Tired

As I lay on my couch tonight, I realized that I really enjoy being awake and tired.

It's the only time I don't feel compelled to do anything at all.

I just relax!

Yoga Moments

This morning during yoga, in the middle of a long stretch of frenetic random body motions, I had a sudden realization that "This moment is all there is!" The thought brought a profound sense of presence and I completely embraced my practice. A focused intensity overcame me like I never felt before. This intensity of my own presence, even in the the midst of random body flailing, felt incredible. I had the sense that it would stay with me forever!

Later in the practice, as we were engaged in free movement celebration and dance, I had another uplifting experience. I imagined I was Spirit and that I had only 2 minutes to be here on Earth in this body. Instantly I was overwhelmed with the joy and excitement of being in my body. A smile beamed from my face as I celebrated my own presence with dance. I'm alive! I'm alive! I'm alive!

How glorious! :)

Fig Newtons

Today I was eating a fig newton and allowing myself to receive ALL that it offered.

I could see and feel the grain blowing gently in the wind.

I could feel the Sun and Water and Earth giving Love to the grain.

I could also feel the fig tree lovingly giving birth to its young fruit, feel the fruit growing and ripening, filling with Love and Light, blossoming in the Sun.

I could feel all this amazing energy radiating from the fig newton into my mouth and into my cells. I opened fully to receive this Blessing, Nourishment and Love.

How sweet! And it tasted great too.
