Verse 15
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it;
all we can describe is their appearance.They were careful as someone crossing an iced-over stream.
Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.
Courteous as a guest.
Fluid as melting ice.
Shapable as a block of wood.
Receptive as a valley.
Clear as a glass of water.Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?
The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present, and can welcome all things

The important thing is to be awake now, to feel the transparency, to feel the universal shining through the individual, and then to allow life to express itself though us.

Most importatnly, don’t be afraid to fail. It is in taking risks, trying out new ways of being that we find ourselves and create the life we were meant to live. Nothing would get done if we all waited untill we did it perfectly. Encourage yourself with compassion, focus, vision and a little light hearted humor. It is in the falls we take that we learn how to endure, create and make this world a better place for ourselves and others.

Thanks to all who showed up for the Relay for Life on Friday, It was HOT but lot of fun to see people of all ages enjoying their yoga and their community. It is amazing to see Karma Yoga at its best when a community comes together in selfless service for such an important cause. Photos to come on my facebook page. Much thanks also to all of you for congratulating me on my 500 Hour Graduation. As the journey continues, my hope is to bring all I learn and have learned to you all.

Greetings Dearest Yoga Students
“The Pali (an early language of Inda) word ‘Metta’ is commonly translated in English as ‘loving-kindness.’ Metta signifies friendship and non-violence as well as “a strong wish for the happiness of others.” Metta is a very specific form of love — a caring for another independent of all self-interest — and thus is likened to one’s love for one’s child or parent. Understandably, this energy is often difficult to describe with words; however, in the practice of Metta meditation, one recites specific words and phrases in order to evoke this “boundless warm-hearted feeling.” The strength of this feeling is not limited to or by family, religion, or social class. Indeed, Metta is a tool that permits one’s generosity and kindness to be applied to all beings and, as a consequence, one finds true happiness in another person’s happiness, no matter who the individual is.”
Greetings Dearest Yoga Students
If you were in class this past week, you undoubtedly felt the power of the Metta Meditation in your practice and possibly in your life. When we recite metta, we create that energy of loving kindness towards ourselves and others. In fact, whatever we focus our minds on manifests itself in an energy that moves inside of us and releases towards others. If we focus on fear, pain or hopelessness, we genergate a negative energy which ultimately ends up releasing on others around us. If we focus on happiness, joy and acceptance, that too will radiate through us to others. The art of loving kindness is a practice. Metta is a formal, simple way to practice cultivating loving kindness. You may want to try reciting the following phrases in a specific order.
May you be safe and protected.
May you be peaceful and happy.
May you be healthy and strong.
May you walk in this world with ease.
Ater metta flows easily to yourself, try to incorporate sending metta in the following order or pick one to focus on at each sitting.
A loved one or dear friend
A neutral person (someone you neither like nor dislike)
A difficult person (no need to start with the most difficult person, but someone whom you have a distaste for)
All beings, individuals, personalities, creatures (or break it up further by saying: All beings who are suffering, All children, All teachers, etc.)
The power of metta is one that has to be experienced. Look to this day with unconditional love and spread metta as far and wide as your heart can open.
