To me, Gentle yoga is…

16 Jun

Time to honor body and mind. Revealing the abiding, genuine truth in all of us: compassion, strength, kindness. 

A new opportunity to begin your day in a beautiful way. 

a “Soul” Flow of poses with deep breathing awareness specifically designed to promote calm and ease. 

Visualization  techniques to bring tranquility to mind and body.  

Deep listening to the self so that we may listen more deeply to all. 

Sweetness of Life. Clarity of Being.

Tension draining away 

To form clarity – like the stillness of this lake before me. 

In front of time. Clear glass. Warmth. Goodness of Being. 

A shift in energy much needed. And I sit – in much gratitude – life revealed. Grace. Wonder. Majesty. Magic. The Song of Earth and Sky. 

Now all I have to do is Listen. And See. 

   
 

Power restored in all

26 Feb

We have power

Electricity, cars, heat, machines to push our snow back, modern appliances to help us stay healthy and well.

But really – it’s in the rocks, the trees, our bodies, our hearts

Each other together.

   
 

Grateful 

25 Feb

Beautiful snow, in multitudes, came to us

I learned:

Trust in my strength

The beauty of the sun

Heartfelt gift of help from our neighbors 

Good thoughts from friends

Love all around

We are thriving

  

Dancing

16 Feb

There’s a Dance – between time and energy, nature and Soul. Thought and listening, depth and the surface, Earth and Sky. 

Perseverance…. cultivating strength and softness can happen now 

And Now and Now. Arriving…

A Treasure Trove of contentment.

Partnering with/in Life with Gentleness for myself, everything, and Everyone – with all my Being, I am Light and Love.

  

Now it is

14 Feb

Radiant sun 

Streaky shadows on brilliant white snow

I sit. Watching. Blue pastel sky – my thoughts.

Of peace and happiness, strength and courage, health and safety, freedom, commitment.

All good music of life. 

  

My day

6 Feb

Lots of Yoga – with purpose – today. 

Where am I with all this? “Being Myself.”

My Personal Best is good enough… Sit in the space of the Teacher. The Seat. 

I’m hearing that it’s ok to spark as I will. I do. 

Ok. See me… I can see myself. I can see and be you.

Namaste’

   

Listen

6 Feb

My Purpose in Life:

Listen.

Do the Job. 

Truth. Honor. Respect. Persevere. Love.

   
 

Sunrise

5 Feb

I wanted to see the Sun rise, to have this time for myself – it’s something about clarity for me, new beginning, a need for space and silence. 

A new, clear day is mine. 

Now – the brief, orange-gray-blue light appears. The candle flickers me into day. 

I see – really see – trees steady and sure outside my window. I see these brilliant colors in the room all around me.

Beauty is mine Once Again. 

  

Vast and true

The vastness of this water

Sign of blue depth

Opportunity to swim in the now
