Internal Yoga

Blessed are the flexible,

for they shall not be

bent out of shape.

Yoga is not just a physical workout, but it’s working on yourself from the inside out. Helping us to remember what’s inside of us – our beauty, our strengths, our divine uniqueness. We learn to bend, so we don’t break. Flowing with the direction of the current, riding it out, and seeing what the universe bring’s across our path. Noticing without judgement. We learn to not take things personally. To listen from within, finding our truth, our guidance. We learn to speak and live this truth, in a kind way – Finding our strength and our peace.

Truth – With Love and Light

“A pure heart open to the light, will be filled with the very essence of Truth.” ~ Rumi

I had an awakening this week, after receiving the gift of a Thai Massage. I felt as if I could feel my prana, energy, vibrating and dancing about. I’ve been told that we’re not solid objects, and for the first time I felt that way. I’ve had massages before and have left feeling wonderful and relaxed, but this was different. The gift giver suggested after, that I go to the beach and sit with my feet in the sand, so I went. I never felt so connected and unconnected at the same time. Within myself I felt as if like i was the center of the universe. And, although there were lots of people around, when I listened for outside sounds, all I heard was the waves crashing in the sand. It was easy for me to keep going inward, and instinctively I new what I should do. When to move, eat, and head home. Honoring myself in the simplistic of terms. When I arrived home I was exhausted, even though it had only been a few hours and even though I had a good nights sleep. Not wanting to lose this feeling, a definite change in my whole being, I just lay still for a few hours.

A week later, I’ve allowed the beautiful essence of this gift to fade. Why is it that we sometimes allow ourselves to default to the place inside us, where we don’t want to be. Why is it so hard for us sometimes. Why do we allow stuff to affect us, when we know better,… habits, I realize, take time to change. So, recognizing the habits, honoring ourselves, and giving yourself the moment to make the shift, is sometimes, the best we can do until the new habit takes form.

Be easy on yourself, but see your truth, see your drama. Let it go, an start shifting your thoughts, and life, to where you really want it to be. Do you really want to live in the drama – step back, step away, turn.  Start focusing on what you want, and how you feel strength, in your peace.

Speaking my truth, with love, and light,

Goldi

 

 

 

Path of Least Resistance

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.  Marcus Aurelius

Nature does not hurry yet everything is accomplished. Lao Tzu

Nature always will choose the path of least resistance or effort. In yoga we learn to not muscle tuniversehrough a pose with force, we relax and surrender into the pose finding our energetic strength and softening around it. In life, we sometimes fight what comes easiest with the thought that if it comes easy, it’s not worthy, or not the best choice. That whatever has come your way, doesn’t look exactly the way you wanted it to, so you let it pass by.

Take three long deep breaths here…relax and surrender to the flow of the universe. Allow the universe to work for you. Accept people, and circumstances that come your way.  Let the universe work in your favor. Move towards what you want, but notice the opportunities that come.
