Travel Light

Life seems at times to pass us by….days, weeks, and months seem to go by in an instant. We drive to work or school and wonder how we really got there, …aware that we weren’t really aware. Our minds are filled with thoughts, and life keeps passing us by.  In yoga we link our breath with our movements helping us to to stay  grounded, self aware, and present in our practice.  And, in my mind, with the hopes of keeping this presence after the practice.  Our minds must learn to flow like our breath,  keeping us in the present moment, and not worried about our past or what may happen in the future.  This is the hope of traveling light, free of everything except the present moment, taking hold of our lives – as it is now.

A Place of Peace

Yoga on a mountain top – In my mind thats where I am….well either there or on the beach 🙂  I put myself, in a place of peace, creating a sense of serenity. Hearing the ocean waves gently rolling in, with the sun heating up my skin. Or feeling like the majestic tree, strong but flexible, bending with the wind. I keep my eyes closed, and see myself doing a sun-salutation, sweeping my arms up filled with joy. Then pausing at the end with hands placed together, then lowered until they are centered over my heart. Here, I reflect on thoughts of all I have to be grateful for, while still feeling a joyful heart. When I open my eyes, I feel a sense of peace.

I’ve been doing this years before I ever started physically taking yoga, and it’s my reminder to you, that we have everything we need to be happy.  Find your place of peace.
