Loving Kindness

Loving kindness means to be kind and merciful. To be upright and sincere. To be joyous and content. To let everyone you meet go away better and happier than they were before you stood before them. Loving kindness is the living expression of god.

Exquisite Paradox

The most exquisite paradox: as soon as you give it all up,

you can have it all. As long as you want power,

you can't have it. The minute you don't want power,

you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible.

-Ram Dass

My Imperfections

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God

as my successes and my talents

and I lay them both at his feet.

-Mahatma Gandhi

All of Life

All of life .. everything in the great web of life .. is interconnected.

Our individual health and happiness is not separate from the health and happiness that others seek.

Our individual inner strength and spiritual wisdom affect the world outside us, just as the innter strengths and spiritual wisdom of others affect us.

Earth, air, fire, water .. all .. we are totally dependent on these forces of nature. For it is these forces which constantly supply the nourishment we need. If these forces, within us, are weak, we will not achieve health or happiness.

In the same way, there is a collective intelligence, and if this collective pool of intelligence is undernourished, then our individual intelligence becomes confused and disoriented.

The best way to help yourself is to keep nature healthy and strong, for we are an integral part of it.

Depression

There are many causes of Depression. From genetic factors, to brain biochemistry, to environment stressors, to low self-esteem or excess worrying. Whatever the reason, the pain is still real, the overwhelming sadness and despair, and the tears that come when no one is there.

Yoga encourages us to seek out others to open our heart to, Yoga friends who will embrace us without judgment. Yoga also asks us to:

Know .. that you are sacred and precious just as you are.

Know .. that your life has worth and value.

Know .. that there is beauty and wonder all about you, in the people you meet and experiences you have.

Know .. that goodness and joy are already within you.

Know .. that you have a divine purpose, and that is to be happy, healthy and whole.

Know .. that when you smile, the body and soul smile too. Smile softly to yourself and Know that you are loved.

Om Peace!
