Word to your Buddha...

Reporting in: Did 20 minutes of Yoga last night.
Yay me.

Actually, it is incredible what yoga can do for a person. I forget, just as many people do I am sure, just how balancing yoga actually is. Sure you read about people sitting in rooms twisting their bodies into pretzel like positions to achieve enlightenment - and sure we may think 'suuuurreee you felt serenity afterwards...' But folks, there is some truth to it. The fire is burning in my belly again (no its not the jalepenos I had on my sandwich) - and my desire to flow back into yoga has grown since yesterday.

I recommend, even once - this weekend to sit cross legged in a quiet room, breathing deeply (in for 2 out for 4), feeling your energy flow into the floor, and out of your head - for 5 minutes.

Turn the phone off, turn the computer off, turn the lights off and light candles. Turn the stereo off, open a window... listen (or if you live on the corner of Fraser and Kingsway [is that even possible?] maybe keep the window closed...). Empty your mind, but don't fret if things pop up... in fact if they do? It's just the residue floating around and telling of what is weighing on your mind - just let it go. When you are done, slowly unfold your legs and give your self a big hug, and remind yourself that you are beautiful and that you are gracious. Then acknowledge the beauty in everyone you know, including those you have difficulties with. Send a well wish to all, including yourself. Most of all, yourself. You deserve it.

In other news...
