Yoga this Week – July 7, 2013

July 7, 2013 amyperri2 4 Comments

When you do yoga postures,
surrender to the moment,
be in the moment,
don`t worry about weather
you can touch your
toes or not,
just experience the process.

Then try to carry this attitude
into the rest of your day,
away from tension,
guilt and anxiety.

Experience is the door
to the here and now.

Amrit Kala

Hari Om dearest yoga students,

Non-attachment is one of the most difficult aspects of our practice to attain. We attach ourselves to an ideal of what our life should look like, what our yoga practice should feel like, what our world should be like and then only create suffering when it does not measure up. To truly be in the process,present to the here and now is a gift. When we walk through that doorway, we feel the guilt, shame and anxiety, which have become like guests who have overstayed their welcome, slip away. We all deserve to be free, we all deserve to experience joy and true joy and freedom is only found in one place: the here and now…

If you plan on joining in for Beach Yoga, we will meet at my house and carpool down to Hallock Landing Beach – Check Email or FB Page by 5pm to see if class will be on the beach or in our yoga room. If you decide to drive down on your own, please be mindful of the “No Parking” Signs. Contact me if you have any questions. I hope to continue this beautiful tradition of taking our yoga outdoors and I appreciate your patience as we work out the details. I promise you, it is worth it!!!

“It is time. If you are to walk the path of heart, then it is time…”

If not now, when? If not me, who? To walk the path of the heart is a great honor. Every human has the choice to walk this path, but very few will decide to make it. Why? Well, because you can’t act and behave like everyone else behaves. You must be the person who will learn to look within. You must be the person who will be fully accountable for yourself. You must be the person who prays and meditates. You must be the person who will sacrifice. You must decide to be a Peaceful Warrior

–Nippawanock, ARAPAHOE

Greetings to all my Peaceful Warriors,

Hoping you all have enjoyed this wonderful summer weekend! We will try for Sunset Yoga Classes on the beach – weather and tide permitting. If you plan on joining in for Beach Yoga, we will meet at my house and carpool down to Hallock Landing Beach as I have a sticker to park in the lot – Check Email or FB Page by 5pm to see if class will be on the beach or in our yoga room. If you decide to drive down on your own, please be mindful of the “No Parking” Signs. Contact me if you have any questions. I hope to continue this beautiful tradition of taking our yoga outdoors and I appreciate your patience as we work out the details. I promise you, it is worth it!!!

Our freedom affords us a myriad of opportunities in our lives. One of the most important ones is the opportunity to pursue any spiritual path we desire to explore in our own individual way. I express much gratitude to all of you for enabling me to bring yoga into your lives. The freedom to teach yoga and bring the physical and spiritual disciplines to my students is a privilege that propels my spiritual path farther and wider than you will ever know. Take a moment to say a prayer of gratitude to all those that fight for freedom in small and large ways and enjoy your life as it is today.

Yoga this Week – June 16, 2013 – Happy Father’s Day!

June 16, 2013 amyperri2 4 Comments

“Isn’t life grand? With all its beauty, hardships and craziness, isn’t life itself an amazing, wild ride?”, my big brother said as he almost squeezed the very breath out of me with his engulfing bear hug. We laughed as we continued to compare life to a big pot of stew with all its flavors intermingling creating a delicious, hardy meal that satisfies the soul, and wished each other well as we went on our separate ways. The little whisper of his wisdom stayed with me overnight into this morning. Life IS grand, with all its twists and turns, it is still a beautiful journey to be both respected and cherished like a ride up a scenic mountain highway; at times scary, at times exciting, at times distasteful, at times calm or breathtakingly beautiful. Cherish your life today, cherish the fathers that are in your life as well as beyond this life. Be present to the unique flavor of today, be compassionate, be humble, be aware of the river of awareness that runs just under the surface of things that whispers…”Isn’t Life Grand?”…

“I’ve come to believe that the highest form of prayer is to pray and yet ask for nothing. To resonate with awareness, acceptance, and gratitude is surely to pray. To breathe and accept gratefully the air that surrounds me into my body…..to be conscious of this, as we breath,

turns the physical practice into a devotional one”

Sting

Dearest Yoga Students,

Hoping this moment finds you consciously breathing and accepting gratefully all that surrounds you. Whether you accept your present circumstances graciously or with a heavy heart, acceptance is the key that unlocks the door to serenity. It is my intention that as you dive deeper and deeper into your yoga practice, you too begin to find the spiritual foundation that yoga is built on. Allow the feelings of gratitude and loving kindness that arise during your practice to become your “prayer” of devotion to that universal energy that works through all things including you.

Sagittarius _lunar_eclipse

“The Phoenix rises from the ashes of the past. You, too, can recreate yourself and make a fresh start. You can experience a Brilliant Breakthrough. That is this Full Moon’s message.”

Hatha Yoga

Ha – Sun Tha – Moon Yoga – to connect

Hatha Yoga is to connect and balance the elements of the sun and moon that lies within us. In the early morning hours there was a full moon lunar eclipse. This astrological event is both mysterious and powerful. The energy of the full moon reminds us that we are complete, whole and abundant exactly as we are. As the full moon reflects the brillance of the sun, our energetic, powerful “Ha”, sun element shines through and lights up our receptivity “tha” moon energy. The sun and moon are deeply connected as is illustrated as the earth moves in front of the sun and changes the color of the white moon to a dark red filtering a small amount of sunlight on its surface. This ha and tha energy within us are deeply connected as well.

