"There is a a place between expression and suppression, and that is observation". Vipassana meditation is engaging in meditation for an extended period of silence and allows you to observe what is in your mind without reaction. It remains on my short list of something I would like to experience.

Woke up to a very rare snowfall this
morning. There is something so
grounding and peaceful about it, and
it brought a special inspiration to my
yoga practice. I found myself
contemplating one of The Four
Agreements, specifically,
"Never take
anything personally". Focusing on
breath and movement, allowing this
concept to tumble in my mind and
heart, I could contemplate this deeply.
To shed taking anything personally is
not only healing of past hurts, but
utterly freeing in the present. What a
lovely morning and a happy way to
start my day. May this bless your day, too. 💕👼🏻💕

One of my favorite yoga poses… Viparita Karana, simply called Legs Up the Wall. So relaxing and fantastic for tired legs. I hope you try it… you’ll be very glad you did!

We choose to go to the Moon,” Kennedy said. “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”

All is yoga...

“Practice, practice, all is coming “ - Sri Patabhi Jois.

Cleaning a toilet, waiting tables, writing a contract, performing surgery...

It’s not what we do, but how we do it.

With integrity, goodwill, to the best of our ability, in service to the greater good.

The start is small and simple, with determination, perseverance, and hard work we progress... to serve at a higher level, perhaps to teach others...

For me, there is perfect correspondence between the practice of yoga and progressing quickly to teach others yoga; and the practice of real estate and progressing quickly to support others in the practice real estate. It’s not the easy way, it is the hard way. And I welcome it, love it, because it is hard.
