Yoga and Meditation Journal - 11/23/13

It has been a while since I journaled. It has been a rough couple weeks and my daily practice has waned a bit, but it will pick up again. I have kept it going weekly and as much as possible. 

Angel Song

Angels are calling
with songs of love
Sweetly streaming
from heaven above

I see them surround me 
with comforting charm
I feel them wrap me
up in their arms

They are all around us
if we but glance
Helping to guide us
at every glance

Drawn to our love,
our joy and our peace
Their love always flows
and will never cease

They are creatures of Light 
shining brightly for all
There to catch us
if we should fall

Open your eyes
and look very clear
For chances are
an angel is near

Open your ears
and hear their call
For they can help
to save us all.

The Pause

As I walk with intention
Life flows in me
Youthfulness returns to me
Time quietly pauses
Mindfulness works a miracle
Every moment is magical
Silence prevails
One breath at a time

Yoga and Meditation Journal - 11/5/13

Still going strong with my commitment to do yoga, meditate and walk every day. It has become an integral part of my life now and I can't imagine not doing it.

Time is Relative

Wiling away the day at the cafe
While others bustle to and fro
Caught up in the ebb and flow
We calmly sit as they flutter and flit
They dart and flee
As the time 
passes 
by us 
luxuriously

In Between

Day or Night?
Before the morning light
As the dew starts to fall
The darkness still calls
I don't want the night to end
It has always been my friend
In the wee hours all alone
I can find my silent home
So the peace of night I borrow
On this, the quiet side of tomorrow

Yoga and Meditation Journal - Week of 10/21/13

I have been doing yoga and meditation every day for a month and it is transforming my life!

The Elements

I release to the Earth
all my Fear and pain
My Sadness is removed
and my true self remains

I embrace the Air,
Moon and stars above
I spin in their orbit
which envelops me with Love
I release my Anger
to the red hot Flames
I feel it leave my body
I no longer play its games

The Water washes over me
cleansing my Soul
Refreshing my energy
and making me whole

The Tree stands within me
Powerful and strong
The Elements surround it
I am right where I belong

I feel complete now
The Forces did I see
They brought a Deep Peace
and inner harmony

Yoga and Meditation Reflections - Week of 10/14/13

I had another wonderful week of daily yoga and meditation as well as my daily walks which are a meditation in themselves. I have done this daily practice for three weeks now and it is really transforming my life. I have wished to make these daily practices for years now, but feel that this is becoming a reality that I can sustain for my life. It is so rewarding.

Fear and Peace

Fear is the mind killer
and a spirit killer too,
Once you let it in,
it will eat away at you.

Fear is the wasteland
of your broken dreams;
The primal power that
makes you want to scream.

Fear is a trap
holding you so tight,
You cannot loose its grip,
if you try with all your might.

We must seek it out
and let it bubble up,
Before it overtakes us,
and the dam erupts.

Release the fear
into the light of day,
Only then can you 
clearly see the way.

Peace is the answer
to your every prayer;
Open up your heart
and find it everywhere.

Peace is the fountain
that will wash away your sin,
Quiet your mind
and let it seep in.

Peace is the key
to open up the cage;
Let go of your grip
and let it take away your rage.

We must accept it
and let it sink into our pores;
The more we open up,
We can feel it more and more.

Embrace the peace
into your every cell;
Let it find its home
and within your heart dwell.
