When you have an ev, you periodically need to stop and charge up.

The same is true for all of us. We start to run out of fuel or get low on energy and need to get charged up.

As your ev charges, why not use the time for you to get the life force flowing and get recharged with a few yoga poses?!

Before that hour on-line business meeting, a few poses during a break at work or at the end of the day when you first get home… the gaps to practice are endless to recharge if you just stop and do a few poses.

Find the spaces to practice every day, and keep yourself running well!

A near impossible task, finding a needle in a haystack. However, a small pulsating bright light in a haystack would be far easier to find.

Such is the Self, the universal within us.

Through the practices, we search the “haystack” of our being and daily lives, knowing the “needle” is there, at points feeling its presence–its uplifting energy, its joy, love, and compassion.

This is the journey, abundant with grace, as we put forth our best effort to find our needle in the haystack.

Blessings are energetic love packages, compassion sent into the world.

These pulsations of love that offer aid and support are developed through our yoga and meditation practices.

This is one way the benefits of our practice stretch way beyond ourselves to others and into the world.

You are the only version of the life force that has ever existed.

You are unique. Unique–each and every one of us.

All of us the same life force, the same source, but unique creations and expressions of this force.

Through yoga and meditation, we develop and grow our relationship with this force. We pay homage to it and its creation.

There is a force, the life force, the prana shakti, that we come to know more intimately through yoga and meditation.

Life in the raw is this force in and of itself, unadorned before it takes on any form… as a thought, a feeling, action, or as a substantial object or thing. It enlivens and creates everything and all of us–our very cells, our breath, our heartbeat… our ego… the birds and flowers… Asians, Africans, Middle Easterners… it is our common bond, this raw stuff of life that intertwines us in its web, the web of life.

Pulsing and scintillatingly lively, the stuff of life we come know more and more through yoga and meditation–life in the raw!

In yoga, we do poses….

but it’s not about poses at all.

There are forms or positions we move into, and through, and out of.

Just as there are roles and situations and events in life we move into and through and out of.

Life is change, nothing static but that. No poses to achieve.

Wow, no more posin’! Just movin’ through it….

As a bee to nectar, we are attracted to the sweetness of yoga and meditation.

Take a sip… many sips as you practice.

Sweet!

I have a confession to make. I thought it time I totally come clean with you.

You probably couldn’t tell. I’m high a lot of the time, and when I’m not, I’m looking for my next fix. I am a user.

Yes, I am an addict–completely obsessed, hooked for life!

Yoga and meditation are my suppliers. They have the really good stuff, man… that pulls me deeper and deeper into the life force, the prana shakti.

Do not try to help me. I am hopelessly hooked for life… on life!

There’s a natural tendency as we get older, especially from 60 onward, to shrink, to hunch over more, for our body to dry out, to get stiffer joints and muscles, to get smaller… even to contract our world view.

Yoga and meditation can help counter this–as we stretch into poses, lubricate our joints, our muscles, and our organs through movement, and expand our world view and enlarge the vision of our heart as we feel the universal life force.

Yes, we will still age, but in a whole new way.

What will it be like to age in this way, to expand into aging?

Join me in practicing, and let the experiment begin!

Needless to say, the life force, the energy of the universe, is very powerful stuff!

Over time as we practice yoga and meditation, it’s as though a bigger breaker is installed in our connection to the life force, the prana.

The energy we can handle or run, that can flow through us feels more, a higher amperage, if you will.

The practices manage all this like a master electrician, keeping us current with the current of the life force amping us up as we are ready and able to handle it.
