It takes very little yeast to get the fermentation process started and the reaction beginning as the yeast feeds itself on the flour, in turn causing it to rise.
Very little yeast sets the reaction going.
Same too with the enlivened prana shakti. Through yoga and meditation, we can tap into this awakened energy, even just slightly, and it gets the reaction going that uplifts our hearts, our bodies, our minds… our lives… and those of the people around us.
Even just a little bit...
We all know the familiar expression, “you are what you eat.”
The same goes for thought. You are what focus on and think about, what you focus your thoughts and energy on.
When you think happy thoughts or about happy experiences, you feel happy. When your thoughts are sad, you will feel sad.
Instant karma. In the thought world, we immediately reap what we sow, instantaneously.
We are what we focus on or chew on.
Chew on this for a while!
How do you thank That* which supports you for a lifetime?
With infinite gratitude, that goes on like an endless hall of mirrors…
Yoga and meditation are the road and the road map to feel and know and explore this for life, and be infinitely grateful.
Go explore and be grateful!
*That–the life force, the prana shakti, the chi, the universal self… ever-present and ever-loving, compassionate, joyful, enthusiastic, scintillating… the heart of our being.
Yoga not only warms and stretches your muscles and bones, but also your heart and soul.
Keep this in mind as you practice and be thankful for all that the practices nourish.
The practices help us feel better. We practice for goodness sake!
Like open arms welcoming us with the warmth of the heart, the practices too welcome us wholeheartedly with what they have to offer.
Welcome!
What will they bring to you today?
The company of meditation and yoga–the energy that I meet–brings me back to practice daily.
Who doesn’t want to visit the best of company each day?*
It’s only a few minutes of meditation or a few poses away.
Always with you when you turn to it–uplifting, calming, centering, supportive!
Always with you!
*Who or what is this best of company? Some call it the prana or prana shakti, some call it the Self, the universal, our Buddha nature…
You don’t need a dating app to meet up and have your most intimate relationship.
Through yoga and meditation, you can meet the closest thing to you–the prana shakti, the life force.
So close… it’s being you… and me, and all of life all of the time!
Let’s get intimate, and through practice, deepen our most intimate relationship!
The life force, the Prana Shakti, is the master of disguises, always dressing itself in varied and often unexpected costumes, masks, and plays of varied forms and with very varied effects, some joyful and grand, some tender and poignant, others painful and horrible… a multitude of possibilities!
Our yoga and meditation can, over time, unmask this masterful and most creative player of all life’s infinite roles, this player of life–ALIVE WITH LIFE!
We are all having the time of our life right now–all of us.
Let’s make the most of it and share the best we can muster with ourselves, others, and the world.
Yoga and meditation can help us grow with this intention and align more with it… to have the time of our lives!
No mud, no lotus.
Note that the lotus does not get stuck or mired in the mud, but anchors in it to rise and bloom in all its loveliness.
