We season food to make it taste better.
How about our lives?
Why not season it with more love, joy, peace of mind, calmness, and make it tastier!?
We know our yoga practices can bring more of this into our life.
And if we can make the effort and practice regularly, we can season our lives more with the benefits of practice.
Yum, yum!… More delicious life!
Bon appétit!
When we are high above things looking down–like in a plane or atop a tall building–things seems smaller far below, less big, less overwhelming.
Such is witness consciousness to our lives. The significance the ego puts on things lessens, being judgmental lessens, things seem less “ours” and we become more merely present. We can think more clearly, and be more accepting of everything. From this vantage point, we are freer to choose more wisely, having a bigger picture.
Such is the big picture of witness consciousness.
Such is the human heart that loves.
Yoga can really help improve our view of this world.
And who doesn’t like a good view?
The yogic sages and poets celebrate this human birth as the highest and greatest of callings–to realize and share the Light while living it in this human body.
This is the pinnacle of human experience.
Human birth–the ultimate gift and blessing, and opportunity.
May our yoga and meditation practices guide and nurture our journey propelling us ever-deeper into love, compassion, and joy, into this Light to share it here on earth!
As you practice your meditation, become absorbed in meditation like water drawn into a sponge, more and more, until maybe one day there is nothing left of you… except everything!
In this sea of ever-changing circumstance, yoga and meditation can help us find our ballast, that which steadies us no matter what the circumstances.
We learn through practice to become more rooted in this, less often swept away, and never lost at sea. Through the practices, we return to this center.
And from this center or ever-present steadiness, we are all the more free to love with great compassion.
A steady diet of yoga and meditation can help us take pounds off…
our shoulders, our hearts,
and feel freer and lighter,
more in love.
And oh yes, yoga and meditation can help us really take pounds off.*
*Get more fit, toned, and slimmer
One reason we meditate and do yoga is to give our active mind, which swings from thought to thought like a monkey from branch to branch, a rest.
A chance to slow down, to reset, to refresh, like rising from a good night’s sleep, renewed and ready to swing again.
Yoga is the journey of the self to the Self.
It is a course of vision correction.
The inner teacher is the Grand Optometrist. Practice and listen, and listen and practice.
Through the practices, we adjust our lenses, and explore and and discover what works best for us to see more clearly, bringing love more clearly in focus.
Now is perfect as it is from the perspective of the Self.
Perfectly imperfect!
We humans of infinitely varied hues make up the palette of this world.
Yoga and meditation can awaken us to the beauty that pervades all these variations.
Paint on!
