Learn To Let Go

Yoga is not about mastering and muscling your way into certain poses. Find the enjoyment in the journey and awaken the body. First always make sure the alignment of a pose is correct to the best of your ability, then let your body relax, and go with the flow, some of the most difficult postures are achieved when you allow your muscles to relax. Once you stop striving for perfection and feel the body you will be surprised what your body can do. What was once impossible in your mind is now possible. It’s amazing what the body can accomplish with a little persistence, a little inward perception, and learning just to let go.

Think of karma like a big white sheet of new fallen snow, “be careful how you walk on it for every mark will show.”

Most people think of karma in terms of their actions what goes around comes around. While there is merit to that statement it really goes a lot deeper. Karma is not the law of retribution. It really starts with a thought every thought has energy behind it. Your thoughts manifest in the mind you bring them into your life. How you go about your daily life is your karma it can change for the better or worse, it’s a shift in pattern thinking.

There is negative karma and positive karma, we all have both. You want to up your positive and soften the negative. Laughter produces attitudinal karma the seeds you need to lead a happier life. That is what your life is about, to find peace and joy wherever you can find it. Your purpose is to bring your life into balance. A change in attitude will change your karma. Attitude will cause karma to manifest. When negative karma manifest its hard to get rid of. So soften your thoughts around negative thinking before it hardens. At any given moment in any situation you can think wow this is great and the next minute it can suck! More often than not it is your attitude that causes you feeling of confinement or joy!
