Become humble

When you want to shut down
Open up
When you want to run
Stay
When you want to cry
laugh
When you want to die
Breathe deeper
When you want to shrink
Expand
When you want to doubt
Trust
When you want to hate
Love more
When you want to punish
Embrace
When you want to feel sadness
Find joy
When you want to be angry
Be grateful
When you feel that you have lost someone
Find your own self
When you want to be still
dance
When you seek silence
Sing
When you want to fight
Become humble

The only pain that follows us is the love we hold back

The only pain comes from not letting yourself experience the emotion. Let it run wild trough you, whether it is joy, pain,love, sorrow or grief. The only way to overcome it is if you satiate in it.

Friends

Some people have the ability to transform us, transport us to different reality and see things never seen before.
They are like a doorway into another dimension.
We don't even realize how much we need that influence until all of a sudden it is lost, and we are desperately searching for a way out, as if we are fighting fo air.

What is Faith

The guy's shirt in front of me states that Faith is refusal to panic.

Doubt is pain
Too lonely to know
That faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran

So what is faith?
It could simply be put as the lack of
Doubt.
Then what is doubt?
Doubt is insecurity, fear, hesitation
Doubt is everything that knocks you of your balance.
Doubt is everything that is unnecessary.
So let go of it
Simply trust
But first you need to trust in yourself.

Turning the universe upside down

Seeing the world from a different perspective is always helpful.

And any perspective when turned on its head sometimes makes a lot more sense than when you look at it the way you normally view the universe.

Kids love being upside down… when did we forget how much fun it is.

And no matter how much we want to we can't always create havoc and turn the world upside down.

But we can always stand on our own head!

So go ahead turn upside down, even if it is for one long breath!

It can be very refreshing...

Other than being pure fun inversions have other benefits as well:

·      Encourage delivery of fresh blood to your heart, which provides more efficient circulation

·      Standing upright most of the time causes the lower lung tissue to saturate with blood. Inverting ventilates the upper part of the lungs, increasing the ensuring oxygen-to-blood exchange promoting healthier lung tissue.

·      Stimulate the lymphatic system and strengthens the immune system.

·      A natural way of counteracting the pull of gravity

·      The pressure on the top of the skull promotes the cranial bones’ elasticity and increases the amount of cerebrospinal fluid

·      Strengthen the upper body and core

·      Increases blood flow to the brain, bringing more oxygen to the cells optimizing brain function, develops more awareness, concentration, better memory and stimulates thought

·      Develop balance awareness, which occurs when the upper regions of the inner ear are stimulated.

·      Inversions upset gravity activating the pituitary and pineal glands to balance hormone levels in the body and promote a state of well-being

Inspirations from the Mat

Yoga is the practice of getting to know yourself through your body.
Learning about your limitations and exploring them.
Playing with them, challenging them, eliminating them.

It is a daily practice to align your energy and realize that nothing is impossible.

One cannot expect to be perfect in each pose, because there is no absolute right way to do each asana.
It is all relative to your energy. And when you feel the prana flowing through body then you realize you are exactly where you need to be.

It is a game, forgetting the thoughts and meditating in the movement.
Finding stillness in the chaos.

Open your heart to see your true essence

Open to me so that I may open
Provide me your inspiration
So that I might see mine

Rumi

The most profound secrets are no secrets at all.
It is the simplest truths that we so often miss in search of something deep and meaningful.
Yet the most precious moments are the most innocent and mundane ones.
The ones we did not plan, we did not anticipate, we had no time to worry about.
The most beautiful things cannot be bought with money. They always come free.
And when you least expect them.

It is imposible to know ourselves without the others.
Others are our mirrors, in which we see not only our reflections, but our deepest and darkest fears.
Only to realize that there is nothing to fear.
In its core our essence is sweetness, kindness and love.

Stop judging and demanding!
Stop analyzing and believing that others hurt you!
Start loving and giving!
Start doing simply for the joy of sharing experiences, without attachment to the end result.
