“If a woman does not keep pace with her companions, perhaps it is because she hears a different drumer. Let her step to the music which she hears, however measured or far away”
I’m stepping to the beat of my own drummer! This week there will only be Friday morning class. Next week regular schedule resumes
“Expansion on a spiritual level means that you have let go of enough unconscious contraction to be present to the here and now”
Esther Ekhart
Namaste friends,
In order to expand we must release the invisible boundaries we place around ourselves. When we are able to see the contraction, the closing up, the running away we can work on letting it go. Expanding means to open up and allow all of life to flow through you; not carrying excess baggage from the past or worries about the future. Spacious, open and free, in the body, breath and heart.
In yogic philosophy the term “upekkha”, known as one of the four keys to liberation (the brahmaviharis) means stability in the face of the complex nature of life especially when we are at odds with something. It is evenness of mind that is not upset by gain or loss, success or failure, creating everlasting joy and freedom from life’s ups and down. It is from stability that we create flexibility and become less rigid and more pliable.
Be stable. Press your feet into mother earth, lift your gaze and stand firm. Although the wind blows fiercely….you stay; open, authentic and free.

How do we prevent self inflicted suffering that is to come in the future? For one thing, it is not easy. It takes diligent practice and consistent awareness of observing your thoughts. Chewing on what might happen or having anxious thoughts about that which you can’t control is like over indulging in rich foods and paying the price the day after. It is satisfying in the moment but creates nothing but suffering later on.
Avoiding unnecessary negative thinking and catching the thoughts at the root is at the heart of creating a peaceful, harmonious life and is worth every effort to do so .

Together We call down grace, and gaze without wavering into the fires of creation We find the place where Love embraces fear and tears taste like faith We let our radiance be revealed in laughter and in longing We hold the whole of life, sweet grapes and bitter, healing herbs We hold until we overflow and offer back the gifts that we’ve received The vessel never empties. The growing love between us keeps it filled Donna Faulds
Sending blessings and peace to you all! So much gratitude to our beautiful sangha. I feel so blessed to be on this path with you. Through all the changes, twists and turns of life we continue to grow together and individually in community. A deep bow to you all.
