<\/a><\/p>\nSummer YOGA and Movement<\/p>\n
I enjoy the practice of Bikram yoga, as well as other forms . I spend time each week at Bikram Yoga Cleveland<\/a>, Yoga Roots<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 and various studios around the country when I travel or on my own in my sacred places. The consistency of my yoga practice contributes to improvement in all areas of my life-physical, mental and spiritual. Recently I have been reminding myself that the yoga pose (as in many things in life)\u00a0 really begins when I think I can no longer hold it or hold on and that what I do on my mat or in anything is how I will do in everything. It is a good reminder to be who I am and where I am at\u2026I am more mindful as a result.<\/p>\n I also enjoy trail running, which takes me to the woods where I both run and meditate. I am very visual so the sights I see, feel, smell and hear absorb into my body and carry me in my day. The experience serves as a reference point of positive energy and inspiration. I take complicated problems and issues to the run and they work themselves out.<\/p>\n The garden is green and deep and quiet, offering rest of those who lost their way and wander. The garden is a place of refuge prepared by love.\u00a0 A place to reflect, to listen, to smell, to feel, to be. They enter\u00a0 this holy place, but they will not depart as they had come.<\/p>\n Then the words of his Zen master came to him,<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\n“Tomorrow is not real. It is an illusion. The only reality is now.”
\nHeeding these words, the warrior became peaceful and fell asleep…<\/p>\n
