Surrounded By Good

An old Cherokee Legend that says there’s a battle of two wolves inside us all. One wolf is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, arrogance, self pity, resentment, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, generosity, truth, compassion. The wolf that wins? Is the one you feed.

I’m glad your reading my blog it’s a great way to feed the good wolf 😉  filling your mind with positive thoughts. Practicing Yoga, is another.  One of the distinct qualities of yoga is that it helps us to become more self aware. It gives us the opportunity for self study; bearing witness to our thoughts, feeling, emotions, and sensations in our bodies. After time and practice we begin to notice that we have moments where we are no longer just reacting to things, but bearing witness to those things as well and consciously responding, instead of mindlessly reacting. Helping us get clearer on what we value in our lives, like feeding our body, soul, and mind; with joy, love, peace, kindness, and all the good that we can surround ourselves with.

Strength with Peace

I’m halfway through my yoga teacher training. It’s become so much more than I ever thought it would be.  I’m reflecting on my journey, as I sit here in a semi meditative state after my yoga practice. There’s a powerful storm brewing.  Winds are picking up and I feel it’s force blow by me through the open windows in the usually calm space.  I see multiple flashes of lightning illuminating the dark sky, and hear the rain as it helps to enhance this meditative state that I’m in.

My instructor is always reminding us teacher trainees that we should always be at a place of Steadiness and Comfort in our yoga practice.  In my mind, for some reason, I’ve always replaced the words to Strength with Peace.  Today, with the powerful storm illuminating, my feelings of my newly gained strength, along with the steadiness and the comfort of my peace, seems magnified.  As if I am both stronger and softer at the same time. 

It’s wonderful to feel the peace within, but it’s also wonderful when you can go to a place that helps you to expand. My training has seemed like a retreat.  A place where I get to go and honor myself.  Taking care of me, for my health, and my own personal development.

I hope, if your haven’t already, find your own place of steadiness and comfort.

Just a thought…

Into Your Soul

 …for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul.   – Marcus Aurelius
Your soul gives you unconditional love, and all the support that you can ever imagine.  Your soul can bring you the greatest peace.  It’s always with you, and it will never leave you.  It connects you to your spirituality.  It’s the light, the spark of the divine, that lives within.
You have the power, tune into the divinity of your soul, and listen for clear understanding, … for the peace, quiet, and freedom that you seek.
Just a thought…