The full moon reminds us that all that has occured within our lives in the last month has led up to this moment. It is a time to sit back, watch, allow and let it all be. There are times for action in our lives and a time to let go. Within our asana practice there are times of expending great effort to release energy, wake up our bodies and quiet our minds. There are also times when we hold the pose, release in relaxation, sit still, let go and trust the process. This ebb and flow, giving and receiving creates the balance we so long for in our lives. We simply cannot hold on to pleasure or force pain to go away, try as we might, we must accept as best we can the process. Just as the moon cannot possibly hold on to its fullness or emptiness, we must let go and allow our lives to unfold; trusing the phases of waining, waxing and fullness to bring us to wholeness again.

” The Past and the Future is a joke to me now. I see that they’re nothin’. I see they ain’t here. The only thing that’s here is you and me…..I love you. Not, not like they told you love is….[the story books are bull], love don’t make things nice, it ruins everything! It breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We, we aren’t here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect, stars are perfect. Not us! Not us!”
Ronny Cammareri, “Moonstruck“

Storybooks and fairytales have a way to paint a picture of life that always has a happy ending. The guy gets the girl, the conflict resolves and all is as it should be. But what we must remember is that life is full of suffering. That loving, and being truly vulnerable in your life doesn’t always look nice. Truly living wholeheartedly means breaking your heart sometimes, making a mess. The above quote is one of my all time favorite movie lines. We are not here to be perfect, for our lives to look flawless, to create what society’s idea of a beautiful life is. We are here to have our hearts broken a thousand times because we are meant to experience the oceans of emotions our life is full of. We are here to experience the wonder of being human; with all its hills and valleys, like the moon we continually cycle through a myriad of phases to become whole again.

Yoga helps lead us away from this idea of perfectionism, that somehow we are flawed because our practice is not perfect. We fall down, we sweat, we struggle but we get back up again, we return to our mats and gain strength, fortitude and hope. “We breath and something in us softens, makes space for the imperfections”. So let go of the storybook idea of how your life should look. Let go and enjoy the scenery of today. Be vulnerable, be open, allow grief, joy, success and failure, falling down and getting back up to all be part of the great tapestry that is your life. When you reach into the beauty of imperfection; the crooked tree, the moon’s craters, the clouded sky, tears in a loved one’s eyes, experience it fully, turning away from nothing that you find. The messes will be there, the heartaches will surface, the past and future are but memories and dreams, breathe it all in and find your joy in being present through it all for yourself and those around you.

“When you experience yourself in stillness – that is, when you give your undivided attention to experiencing the truth about you – you will experience the conflict-free, calm, dynamic peace of perfectly centered abundant life energy”

Eric Shiffman

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hoping this day finds you basking in the light of gratitude and surrender to what has materialized in your life. Feel into this moment as you feel into a yoga pose. Align yourself to the spaciousness of all this moment has to offer. Breathe in acceptance and breathe out love. Feel into the stillness at the end of your next breathe and connect to your true self as you draw near to the present, the here and now. Draw up the finest quality energy and co-create your day as one that centers around peace, compassion and love.

Yoga this Week – March 24, 2013

The winds of grace are blowing all the time. You have only to raise your sail.

Sri Ramakrishna

Ajna Chakra – Third Eye

Purpose: Generates Intuition & Inner Wisdom

Energy: Soul

Element: Light

Location: In between the eyebrows

Color Association: Indigo

Embraces: Self-Awareness

Spiritual Lesson: Material Detachment/Open-mindedness

Statement: I See

Anja Chakra located in between the eyebrows is often referred to as the Third Eye. When this chakra opens it is like a gateway allowing divine wisdom to enter our minds. Like the wind it is always there waiting, all you have to do is allow it to flow.

The symbol of OM in the center of the chakra represents the unleashed energy of the Kundulini Snake rising upward. The crescent moon of feminine receptivity embraces the circle above it. This circle is a golden dot which is the essence of spiritual energy. It represents being in your center. When we chant the mantra “OM” we are embracing all of this universal divine energy, OM brings the ego self into union with the spirit self.

It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.

Henry David Thoreau

The Ajna chakra opens us up to our highest intelligence which is a distinct balance between our intellect (our thinking mind) and our intuition (our feeling mind).

When the the ego realizes that the fulfillment of its highest dreams is only to be found through merging with the Higher Self, the false masks the ego has created fall away and who you thought you were or who you thought you ought to be lose their grip. What we see is made up of all we were told is good, bad, ugly or beautiful thoughout our life. Our third eye opens us up to our own inner guidance which may or may not agree with all we have learned. When the third eye opens, you allow your true self, with all its individual thoughts and feelings, to shine forth. So Hum, ” I am what I am” There is no guilt, no need for illusion or pretense. You are totally in the present and you realize that the you you have been seeking or trying to change into something or someone else has been there, in complete perfection, all along.

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

Benjamin Spock
