The stillness of now

vibrates

with creative energy.

Maintaining the practices during difficult times can be difficult.

There are innumerable pressures to stop them–urgency, tension, anxiety, nervousness, unsettledness….

But these “symptoms” are actually the signals that our yoga and meditation practices are most needed to center and ground us as best as possible given the circumstances.

Even abbreviated sessions of practice can not only be of benefit to you, but to everyone involved.

While hiking yesterday, I came across this baby lizard, no more than inch long, on a wooden bridge rail.

His tiny head and even smaller legs and toes remind me of the most subtle shifts in meditation and yoga that literally can transform our lives.

Subtle–this life force that moves these tiny toes, and head, and eyes… that moves and empowers our thoughts, and body, and heart…

to love.

When you bring your love to something, not only you will experience it.

You will vibrate with love, and others will feel it.

Yoga and meditation can take you ever-deeper into a love that knows no bounds.

May we bring these good vibrations to the world.  Lord knows, we need it!

 

Take a listen:  “Love is My Religion” by Ziggy Marley.

We are each like moons to the sun,

reflections of the light of the heart.

Our moods vary, like the phases of the moon.

And remember, at times when life takes you to the dark side of the moon, it is still the same moon!

Devotion often gets the short end of the stick these days.

And yet it is devotion that can drive heartfelt discipline.

Find in your heart the highest that you are devoted to.

What is worth living this moment, each day… this life for?

Let your yoga and meditations honor this.

The rest will flow from this.

Through our meditation and yoga practices, we can let go and dive deeper and deeper into this pool of joy and bliss that knows no bottom.

In meditation, focus on the life force that breathes you and beats your heart….

You will be wowed… amazed!

We all have places in our body where we hold on.  For me, habitually it’s been the right side of my neck and shoulder.

Yoga and meditation can help us empty our anxiety pockets so prana, or life force, can flow more freely through these areas.

They can literally help us breathe new life into these once congested, stagnant, and even painful areas of the body.

Every day we open our eyes to a day we have not yet lived.

May it be like opening a present from a dear one!
