Like vapor, these thoughts and feelings…

come,

and go….

It’s hard to call any of this mine.

Breath, we are partners for life!

Listening to silence is another oxymoron.

“Yoga is a journey…” blah, blah, blah!

Yoga-speak can often shroud yoga’s real mystery and power.

Yoga is a journey, not a destination.

Yoga is a trip, a real trip!

It takes you to places heretofore unknown.

“Wheels up!…”

Thank you, silence!  You’re the first not to try to impress me with what you have to say or do.

Nothing is important enough for you to say or to do.

Nothing at all…

I know you are there, silence, quietly in the midst of everything.

Our thoughts and feelings mirror our state.

Meditation and yoga allow us to “see” the mirror, and over time to cultivate those patterns and habits that engender greater joy, happiness, and love and to trim, alter, or eliminate those that hinder this.

Every day when I wake up, I meditate.

It’s such a wonderful way to start the day, feeling the life force, the prana.

A natural enthusiasm arises like that of child greeting the new day.

Through meditation and yoga, we forge our most intimate of relationships with our self, and in turn with others.

Meditation and yoga develop our subtle preceptors.

As the practices settle the turbulence of our mind and body,

in the resulting stillness,

we explore!

With spring, we can feel the activity of the animals and the plants.  And in yoga and meditation, our vital energy feels more active and rising.

Smiles seem to bloom like spring flowers.

Christians celebrate Christ rising and Jews freedom from oppression and liberation.

Despite the many problems that abound in this world, now–the beginning of spring–is a fertile time to pause, recognize, and thank this uplifting life force that has the potential to grow our lives, and this world, for the better.

Change is constant

and a constant.

Yoga and mediation help us tune in and calibrate to it,

and thereby feel more alive

like spring!
