Yoga this Week – November 30, 2014

November 30, 2014 amyperri2 2 Comments

Greetings Dear Yoga Students,

–

We all know that change is inevitable, but yet we still long to cling to the known, the familiar, the comfortable. George Harrison once said, “If we aren’t changing, we aren’t growing”. Everything that grows must change. It is just as important to our well being to accept and embrace change as it is to breathe. Enjoy the moments of your day, embrace all that is in your life with enthusiasm knowing that you will never pass through this day again. Be open to the shifting landscapes, the rise and fall of emotions, the ebb and flow of energy. When the waves of change seem to be harsh and the seas are rough around you, remember that you are part of an amazing, vast ocean of movement through which you are inevitably being molded, changed and led in the direction of your divine destiny.

“Banish the word struggle from your attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. For we are the ones we have been waiting for!”

~ Hopi Elder Prophecy

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you well and allowing yourself time to transition into this fall season that is upon us. Try to let go of your struggles today. Our lives truly are a sacred expression of the love we hold within. The moment of sacredness is always now and is always a choice we make. Our sadhanda (practice) teaches us that in the present moment, the abundance of the universe is available to us and we are exactly where we should be. The more we practice bringing ourselves back to the present moment, the more we can live in that sacred space that is full of compassion, wholeness and healing. Just as the journey from the head to the heart is only one breath away, the journey from the unreal to the real is within our reach. Stop waiting for yourself to be more, do more or have more resources available to you to live from your heart’s desire. You are the one you have been waiting for. You are already whole, look inside to your inner light to guide you towards your soul’s purpose focusing on completing even the most mundane of tasks as sacred celebrations. Just as your awareness in your yoga postures should spread to every part of your body, each part equally important, allow your awareness to spread to every task, every breath, every word you speak to rest on the sacredness that is within and around you.

**No Monday Night Class this week – Make sure you scroll down for some wonderful offerings this month!**

“Again and again ~ Return like Mountain ~ Release like Ocean ~ Relax like Sky ~And Rest ~ Rest in the Heart of Pure Awareness” Living Buddha

Greetings dear yoga students,

This quote reminds me that there is a need for us to keep coming back again and again to rest in our true selves. However, to balance our energies we must seek different modalities to meet our ever changing needs; sometimes we need to relax like the sky, be still like a mountain or release the past like the ocean. Tune in to exactly what you may be needing today. Draw upon the power of nature to nurture you and give you what you need. As the season transitions to shorter days and longer nights, you may feel your energy, mood and mind shifting so try and adjust your daily round to help you be true to yourself. In this way we begin to live in the natural rhythms of nature, returning again to rest in the awareness of the heart and what truly matters in your life.

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

Hari Om Dear Yoga Students,

As this Fall draws us inward I wish for your eyes to see all the abundance that you already possess right now in this moment in this time in your life. One beautiful morning this past week I walked down to the shore, a little less than a mile from my house and was embraced by the serene beauty all around me. It caused me to stop and I experienced a moment that seemed to have transformed into one of those magical moments suspended in time. I paused, connected to my breath, did some simple yoga postures and sat on a piece of wood to silently sit in meditation.. As the rhythmic sound of the waves made their way into my mind and the gentle warm breeze caressed my skin, I felt so completely connected to all that was around me. The feeling of abundance and gratitude seemed to encapsulate my entire being. If we take even a moment to connect with all that is precious and dear to us in our lives right now, we allow the divine light to shine into our hearts. A moment like this can change your entire day from one that is ordinary to one that is full of miracles and we seem to lack nothing.

Give thanks to the Gods for the harvest.
Evaluate the past year, and identify what to harvest and what to plow under.
Identify and cut away outworn habits and emotional baggage which are wearing you down.
Work for balance and equilibrium in nature or in human affairs.
Give to those less fortunate than you are

The Perfect Cup

Its time to see the flaws of myself and stop being alarmed

It’s time for me to halt my drive for perfection and to accept my blemishes

It’s time for me to receive slowly evolving growth;

the kind that comes in God’s own good time

and does not heed to my panicky pushing.

It’s time for me to embrace my humaness and love my incompleteness.

It’s time for me to cherish the unwanted,

to welcome the unknown,

to treasure the unfulfilled

If I wait untill I am perfect,

I will always be unsatified and ungrateful

If I wait until all the flaws,

chips and cracks disappear

I will be the cup that sits on the shelf and is never used

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hope this email finds you embracing this day with all its so called “imperfections”. The sooner we move into acceptance and embrace who we are in the moment and how our life is in the present, the sooner we will allow peace to flow within us. Think of the beauty of a tree, a landscape, an old picture or a favorite pair of worn out jeans; it is the imperfections that make them beautiful, interesting and alive. By embracing our humaness we also acknowledge our divinity. It is through this human experience that we come to know the sacred in life. Do not wait, cease this day and open up to the ways in which you can be used to better the lives of those around you in any small way. When you learn to love the imperfections in yourself, you unconciously give others the permission to accept and love themselves just as they are. In your imperfections you are incredibly perfect and exactly who you are meant to be!

