Maybe we just need to give life a bit of slack...

When I was waiting for my students to come to class on Wednesday night, I noticed Tibetan-Prayer-like flags hanging in the Blue Spirit yoga studio…I remembered I had noticed them and read them before but I guess as it is with everything that stays unchanged, both in our outer and inner world, those things are hard to notice/appreciate again and again…only when things suddenly or profoundly change, when something becomes new, when we gain or lose something, we notice it…and I thought what a human predicament that we often see the things we don’t have, instead of appreciating what we already have, what has been there the whole time…and especially in our inner world...

We often strive to become somebody else, and it’s natural to keep wanting to grow and evolve but it is also so important to appreciate who we have become and who we are right now…the truth and beauty of life is we will all be shaped and moulded by the experiences we go through in our lives (by the natural process of life itself) and hopefully we will become beautiful pieces of “life art” if we are open and present and willing to learn…maybe, instead of trying so hard all the time, we just need to give life a bit of slack and trust it will throw our way experiences we need to gain more understanding, compassion and acceptance for ourselves and life in general 🙏🌸💜

Here are some beautiful words to maybe reflect on on a rainy day in the Blue Mountains, from the Tibetan-Prayer-like flags hanging in the Blue Spirit yoga studio 🌸 TRANQUILITY - the peace that comes when energies are in harmony, relationships are in balance. HAPPINESS - when one’s spiritual needs are met by untroubled inner life. Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. COURAGE - not the absence of fear or despair, but the strength to conquer them. PEACE - to bring peace to the Earth, strive to make your own life peaceful. WISDOM - knowledge, intuition and experience combine to guide us in thought and deed. LOVE - an inspired form of giving, love breathes life into the heart and brings grace to the soul ❤
