ON FREEDOM...

“The cosmic mind is a collective experience, one that is ever changing and growing by continuously incorporating every nuance of experience that every form of consciousness explores and transmits. Using your willpower to create a new probable world-which you do with each thought-by producing the frequencies of thought and energy that you desire, is the name of the game of freedom....The more responsibility you are willing to claim for being the creator of your life, the greater the truths you will be able to accept and deal with. Responsibility opens the doors to complete self-empowerment”

Open your heart and feel your way to truth and freedom...

Our yoga practise can help us to develop a more authentic relationship with ourselves as we draw our attention inward and become more attuned to our body, feelings, thoughts and intuitive knowing. 
​
As we develop our powers of attention, focus, observation and attunement and our capacity for truth and honesty with ourselves we begin to notice more and more how particular foods, people, places, activities, relationships and experiences affect us. We become more aware of whether our choices feed and energies us, supporting and aligning us with our deeper truths and needs, or whether they hurt, disempower, fatigue or dishonour us.

We begin to make better, more loving choices for ourselves, to accept and love ourselves more. Because it FEELS good. We move ever closer to knowing and creating our own version of life, of truth and happiness, whatever that might be.

​We learn to trust in ourselves, in our choices and in our capacity and our right to create a life that fulfils and feeds and nurtures us and allows us to express and share our individual and unique beauty and our gifts to the world.

Following my morning practises, apart from some housework, today I did something I haven’t done in a long time: I did next to nothing :) Just because that was the only thing that felt 'right' to do that day.

I went to the beach..lay in the sand and allowed myself to just ‘be’....felt the soft warm wind...listened to the waves gently rolling onto the sand....little birds chirping busily in the bush on the cliff behind me....felt the hot sun on my body and absorbed the intelligence emanating from it’s cosmic rays. I even dipped into the icy sea...then returned to lay again on the sand, in the hot sun...suffused with the delicious silence and stillness...with the elements...
.....I feel as though I have been on holiday for a week.

So much gratitude for this beautiful place we live in 🙏

ON PERSPECTIVE...

“There are always many, many points of view for any situation. As you may well know, perspective is the key. As you expand your perceptions, you will be operating in a different program of reality”

Tipping our world upside down is not only a figure of speech when we refer to inversions, such as head or hand stands.

We literally reverse our perspective on the world around us, looking at things from a different vantage point, which in turn stimulates new and different brain pathways, expanding and multiplying the networks and interconnections in our brain, leading to a significantly vaster perspective and hence more encompassing and possibility laden reality when we eventually turn ‘right side up’.

I’ve not been able to do inversions (or backbends, for that matter) much for years due to, initially, a neck injury, and then blood clots in chest and lungs last year. I was told I shouldn't ever raise my arms back over my head!!! But that doesn't feel like Truth to me.

​I’ve only recently started to practise them again, having slowly built up my upper body and core strength again, and I am LOVING the feeling and shifted perspective they are giving me.
