Gratitude.
Most of us try our best to have this a part of our daily practice but Thanksgiving gives us an opportunity to look at things a bit more closely. Here are a few things which I’ll like to share with you, which I am grateful for. Interesting that none of it has been gained through material wealth and the accumulation of possessions. For myself, personal connections that bringing all types of experiences, from challenging to pure ecstasy is what I love most.
This Thursday my family and I will sit with friends that welcome us each year to share their Thanksgiving Day meal. When you are 3,000 miles away from your family, that’s a beautiful invitation.
I am grateful to have such wonderful new friends.
Each year (since I moved out here 4 1/2 years ago) I have a Holiday Party. This year my sweet brother will leave his family and commitments behind and fly 3,000 miles to join the party.
I am grateful that his year I will see my brother in December.
Each class I teach I can see your will, your discipline and your commitment. When you come to class you keep up beautifully. Yoga can be transforming. Bringing about the change in you brings about a change in those you touch. And for me, that what it’s all about.
I am grateful that you show up each week and commit to yourself to be great!
We practice gratitude in our yoga/meditation and those experiences bring grace into our everyday living. It’s what helps us to stay sane, keeps us balanced and allows us to have a healthy perspective in life. Making gratitude a part of your daily practice can allow some lovely subtle shifts to happen…especially as life revs up in December.
It’s time for some Green Energy Prosperity! Begin to acknowledge Flow within your life. Have a gracious openness and acceptance of your own personal truth. Allow yourself to let go of the things that no longer serve you and make room for all those wonderful opportunities that are waiting for you. Please join me tomorrow (Friday) at Village Green Yoga for one of my very favorite Kriya’s. Green Energy Prosperity! We’ll breath powerfully, sweat, chant, and deeply relax. If life has gotten too crazy and you’ve been away from class, now is the time to come back and connect with that flow that exisits in us all! I am not defining prosperity in terms of money. Though that is a component of it. I see prosperity as a shower of all the brilliant and exciting opportunities that come to us. That can certainly be in the form of currency (current~flow…) but it can also be the wealth of your relationships and the richness of your own life journey. Yogi Bhajan would say to us you can chase it, run all out to catch it. Completely exhaust yourself (which we all do!) or….you can be a beautiful, graceful and intuitive being and let it come to you. Prctice that Flow. This is not really a passive attitude. It’s actually quite active, but not exhausting! You still need to work hard but you also need to develope the intuition to see what is right before you and seize it!
