Thought For Today - 8/28/09
















Many times in Yoga classes I state to students to stay present in their poses no matter how challenging or discomfort it may be. I know if they stay there, blockages will be release and their spirit, mind and body will come into harmony. I tell the students to take the same principle they learn in Yoga class to their world outside of the class room.

If we can stay in the moment, be present, staying in the love of God with uncomfortable conflicts that arise in our lives will always bring us back into harmony and communion with ourselves, the situation and God.

As we do this, we come to the discovery that our connectedness is rooted deep in love – the love of God for the other. When we enter into the love relationship with God, there is not room for insecurity, shame or jealousy just to name a few.

In the love relationship with God, our hearts become open and present to feelings of love instead of fear or hurt. As we walk in fellowship with love (God), we want don't lash out, cling tightly or pull away.

Our relationship becomes a path of intense personal healing and spiritual transformation. With this comes freedom to realize the goodness and beauty of our being and those around us.

Much love,
Joseph
