“don’t confuse exhaustion for relaxation and agitation for energy.”
per Judith H. Lasater as I make a note to self… noticing so many agitated people on the freeway this morning as I make my way to the studio… People don’t need more coffee to wake up; they need more Yoga to “wake up” from their unconscious living that goes from one extreme of scatter-brained mode of “busy” to avoid fear and Self – then 180 degrees to autopilot routine in a robotic, the “zone” mode.
Peace…
Let’s really “wake up” and smell the roses – hug that tree – as we take it all in with a deep invigorating breath – life is not about playing reruns – it’s not a rehearsal – it’s the center stage you are on, right now, unrehearsed. CALMNESS Prevail so much that you can even hear the pin drop as you play witness to that you on the center stage – that CALM is your inner landscape.
Joy…
I am off to the Big Apple !
Local Ragazzi Boys choir debut at a Choral Festival at Carnegie Hall – Big breath – must must take it all in. The Vibe – Music is so energizing and healing at the same time – I am so excited – New York is my favorite city after Tokyo!
Will have to pay a pilgrimage to Jivamukti Yoga studio as I adore Giselle, the Bay Area Jiva… love to see her place of learning and the feel the vibe of love. Then to Dharma Yoga & hopefully take a class from THE Sri Dharma Mittra… the place of learning of superb local teachers like Nancy and Wendy I adore; Locally, we are so blessed with amazing teachers like Jean and Brenna – I am most influenced and inspired by these two special Sri (radiant) teachers as they first planted the passion for Yoga in me. San Francisco- Bay Area is home to such great teachers, I know I need not travel to NYC to find anything greater but just the idea of legends you’ve read about you get to check out is … intoxicating of a high.
The thought of NYC yoga gives me the Goosebumps! Engaging in Ujai breath – detoxing to get ready as I have to clear my respiratory system TODAY.
I am so lucky to get to travel with R, the bright soul, the pure hearted innocent one, for this journey is a special one.
Both Peace and Joy are found within.
