Live From What Makes Sense

What Doesn't Make Sense:

1. Trying to rewrite the past and solve it

2.  Getting consumed with worry about what's going to happen

3.  Having to get things perfect, especially only giving yourself only one chance to get things right.

4.  Living your life based on what other people want you to do .

5.  Making the opinion of other people more important than your own.

6. Getting stuck in habits (mentally, physically, emotionally.)

7. Playing the victim.

8. Giving up.

9. Limiting yourself.
10.Taking everything so seriously

What Makes Sense:

1.  Be grateful for what you have right now. Give up all hope for a better past.

2.  Be present.

3.  Give yourself a million chances and embracing the messiness of life. Just do your best.

4.  Live your life based on what brings you the most peace and happiness. 

5.  Listen to yourself the most. 

6.  Keep learning new things, make the ordinary things extraordinary, stop replaying the same thoughts.

7. Yoga is the anti-victim mentality. You are not what has happened to you, or what has been done to you. You are so much more than that "label" so don't label yourself victim.

8.  Keep trying. Begin again.

9. The best things in life cannot be measured. Instead of thinking so much, feel more with your heart.

  

10Live.  Laugh more.

From Fear To Love

        

Do you sometimes  wish you could feel as empowered, as strong and as free from fear off your yoga mat as you do on it?

 

I taught a class tonight to over 20 people -a completely bizarre sensation hit me in the middle of class- It was total  peace. When I left tonight I was in such a state of flow and grace—aware of the feeling of my feet connecting to the  ground and the breath in my chest. 

It was peace; it was a state of no-fear. But it was more than that. It was love. And I don’t mean the romantic kind. I mean the big love, the deeper love, the all-encompassing love that goes far beyond our physical self and exists in and around all of us. I mean that love. I mean the kind of love that lifts you up from within, that soothes your mind and your cells and your soul.

Om Mani Padme Hum is a beautiful mantra, and one I absolutely love. “In the Tibetan tradition, it’s used more than any other mantra. It means: The jewel of consciousness has reached the heart’s lotus. When heart and mind are united, anything is possible.”

From fear to love—anything is possible!
