12 Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening

I am so grateful for the pieces of inspiration that find their way to me. This is credited to my neighbors, R, O and E: 12 Symptoms of Spiritual Awakening 1. An increased tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. 2. Frequent attacks of smiling. 3. Feeling of being connected with others and nature. 4. Frequent and overwhelming episodes of appreciation. 5. A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fears. 6. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. 7. A loss of ability to worry. 8. A loss of interest in conflict. 9. A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others. 10. A loss of interest in judging others. 11. A loss of interest in judging self. 12. Gaining the ability to love without expecting anything.

Just Another Manic Monday

Today, the song is ringing true, as there seems to be one thing after another. A great opportunity to accept, release, and practice my mantra of having not stress. However, as grateful as I am for this opportunity, I would really rather just have an nice, smooth day full of smiles.

However, my life is very good right now. And usually I am overflowing with gratitude and love, which is a nice feeling.

Also, I have an evening with my lovely Hannah, and we are going to have beautiful adventures, so that is something to look forward to, when frustration hits.

Om: Finding Space

Finding a space for yoga can be a challenge. My solution it to take advantage of any moment I am alone to do a couple poses. Some interesting places I have done yoga regularly: Bathrooms, especially if they are big (bring on the balancing poses!!); view points and rest stops, when driving long distances; During hikes, find a flat spot, yoga time= yum; Parks provide great opportunities, especially when visited out of sync with busy times; Unoccupied sidewalks, friendly living rooms, waiting in lines, and of course in your neighborhood yoga studio, as they are becoming more and more common.
