It’s okay to start over. The moon does every 28 days. The tides reset even faster. So to reinvent one’s self or steer towards a different career path seem more natural than being fixed in one position. Tonight, the moon is positioned among the stars that form the Libra constellation. Tomorrow it’ll be somewhere new. As I allow the moon to transit, I allow myself to travel closer to the center of my path.
Each realignment brings me closer to my highest self, my truest nature, my happiest Buddha. So under the dark veil of tonight’s New Moon, I send gratitude for a fresh start. Knowing that no effort is ever lost when knowledge is gained.

Do we have time to do yoga at work? Five year ago, it was only the tech start-ups who kept their lights on twelve hours a day could afford to spare fifty minutes for stretching and breathing exercises. Today, in 2015, even the most conservative business men are considering adding Eastern mindfulness practices into their daily routine.
In our on-demand world, it's no surprise that people are looking for on-site remedies to work-induced stress. One researcher even quantified a dollar amount for how much stress costs businesses: $250 billion dollars. Stress is not the only ailment that yoga alleviates. Yoga supports overall mental and physical health. Moreover, the casual time spent with co-workers is shown to increase bonding. But don't just listen to a yoga teacher like me. Verify the benefits with university rigor. "Scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles and Nobel Prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn found that 12 minutes of daily yoga meditation for eight weeks increased telomerase activity by 43 percent, suggesting an improvement in stress-induced aging." (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-11-22/harvard-yoga-scientists-find-proof-of-meditation-benefit) YES Yoga is founded on the principle that Yoga Evolves Success. No matter what your work is, yoga helps you work smarter and find more enjoyment in your same work. The most powerful piece to practice is reframing enjoyment-as most of our lives exist only in our minds. YES Yoga will show you how to integrate physical, mental, and energetic health for total wellness. When looking for a yoga teacher to bring into your office, be sure to find one that will take time to understand the needs of your specific population. Commit to a regular day and time for at least 3 to 5 weeks. To receive inspiration for this message, I leaned up against a tree and asked for it's help in channeling the Full Moon Energy. I felt it pour from the sky above into my crown chakra and wash down my spine grounding into the Earth below. Much like the rushing current of Sweetwater Creek (pictured above) washes over the motionless rocks.
To honor the Full Moon tonight, I've invited close friends over so we can safely express our burdens, and begin the healing process. We ask the moon to help us release the habits, ideas, and things that no longer serve our highest good. For myself, I'm asking the moon to fill me with self confidence so that feelings of low self worth/esteem no longer remain in resonance with my conscious path. I open myself up to be cleansed of emotional fear. My energy flows head to toe, like watching log-jams of leaves and debris loosen and float downstream with the water's current. I'm reminded that if I don't maintain a constant flow of self love and acceptance, entropy dictates that my being will slow to a lower vibration and my awareness loses alignment with my true nature. The river gets clogged with fallen branches and litter. I use this moon's cycle as a reminder to renew my rituals of release and renewal. |
