Co-Creating Your Life – A Vision Board Workshop

Wednesday, October 30th 7-9pm.

–

“Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.”

Enlightenment happens, not in some far away distant esoteric place, but in the everydayness of life. Enlightenment is an appropriate response to your inner callings and a willingness to act from your highest, intuitive self. A Vision Board is a collection of images, words, affirmations or drawings that serve as a spirit-led guide for discovering and acknowledging what your soul is yearning for. The universe wants to support your efforts to live a life filled with joy, abundance, adventure and purpose. It is within the effort of creating the Vision that brings clarity as well as focus to your intentions so you can begin to live your life by your own design, free of fear based judgments or cultural pressures.

–

This workshop will consist of a centering meditation, a simple writing exercise and creating our boards. Each participant is asked to bring 3 to 5 magazines of random genres to be cut up and shared, a picture of yourself that projects joy and happiness, and a small journal or notebook. All other supplies will be provided.

–

Cost is $20

–

Percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Invited Inn Soup Kitchen in Rocky Point to align our visions with the energy of service.

Co-Creating Your Life – A Vision Board Workshop – October 30th 7-9pm. In this workshop we will each create a Vision Board. A Vision Board is a collection of images, words, affirmations or drawings that serve as a spirit-led guide for manifesting, planning and co-creating the life you are meant to live. Vision boards help you identify your soul’s desires and give clarity as well as focus to your intentions to help you live your life by design and not default. The workshop will consist of meditation, gentle movements, and creating our boards. Cost is $20 with part of the proceeds to go to the Invited Inn Soup Kitchen in Rocky Point. Each participant must bring 3 to 5 magazines of random genres to be cut up and used for our images as well as a favorite picture of yourself that you feel projects your inner spirit.

Yoga this Week – September 29, 2013

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Being at peace with the unknown is one of the greatest accomplishments we can acheive moment by moment. To be “okay” with not knowing how things will turn out means we must first banish fear and replace it with faith. Increasing our capacity for faith immediatly allows us to let go of our percieved control over our life. Having faith that things will turn out alright enables us experience all of life without having to figure everything out. Living the question means to let the answers be revealed when it is time so that you can remain in the present moment without anxiety. Many precious moments are squandered away overthinking situations that either have already happened or haven’t happened yet. So try to LOVE the question that this day brings as if you were turning a corner on a beautiful mountain and be open to the beauty that the landscape of your life lays out before you.

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

Greetings Dear Yoga Students,

–

Welcome to Fall!!

–

We had such a wonderful time yesterday gliding across the Harbor to our sweet little island nestled in between Setauket Harbor and the Long Island Sound. The air was warm, the sun was playing peek a boo and hearts were connected. Taking our yoga out into nature is so invigorating and transformative. We are connected, like the Global Mala that took place yesterday connecting yoga communities all over the world, to nature in all its forms. We learned an important lesson during our paddle as well; That nature is not to be taken for granted in any capacity. The wind and waves were kicking up on our way back and we had to use our Kali Power to get us home. It was exhilarating, at times difficult, but worth every effort. Our journey across the water reminded me that sometimes the way is easy and we can glide carefree through the waters of our life, however, it is in the times when we must paddle into the wind, against the flow, or into great resistance that we find the true sense of power that lies within us at all times. Special thanks to Debbi and Bob, for keeping our kayaking crew safe and accounted for. Jai, Jai, Jai!! Victory!

You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.”
― Anthon St. Maarten

Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
Marcus Aurelius

Greetings dear yoga students,

We had a wonderful time at the Yoga Darshana Center’s Restoration Retreat at Camp DeWolfe this past weekend. It was both enlivening and restorative. Being with a community of like minded people in a beautiful setting focusing on spiritual awareness is a wonderful way to connect back to your own soul healing capacities. As I walked along the beach early Sunday morning alone preparing for the Fire Ceremony to come (we were to burn a paper with what we wished to let go of in our lives and keep the paper with what we wish to bring in to our lives), I came across a horseshoe crab that had died within its shell and was covered in barnacles and other shells that had stuck to it and the following insight came to me.

“We need to shed our current shell in order to grow or we will wither and die as the small space around us is no longer what we need. If we hang on to the past and allow it to stick to us, we will be weighed down and be unable to move forward. Let go, embrace change, become vulnerable, take care of yourself, enjoy the journey and trust that the place you are traveling to is worth it”

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new!

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

–

Greetings dear yoga students,

One of my beloved teachers, Rolf Gates, once said to us, “Don’t allow your duties to become your burdens”. This saying has always stuck with me. Within the daily round of doing, taking care of, maintaining and getting things done, we can sometimes feel very burdened. While completing our yearly ritual today of making and jarring up our tomato sauce, this quote hovered over me like the fine sunshine that was streaming down from the sky. “Don’t allow your duties to become your burdens”. The hard work we put in today pleasures us all year long; when we open a jar in mid-winter, when we give some to someone having hard times or when we simply share a meal with family and friends. Doing something once a year creates a specialness, an excitement and my husband and I usually feel a “zest in creating” it (until right about now, when we are ready to collapse). But, it is in our daily duties that we also need to find that joy for a job well done . Whatever your duties consist of this week, try to look at them with a fresh attitude. If your duties are really become your burdens, try to change the way you do them, creating an atmosphere that promotes happiness or give yourself a special reward for completing the task. If your duties still seem heavy to carry, simply look back at the end of the week and find true happiness knowing your deeds were well done to the best of your ability with an intention of love and service for all.

The reward of a thing well done, is having done it.

“It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time”

-Sir Winston Churchill

Learn how yoga can help you stay in the present moment

–

Breathe into this present moment. When we try to look too far into the future we only deny ourselves the serenity being in the now.. Breathe, relax and feel your life as it is . Allow each activity each thought to remind you we are not in a race to get to the future. The future becomes the future one moment, one breath at a time. When we practice yoga in the true sense of the word (to unite our mind, body and spirit in the present moment), our mind is free from worry and anxiety and open to the abundance that is all around us and in us. When we free ourselves from the wasted energy that worry brings we are free to be open to allow joy to fill our day and to make that choice to see what is beautiful, right and lovely in our world.

Yoga This Week – No Thursday or Friday Classes – Reg Schedule Resumes Next Week

August 26, 2013 amyperri2 2 Comments

Aparigraha

greedlessness, non-attachment

“The yogi feels that the collection or hoarding of things implies a lack of faith in God and in himself to provide for the future….By the observance of aparigraha, the yogi makes his life as simple as possible and trains his mind not to feel the loss or the lack of anything. Then everything he really needs will come to him by itself at the proper time.”

Iyengar

Dear Yoga Students,

Hoping this evening finds you resting in the sweet, nourishing power that faith can provide. Aparigraha reminds us that when we feel no lack, we are free; free to give, free to rest, free to believe that we have everything we really need. When we come from this power of faith, we can trust in the future, even when it is unclear. Non-attachment, no-hoarding and non-clinging is really all about letting go. Letting go creates the serenity we so crave for. Much like a trapeze artist must let go of the first ring before they can catch the second, that moment in mid air can be scary and uncomfortable, but they cannot move forward unless they let go first; we must learn the art of letting go. Let it become sadhana (practice) by letting go of some of the heaviness of holding on to people, places or things in your life and jump with faith, trust and the knowing that the universe won’t only just catch you, but help you to soar.