“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins – not through strength, but through persistence”

~Buddha

Hari Om Dearest Yoga Students,

Hoping this message finds you enjoying the first signs of the new season that surely awaits us. Think about the perseverance and patience that nature is gifted with. The small bulbs that wait silently underground, the perennials that lay dormant waiting for the cues that it is time to begin their work of opening, pushing, growing up out of the dark earth into the light. Nature does not give up, it finds a way to regenerate. The natural world knows what needs to be done and does not question its role in its lifetime. Experiencing the persistent and reliable cycles of nature fills me with hope, joy and faith that we too can rise above our difficult, dormant or hard times and shine in all our glory when the time is right.

It doesn’t just take talent, intellect or luck for great people to do great things; Most often, it is simply the persistence and perseverance of doing the next right thing, showing up and suiting up, waiting patiently when we have exhausted our efforts, or getting on the yoga mat in spite of ourselves. We too must learn the lesson of persistence as we confront situations in our lives where we are either forced to wait or forced to gather all our faith to keep hanging on day in and day out, dangling on the edge of vulnerability. We are all capable of greatness in our own unique way.

The Yoga Sutras tell us is it the obstacles that lead us into a deeper understanding of ourselves which in turn allows to become deeply connected to others as well as the divine force that flows in and out of everything. Directly confronting our difficulties with clarity, compassion and persistence creates freedom. Freedom in knowing you are never really trapped in any situation. For today, see if you can change your perspective to any “rocks” that are in your stream. Stay focused, do the next right thing, however small it may seem, and try and find the lesson, the jewel that is hidden within. Today, be persistent in your journey towards balance, freedom, peace and serenity. Flow within the river of your life, patient, strong and free.

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

Experience the process. Everything is a process. The process is the road we walk from here to there. When we are truly present as our life unfolds, worry, tension, guilt and anxiety take a back seat. Surrender to this moment, try not to try too hard to shape it into something it is not or something you think it should be. The process will reveal more of what you are supposed to learn, what you need to do and where this path you are on is leading. Let go and allow yourself to simply experience the process (even if it is a difficult one). knowing with true presence and awareness, the road you walk is leading you to higher ground.

“If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us, filling our hearts with courage and enthusiasm
. If we resist the river, we will feel ranked and tired as we tread water in the same place”.

Elizabeth Lesser

Greetings dearest yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you enjoying sunshine! Allow yourself to flow with life today. Let go of your perceived control and try to be okay with the uncertainty that this human life is destined to experience. Remember that the goal in life is not to achieve some kind of concrete guarantee of future outcomes, but think of it as more of a journey towards a relaxed attitude toward the truth; that we really never know what the future will hold. Pema Chodron tells us that “a real cause of suffering is not being able to tolerate uncertainly – and thinking that it’s perfectly sane, perfectly normal, to deny the fundamental groundlessness of being human”. This “groundlessness” does not have to have a negative connotation or be something to fear. We can walk each day with faith, do the next right thing that is in front of us and relax into the mystery. Our life may unfold to surpass our wildest dreams if we just dare to let go of the shore and flow down that river. It is in this forward flow that; “The energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us, filling our hearts with courage and enthusiasm” allowing us to truly enjoy and be present for the scenery of this special day.

“Shall I tell you what I find beautiful about you?

You are at your very best when things are worst”

Quote from “Starman” movie

Utkatasana (chair pose) exemplifies the amazing ability of the human spiirt to rise up and find the strength, grace and power we didn’t even know we had. We have all had experiences where the bottom seems to fall out from underneath our life; a devastating phone call comes or some unexpected turn of events sends life into a tailspin. It is at precisely these times, when help seems to come out of nowhere; people organize themselves to help, families let go of their differences to work together for the common goal, friends come from all directions. It is at our worst, that we become our very best.

If you have a moment today, take chair pose for a few breaths. Breathe into the grounding at your feet, feel how your heart lifts and your hands reach up toward the sky. Embodying this powerful pose allows us to experience our own power and also the source of power around us that enables us to lift ourselves up and bask in the light and love that is always there, either to ignite our own spirits or maybe even more importantly, to lift others up. Thich Nhat Hahn says “No Mud, No Lotus” which means that we must go through the dark, the struggles, the sticky stuff to reveal our true beauty. In the depths of the winter, dig deep and reach high. Spring is surely on its way and we await its coming with joy, strength and resolve. Meanwhile, enjoy the snow!!
