Snow Moon - Full Moon in Leo - Upcoming Yoga Love Offerings

Happy Friday Yoga Lovers! We are now in the 3-day window of the first Full Moon of 2016! Often referred to as the Snow Moon, and landing in the fiery sign of Leo, meaning we have the potential to use this empowering energy being offered up to embody the strength, courage and pride needed to continue forward on our journey with authenticity. 

When we are born into the Universe, our life spreads before us with unimaginable potentialities. As human beings, we have the power of choice and we make choices everyday. It is the nature of our choices and the consequences that spring from them that determine the many events and occurances in our lives. Our decisions stitch and dye the fabric of our existence from day to day and life to life. 

Our body language communicates a tremendous amount of information about how powerful and capable we believe ourselves to be. In this empowering TedTalk Amy Cuddy speaks about 'faking it' until we 'become it,' encouraging us to practice 'power poses' that encourage feelings such as pride, freedom, and confidence when we are struggling to experience these feelings in our lives.

Here's a favorite 'power pose' of mine ~ embodying this shape offers me a sense of freedom, and I feel this way when I am one with nature, when I am able to quiet the external noise, and when I'm able to slow down from the busy and bustling pace of everyday life. What's your favorite 'power pose'? 

May the love that informs every cell in your body permeate every thought in your mind. May the joy of the Universe flow through you every moment. And may the power of the Divine compassionately empower your actions and fulfill your needs. Achieving this, you will know YOU ARE THAT WHICH YOU SEEK. 

Come, join me for one of these upcoming inspiring Yoga Love offerings to help you spark that inner flame so that you may become in practice all that you are in potential. See you soon Yoga Lovers!

SURRENDER into the natural rhythm of your practice with strength and grace.

I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to share what I love in such a naturally healing setting such as the beautiful desert southwest!

 

In Dr. Donald Epstein's book "Healing Myths: Healing Magic" he contends the myth which states that 'healing takes a lot of work and requires full commitment' and then explains that healing is easy, effortless, and natural. 

Healing is natural and spontaneous, but an inability to experience our body with confidence and trust can hinder the healing process. 

Our body attempts to heal itself by releasing what it no longer needs - physically, chemically, emotionally, or energetically - but often our intellect tries to resist or stop this process. 

By surrendering to the natural rhythm and flow of life, we step into the natural rhythm and flow of healing. 

The spiritually wise and greatly inspiring poet Rumi offered this piece, which elegantly depicts this concept of gracefully surrendering to what naturally is without the need to alter the process in any way. 

"Joseph is back.

And if you don't feel in yourself

The freshness of Joseph,

Be Jacob.

Weep and then smile.

Do not pretend to know something

You have not experienced.

There is a necessary dying,

Then Jesus is breathing again.

Very little grows on jagged rock.

Be ground.  Be crumbled.

So wild flowers will come up

Where you are.

You have been stony for too many years.

Try something different.  Surrender."

Rumi completes this passage with such an empowering statement.

"You have been stony for too many years.

Try something different.  Surrender."

Most of us have a terrible time with surrender.  We may think of it as weakness.  We may imagine that it means being out of control.  We are correct on both accounts.  It is an admission of weakness - or an inability to "make" things happen in our lives.  It is also a release of the "idea" of being in control - when in reality, we have never been in control at all.  Control is an illusion. Thus we are confounded by the outrageous words of the poet who asks us, even directs us, to try something different. That kind of different, to the conventional mind, is absurd. 

Try something different.  Try.  Something.  Different. Surrender.

I invite you to try something different. I invite you to join me in a practice where I will meet you where you are and guide you into that space of deep, healing power within - where you can finally let go of all that is keeping you stuck in a space of disease. Try something different. Join me on this healing yoga journey and surrender into the natural rhythm and flow of life, and step into the natural rhythm and flow of your healing path.
