A Mini Vacation From Stress – Yoga on the Mat!

I first came into Yoga as a way to bring myself, a few moments of peace. Becoming centered, grounded, and present, focusing on my breath, focusing on my body. Then breathing some more, moving, linking my breath with movement, bringing my mind and body totally into the present. Then with the awareness of the moment I was in, and lack of the awareness of everything else,  I was able to bring myself to a place of stillness in my mind and body.  I was able to sit with peace, and then focus my thoughts on all that I had to be grateful for.  Mini Vacations is what it felt like. A retreat just for myself. Filling my day with positive thoughts all day long.  With yoga practice we find these moments.

Live with Peace.

How do you view your life?

When I was little, and things didn’t go as planned – Like being stranded in a broken down car, before cell phones, in the middle of nowhere. My mom would say – let’s think of it as if we’re on an adventure, and we kept happily and excitedly moving forward. Like we were Indiana Jones. I forgot about this as I grew older, but I’m glad I remembered. What a great way to view life – as an adventure. Enjoying the present moment that we have, and remembering that we do have choices on how we view our life.

Love and Light

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne. Marcus Aurelius

Look for ways to spread Love and Light.  Share Love by lifting others up. Say something kind and inspiring about a persons qualities. Smile, look people in the eye and say – thank you.  Make people you meet feel good about themselves. Tell people you know that you appreciate them.  If you see someone making positive changes in their life, encourage them to keep going, and help to strengthen their resolve. Be fully present for others. Give hugs, touch an arm, hold a hand, and let someone know you’re really there. Hold a door open – be of service. And, finally speak to their heart.

You know what a boost these acts have made in your own life…do it yourself – Spread Love and Light!
