I wanted to take the time to say thank you to all those who have been attending my Wednesday night class at St. James Church in Novi. We started off our New Year with two full classes, new faces as well as old ones and new energy! Last week I left on a high like no other thus far. As the light increases each day we will anticipate Spring together and all of the new birth that naturally arises. Out of the earth we will rise like the lotus flower or perhaps the phoenix.
I am inspired from my already accomplished 2011 YogaFit training and, more so, from my students. Nothing gives greater pleasure, and gratitude, than to share this beautiful practice together especially when it comes from your own child.
As I sip my African Solstice tea with rooibos (Tea Forte)I reflect back on my already satisfying practice this month (and we're only half way through). Bringing heartfelt pleasure was my morning just this day with my nine-year-old daughter. We viewed, in half lotus, Anodea Judith's Illuminated Chakra DVD. From root to crown we followed an ethereal journey of light as the scent of patchouli filled the air.
When we arrived at the Vishuddha (throat) Chakra, we both verbalized "Om". It came so naturally to her...as did her selection of crystals to assess her Chakras: carnelian. The pendulum only slowed at her Svadhisthana. The rest were perfect!
My yogini apprentice was born today. And I thought scrapbooking with her was special!
Blessed are we who can find peace in our hectic world and share it with others.
Namaste~
