The Fire Within: What the Universe Keeps Reminding Me
Have you ever felt like the universe is sending you the same message on repeat?
Maybe you start noticing a symbol that holds meaning for you—like a butterfly—fluttering into your awareness again and again. Maybe it’s the same time on the clock, like 11:11, blinking back at you until it can’t be ignored. Maybe it’s subtle comments, patterns, or synchronicities, gently nudging you toward a truth you already know but haven’t yet claimed.
Lately, I’ve felt like I’m in the middle of one of those cosmic conversations. And while I haven’t fully decoded the message yet, I know it’s powerful—and worth sharing.
This May, my yoga classes have revolved (pun intended) around the theme of revolution—not just politically, but physically and spiritually. We've been exploring twists and revolved postures, many of which spiral around the solar plexus chakra—the energy center of personal power, transformation, and inner fire.
At the same time, I’ve been feeling called—deep in my bones—to step more fully into my path as a wellness professional. I’ve been setting powerful intentions to dedicate myself to yoga, hair, and healing arts full time. And just like the revolved asanas we’ve been practicing, life has been asking me to twist and stretch and see things from new perspectives.
And the messages keep coming.
Recently, I had coffee with a new friend. As she shared her story, she recalled a pivotal moment when she told her son, “We get to be our own boss.” They were considering a cross-country move, and her son was unsure. Her reply struck me to my core—because it reminded me that freedom isn’t something we’re given; it’s something we claim.
A few days later, I was on stage at the Limitless Variety Show, weaving a bit of group hypnosis between acts. Afterward, a woman approached me, curious about what I do. I guided her through a short hypnotic journey to help her hear what she needed to live her fullest life.
When she emerged, she looked at me and said:
“Thank you. Sometimes I just need to be reminded—and it’s hard to hear it from others, so it was nice to hear it from myself.”
That hit me hard.
Because don’t we all need that? A reminder from within? A moment where our soul says:
You are the alchemist of your life. The fire is already inside you.
Transformation doesn’t come from the outside in. It’s ignited from within. Whether you call it tapas in yogic philosophy or willpower or divine fire, it’s the spark that says, I can. I will. I already am.
In yoga, we align the body (our past), the mind (our future), and the soul (the eternal present). When these three aspects move in harmony, we unlock a flow state where transformation becomes not only possible—but inevitable.
So this is your invitation.
Let’s align.
Let’s twist, turn, and transform together.
Let’s stoke that inner fire and burn away the doubt, the fear, the hesitation.
Let’s remember: we are powerful, we are limitless, and we are the creators of our reality.
Join me on the mat—or wherever our paths may cross—and let’s answer the universe together.
With love and fire,
Aza
