when you live in the present moment …

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

– Buddha

Subbed a class this morning. Subbing is fun. It’s like babysitting bunch of cute kids and you are not a mother to them. Just pure fun to reflect back the energy and see if something new can happen. Any shared vibe creates the tribe.

Here’s another place I’d like to frequent more often … if it were not for the fact that it’s a bit off the beaten path.

Namaste:)

We are complex and in need of understanding. As betrayed as they may feel about their body, patients have to rethink the perception of pain first, according to Neil Pearson, yoga therapist from Vancouver. Typically, it’s an enemy to battle, to overcome… how does that work for you? How does numbing work for you? As with one with the lowest tolerance level for any kind of pain, it’s ironic that I find his teachings so accessible.

Given the recent letters from Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, United States Surgeon General to doctors about an unprecedented opioid epidemic in US, I think what Neil is sharing is so valuable to greater and greater number of people – who ordinarily lead a very normal strength based lives. As with anything, healing first comes from shift in how you frame the condition of pain that begets dependencies and then … empowering the sufferer. It’s not easy once you are in the eye of a storm so best have a regular practice. Not when it happens. Please take care – Namaste.

Flames of the fire are so beautiful, but … untamed fire can also be so destructive. Very sorry to hear of this tragedy while not personally affected, I feel that I could have been there if I were in the area. I mean, it could happen to any of us and our friends. While exercising fire safety, really drawn to fireplaces lately … precisely because the temperatures have dropped. It can get chilly like chattering teeth – COLD outside. Fireplaces, the heath draws us to find the quiet nearby as you feel the flickering …we find the kindling of fire within – so warm. There’s outpouring of love amidst the ashes. Prayers to the victims and their families.

The yogi offers his labyrinthine human longings to a monotheistic bonfire dedicated to the unparalleled. This is indeed the true yogic fire ceremony, in which all past and present desires are fuel consumed by love divine.
