We learn early on that yoga is about what’s going on inside. Don’t worry about what others are up to. Focus on what works for you. Yet, most of us practice yoga most intentionally and vigorously in the company of others under the guidance of an experienced teacher. There is no way I could work […]
We learn early on that yoga is about what’s going on inside. Don’t worry about what others are up to. Focus on what works for you. Yet, most of us practice yoga most intentionally and vigorously in the company of others under the guidance of an experienced teacher. There is no way I could work like this at home I think, as I mop my brow and flop back into child’s pose. Up I go again inspired by the knowledge that my fellow mat mates are doing their best go deeper and stretch longer. After savasana we have completed a collective journey by following our own paths. Now it’s time to head back into the wider world strengthened by our unspoken shared experience.

Heart~ Day #7 (Week #4)

By Linda Malcomb • 03 May, 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 • 02 May, 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.
