Home is in your Heart and Mind

I LOVE days off (like Sundays or whatever your 'day off' is) because I get to do things like cook great food for the week, maybe a little cleaning and most of all, do something creative! When you practice yoga everyday your 'juices' get flowing, meaning your creative juices and your compassionate juices all come together for a heart and mind center connection! This is vital in today's world of crazy things happening, but most of all to create the sanctuary of peace and joy right within your home. Home is in your heart and mind and it too is in the place you live. Living means dwelling, and in yoga we dwell 'within', your house where your furniture is and the house where your heart is. The internal journey is the most important journey and becomes then the expression of the outward journey. Sometimes there are conflicts between the inner and the outer, and yoga will help you make the connection that is needed to live a blessed, joyful, peaceful and healthy life. So get your creative juices flowing and do something fun and inventive! Today, I put pretty contact paper that matches my bathroom décor in my ugly internal medicine cabinet, and now it looks so appealing and pretty! I added a few motivational sayings so that when I open it to get my toothbrush or neti pot to cleanse myself, I am reminded to 'smile', of 'beauty and balance' and to 'go confidently' into each day! Have a sunshiney day!
