Day 28~ Going Rogue

Today I went rogue and attended a class at another yoga studio. I know, crazy stuff. I couldn’t make any of the classes at OTM work with my schedule (full disclosure, the 8am class was an option if it hadn’t been for the extra glass of wine the previous evening) so it did seem like a good time to spread my wings…to the next town over…woo hoo! I attended a slow flow class that was very true to its name. It was an extremely peaceful, calming experience with some rather lovely music. Best part though was at the beginning of the class the instructor said she was really going to focus on Mountain pose. Hello?! Did she know that was the pose of the month at OTM (thanks to me, you’re welcome.) In the end, it is nice to go ‘off campus’ occasionally, but glad to know that I have a spot to return to that I love.

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.
