Happy Super Full Moon !

It’s here, Thursday, December 4th, at 6:14 p.m. Don’t forget to set your clock! See the last supermoon of the year. Are you excited? This one’s going to be bigger and brighter than a regular full moon, and it's called the Cold Supermoon.

A Time for Reflection, Release and Renewal
Full Moons are more than just a pretty sight. Of course, many of us will ignore it. But we're given this chance to reset and reflect on our life journey. We're encouraged to let go of what is holding you back. Now is the time to release what weighs you down—emotional baggage, too many commitments, or toxic relationships.

Embrace the Stillness of Winter
At this time, embrace reflection, inner transformation, and well-deserved rest. As the days grow shorter and colder, take a moment to pause. What have you achieved? What lessons have you learned?

Navigate with Care
As tempting as it might be to jump into new projects or make rash choices, it's better to take it slow. The energy from the Full Moon can create chaos. Hold off on starting anything new or cramming your schedule. Awareness is key.

Now is the perfect opportunity to pause. Celebrate the incredible hard work you've put in over the past month. Inhale deeply. Exhale completely. Indulge in some well-deserved relaxation! Meditate, take a walk, have a heartfelt conversation with friends, or engage in grounding rituals to reconnect with yourself.
Make this time all about you. You've honestly earned it!

Enjoy the Full Moon! Experience Àse Yoga, where every breath counts. www.aseyogastudiotearoom.org

Whether we realize it or not, many of us have a damaged nervous system. So worry, stress, and anxiety are constant companions in our lives.

It's like a war inside us that shows up as anger and a lack of confidence. We complain and make excuses about life challenges. It's because we're harboring a nervous system stuck in one gear. Of course, we don't talk about it- and may even deny it. But our way of life says otherwise.

The root of this unrest lies in our autonomic nervous system. That's why we experience racing hearts, dilated pupils, and rapid breathing, not to mention high blood pressure, tense muscles, and a general sense of discomfort. Our bodies release adrenaline, preparing us to either confront or flee from perceived threats. We're experiencing a vagal dysfunction.

This way of living often comes from long-held conditioning. But also ignored past historical experiences that have left an imprint on our minds and brains.

The good news is that our bodies are inherently capable of healing our nervous systems. By activating this ability, we reclaim a sense of peace, order, and clarity. This potential lies within the vagus nerve, the largest cranial nerve. By engaging it, we transform the seemingly impossible into the possible and tap into our hidden potential.

At Àse Yoga, we activate the vagus nerve, we cultivate a natural state of peace and harmony. So give the gift of balancing your autonomic nervous system. Experience of Àse Yoga, where every breath counts and each moment offers a chance for a new beginning.

Peace,

Many of us are carrying around extra weight. Some of this weight is light, and some is heavy. It's comfortably stored in our nervous system, influencing every decision we make, often without our knowing. It's called trauma, and we don't even know it.

It doesn't matter if we aren't aware of it; we're still affected. Actually, it's this lack of awareness that prevents us from healing. And so, we often find ourselves in toxic relationships, doing things we don't want to do, and dragging along feelings of low self-worth. We have aspirations, but don't make them happen. Eventually, we start to answer to the labels we're given...

What is trauma? It's any experience that disrupts our peace and happiness. It's an inner wound that reveals itself as fear, helplessness, moodiness, delusions, confusion, or overwhelming emotions, leaving a lasting negative impact on our lives. We fail to bloom.

It takes courage to confront our trauma, our wounds. When we do, though, we understand how our past experiences are telling us what to do now. Suddenly, we realize we're approaching every situation as if we're still a child, a teenager being hurt, abused, or insulted.

But here's the good news: once we value ourselves, healing begins. We feel different, alive, inspired, and aware.

Our choices, once driven by trauma, are no longer. We're no longer defined by what has happened to us. No longer are we wounded, but worthy. We take care of ourselves. We become free.

Give the gift of healing. Experience Àse Yoga, where every breath counts.

Peace,

Have you ever taken a moment to look up at the sky? If you have, you may have noticed the moon—currently gracing us with its beautiful waxing crescent phase. It may not be full yet, but that thin, delicate sliver glimmering in the twilight holds a special meaning.

Physically, this phase marks the time when the moon begins to reveal itself, growing a little brighter each night until it reaches its full glory. But on a deeper, spiritual level, the waxing crescent moon represents fresh beginnings and limitless potential. Who couldn't benefit from a new beginning?

This is a time rich with intuition, urging us to leap into action and bring our ideas to life! Now is the perfect opportunity to start nurturing your intentions. We don’t have to take giant leaps; even the smallest steps in the direction of our intentions sparks incredible power..

