Musings

Breathe Deeply Often

Over the years in various classes around holiday times I have often quipped that yoga makes family gatherings easier and after the holidays I've always had students that completely agree. Throughout family get togethers they practiced ujjayi breathing and centering techniques, one women even practiced sun salutations on her mothers front porch before opening the door.

At the heart of it, yoga is about relationships, relating to our self, others and the world around us. I personally use the barometer of family meetings to see how strong my yoga practice is. The interesting thing about families is that we all know each other's samskaras (habitual patterns) and we know how to press the buttons to pull them off centre.

With our continued practice we learn santosha (contentment) the more content we are with ourselves, the less apt we are to respond and to react in our habitual ways. This holiday season breathe deeply often and enjoy what is.

Inspiration

"Some things you’re not letting happen right now because the timing isn’t perfect for you. Some you’re not letting happen because you are very aware of where you are. But all things, as they are happening, are happening in perfect order. And if you will relax and begin saying, “Everything in its perfect time. Everything is unfolding. And I’m enjoying where I am now, in relationship to where I’m going. Content where I am, and eager for more,” that is the perfect vibrational stance.."
~ Abraham-Hicks
