There can be these lovely moments in savasana where we dissolve or “die.” Scintillating….
We come back to ourselves renewed. Something has change for the better, though we may hardly know what, and this is what keeps many of us who are hooked on yoga almost dying to come back!
The heat encourages some flowers to bloom.
So too the heat of yoga or the tapas can, at the right time and at the right amount, help us bloom.
Quite the opposite, too much heat can scorch tender petals.
Remember this as you practice!
There is beauty despite the fall.
This is nature’s way.
A flurry of life arising, and life falling.
Let your human heart rejoice and cry.
Let it celebrate this thing called life.
Your yoga and meditation practices can help you appreciate and feel its flow all the more deeply.
Breathe deep (at a social distance of course!) and enjoy… no, celebrate this thing called life!
Yoga is the pose…
and its resonance.
The peace and security of the Self is holding me,…
and has been all along.
Meditation and yoga are paths to help us come to know just this.
In meditation and yoga, we can start to become like the canvas, totally accepting what is painted on it.
The most radical change can be not trying to bring about change!
Many of my algorithms or patterns for everyday living have not worked very well during the pandemic.
I am reinvigorating and realigning my engagement with the practices and feeling their vital benefits, even during these strange and difficult times.
Their benefits are all the more noticeable and needed, desired, wanted… and appreciated–their support all the more sweet and kind!
The pandemic has deepened our friendship even more!
Thank you, yoga!
Wealth alone does not spawn generosity. But rather perceived abundance does.
May our yoga and mediation practices feed our hearts, our sense of well-being, and our good nature, and may we share them most generously.
Lion’s Breath and Laughing Lion are 2 poses that help engender our good humor in even the most difficult of circumstances.
A kind smile is like spreading glitter.
It sticks to everything!
We share the seeds we are so generously offered and receive from our yoga practice…
through all we do.
