Yoga and meditation can bring us home
to the depths within us
that know no bounds.
This boundless nature has taken form as each and every one of us. The formless that knows no bounds takes form as you and me, as all of us.
Through the practices, we explore these depths.
We cannot hold onto our center.
There is no velcro to hold us fast nor any handles to grip onto.
However, the center is always with us amidst life’s tumult. It loyally sticks with us, no matter what. At times, we are the ones who lose touch with it.
Through yoga and meditation, we can remember this center, we can return to it again and again, and we can deepen our relationship with it. We learn to love this center, the universal within us all.
No, we cannot hold it.
But with gratitude, joy, and love, we can behold it.
The kaleidoscope’s pieces are in an ever-changing state of disarray.
And yet we marvel at its beauty with its turn.
Meditation and yoga can help us gain such a vision of this ever-changing life.
We can learn to marvel at the beauty with each turn of events.
Such is life. and so it will always be, ever-changing.
The practices can not only help us adapt to this, but to see the beauty in each turn!
Stuck in a rut? Does every day seem the same, or are you in the doldrums?
Want to live with more enthusiasm? With more energy? With more positivity? If so, yoga and mediation can help.
The practices will help you wake up to the new day…
because it is!
Yoga and meditation with their inner focus can provide the solitude that revives our connection to that which is bigger than ourselves and that we all equally share.
Naturalists like John Muir know that connection with nature can revive us.
Through the practices, as we connect to our deepest nature, we revive our bodies, our spirits, and our minds.
It is in this deepest connection that we find out we are not alone at all but deeply interconnected.
Practice yoga and meditation and connect to our deepest nature… and revive!
Happiness is fleeting like a dog running in circles chasing its own tail.
Yoga and meditation can help us slow down and stop the chase and realize the satisfaction of “catching our tail” is already, and always has been, with us.
Through yoga and meditation, we make the effort to turn towards the light.
As we practice, we open our bodies, minds, and hearts to the power of practice.
Like a boat with its sails filled by the wind. we, with our unfurled being, are carried by grace… carried away by love.
The same power of the universe that flies and buzzes the bee is at the base of our spine and flows through us becoming us.
Buzz, buzzzzzz!
Even if we do not have a sweet tooth, we all like something sweet.
Such are the blessings of our yoga and meditation practice.
The practices hit our sweet spot. We can feel it. Think the end of class or what we notice after a good meditation.
We know this space from practice, and we can return to it again and again, not only in actual practice but versions of it in our lives.
This is the space of grace. We are graced by it echoing throughout our lives and sharing it with others.
Sweet!
The Light we encounter in yoga and meditation is different from that of the sun or a light bulb.
The latter naturally casts shadows.
But not the Light of yoga. It subsumes shadows, as well as the objects that could cast them.
The world scintillates with this Light. It lives this world from the inside out.
