When the going gets tough.

And how Yoga keeps my on my path.

Today is a brand new day of a brand new week. 

Every day we encounter something or someone that tries to send us of balance. Weather it be our over active mind going over stuff from the future or worrying you about something that happened in past or maybe someone else's point of view, opinions or mood. These are all lessons we are meant to learn along our path and that I am grateful for but keeping it real and true to yourself is our full time we owe to ourselves.

Cruel words or rejection are hard to swallow especially when it's not in your nature to hate or be judgemental. Every one is walking their own path and it is very easy to judge or retaliate when things offend or you don't agree with. Yoga Has taught me precious tools to walk my path with a greater understanding of peoples needs and to work though my tough times almost from a spectators perspective. At times the blows knock me for six, I feel out of sorts, maybe anger arises but my yogic lifestyle has taught me to take the time needed to work though and understand how I am feeling instead of suppressing my thoughts and negativity deep inside to fester and cause me deeper pain and suffering.

When you are on this journey of openness sometimes it feels like the work is constant. Just when you feel lift from one blow another swiftly follows. You will find the deeper you are connected to your self, your truth and following your own path each time a blow hits, the softer the blow knocking you gently with full awareness and a deeper understanding and knowledge to get you back on track.  The feeling of living in the present is fulfilling in every way that over time it becomes the only way to live 

To become frustrated of others or situations is a pure waste of energy, we are warriors of our own destiny if we stay true to our path and integrity we will flourish in happiness and vitality and all in time we will attract and build our tribe of like minded souls.

Here are some lovely yoga postures the will help open and stretches the chest and shoulders offering the heart and keep reminding you of all the factors that keep you unique. Opening up your heart centre and freeing your heart to open new channels for understanding of energy and love.
