot have what it does not choose to be. Choose to believe these ideas about yourself and give them away to the people around you because the more you believe it the stronger it becomes for you and everyone around you.


What ideas will you choose to spread today?


With Love & Gratitude,
