Yoga Talk

This yoga mantra or in layman's terms, a thought or chant to hold inside your mind when going to a peaceful place or needing to go to a peaceful place among chaos.

I am

in my spirit

I am 

inside myself

In my spirit

water cannot wet me

wind cannot dry me

fire cannot burn me

enemies cannot harm me

My spirit is eternal

Not of this Earth 

but of he who created me

Curving around

again

yet again

I create my happiness

I comfort myself in misery

Curving around yet again

Back into myself 

In a spiritual merry go round

********************************

When I have been faced with difficulties, this is my mantra, in whole or in part. Combined with Yoga breathing, it works well to help me handle the storms of life.

For the past year, I have been working on improving my balance & posture. 

Standing on my left foot, placing the bottom of my right foot on the side of my knee with my right knee to the side. I raise my hands above my head, bring my palms flat together over my head, elbows out to the side.

I hold this for as long as I can with eyes closed or focused on a, umm, focal point. Yes.

I switch sides once my left leg starts to warm & burn a little.

Inside my head, I repeat my mantra.

Feeling my shoulders relax, feeling my abs as well as lower back work to stabilize, balance, relaxing into it.

Peace is inside me no matter what is outside of my body.

Peace & calm, strength & stability, serenity & happiness.

Peace to you, my love, as another year begins. 

Namaste
