Shames, Shames, Go Away! And Don’t Come Back Another Day!
Inspired by Yoga Sutra 2.16 Heyam dukham anagatam
Avoidable is the suffering
that has not yet to come~
That feeling of shame
That sticks like chewed gum.How do we get through places
That are stuck deep inside?
Where the holdings, the collections
The patterns reside?The patterns of feeding
Our suction cupped shames~
With secrets and silence
And judgements and blames.Attract the energy of movement~
And comfort with movement~
Comfort with change~
Comfort with improvement.Create space between impulse
And action that binds~
The stuck feelings that resists
Our meetings of minds.Space is the experience
Of minds open and bright
The Wisdom of Grace
Is filled up with light.Grace is the knowing
Our mistakes serve an aim~
Instead of allowing
Our mistakes to serve shame.So to prevent future suffering~
And the feeding of shames~
Create a steady practice
Of breath work and aims.Here’s a mantra for you
To embody and embed~
Press thumb into each finger
And say in your head~{I inhale to prepare~
I exhale to share~
I inhale to release blame~
I exhale to transform shame~*}{Repeat 11 times}~
Keep your sitting bones rooted.
Slowly rotate your core ~
Counterclockwise 3 rounds
Your breath? Don’t ignore!Inhale going backwards,
Exhale going forward .
Your movements ride on your
breath~
It’s pretty straight forward.
Pause and move clockwise.
Repeat 11 times.
Close eyes and listen.
To your heart beat like chimes.Find someone you know,
You love and you trust
Show them your shames
And watch your blames turn to dust.May we have what it takes
To transform all our shames~
To allow our mistakes
To serve our Great Aim~“Lightbulb!”…Recognizing The Importance of Honoring Your Self!
Have you ever felt not worthy? Maybe you lacked Self-love or maybe you didn’t surround yourself with goodness at the time. Who we surround ourselves with is who we become. If we surround ourselves with downers we begin to feel down. If we surround ourselves with happy, joyous, and delightful people we become more happy and joyful. If we were to eat junk food every single day we would begin to feel down and ucky. When we eat healthier we experience delight and Self-love. Honor Your Self! Surround yourself with goodness. “The first step toward awareness is being willing to look at yourself and your life without judgment or self-criticism.” (Iyanla Vanzant) Awareness opens the heart to new possibilities.Love in Your Head
On this day, we invite you to practice the Love in Your Head pose gifted to us from Elie, age 6.
“Close your eyes. Breathe and get still. Pour love into the top of your head. Not just one thing you love! Pour everything and everyone you can think of that you love into your head. Keep going until your head feels full of love and joy.”
Love is the most powerful activator for positive change to manifest on this planet.
Thank you Elie, for being the light of awareness. You are living wisdom. You are Love.
Oh, Say Can You See, the Sacred and the Silly…
Part of my practice is to create sacred spaces where I honor my guides, my teachers, a theme, what I am manifesting, what I am inspired by, and what I am teaching. This ritual helps me remember my intention, connect to the deeper teachings which I take quite seriously, and to myself {which I…
