The Art of Appreciation

This is a beautiful article written by Laura Grace which I choose to share with you here

"Love is the way I walk in gratitude." ~ A Course in Miracles
Appreciating all that we have in our life produces harmonious relationships, creative and meaningful work, physical wellness, and genuine, long lasting prosperity. Appreciation validates our worthwhile affirming we are deserving of having everything our heart desires. And as we relish all the wonderful aspects of our life, more abundance is allowed to pour forth, creating a consistent wellspring of balance, joy and peace.
While teaching, I regularly pose the question, "How abundant do you feel in your life's work? How many of you are allowing your creativity to be your livelihood?" People will often wrinkle their noses for very few feel they are doing what they love to do. Yet, whenever we perceive we're not receiving something it’s usually because we’re failing to appreciate what we already have and blocking the nat...
MANA - Energy flows
Sep 11, 2020
Yesterday while connecting with a client, I reached for one of my 'wisdom cards deck', this particular one was 'Mana Cards - The Power of Hawaiian Wisdom' - A beautiful deck gifted to me during a trip to Hawaii last year.
My client intuitively choose a card which was #4 - MANA, the essential energy for life. That energy/force that is neither good or bad, it just is, and it is everything...
As we explored deeper, MANA is also the representation of thought, mind and breath. As you breathe you think, as you think you breathe.
Why am I sharing this with you today?
Well, as life is constantly presenting itself into every moment, MANA is there ebbing and flowing constantly, so are we ebbing and flowing within our own individual and collective lives.
My question to you is, how are you embracing with MANA? How are you allowing your breath breathe you? kindly or nervously?
As the MANA card reminds us to mind our thoughts and our breath, and that wisdom reflects in the knowingness that a cal...
What is LOVE?
Sep 09, 2020
Love is an energy, not a substance. It is essence, not matter. You can not contain it; you can not put it in a box, but you can feel it, you can taste it, and know it. Its presence is unmistakable. It is exquisite and profound.
And when you are expressing love, nobody, not your best friend, your parents or even your own mind can talk you out of it.
Love is mysterious and beautiful. it makes us happy, gives us hope, allows us to believe that the impossible can happen.
And yet, it is inexplicable. it can not be defined or analyzed, cataloged or priced. Its premier property is that when it exists, it can never be mistaken for anything else, and nothing else, no matter how worthwhile or supposedly grand, can ever be passed off as love.
Love is a divine energy that steps into human circumstances, a timeless essence that enters time. It is older, wiser, finer, truer, sw...

