Ok where did February go? Already inching toward March with about 50, 000 things to do. So I’ve realized that when it comes to practicing on my own, I lack the discipline that I have when I am with a teacher. Like clock work I go to him daily to kick my you know what into shape. My mind spins with thoughts, ideas sometimes angry sometimes annoyed, but I know that when I go before my teacher I take that moment to practice spaciousness. I can become one with the breath and the asana and feel myself let go of unnecessary thoughts. A strong, healthy, supple body, is the temple for a calm serene mind. When the body and mind is receptive then you can feel the power of your own soul! This takes practice thus the necessity to practice every single day! Even if it’s just waking up and thanking God for all that we have been given. Just whisper the words “Thank You God” (or whatever your higher power may be) Start NOW to become aware that we are something beyond just the body and mind, that there is a higher power witnessing our daily life. This simple awareness gives you Power beyond belief. First, You must find your teacher, your guide on this journey, without a teacher, we are lost without Focus. Ask for your teacher… Just ask and he or she will appear before you.
