What a lovely blanket of white that covers the earth today. It’s Mother Nature's sweet reminder to go inward and cultivate a living experience of being present. Slow down, take in deep breaths and relax into the beauty of living fully in the moment. The mind’s habits of roaming outward feed the constant seeking and pushing to do more.

This lovely quiet and peaceful snow is reminding me to enjoy the tranquility of slowing down. Please connect to the breath and use this day and an opportunity to come inward.

The concept of compassion is a moral guiding principle. To cultivate an awareness of self compassion takes the willingness to stop always going outward and practice bringing the attention of mind inward. This inner purpose needs nourishment, and as a yoga community, we must awaken this essential part in all of us—our collective heart.

There is so much fear and agitation being fed in our media today. We’ve become enslaved to our emotions and over think every aspect of our lives. It is too exhausting for our nervous systems. Our well-being is challenged to stay balanced.

Today, take the opportunity to experience an inhale breath. Take a breath in the sweetness of this brilliant snow covering the earth. The roots of every tree are being nourished just as your own systems are experiencing a flow of pranic sensitivity with the flow of breath. Feel the body soften and relax on each long smooth exhale.

This awareness to the seamless flow of breath is bringing in vitality and energy as pure sensation. Just sit with the flow of awarenesses coming on the inhale and moving through on the exhale. Each breath bringing you deeper into a pure awareness of inner awakening.

This is a conscious connection with the universal intelligence. Feel the support of grace unfolding and be in gratitude for the wonders and awe of your magnificent life.

Our collective intention of sharing our ease into the world will help heal humanities suffering. This is a collective practice for the world sharing our interdependence as a loving community of compassionate. Be well, be joyous and go out then and play in this glorious snow!!

Blessings and light,
