New Moon week but lunar cycle to move towards full moon when you can see what was hidden in the dark… all that lies dormant only to be woken up from slumber. Love this pointing – the gypsy dreams on while the lion protects her …

With a different mindset, props appear everywhere – with props comes possibilities of reaching what seemed wobbly for the dizzy-head.

Aide of props is like support from friends and loved ones – brings within reach what appeared beyond the grasp. Makes possible what may have seemed virtually unattainable here and right now – When you can hold the pose longer in steadiness and freedom (sthira-sukham-āsanam :), body has a chance to re-configure, new cells have a chance to sprout and grow towards the sun:) Now onto the other side for that “balance” for the balance challenged – no vertigo today as you can really let go when you have the support of just the right props. Gratitude to the Iyengar teachings channeled through his masterful teachers.

Diwali Celebration:)

Festival of Lights on the darkest New Moon evening. Let’s light some candles and allow what lies dormant within you to shine brighter.

Here are some affirmations to share as you come up with your own:

*I choose love, joy and tenderness and open my mind and my heart, allowing abundance to flow into my life.”

It’s late so I must turn in – so good night~

*Sweet dreamland awaits where I allow the conscious and the subconscious worlds to bring about peace and joy within to be shared with all I come in contact with; may profound learning, natural healing and soaring growth and freedom take place.”

“I am not afraid to journey into an internal landscape where I may connect to the Divine to manifest positive changes in the material world.”
“May there be bliss and exquisite comfort in my slumber tonight so I may see a more joyful world with fresh and renewed senses tomorrow.”
