Thank you to those of you who braved the cold tonight for yoga! Bonus tidbit: when you are struggling to fall asleep; take your awareness to your feet and consciously relax them. FEEL the tingling energy in your feet. Move to your ankles. Feel the energy there. Moving up the body, legs, knees, thighs, hips...etc stopping to feel each part. I bet you won't make it your eyebrows!
Namaste

This crossed my page in perfect timing... of course... because that is how the universe works. Wanted to share :)

Listen to the voice within that beckons you to extraordinary, inspired activity.

A lesson in anger today:
I drove my daughter to school this morning, almost late, as she missed her bus. I pulled into an empty parking area not for parents; parked for 10 secs while my daughter got out and ran into the school. Right after she jumped out, a very angry school bus driver honks at me. I back up my vehicle to get out of his way. With only inches to spare, the bus driver pulls ahead, nearly skimming the front end of my vehicle; unaware that I was about to drive forward at that moment. (which would have caused a collision) The kids were all looking at me out their windows. I imagine the driver may have expressed his displeasure with me. I drove away thinking "ok, I guess the buses were not done for the morning afterall". The bus driver however was so mad, that he made an unsafe decision in his driving. He wanted me to feel his anger. He wanted me to feel bad. But I didn't.
We've all felt this way; been angry with someone, and wanted them to feel our anger. " If we get really really mad, maybe that will show them!" In actuality however, it doesn't. Who does it hurt? Ourselves. The only person suffering, was the bus driver.
Lesson: when we are angry at a person or situation, remember- we are causing our own suffering. When we act in anger, we rarely act appropriately. It would be wise to step out of the anger, breathe and think of a solution.

Shanti~Peace :)

I LOVE these words, and the author

Another lesson this afternoon :) Today was not a headstand day. I asked for grace to fill me, and drift my legs upward. They did not.
After many attempts, I accepted this is not the day; even though yesterday was. I immediately moved into Hanumansana/the splits. The splits are not a regular appearance in my practice. Yet the moment I settled into them, there was Grace. Ahhhh.
Grace is always there to serve us. We just have to let go and surrender. Namaste :)
