We are nearing the first day of winter, a season that's fairly polarizing.  What is the purpose of winter, what can we learn from nature?  If you practice yoga, what is the purpose of savasana?  How do we feel about rest and restoration, not for others and not sometimes; but for ourselves, regularly.  Join me as we discuss the purpose of rest and surrender in our lives, do we really understand it?  

“He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.”   Benjamin Franklin 

 

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.”   Edith Sitwell

 

“The light of winter is the poetry of patience.” ~unknown

 

“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.” Paul Theroux

 

 “Sometimes nature appears in whites so we can color it with our dreams.” ~Angela Rexario

 

“If I lay here, if I just lay here.  Will you lie with me and just forget the world?” ~Snow Patrol 

 

“Surrendering doesn’t mean you’re weak.  Surrendering means you are wise for accepting what is and strong enough to trust what will be. “ ~Wattney

“Savasana is the absence of all patterns - neurological, emotional and physical.  It is the ultimate release of the known and unknown world, where awareness is all that is left, without the illusion of the separation of the seer.  The world as a whole appears without the subject of ‘I’” ~Rodney Yee

 

“Your definition of desirable and undesirable as well as good and bad, all come about because you have defined how things need to be in order for you to be okay.

The part of you inside that’s not okay with itself can’t face the natural unfolding of life because it’s not under your control.

Decide not to fight with life.  Realize and accept life is not under my control.  Life is continually changing and if I try to control it, I’ll never be able to fully live it.”

“The Untethered Soul” by Michael A Singer.
