Kauai=Heaven

Beautiful, mild, and peaceful Vinyasa class today. As a teacher I love giving adjustments and assist.. For this same reason, I LOVE being adjusted.. It's lovely to have that connection with the teacher and to open a little further then our mind or body was allowing us!! OM!

Mind Chatter

Do you see yourself as a single wave or the entire ocean? Is your experience on the surface like a wave, or does it run as deep and wide as the oceans floor?

Once we realize we are the entire body of ocean we can control the waves and currents from the inside out.

I've never been more sure that I am the entire ocean, that I can bring in the waves and carry them out. I can be beautiful and at peace when the currents change and the waves become large..

The ocean serves us differently with each crashing wave. When the tide is high and the waves are strong I can glide in on my surf board practicing my acquired skills leaving my waves stronger then when I arrived.

The lessons learned have been ingrained as I waited for the perfect wave and road it in calmly to the shore. Only to stand in grace, beauty, and peace and the oceans doorstep.

Seane Corn

"The yoga practice teaches us that we are more alike then different." Seane Corn

Seane's class at Wanderlust was epic! The best way to describe it would be church for yogis!

Seane talked about how judging others and ourselves is wasted energy. "We are all just burning through the karma we have already created, good or bad."

I constantly put myself in situations to grow and evolve. At times it can be a challenge to fully absorb each experience. Seane reaffirms that, "We are not meant to take everything in at once. Yet let the seeds be planted and the soul will provide it when needed."

What a relief! Just sit back, keep the window to your soul open and let life flow through you!

Om!

Does Meditation scare you?

There was a time when the word mediation really scared me. I would picture the bald monk sitting tall with his perfectly shaved head, hands resting softly on his thighs.. Beautiful image!! But, with the stereo type image or idea of meditation, I stirred clear of this in the first few years of my yoga practice.

As I began to deepen my yogic knowledge or better yet, learning to "simply" enjoy my practice, I learned that there are many forms or path to mediation.

After finally getting out of my own way, my first deep experience actually happened with no planning.. This is the best way!

"A quite mind that is arrived at by concentration ends up being a dull mind, not a free mind."

When we are not waiting or watching for something to happen there is a natural sinking into our own source. This could take place while watching the sun set, thirty minutes later you realize your without a chatty mind and the sun has now set!

A teacher once told me when you can sit with the only conscious thought being that of the birds wings flying in the sky above you then you have experienced meditation! Working in your flower bed, swimming, running, watching the fire crackle in the Fall, practicing yoga, and my mother-in-law even threw in mowing as her meditation!

It's really simple, we have control over the ticker tape of thoughts running through our minds. All we need is a second of emptiness to reset. It takes practice, a little de-conditioning of the mind. We have been taught our entire life's to push, push, push! How's that working for ya?!

Today, see what it feels like to take five! Just five minutes without your computer, phone, TV, family, or friends. Breath. Nothing else. Just breath.

Namaste!

Wanderlust or Bust!
