Sun vs. Moon….YOU Decide!
Election! Election!
Left Versus Right
Moon Versus Sun
Both shining bright!
What serves, what honors
the United States of YOU?
Tune into your breath~
Tune into your view~
Do you need more strength?
more power? more fire?
Then, Sun is your canidate
you most admire~
Or more sweetness?
More flow? More balance
and wisdom?
Moon is the vote to
cast for your system~
Sun represents your right,
and Moon, your left~
Both equally qualified
to heal and heft~
Each one has a Salutation~
a platform of poses
Practice each one
No need for opposes!
Decide on your term;
May be minutes or years!
and what gets to vote!
Chakras or Ears?
Who has a voice
in the United States of YOU?
Muscles or bones~
Organs or goo?
And where is the
capital of your nation?
Your Heart? Your head?
Third Chakra vibration?
Choose what qualities
serve your union as a whole~
What is right for your body,
your mind and your soul?
Fernbank Yoga Club voted today. 43 unions saluted the Moon. 27 unions saluted the sun. The rest are undecided.
“It was interesting to watch the grounded students take their time in each posture of the sun and moon salutations. This fact-finding process took longer for some than others, and a few students needed to revisit certain postures to see what their body thought. The votes were taken, first internally, and then announced to the group. I look forward to hearing how the first days of each parties term goes. Term lengths varied from one week to one year. The excitement was palpable as the students began to brainstorm their new nations flags and colors.”
Mary Quinn Templeton, Elevated Grounded Teacher







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.
Found: This Fear escaped from a very Grounded 9 year old’s first chakra. Her thighs were rooted and her connection to the earth was solid. She faced her fears, and actually whispered to herself, “I have the Right to be Here.” After the Fear escaped she felt even more Grounded and Elevated and aware of where she was in space.
