Shifting into Balance

Have you felt the ways that different practices help you live more fully in harmony with this force of life?

Yoga is one amazing method to enhance your ability to love. All of its aspects, including the poses, meditation, and yoga's foundational philosophy support a more complete and fulfilling experience of the loving ocean in which we swim.

Increased awareness, spontaneous gratitude, seeing the beauty in details without loosing sight of the big picture, and choosing to align with the current of grace are all ways yoga leads us to experience love. You can feel it in the healing and opening that comes in the physical body, in the delight of expressing yourself in such a whole way, and in the stillness which invites you to connect to your own essence.

This is the key to balance.

I invite you to meditate upon the following passage pulled from Anodea Judith's book "Wheels of Life".

Sit with the feelings that come up. Read it a few times to really internalize this wisdom.

"Living in balance is living in a state of grace, of delicacy, of gentleness. Love is that which endures, and likewise, what is done with love will endure. That which is out of balance will not endure. Only by being blanced within ourselves can we hope to balance the world.

Self-acceptance is our first chance to practice unconditional love. It doesn't mean that we have to give up striving to be better, but that our self love is not conditional on some future or imagined change."

Take a piece of paper and upon it write: I AM LOVE

With acceptance and compassion for ourselves, it becomes easier to make personal changes and accept others as they are. This is done from love.

As we live life from this practice, the world becomes a brighter and more balanced place because each individual is centered and illuminated from within.

How refreshing is it when you step away from work for a moment and take a deep breath? What if I told you I would email you a reminder to take that deep breath from time to time, just when you really need it? Daily Doses of Delight bring yoga and inspiration effortlessly into your every day life.

"Thanks so much for your timely words. I am grateful for your remenders to take time for myself."