The Art of Being Present
Sep 08, 2020
Being Present in all moments open the door to experiencing life within a sacred reality, the life of the soul and of other souls, the life that is emerging from within, the life of the Divine within time and space.
Being in the Present enables us to participate in each moment without preconditions, anticipating the new, letting go of the old, and rejoicing in what is possible with others as the eyes of the soul awaken.
Being present in the moment does not just mean taking part fully in the external situation that may be happening, whether it is a crisis, a conversation, or a life-event that evokes feelings. It means bringing one's whole Self to that moment, including all the threads of love, wisdom, and relationship that are part of the self.
To be present in the moment is to exist in it with the full integrity of one's being. Here, all relationships are honored and all love is intact. Respect for life is integrated with the totality of what may be happening on the outer leve...
Opening up Obstacles...
Sep 07, 2020
Often when I'm teaching a Yoga class I will remind students (especially when they are attempting to be in the splits), that the tightness they're experiencing in their bodies is not an obstacle to flexibility, but an opening. The awareness of tightness/tension being present, is the beginning of flexibility being created. When we feel this tightness in our bodies, our first instinct is usually to back away from it or avoid it. It is not comfortable and the mind almost immediately begins to feel distressed.
At this point the teacher usually reminds us to breathe into the tightness of the uncomfortable stretch we feel screaming back at us in our bodies. As we begin to breathe and allow the tightness to be there, something amazing begins to happen. The breath we're breathing begins to relax our mind and our instinctive re-activeness, and we begin to feel the body start to open up and let go of the tightness. As we allow ourselves to stay in the splits, we begin to discover that if we ...
Everyone Gets the Same 24 Hours
Sep 05, 2020
Life — it’s what we do between the time we get here and when we go. We only get one at time, and despite what other folks might suppose, it’s ours to determine what to do with it.
* We don’t measure life in hours and minutes. We measure life in memories and moments.
* Life is when we take hold of it and live it.
Here are 10 Ways to get a life and start living it.
- Give yourself permission to claim your life. That’s right — permission. You’re the only one who can decide you are in charge of your life. Even though it feels like you’re not supposed to do so, turn off the internal editors, the old tape recordings, the “shoulds, have tos, and musts”, and the rules that didn’t come from you.
- Define what living means to you. It’s not as hard as it sounds. Just picture yourself at the end of your life looking back. What words would you want to describe how you lived your life and who you are as a person?
- Stop living in the future. Every time you think “someday” or “w ...
Trust to 'Let Go' and Enjoy the Ride
Sep 04, 2020
During my morning walking today, which I love doing in a beautiful nature park close to home, my attention was directed to this awesome grandfather filled with a great amount of patience, giving his all to teach his grandson the joys of riding a bicycle with no training wheels.
Initially it was visible the fear and hesitance from the little one in taking his foot away from the ground; balance wasn't there and the ground looks way too hard for a fall down, and besides that, the unknown of only two wheels was a bit frightening.
But little by little grandfather's love, care and support was like a magic wand on the boy's body awareness and strength, and a small distance of terrain and several pedaling turns was manifesting inch by inch as the new rider's trust was increasing, the new perspective of freedom was widening and their faces were happily softening.
After many interesting maneuvers, turns, swerves, sweats... it happened ! Yes, the little one just
...Can Yoga make you 'sick' ?
Sep 03, 2020
This is a cute and funny Blog by Ramdesh Kaur which I decided to share w/ you all.....enjoy it :) and have a good heart laugh through it ~ namaste
Oh no! I've discovered through extensive self-study corroborated by my dog and two blog readers that yoga can make you sick! Beware these yoga-related diseases!
Persistent Happiness "Joyitis"
This disease is very dangerous. No one likes someone who is persistently happy, preferring instead to be around those who form bonds through mutual complaining. Symptoms include smiling, spontaneous laughter, a whole heart, and loving everyone. If you find yourself suffering from Joyitis and want to be gloomy, cut your yoga practice.
Repeated Chanting "Mantraitis"
I wish I could count the number of friend's I've lost to this scary disease. Singing mantras not only sounds weird, but can also cause deep healing of long-time trauma, and who wants to loose residual trauma! We worked hard for that trauma!...

Are You a reflection of Nature... Is Nature a reflection of You ?
Sep 02, 2020
Two days ago during one of my "nature watching moments" I caught myself mesmerized with 3 bunnies playing and running around on a field of wild grass, showing no signs of fatigue, worries or fear. Surely the presence of predators in the wild is inevitable, but at that particular moment they were totally and completely immersed in the magic of the now.
Suddenly I observe my thoughts (and being on the 7th day of a body cleanse, I feel a bit more in-tune with my thoughts, feeling and awareness of what is going on inside of me and around me) and within the flow of thoughts, the question of prime importance was, 'Am i being fully present within each moment of my day?'
As quite often I say, share and hear within the practice of Yoga "...feel your body grounding on Earth, feel and sense the Earth, feel Nature, breathe in to the awareness of being the reflection of Nature, as Nature is the reflection of you..."
With that in mind, being me the reflection of Nature how much during my day...

What a "Good Walk" can do
Sep 01, 2020
A good walk is one of the best ways to clear the mind, to focus the mind, or just unravel the tangled threads of a situation. The mind works better when the feet are moving.
When my mother wanted to describe a troublesome, complicated situation, she would say “All the circumstances got involved.” It sounded funny at the time, but as I have dealt with life’s challenges I can see how often “all the circumstances get involved.”
To clear up involved circumstances, Aborigines do walkabouts. Essentially they walk until they find a solution or peace with a problem.
Native Americans do a vision quest in search of a guiding star for their lives. They can be on a walking quest for days or even weeks. Any kind of inner stagnation can become the object of a vision quest. They may be searching for a life goal, clarity on a relationship, or a vision containing the power to deal with a recurring life p...
