Day 16~ When Lying Is The Way To Go

Sometimes it is ok to tell a white lie. I find this particularly true when I feeling super low energy and reluctant to get moving…so I fib. I tell myself if I can just get to class, I can spend my entire time in child’s pose and just enjoy the lovely yogaish environment. Truth is, […]

Sometimes it is ok to tell a white lie. I find this particularly true when I feeling super low energy and reluctant to get moving…so I fib. I tell myself if I can just get to class, I can spend my entire time in child’s pose and just enjoy the lovely yogaish environment. Truth is, once I get there and start moving, things start working for me and I actually don’t want to stay in child’s pose. Other days, I look forward to the movement and today I showed up raring to go. Whether I am showing up with high or low energy however, there is always one constant – moments when I am not sure I am going to make it through certain poses. The internal question I am always left with is where to push through and where to give myself a little bit of a break. I assume that is part of the process?

Heart~ Day #7 (Week #4)

By Linda Malcomb • May 3, 2020
“There is a light in the core of our being that calls us home—one that can only be seen with closed eyes; We can feel it as a radiance in the center of our chest. This light of loving awareness is always here, regardless of our conditioning. It does not matter how many dark paths we have traveled or how many wounds we have inflicted or sustained as we have unknowingly stumbled toward this inner radiance. It does not matter how long we have sleepwalked, seduced by our desires and fears. This call persists until it is answered, until we surrender to who we really are. When we do, we feel ourselves at home wherever we are. A hidden beauty reveals itself in our ordinary life. As the true nature of our Deep Hear is unveiled, we feel increasingly grateful for no reason—grateful to simply be.” —John J. Prendergast, PHD, The Deep Heart

SUN!~ Day #6 (Week #4)

By Linda Malcomb • May 2, 2020
Seems like it’s been rainy, windy, dreary for eons. Which may have helped us shelter inside a bit more. I remember reading years and years ago in a Seth book that weather can be influenced, and even created by mass human emotion. Why not? We are far more powerful than we currently acknowledge, and science is beginning to validate many phenomena that had seemed inconceivable before. Those seemingly endless days of “bad” weather seemed congruent with the emotional tone of covid her in New England. And now SUN! Glorious, warming, invigorating, hope-filled Sun! Today I will be outside basking and gardening and thanking. And I’m sure the whole neighborhood, and most of New England will go outside, stand with our faces to the sun and breathe a huge healing breath of joy. And maybe the collective energy of that will resonate out across the word as a promise of brighter days to come.
