Summer Solstice Mantra

Happy Summer Solstice! The summer season is upon us, and is marked by the longest day of the year. Tomorrow we will receive sun, sun, sun, and more sun! Shining down upon us, late into the evening. The culmination of our growing light from winter, through spring, coming to it's apex. We have traveled, explored, rearranged, reawakened, and opened ourselves up to receive this enlightenment. To receive this long day, filled with celebration. Filled with joy, laughter. The light pours over us, covering us in it's glory. Giving us the utmost time to enjoy, to live freely in jubilance. 

So set yourself free, if not always, at least tomorrow! Let the light in, let it seep into your bones, into your soul. Let that richness and fullness cover you head to toe. And then share this light. Share your light. 

Summer Solstice Mantra: I am a being of light and love. I receive freely, openly, and playfully. I am the truest form of myself, and my authenticity and uniqueness shines. I bask in the sun, in the shining light. I bask in the universes' unwavering support. I feel whole. I feel connected. I feel open. I feel radiant. I celebrate the journey that brought me to this glorious summer day. I am a catalyst of light and love. 

Illuminated

And with a pinch of fear, I took the leap

with a touch of fear, I let what I knew so well, go

with an inkling of fear, I gave in, and chose the path I desired

-

where the light shined down for me

the light drove out the fears

the light cleared the way

the light crept in where shadows once were

-

all was illuminated

and with growing confidence, i felt stronger than before

bright - sweet- light - bliss - loved

this is my place - this is the right path

i am loved - i am supported

this world is beautiful - it holds us up 

it takes us to where we exactly are meant to be

-

live in this illumination

A New Perspective

One of the healthiest things we can do in this life is to open our minds. Open up to new possibility, to new experiences. To open ourselves to have a new point of view, or at least accept other views.  To explore what we may have never explored before. To be open to changing our perspective.

One story I like to share from time to time in my classes is about a villager and his family. A villager lived in a small house with his wife, mother in law, six children, a cow, and some chickens. It was driving his absolutely crazy! So, he sought out a rabbi for advice. The rabbi told him he could solve the problem…buy a goat. Overjoyed, the man went and bought himself a goat. So now he had his wife, mother in law, six children, a cow, chickens…and a goat. The house was even more chaotic. Frustrated, he returned to the rabbi and told him about the chaos. Once again, the rabbi told him he could fix the problem….sell the goat. The villager went home and sold his goat. Suddenly all he had was his wife, mother in law, six children, a cow, and some chickens. Things were positively peaceful without that goat.

Order is just chaos repeated twice.

We should work to find a way of seeing that creates opportunities for us to better ourselves and to recognize ourselves better. When we cling to one point of view, we limit our ability to see what is right before us. All of life’s challenges, if we learn to pay attention, can broaden our perspective. These challenges help distinguish important from unimportant. We learn from this expansion of our mindset, we gain more wisdom. It is with wisdom that we have clarity of perspective.

“Enlightenment is in fact, nothing more and nothing less than a radical change of perspective.” – Judith Lasater

self-exploration

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be” – Douglas Adams

The mindful practice of yoga is one of revelation….of exploration. We explore in order to revel ourselves, to ourself. To truly get to know whom we are. It is an on-going journey of self-exploration. Yoga is the original mind-body workout….it is meditation in action.

I came to yoga originally for the physical aspects, to sweat and stretch, to work my body. But once I began, I realized the mental clarity I felt after each practice. I wanted more. I wanted to explore, and keep exploring. I wanted to reach within, get to know myself. Yoga became a process of self exploration for me, a process of healing. My body felt balanced, inside and out. My energy was up, yet I was relaxed. Yoga gave me patience and resilience. It has taught me how to cope with the stresses of life. Yoga has given me a more balanced state of mind. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not a master at any of those feelings or tapping into them. It’s an ongoing process of self relazation. I practice and continue on my journey of yoga to explore. To know more.

It’s easy to get lost, confused, feel uncertain, resistant. It’s in those times that we are lost we can really get to know ourselves. We learn how to cope, how to move forward. We turn inward. When we are in places that feel foreign, even when we travel somewhere new, our outer world changes. It forces us to go inside to what we know. We sit there and explore. We see who we are.

I urge you to keep asking questions, keep excavating, inquiring, learning. When you feel something, get to know it even better. Explore that feeling. Know what sensations arise within, how your body physically reacts. Life is crazy, it’s a whirlwind everyday with all that we have to do. Make sure you take a little time each day to slow down.

Make sure you explore. And then explore some more.

hello spring!

We made it - we finally made it. Spring has sprung. And we welcomed it with very open arms. Across the street from my house, little flowers are sprouting up from the earth....puts a smile on my face every day! Spring is a time for reawakening, for growth, for change. Spring is a magical time of the year. 

The word spring means to jump, to move forward, to arise from. We have finally moved forward out of winter. Arising out of hibernation - jumping in joy that the days are longer, the sun is warmer, the earth is greener. Our skin begins to glow. Our hearts open up - we are filled with lightness. 

Spring is a time of realization. We are reunited, since we never truly separated in the first place. And as you live, breath, do, and be....in yoga or in life....we get flashes of this remembrance. We tune in. The more you notice those moments where you feel a knowing that goes beyond the mind and to your heart, a knowing that yes you are this beautiful physical form - but also much more. Your essence is pure, flawless and truly divine. When something emerges that is deeper than you thought possible - that power shines through. That power makes you light in the heart. 

Life gives you exactly what you need to reawaken and move from the darkness and into the light. 

Embrace Spring - Jump with joy - Be green - Buy a flower - Plant a tree - Open you heart - Live light - Welcome change - Experience growth - Love this time.
