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.

**Please note: The Restorative Yoga & Acupuncture Session will be pre-empting the regular Monday Evening class this Monday**

“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.

The goal is not to tie ourselves in knots …

we’re already tied in knots.
The aim is to untie the knots in our hearts.
The aim is to unite with the ultimate, loving, and peaceful power in the universe.”

– Max Strom

Yoga helps us to “untie the knots” not only in our overworked, overstressed bodies but also in the parts of our hearts that we seemed to have closed. Focus your attention on this “ultimate, loving and peaceful power in the universe” and let it calm, soothe and give you the courage and strength to untie, unwind and open up the flood gates of your hearts. When the heart chakra is open and free, we have the ability to love and be loved, unconditionally, and there is absolutely no greater force than that in this world or beyond.

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.

Suggested Rituals for Autumn Equinox

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

Shanti Om,

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!

**Beach Yoga Tomorrow Morning at 8:45am***

“It is the wilderness in
the mind, the desert wastes in the heart through which one wanders lost and a stranger. When one is a
stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one
cannot touch others.”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Gift from the Sea

Namaste dear yoga students,

What a wonderful discussion ensued around the Gift from the Sea at our book discussion at Cedar Beach Friday night. It is amazing how yogic wisdom is weaved throughout this precious body of work. The central themes rotating around the need for solitude and creative pursuits in order to find your inner self as well as the importance in accepting and embracing changes in relationships and within ourselves. If you haven’t gotten a chance to read it, I would highly recommend it. As someone said in our discussion; as soon as you open the book and begin reading, it creates a calm flow of energy inside of you, both within the imagery of the beach and the beautiful, poetic rhythm of her words. Hoping to do another book discussion in the future. Thank you to all who attended for the conversation, insights, laughter and connection. Oh and special thanks to the Gift from the Sea!

Yoga this Week – May 26, 2014 – Happy Memorial Day!

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.

It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost,

but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
Arthur Ashe

Greetings dear yoga students,

Hoping this email finds you enjoying a peaceful Memorial Day Holiday as we honor those that have fought in service to our country. If we allow service to be at the center of our lives; in our work, families and communities, our lives will have true meaning and our dharma (one’s righteous duty or virtuous path) will surely be fulfilled.

Hanuman – The Monkey God

Hanuman is known as a powerful example of true devotion and service. He is worshiped as a symbol of physical strength, fierce perseverance and devotion. In the epic tale of the Ramayana he overcomes ordeals, obstacles and fear enabling him to perform supernatural feats in order to save his master, Rama’s wife, Sita; all in the honor of service.

Become aware of where or who you are meant to serve in this lifetime, connect to your dharma. Life is fleeting, our greatest accomplishments are those of the heart , so put your energy into serving your fellow human being and although it may not be dramatic, rest assured it is true heroism in its purist form

“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.
