This chart summarizes not only the Chapters in the Gita but also the purpose of yoga. ... Be well

Does it serve me? Often we talk about what "serves" us. Flow Yoga or Yin Yoga Work or rest... Run or walk Listen or speak Movement or stillness Happy or sad ... How do we really know what serves us if we don't even know how we feel? Are we paying attention enough to know? Are we choosing things because we like them or because they serve us? Choosing something because we like it is not the same thing as choosing something because it serves us. Something that we like may not serve us at all. Take a moment, close your eyes, breathe and ask yourself; what do you need right now? What will serve you at this moment and when you move forward from that moment will it support you in the next?

One week from today!

Every morning you wake up with a new body that emerged from the movement that you experienced the day before that, and the day before that. Your form comes from your motion.

Choose movement that is complete and whole for YOU designed to offer you balance, structure and freedom in motion. We create the body we have. You choose

Thoughts are your own and provide insight that inspires movement, creates choice and supports spiritual growth. We created ourselves and continue to do so as we evolve. When did you stop creating yourself? If movement is inhibited from within, then who or what are we listening to from without and where is it leading us? Is our meditation practice taking away the ability to ask the difficult questions, and the equally important, the ability to listen to the answer regardles...s of how uncomfortable that might be. Are we looking for the happiness that will remove all suffering and produce "good vibes only"? At what cost? Feelings that arise from those thoughts of discomfort are insightful and an lead us away from what no longer serves us. Thoughts always have purpose and we have the choice of thoughts we engage in for guidance, because they are useful, and we have the insight to move from them when they have served us and are useful no more. Thoughts are representations of matter and are encoded in matter. Thoughts are energy and create movement. Thought is an investment that can only be determined by your self.
