Tis The Season...


Tis The Season...

Yuletide is upon us. My feelings are complex and a bit fuzzy at the moment. I'm just letting them be what there are and letting the day be what it is. It's time for me to relax and not think too hard at the end of a long road of craziness for me. What I'm realizing is that I don't have to have it all figured out right now. I am allowed not to have a beginning-to-end mapped out plan. I'm can just eat a tasty dinner and come home and binge watch "Stranger Things 2" or a K-Drama. I can let the evening unravel as it sees fit and there is nothing that I have to do or force to materialize or make. I can let things just evolve. That is the less I'm learning from this practice. How not to force tree pose. How to stand in the moment and just breathe.

Day 11 of My Second Month of Yoga


Day 11 of My Second Month of Yoga

Today was in many ways, somewhat of a breather. I got a chance to reconnect to the energies of my Reiki practice as well, and I am reminding myself  what it's like to give myself Reiki on a daily basis before bed. I love Divine White Light's Reiki YouTube channel. The energy that comes from her hands is amazing, beautiful and so healing. Today's yoga practice was all about that Shakti Divine Feminine energy -- the energy that I've been developing more of in my life by allowing myself to be in touch with the yin-driven vulnerable sides of myself. Allowing your heart to really feel is one of the most important steps towards healing. In today's society, much of our time is spent armoring ourselves to present a picture of "normalcy" and competence -- a sense that we are "O.K." Yoga is about honoring yourself and your emotions in the real and honest place that they are in each moment. I was able to do that with yoga and Reiki today and by relying on the strength of my spirit guides and divine angelic beings. The book of the moment for me is "The Essence of Reiki: The Definitive Guide to Usui Reiki" by Andy Chrysostomou and Dawn Mellowship.