So, why not harness the vibrant energy of the waxing crescent moon. Set your intentions--- fulfill your potential.

An invite..

Join us at Àse Yoga as we warmly celebrate the enchanting Winter Solstice on Sunday, December 21, at 9:30 am! This mystical event marks the shortest day and longest night of the year—a beautiful moment for the "rebirth of the sun."

How can we expect the New Year to be different if we don't tune inward? Throughout the year, we often talk about our challenges and sorrows while neglecting our own well-being. Much of our holiday season revolves around consumerism, leading us to overlook our true feelings. And so, we escape from them.

During the Solstice, we look within ourselves. It's a time for reflection on what resides in our hearts and minds. Let's use this moment to view our darker times as chances for personal growth, self-discovery, healing old wounds, and reconnecting with our inner light.

The winter solstice marks more than just a seasonal shift; it symbolizes a "rebirth" of light as we prepare for the longer days ahead. In tune with the universe's rhythm, the Solstice offers us a sacred pause—a chance to realize the natural cycle of death and rebirth. A fresh start is on the horizon.

Together, we will come together for an Àse yoga practice in a nurturing space dedicated to healing and rejuvenation, fasting, heartfelt sharing, reflection, and setting intentions.

Be sure to mark your calendar—reservations are required for our Winter Solstice Celebration. We're excited to share this meaningful moment with you!

Experience the essence of Àse, which embodies the spirit of "let it be so." Experience Àse yoga, where every breath truly counts.

Be grateful

How many of us pause to give thanks for our meals before we dig in? Or feel thankful for the keys we hold to open the doors of our home? Or the people who have supported us throughout our lives? Or the breath that woke us up this morning? It's worth asking: Can you truly feel thankful without embracing gratitude? The answer is yes.

Of course, thanks is a beautiful sentiment, but it can also be a fleeting nod of appreciation for a specific act, like someone picking up something you dropped. We express thanks to others after meaningful interactions, only to move on with our busy lives.

Meanwhile, gratitude is the heartbeat of our connection with existence. It isn't something we just practice; it flows naturally when we truly open our eyes and hearts. It's when we recognize that everyone around us—yes, even those who may seem to hinder us—plays a crucial role in our transformation.

Embrace the transformative power of gratitude. It's a deep appreciation for life's blessings—like our health and relationships—even on ordinary days.

Nor is gratitude a fleeting feeling, it's a lasting mindset that enriches our lives and brings inner peace regardless of circumstances. Gratitude transforms experiences!

Imagine transforming the giving of thanks into the powerful, ongoing experience of gratitude that enriches our lives every day. Only then do we cultivate a deeper, more lasting appreciation for life itself.

Giving thanks shouldn't just be one day a year; it should really be a way of life.

At the end of each day, take a moment to appreciate what you have. Be grateful for the good things already in your life. Slow down. Enjoy just breathing and the kindness of the people around you. Celebrate life, your ancestors, and your journey. I do!

It's true, in the United States and Canada, there will be a lot of Happy Thanksgivings exchanges with family, friends, and even strangers. But will we be grateful?

Giving thanks...

Experiences are part of life that everyone, even a newborn, encounters. Each of us carries a collection of experiences that can either break us or inspire our growth. Sadly, many of us tend to get caught up in what has happened to us rather than the potential it holds.

We talk endlessly about our past, even though dwelling on it won't change anything. Our experiences remain unchanged until we decide to shift our mindset on them.

While some individuals turn their difficult experiences into stepping stones to success, others let their past hold them back from living fully.

Over time, we often grow comfortable with failure, anger, victimhood, complaining, fear, and stagnation. We tend to blame our setbacks on our past experiences, when in fact, it's the choices we make.

Take a moment to reflect: Are you letting your past experiences hold you back? Do you catch yourself blaming your current situation on past events? You might be your own biggest obstacle.

Life is a collection of experiences. Within them lie gifts rather than curses. Even those born into wealth must learn to manage it to avoid losing it. Remember, a person born blind can still sing. Despite our experiences, we have the power to change your life.

So, what's the way? Let's appreciate our experiences. Every challenge we face is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. By uncovering these gems in our lives, we set ourselves up for real prosperity. Consider a practice that grounds you...

Peace

Our minds are under attack. We're mentally ill. Mental dis-eases are rising. If you're an adult, there is one in five chance you're mentally ill. Over 5.3 million teenagers are mentally unstable. Did you know there is a one in 18 chance you're severely mentally ill? It's an epidemic.

Today's adults and children are overwhelmed by mental clutter, faced with over 115 million YouTube channels and more than 100 social media platforms.

