The chatter of our minds is abuzz with all kinds of thoughts and accompanying emotions and feelings.

Who will I pay attention to in this noisy room as they all vie for my limited attention and energy?

We can practice mindfully choosing which ones we put into action.

We can put our best efforts to mindfully choose those that uplift us and others–compassion, love, and joy…. to develop and act more and more on these in our lives.

Through meditation and yoga we can grow this capability.

Now this is a very worthy practice, don’t you think?

At the bottom of the core from the base of the spine arises the amazing power, the kundalini shakti.

Most digestion and absorption of food energy and nutrients occur in the core.

Our hips and pelvis from which our legs descend and our torso ascends are the fundamental bony structures holding and protecting our core.

The core is the source of our gut know-how.

Tend your core through yoga–strengthen and stretch it.

Thank your core!

It is, after all, the core of your being!

 

 

 

 

Golfers and tennis and baseball players know it.  The sweet spot.  A ball hit just right, or pretty dang close to it.

Almost effortless action, it feels so good.

Yoga and meditation can carry us into this space–the sweet spot.

And just as a player practices to get more shots or hits in this zone, the goal is to have  even poor shots not so far off the mark.

This takes lots of practice.

We practice meditation and yoga not only for its immediate benefits but for how it helps us live our daily lives.

Meditate and do yoga regularly.  Practice to find your sweet spot.

This practice can help you live so that even your poor shots or actions are in closer proximity to the zone–the sweet spot!

Controlling the uncontrollable…

Limiting the unlimited…

Containing the uncontainable…

Fathoming the unfathomable….

Meditate!

Just a step beyond…

lies limitless love, overwhelming love!

Coffee brews, stew stews…

Kombucha, wine, and beer ferment as do pickles and krauts.

It might seem like nothing is happening… or change can be rapid, almost instantaneous.

Yogic and meditation transformation is no different.

We have a lifetime… no more, no less.

If now is timeless, and meditation and yoga help you experience or be more present to the present,

then meditate, do yoga…

and have the time of your life!

Woo-hoo!

 

Love’s limitless expanse knows no horizon.

It will blow your mind!

Every moment is a birthday moment for the life force as it flows through us.

You needn’t blow out candles or bake a cake, but stop every once in awhile and offer your thanks to that which enlivens you, me, nature….

Happy birthday to you, life!

Namaste!

Unlike Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones, a grateful heart finds satisfaction.

It all depends on what you practice….

 

 

 

 

Meditation is like lowering our bucket into a bottomless well, our never knowing quite what it will come up with.

At times, our bucket comes up seemingly filled with nothing and yet overflowing with bliss–scintillating liquid-like light that spreads through our being, and beyond!
