YOGA

Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you. Rumi

I’ve been practicing yoga on and mostly off for several years, but for the last few months I’ve been practicing more frequently.  Mainly because in my perfect life vision I kept seeing myself doing yoga, which was odd because, like I said, my yoga practice had been very limited.  Nevertheless, I’ve been searching for the yoga studio that seems to fit me just right. While trying to make sense of this vision, my awareness of wanting to live a healthy life, kept popping up. In fact, I want to live until the age of at least 100. So in that respect – I get the vision.  About four months in to my practice, I read an article that included a photo of a 91 year old woman, who not only was still teaching yoga, but practicing.  They photo showed an image of her laying on her back in plow position.  If you don’t know what that is, it’s where, while lying on your back you lift your legs and feet up over your head using your abdominal muscles, landing your toes on the floor. And, since I’m now, living in South Florida, I’m acutely aware of the limitations of many senior citizens, and found this feat amazing.  Her muscle tone looked better than many woman 60 plus years younger.  What a bonus!  So I’ve been hooked, and even more committed, to finding the yoga studio just right for me.

It all fits into my vision of my perfect life.  Although at times it can feel a little crazy, like when I decided to start writing this blog.  But when your trying to create your dream life, you need to  continually nurture what you already have and want, while reevaluating, adjusting, and taking action, for more good to come.  My vision continues to include having a healthy mind, body, and soul.  I believe that my new yoga quest fits right into that vision.  In fact, I want to become a certified instructor.

So start your project if it fuel you and fits your vision, live your life, and don’t worry what others think.

With Love Like That…

…And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with love like that. It lights up the sky. – Rumi

Love is the the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Someday after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God, the energies of Love, and then for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

What if, like the sun, we unselfishly shined our energy of Love. If not everyday, perhaps at least, on Valentines Day.  If every man, woman, and child’s selfless, unconditional love for another soul, treated every person they met with compassion, kindness, and with a profound tenderness and affection. How powerful would that be…Love flooding the world, with positive gift’s for the good of all! What would be possible with Love Like That!

Just a thought…

Deserving Soul

The entrance to the door of the sanctuary, is inside of you… Rumi

There are times throughout are life that we may want to run away from our lives. Escaping to some sort of sanctuary, where you’re safe, loved, nurtured, and cherish for the tired soul that you feel, you are. You may be fortunate enough to have the means to take a trip to an exotic location, the ability to visit with someone you love for a time, or where ever it is that you feel would be sanctuary.  The problem is, that it only works for a moment, and not for the long term.

Like Rumi, I’m here to tell you that “The Sanctuary” that you’re looking for, IS inside of you. If you’re not feeling it, then that should be your main goal, to get yourself to that place.  Take care of yourself! Love, Nurture, and Cherish the deserving soul that you are! Do what you feel you need to do to get you to that point. If you need it, go to that other sanctuary, and let some time pass in your healing.  It may have taken you a long time to get where you are.  It may take a while to get to where you need to go. But eventually, and hopefully sooner than later, you will find the peace from within.  Go inward, sit still when you can, meditate or just keep your thoughts positive. Remember everything, no matter how small, that you’re grateful for in your life.  Exercise, move your body, stretch.  Start feeling yourself strong, and healthy, inside and out.

Start at whatever point you can, no matter how small, and take care of yourself!  I can’t think of a more deserving soul than you… 😉
