Good stuff to help raise your vibration -🕉️🙏

Affirmations are not just words; they are powerful tools that shape our perception of ourselves and reality. 🌌

As we repeat these affirmations daily, we nourish our minds with positivity and banish self-doubt.

The more we repeat these words, the more they become ingrained in our subconscious, leading to lasting change in our beliefs and behaviors.⁣ 🧠Each day, we reinforce our commitment to self-love, and it becomes a natural part of our being.

Plant seed of self-love with these 12 affirmations, remember, dear friends, love begins with ourselves, and from there, it blossoms into something extraordinary.⁣ ❤️

Monday 27th Feb 2023 ~ Medicine Buddha ~ Tara puja day

🙏💚💙🌺🌓

Now is the time to open your heart to LOVE WISDOM, as the First Quarter Moon emotes in quick-thinking Gemini to reflect the shape-shifting Spirit of a Sun in sensitive Pisces. This First Quarter Gemini Moon is when our mind-stream can be in free flow, healing wisely with compassion, loving intently without conditions. Such kindness can even tame a chattering monkey mind to shift focus consciously. Even on a stimulating and busy Moonday our emotional intelligence can stay on course towards higher aspiration with greater understanding.

How we think and feel and process thoughts, emotions and ideas, can now bring about a certain kind of awareness (of self in relation to the whole). Both the Gemini twins and the two Pisces fishes are multifaceted, versatile, curious and mutable, accenting the potential of a dualistic mind to flow with awareness into a dynamic and unified field of Oneness– and who knows, one may even experience a glimpse of enlightenment, living moment to moment within harmonic consciousness.

The Moon is also close to Scarlet Mars, accenting the end of Mars’ lengthy stay in Gemini is in sight. Feisty Mars has had a long and trying Retrograde, but the separating shadow is now lifting; and shifting signs just after Equinox, indicating some kind of ‘moving on’ and ‘completion’ can be addressed.

This Moon with Mars is also a time of action. Interestingly, our beloved late Lama, Kirti Tsenshab Rinpoche, chose to offer prayers and water blessings when Luna joined forces with active Mars, to activate and strengthen both the structure of water as well as our emotions.

Though today is also marked for fire offering, water blessings always generate merit, especially on route to Losar's 'Day of Miracles' on the Full Virgo Moon, March 7th. Wishing you great blessings on this Losar Medicine Buddha ~ Tara Puja, first quarter Moon day

It’s been awhile
But here I am.
An eye yoga practice including moving your gaze as if you are ticking off the numbers on the face of a clock is a great practice at any age, but esp if you’re finding the small print illegible.

You have to appreciate The Beatles bringing Eastern Philosophies and practices to The West - 🙏🕉

We look at the 80-year-old's regular yoga practice, complete with Headstands, eye yoga routines, and classes with famous friends.

You’re never too stiff or old to practice yoga-

90-year-old Tony Smith took up yoga to stave off boredom during pandemic lockdown. What he found was much more than a way to pass the time.

Time to teach the yoga~
I have windows open, and the air purifier going. If there is any chance that a student, or myself have had exposure I cancel lessons. I've been down awhile waiting for test results~ but back up! Happy for all of our negative results.
I get my testing done at UI Health, and I get the results back within 36 hours on their health portal, and a follow up call. The new testing protocol is a little more intense~ but the relief of knowing I have been doing my best with Distancing, Masks, and hand washing along with keeping up with a vegetable rich diet, I'm grateful for my health so far.
I'm happy to go over all of the precautions I take if you or your kids would like to come and have a lesson.
You can feel secure here.
Let's Practice ! and CALM DOWN. exhale.
