Om Shanti and good day beautiful friends.  I hope this message greets you with an ever greater sense of ease and sweetness as we near a most auspicious time in the annual calendar. With the vernal equinox approaching, life is moving naturally through its cycle – and I, too, am following suit. This month marks a moment of change for Way of Being Yoga and a transition that has been evolving for quite some time. Beginning March 21, monthly newsletters will no longer be received in their current form.  Periodic emails will continue to be sent, however, regular posts will be available at [www.wayofbeingyoga.net] a developing blog/website offering a more expansive and active forum for yoga inspiration.

I am eternally grateful for your interest in past offerings and for your generous feedback which has supported and inspired this change.  As I expand monthly kriyas, quotes, and articles into active and more frequent teachings, reflections, and meditations, it is my hope that you will find the next phase equally, if not more, useful in serving your process of becoming more self-aware.

I look forward to sharing more inspiration, as we gather ourselves for the next round, the next phase, the next wonder, the next expression.  Like the fine and melodic instrument you are, stay tuned…more detailed instructions to come.

Today’s Reflection: Moments of Harmony

Much of our time is spent seeking to understand our purpose.  As we cycle through the process of achieving inner peace, we strive to meet, accommodate, capture, and revel in moments of balance.  The sun and the earth share a similar dynamic. The vernal equinox is a moment of harmony between the two planets and, since we are always in harmony with the forces of the universe, the equinox is also an opportunity to find balance within ourselves, at the center of our beings.  It is a moment for being still, a moment between light and dark. It is an entry point into greater understanding and greater awareness.  Creativity is born in this place.  The winter months are a time to cultivate new ideas and develop objectives.  Spring is a time to nurture their growth.  If we listen, our purpose is unveiled, as life, continues to reveal itself.
