I feel the best way for me to know where I DO and  DO not belong is when I listen to the body…my body….

I am a yoga instructor and teach about 10 classes a week…not to mention the 3-5 classes I take from other instructors each week. I have found that the more yoga I do the more I am in touch with my body both internally and externally.

I find that when I am in touch with my body that I am able to make better karmic choices for my life. I take the time when making decisions now to stop and ask myself which direction to take…”Should I watch this movie?”….”Is this the right person to be spending most my time with?”…”Do I take on this new client?”….”Whats the best time for me to go to bed?” or “Wake up?”….

I simply ask myself this question and then sit a wait for my bodies response…each time I get a physical sensation somewhere in the body…be it comfort or an uneasy feeling, I am sure to make the right choice if I really listen and feel my way through it.

So I would say I belong anywhere my little body feels comforted, at ease and open. If my body is tense or closed off I don’t want to be there or do that )

Meditation of the Day

THE FLOWERS OF LIFE

As the bee takes the essence of a flower and flies away without destroying its beauty and perfume, so let the sage wander in this life.

Think not of the faults of others, of what they have done or not done.

Think of your own sins, of the things you have done or not done.

And just like a beautiful flower which has color and also has perfume are the beautiful fruitful words of the man who speaks and does what he says.

The perfume of flowers goes not against the wind, not even the perfume of sandalwood, of rose-bay, or of jasmine; but the perfume of virtue travels against the wind and reaches unto the ends of the world.
