True Hearts Yoga

I don't know about you, but I am so glad spring is here!  To me, spring feels like a celebration; of life, energy, awakening.  It is my favorite season for walks.  The budding flora, lush with life is a sight to behold.  Like silent fireworks frozen in time.  The forgotten feeling of sun on my skin renews my passion for the out of doors.  Fragrant breezes, quiet rains, hypnotizing sunsets. So often we close one chapter of our lives, merely to jump into the next.  Our far-sighted view of life makes us quickly forget the accomplishments we achieve.   Like Pac-Man, constantly chomping the next shiny pellet (and dodging ghosts!). Take time to celebrate what you work for.  The coming of Spring is the perfect reason to take a step back to review all that we went through in the winter.  A new president, a new year, new responsibilities, etc.  What did you do right these past few months?  What are you grateful for as we transition into this season of rebirth? Chances are you

Ram Dass is one of my favorite authors/speakers.  In this book he talks about aging and the process which is inevitable in all of us.  It is insightful, humorous and full of great advice on how to take responsibility for your own well-being as you grow older.   I recommend it as a source to open your eyes to our "Agist" society, which respects fast information over solid wisdom.   He shows how our culture basically shuns the elderly and casts them aside as useless, rather than view them as respected wise people, as they do in other cultures.  We have a lot to learn from people who have thrived for many years.
