There are many people who are afraid of departure (death) or afraid about a loved one’s departure. I believe that when we decided to come to the earth plane, we signed a contract agreeing ~ yes, agreeing ~ that everyone living on the earth plane would have to leave at some point.

Yoga ~ and all religions ~ teaches us how to avoid pain as a way of living. I firmly believe that everything we need, and the power to be content, we have within Self ~ however, it’s human to want more.

In life there are moments when you can feel that you can be pushed around and even blown away by other people or circumstances. It’s really important to not loose your ground ~ as a tree with strong roots that, even with the wind, will not break nor fall and will just let the wind […]

When you are at your best, you can be more aware of what is working in your life ~
What is your perspective?
What are you grateful for?
What are the things you are enjoying at this time?
What are the activities that are bringing the most joy to you at this present time?

This is a great exercise to balance your energy and to help relax your shoulders and neck.

I just finished a workshop on Anusara Yoga which talked about opening the heart ~ opening to what is already available in The Universe for us to let it flow inside. So, I remembered this little story I wrote about 13 years ago ~

After my last article “Just for Today I will love my body”, I got feedback on how some attitudes and thoughts can affect our body and especially our lower back.

 Just for today I will admire my body as the living miracle that it is.

 Just for today I will love my body and appreciate all the functions that it does for me.

 Just for today I will love myself and I will behave accordingly ~

Last time I talked about acts of kindness and how they rekindle the Soul and brighten up our hearts. I received great feedback from all of you on the ways you apply your acts of kindness to your loved ones, your community and even strangers.

Every encounter you have with another person will be more meaningful if you repeat to yourself the statement “Thank you for being here” as a reminder of the miracle every existence is.
