For so many, spring – which, really, we’re in – is the time to begin getting outside, cleaning house – physically and otherwise – and getting our physical and emotional selves ready for the demands of the next two seasons!
Definately, that is on my list for spring every year! Sun comes out; seeds get purchased and gardens get ready to be sown! All these things as well as the work demands and those of the family can get to a place where the ‘me’ time is quite interrupted if not squashed altogether…
This is where Yoga comes in for me…without the wonderful discipline of a practice, a view and a philosophy that I can live with…I would indeed be on the ‘most stressed’ list! My life has many diverse and wonderful appointments with many different circumstances and arrangements, duties and details and people on the dependancy list and despite the business of what goes on around and in me – and this is without the outer circumstances, sometimes merging; sometimes downright conflicting – that all things could easily become a huge problem without the practice of SLOW!
Although an often difficult concept – as those who know me can attest!- SLOW is what gets me through. Applying breath, balance and a a calm and comfortable pace in my practice, allows me to have something solid to take into my day and well into the evening. YOGA gives me the benefit of realxing, strengthening and stretching my body inside and out, as well as the emotional balance – which is sometimes a chore – to move through even the most frustrating experiences with a relative balance and ability to see a positive and authentic solution that is best for me, for now…
Slowing down enough to be present in my practice; at peace with where I am in it each day; and in the blissful state of ‘me-ness’ that comes with it ~ gives me the opportunity to float through the day in a much clearer state of awareness and alertness with a greater capacity for human compassion ~ all things necessary. In this way, I feel that I can contribute on a more level nature to myself, my community and the planet on the whole. Priceless.
So, with that, I invite you all to experience YOGA at THE ZEN DEN and allow the experience to wrap around you and envelope you in a healthy, balanced and gentle self -development that brings balance and good health to your mind, body and spirit.
