Luscious Lotus Yoga

You yourself are the abyss that opens beneath you, and the bridge you have to cross. You are the path you must follow. You are the mountain you must climb. You ...are the cave you must find and enter, the heart that holds the eternal fire. And, resting there, you will realize that you are the cloud floating in the heavens, the rain falling and then evaporating once again. Then you will know God. ~ Lars Muhl: The O Manuscript [Art: Mi Kyong Chai]

It's okay not to have New Years resolutions It's okay not to have big goals for your life It's okay not to have plans you want to... Manifest It's okay not to chase your dreams That path is not for everyone Some walk the path of Unbecoming They are traveling the road Backwards Seeking the core What is basic and essential What has been there all along Though we may be headed the same direction Our spirals are mirror opposites Some walk the path of the visionary Creating abundance and Dancing inside a multiplicity of forms And Some walk the path of the serpent owl Becoming more and more naked Shedding layers of fantasy into the ash Night sky Sitting in the dark And seeing the way the wind moves They do not walk a line or poise their arrow to the target They sit at the bottom of the ocean And wait Letting the waves devour them They are following the pulse of listening To silence Like a tiger in the brush Waiting for existence to strike lightening Into the fire of the heart For this kind Nothing less will do Some are opening the palms of their hands And unraveling To become Less and less Until they are No-Thing To become the still point In the center of All You know who you are Keep going ~ Maya Luna https://linktr.ee/depravedanddivine [Art: kelogsloops]

Tonight at 6:30 through Om West Online. Details below.

This too shall pass. I was taught these words by my grandmother as a phrase that is to be used at all times in your life. When things are spectacularly dreadful..., when things are absolutely appalling, when everything is superb and wonderful and marvelous and happysay these four words to yourself. They will give you a sense of perspective and help you also to make the most of what is good and be stoical about what is bad. ~ Claire Rayner [Image: Max Rive Photography]

Tonight, gather your bolsters and blankets and cushions, belts and blocks and join me for this healing dive inward. Work your way through the layers and into y...our heart centre. A practice of deep embodied self-love. You are so worth it. You need yoga props for this online class. If you don't have props, check out my how to videos about how to make your own: https://youtu.be/TqydHHW52ek

Learning to distance yourself from all the negativity is one of the greatest lessons to achieve inner peace. Roy T. Bennett Akseli Gallen-Kallela - Lake View, 1901.

Difficulties and adversities viciously force all their might on us and cause us to fall apart, but they are necessary elements of individual growth and reveal o...ur true potential. We have got to endure and overcome them, and move forward. Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever. ~ Roy T. Bennett [Image: Sara Shakeel]

Feeling blissful after this practice. Happy Solstice. Namaste. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJE1RNrpgWp/

Fear does not prevent death. It prevents life. ~ Naguib Mahfouz [Art: Sasha Vinogradova: Mela Amory]

I hope you can join me. Send me a message and I will send you the link.

Thank you for sharing this Chrystal CayJay. So many people tend to relate to feelings, sensations, thoughts and all the cognitive activity that happens in the mind only in the mind. Neuroscience is clearly arriving at the understanding that the body is so essential for mental health recovery. That the body quintessentially keeps the score (Bessel Van Der Kolk).... We know that many individuals live in the mind, which disallows the body to connect to reality, we live in the stories of this hurt, and that fear, and that regret and so on. We make the body believe it’s still really happening. When we recognize the body, and allow it to inform us so we can regulate it, we are in the present here and now. Yoga/meditation/mindfulness are the key to helping us bridge this union that yoga is for body/mind healing and wellness.

Beautiful practice that guides us through multiple layers of being. Spend a little time cocooned with the deepest part of yourself that always remains full of light and love. Cultivate clarity, deep rest and renewal. Come. You’re so worth it.

This Sunday. Give yourself a pre-holiday gift. Tune in to the deeper part of yourself and tap into your innate ability to be and stay well.

You are in this time of the interim where everything seems withheld. The path you took to get here has washed out. The way forward is still concealed from you. ...The old is not old enough to have died away, the new is still too young to be born. You cannot lay claim to anything in this place of dusk. Your eyes are blurred and there is no mirror. Everyone else has lost sight of your heart and you can see nowhere to put your trust. You know you have to make your own way through. As far as you can, hold your confidence. Do not allow your confusion to squander this call which is loosening your roots in false ground, that you might become free of all you had outgrown. What is being transfigured here is your mind and it is difficult and slow to become you. The more faithfully you can endure here, the more refined your heart will become for your arrival in the new dawn. ~ John O'Donohue [Art: Jeanie Tomanek]

Ask yourself honestly: are you looking for a steady, predictable life? Is this what you want? If so, you must realize that the world cannot offer you this. Ever...ything in the world is in the process of change. Nothing is steady. Nothing is predictable. Nothing will give you anything other than temporary security. Thoughts come and go. Relationships begin and end. Bodies are born and pass away. This is all the world can offer you: impermanence, growth, change. ~ Paul Ferrini [Art: Tino Rodriguez]

Recognize that the very molecules that make up your body, the atoms that construct the molecules, are traceable to the crucibles that were once the centers of h...igh mass stars that exploded their chemically rich guts into the galaxy, enriching pristine gas clouds with the chemistry of life. So that we are all connected to each other biologically, to the earth chemically and to the rest of the universe atomically. That’s kinda cool! That makes me smile and I actually feel quite large at the end of that. It’s not that we are better than the universe, we are part of the universe. We are in the universe and the universe is in us. ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson [Image: Josiah William Gordon]

No matter what has passed, we can begin again. We can only begin now, where we are, and it is this now that becomes the seed for all that lies ahead. In our rel...ationships, in our community, on this earth, we may not live to see all the changes we work forwe are the planters of seeds. Mindfulness and compassion are genuinely undertaken one step at a time, one person, one moment. Excerpt: After the Ecstasy, the Laundry #mindfulness #jackkornfield See more
