It is easy to find what is wrong and be weighed down by perpetual and persistent grumpiness.
Regular meditation and yoga can lift us out of this mire of negativity.
They can refocus us on what is right with the world, on what is beautiful.
They can open us to our persistent joy.
We have all heard of killing someone with kindness.
Well, yoga and meditation can wear us down with infusions of joy and happiness, of love and bliss.
Their friction with this world and with our world creates our life’s journey, our sadhana, and our transformation.
Yoga and meditation have always been the clearing in the woods where even the slightest bit of light has been able to shine through.
And thank goodness for this!
Yoga helps to bring things into balance.
At times, this is like an elephant trying to balance on a tight rope or a ball.
Difficult, but with training,with practice, not impossible.
May the belly-ache of laughter be a salve for the aches and pains of life.
And joy, love, and bliss an antidote for anger, fear, and sadness.
And compassion their messenger!
Return to the beauty of stillness like a homing pigeon.
Smile as you return home again and again with regular practice.
Exquisite stillness!
May your yoga be a retreat, a place to restore, to renew.
A place to reaffirm, to realign.
Your Om home!
Bloom from your presence of being!
Find your seat in this moment and grow.
Compassion like the sun finds us as we are and equally shines on everyone.
So too the inner smile.
The light of compassion and the inner smile are one and the same.
The inner smile can help you not be so reactive to strong ego patterns of emotions like fear and anger.
A smile, and even a laugh, can put them on hold from auto-response.
The inner smile can be a real show-stopper!…
An inner game-changer!