By age 11, nearly 50% of U.S. children own cell phones, climbing to about 91% by age 14. Currently, 817,000 shows are available, with projections suggesting this could reach 2.7 million.

As Marvin Gaye poignantly asks, "What's Going On?" Are our children inheriting our unaddressed wounds? Are we relying on social media as surrogate parents for them? Are we inundated with the wrong kinds of information that overstimulate us? With our focus on the physical aspects of life, we often overlook the vital mental and spiritual dimensions.

We're disconnecting from reality. We're experiencing a lingering sense of unhappiness, depression tied to unresolved emotions, and our daily lives. Diagnosis doesn't heal.

If we're not happy, neither will our children be. When was the last time you stepped into a museum or attended a live performance? When was the last time you took a walk? with your child? What books are currently on your reading list? Has your cellphone taken the place of a close companion?

Heal your mind. When our mind is healthy and in harmony, our children reap the benefits. Bring harmony to the mind. Cut back on social media. Take the gadgets or drugs out of your children's hands. Be selective about what you consume. Reclaim your mind, life, and your sense of harmony. Practice yoga, learn to meditate.

Have you ever taken a moment to really consider what you're doing? Is it simply about making money, getting a promotion, or chasing fame? What does success truly mean? Is it status and wealth? Are you measuring your worth by your houses, the schools your children attend, cars, jewelry, and gadgets?

But is that really success? Or an unending race fueled by ambition and competition, causing us to overlook the beauty of our own experiences. What if we change what success looks like?

By focusing on happiness, love, kindness, and truth. Living in the moment, free from the worry of failure, leads to a more resounding success that comes from feeling good within ourselves. Learn to breathe, meditate and forgive.

Experience Ase Yoga, where every breath counts

True success isn't about seeking validation from others or longing for compliments and recognition. Relying on the opinions of others only leads to misery, anger, and meaness.

That's merely following a scripted path: school, work, materialism, and egotism. In doing so, we lose our true selves.

With technology and AI surrounding us, it's easy to feel lost. We become robotic, caught up in the latest gadgets while missing out on what really matters —love.

Yet, when a doctor tells you you have one month to live--- everything changes. Suddenly, the quest for artificial success and the holding of grudges lose their grip.

Take a moment to appreciate those in your life. Make your life meaningful. Change your attitude. Remember, life doesn't wait around. So show love to those in your life. Feel good inside..

So what did you have?

Recently, someone started complaining about being teased in school over twenty years ago, then about the burden of being tall. It's wild how many of us zero in on what we didn't have and use that as an excuse for how we act.

Rarely do we reflect on what we did have... or what others have given to us.

If I were to talk about what I didn't have, I might mention that my mom passed away when I was a baby. But if I shared what I did have, it would be the elders who helped me figure things out. They encouraged me to be responsible, stay healthy, practice yoga, and tap into my spiritual side. They taught me how to read, introduced me to great books, and, most importantly, helped me discover who I truly am. I realized that no matter what I went through as a child, the power to make changes in my life now lies with me as an adult, not with my past.

Take charge of your thoughts and reflect — realize that every happening is the gateway to your greatness. Each challenging situation or uncomfortable moment is a reminder from deep within us to reconnect with who we really are.

In focusing on what we have, we stop battling with ourselves and the world around us. There's no need to run away, numb the pain, or chase after fake highs anymore. Instead, we find meaning in life and unlock our full potential. We become enlightened.

So, I ask, what did you have…

Happy New Moon: A time of strong emotions and potential major life changes.

Much of the grief we witness at funerals often stems from guilt instead of genuine mourning. As well, some lives are claimed not just by illness or age, but by the weight of a broken heart.

It's hard to accept, but it's true: much of this sorrow is tied to feelings of regret rather than actual loss. People often don't receive the appreciation they deserve while alive, leading to feelings of guilt after their death. This is reflected in the saying, "don't give me flowers when I'm dead." Our interactions shift dramatically once someone passes away.

How are you treating the people in your life? Even more, how do we resuscitate ourselves? First, by letting go of the idea that we did something wrong. Stop blaming ourselves for others' choices.

We can choose to embrace the role of a victim or a warrior; to be a walking wounded or to heal. The path we select can liberate us. Freedom is self-love—not just because someone else cares for us, but because we recognize our own worth.

When you embrace self-love, you become centered, you reclaim your birthright. It marks the unfolding of our unique selves, not the roles we play. Consider if you're clinging to certain connections out of fear. Letting go is a powerful act of self-love.

I've come to realize that my most vital responsibility is healing. It's not about meeting others' expectations, but fully embracing the unique being I was meant to be. In coming to this understanding, you may be alone, but you will be free...
