May I be safe
May I be healthy
May I be happy
May I be at ease
May I be filled with loving-kindness
May I be peaceful
It’s time of gathering – family – friends – abundance – harvest – and at the same time, for many, it’s also time of deep reflection. I know many have suffered a loss; I know many are suffering right now; so … I am lucky enough to worry more about how to get the time to go to the gym and a yoga studio to exercise and practice to better myself, to re-energize as Thanksgiving suppers have a tendency to turn us into sloths – but all the more – we need to take the time to take care of ourselves inside out. In the hassle and bustle of the holiday season, onslaught of social obligations and commitments, we need to take the time, carve out the time to be with nature and be on our mat for that meaningful soulful time to breathe and balance and strengthen not only our muscles but our resolve. Resolute in our resolve for strengthening our relationships, for disciplined self-care regimen, at this especially vulnerable time. Then, we can make space to really be present with each person we hold dear and precious in our lives. To really savor and truly appreciate this present moment, imbued in the golden Autumn light.
21 days until Winter Solstice. Have you Yin-Yanged for wellness today?
Are you feeling whole and strong today? Or are you feeling a bit sad, dull, sluggish or fragmented – if so, why? And what would help you feel whole and strong again?
What if I said, soften your heart and be gentle with your words …
May you be safe
May you be healthy
May you be happy
May you be at ease
May you be filled with loving-kindness
May you be peaceful
