Refections in Early January 2018

” So which is it?  Let the light decide, or never give up? The answer is: Both. Yehuda Berg

As i begin my 15th year of teaching yoga(can’t believe its been 15 years!!!) I find myself noticing…my commitment to Grace and a Higher Power guiding my way and also my own Intentions, Tapas(determination) and Inner Strength.. they all propel me. I am always focusing and refocusing my attention on my path and yet tuning in to the “God Winks” or coincidences that just seem to happen and grab my attention. Over the years I have questioned…is it my never give up positive attitude that guides my way or is the light/Grace deciding? So I was happy to read the above quote in Sacred Powers, by Davidji. I guess it is both and I am never gonna stop Trusting!

What guides your way? Do you even know? As we begin 2018 with our Intentions, not Resolutions (as there is nothing to resolve since we are already whole) what is important to you? Hopefully one thing that is important is your yoga practice. Do you know Harmony Yoga is on TV every morning from 630-7am on JBS.org or Channel 138 on Cable? Do you know there is a FREE 25 min Water Flow practice on the Harmony Yoga Studio FB page? At Kripalu.org/resources you can watch/read or listen to many interesting yoga concepts and of course there are so many online yoga classes. Starting your day with even 5-10 minutes of yoga or meditation can alter your life. Try the Chopra Center concept of RPM…rise, pee, meditate…before you even look at your texts or emails…Seriously, now is the time…As Rumi says…

The Gift, by Hafiz

Now is the time.

Now is the time to know
That all that you do is sacred.

Now, why not consider
A lasting truce with yourself and God?

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you can finally live
with veracity and love.

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.
That this is the time
For you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is Sacred.

So Today, I Begin…and if you fall off…begin again and again and again.
