LOVE Flows Through Us and thus Takes Nothing FROM Us
"People often think that love and hate are two sides of the same emotional coin, but that isn't quite true. Love is not simply the absence of hate; nor is hate the absence of love. They are altogether different things, as can easily be seen. When we are angry, it wears us out and leaves us feeling like less than we were; but when we love, it energizes us, and we feel larger and richer than we were before that burst of love began flowing through us. This is because ANGER COMES FROM WITHIN, burning from our own substance, while #LOVE IS AN ENERGY THAT FLOWS THROUGH US, enlightening and expanding us."

Meditation in Motion
Connect to your higher self and God/Universe easily through delving into meditation in motion. This requires a certain SURRENDER and LETTING GO of CONTROL! To start find a quiet place where you know you will have a completely private space during your practice. Start with connecting to your breath, if you have a pranayama practice this would be a great time to sit and do some pranayama. Then begin to become really mindful of your body. Begin moving in your body... you may choose to start by loosening up and doing some yoga asanas that you are familiar with. Slowly allow the asanas to turn inwards and as you continue to move allow them to evolve into taking on a life of their own. See if even for short stints you can allow your body to move without thinking at all what position you will move into or what you will do next. The movement may turn into a dance, it may become more of an intense yoga practice with moments of mental abandonment. No matter what happens, don't judge! If you have trouble getting in to 'that space' try again another day when you may be in a more peaceful state overall. Every time that you give yourself permission to take the time to do this you will find that your body's internal knowing and creativity begins to show itself more and more. ENJOY!
