How does one stay poised during these trying times? There are such diverse differences of opinions, values and ideas on what is right for one and what is wrong for another.

Maybe we have all felt these divisions close to home in what were once safe family and friendship groups, where one could speak freely without the fear of being shut down, or defended against, for having views around the vaccine , the wearing of masks, and where and with whom we can mix.

What were once peaceful interactions, can now easily feel hostile and triggering.

Recently I have felt saddened by the lack of respect that has been shown in the face of these diverse differences of opinions, and so I have been turning to the ancient Buddhist practice of Metta, Loving Kindness to all,  to support me and my students.  I have been filling my classes with metta meditations, to open our hearts with compassion during these challenging times. 

We cannot ever know what is truly behind another's personal experience, and thus how they arrived at their current decision. Only empathy and kindness can steer us through. 

These practices bring dignity and poise to all that receive and feel them, and thus a space is held for healing, respect and love to flourish. No virus can touch us here, in any form .

So next time you feel triggered by another, or upset by someone’s cross words, can you take a deep breath, and repeat these words mentally in your mind:

May You Be Safe

May You Be Happy

May You Be Healthy and..

May You Live A Life Of Ease

Do you want to join us in being activists for change?

At Luna Rhythms, our unique system of yoga integrated with the luna cycles and solar seasons, teaching techniques from the ancient yogic practices of asana, pranayama, mudra, bandha and mantra in alignment with the energies of the day, season and cycle. Also teaching practices from the ancient Norse rites in ceremonies that revere nature, and all that live and dwell on this planet. This Spring New Moon is the perfect time to set new sacred intentions, align to your highest ideals and celebrate the renewal of nature and yourself.

This Aries New Moon is a powerful time to passionately recommit to things in this life that make you feel alive! What are they? Life flies by so fast, week after week , day moving into night in the blink of an eye! There is no time to lose spending time in division. When our time comes to leave this earthly plane, can we leave with an open heart, knowing we did not waste it, or take it for granted?

This Aries Moon, can you commit to your breath once more. Breathe life into those cells, renew them with prana, sacred intentions, and love? Take a moment of stillness, perhaps in mediation, to call in these intentions with meaning and purpose, so they become more conscious. This is how the magic flows.
