“Yoga is the Uniting of Consciousness in the Heart” ~ Nisch
ala Joy Devi
I love this image. It is a nice analogy to see thoughts as passing clouds, and the mind as the big blue sky behind them…maybe not all thoughts are of love or loving things, but let this remind us to stay uplifted, be uplifted, and look to be uplifted! Feel this as you lift your heart, relax your shoulders and allow yourself to focus on a calm breath
“If you change the way you look at things the things you look at change” – Wayne Dyer Self-explanatory, right?! In terms of Yoga postures, inversions typically help us see things differently. If you practice the headstand you will definitely see whether there is any dirt under the bed! Kidding aside, gift giving season is a really tough one if you focus on what you don’t have and can’t afford. I like the image of flipping a perspective as if it were a pancake. You can do this by taking a few moments to sit still and breathe, walk outside in nature, go to a museum, donate food to a foodbox or a toy to an orphan…whatever you never do and/or enjoy. Give your regular mind a rest, and get in touch with the new perspective that is waiting to be uncovered so that you can literally ‘count your blessings’.
