Relaxation meditation with Living the Sutras Activity

“Just Be” Guided Meditation

I am giving myself permission to let go and accept where I am. Releasing all pressure to do more and do better, and rather, just do my best each and everyday. I encourage you to do the same for yourself! Namaste Yogis.

Monday

Curious about the practice but you have ideas about the practice? Hopefully this will help with questions you’ve had. If you have a body and can breathe, then yes - YOU CAN PRACTICE YOGA. YOGA IS FOR EVERYBODY!! Namaste! Kelley

Feeling chatty this morning. I thought I would share a little bit about what has been working for me in term of being present and reducing the feelings of being overwhelmed or anxious. With a so much on our plates these days, it’s hard to stay present. Always moving from one moment to the next. I definitely don’t have these techniques down. That’s why it’s a practice. But I can say, lately I have really been able to maintain my presence and awareness. I invite you to think about where you are. Are you dwelling on the past? Anxious about the future? Letting the past define you? Letting worry of the future over take you? If you are, which we all do from time to time, then you are taking yourself out of the here and now. “Now” is all we ever really have. It’s all that’s real. The rest is the future which hasn’t happened or a memory - neither of which “are”. Yoga brings us present. But you don’t have to be on a mat or in class to do this. Does it mean we don’t plan for future events? Does it mean we just wing it everyday with no plan? Listen to hear my take. And please, pretty please, share your story with me! IG @yogikelley

A New Earth, Oprah podcast, inside look at the ego. Just a quick discussion. Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are. Eckhart Tolle, author The New Earth

Present. Is it a journey? A destination? Or maybe we are where we need to be RIGHT now.
