Mindfulness, Meditation, and Journaling

This week you will need an area on the ground to do gentle stretches and movement.  A yoga mat is helpful but not necessary.  Feel free to use a blanket or beach towel so you have something between you and the floor.   Our body is one of our biggest teachers.  We will be practicing mindful movement and listening to how our body speaks to us.

Take this Quiz first for Yourself.  Choosing the most eligible response never both.  If both match your personality choose the one that fits who you are most of the time.

The second time through take the quiz answering for your partner or someone that is close to you.

Mudras are hand-shapes used to intensify your focus.

I challenge you to go outside for this meditation.  It can be on your porch, in your backyard, you can drive to your secret spot, wherever you can be present and meditate in the outdoors.

There is something special about feeling a breeze, sunshine on your skin, hearing water flowing, leaves blowing, or even kids playing in the distance.  Soak it ALL in. Namaste.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.

We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
