Yoga...Ommmm

I love yoga!

It's something that I can do that gives me the exercise and release that I need. It has such a spiritual aspect to it as well that deeply moves me every time. And I love the feeling of spaciousness and grounding that I am guaranteed to get every time I leave a yoga class.

I have been blessed to find a great yoga studio in my area, in a beautiful space with fabulous teachers. I remember the first time that I went. I contemplated going for a long time and I was very nervous to go. But the universe always seems to bring you the people you need to support you wherever you are.

I remember initially trying out different teachers and classes, until I came across the most amazing teacher. She is deeply spiritual, supportive and moving. But she has this way of knowing exactly what I need and what I need to hear-it's really amazing.

One class recently was particularly moving for me. It was a really moving, intense class and a lot was released for me. I also remember having some trouble settling my mind and staying focused in this class as well. Toward the end of the class my yoga teacher began to disclose stuff about her life. She said that she came to realize throughout her life that all she had to do was just be and that alone was perfect enough. She then quoted a song from one of her favourite artists and the line from the song was: "Get out of bed. Get out of your mind. And get to dreaming."

In that moment I realized just how much time I spend consumed and distracted by things around me. Placing me energy into things that don't really matter when there are more important things to be focused on-like dreaming. I am a really big dreamer and often find myself lost in daydreaming about things that I want to see happen. Dreaming has allowed me to see so many things come to pass that I never thought would be possible. It is important to dream and when you get caught up in the busyness of daily life sometimes the dreaming gets lost.

So, get out of bed, get out of your mind and start dreaming.

This will be my new mantra.

Love and light,
