Full Moon uk

As the weather changes here in the UK from a very pleasant, sunny summer to a beautiful autumn freshness and changing colours in nature; I sit and wonder at "what is".   The world is so hard for many of our brothers and sisters and it can make us feel so sad and helpless at what little we can do to change their lives when our lives are so fortunate.  Being grateful is at least a start and compassion is a gift to all . Watching the programme last night with Brian Cox on TV was heartening.   Seeing how we all came from beginnings in Ethiopia and how we are therefore all related to one another regardless of colour, language, culture, religion etc....gives further affirmation to the yoga creed that "we are all one".   I trust that people now have learnt to see beyond the propaganda and nationalistic hype that abounds in all the media and to listen rather to their hearts.  People are the same and have the same basic needs. When these are not met then some will eventually become what is termed 'extreme'.   How would we re-act if we had their lives, I wonder?  Practise tolerance and kindness and be forgiving of those who cannot do this anymore after years of abuse and terror.   If we join them in their hatred then there is no end except extinction.  
I wish you all courage to stay firm in the conviction  that all will be well and we do not need to strive to compete or defend ourselves.  We are protected and we are eternal.  Our actions will be judged and karma will balance all in time.

Sunday 21st September International Peace Day

I wish you all a peaceful sunday filled with beauty.  Lift up into the Light like the pond flowers whose roots are deep in the mud and grime but yet they fill our lives with scent and colour as they reach up into the Light.
Good example to follow!

Who is watching who?

Our little friend sat with us by the pond and watched the world go by.   Find your spot and see how still you can be.

Gathering

Wow.  What a wonderful circle under the hornbeams in Bushy Park.  A little drizzle as we walked in silence with our peace mantra and then the sun broke through the canopy of leaves and we danced the Four Corners  in the dappled light.  Vibrant Greens helped us open the heart chakra with the lotus mudra..
Oms vibrated through the air and the birds joined in!   Our circle of ten was joined, I know,. by many more yogis who could not attend this time.  Thanks for the donations to Medecins sans frontieres and I trust others will donate on their site as well.  They are truly helping those in desperate need and with little thought of their own safety.  Real Love.

Hurricane/rain check/full moon

Full Moon 10.8.2014 which will be bigger than usual as it is closer to the earth tonight.   Lotus mudra will be powerful in the moonlight.   We hope you enjoyed the day and were not too disappointed we had to change the meeting to next week due to the heavy rain.  Some students will now be able to come and some will be away and miss the circle this time round.  All is as it is meant to be.   Breathe...relax...accept...........
Om shanti shanti  shanti

Summer time

Summer newsletter has been sent out so do let me know if you have not got your copy.   Enjoy the sunshine and breathe deeply in nature to get the most of the strong prana around to warm us and to keep in store for the end of this year.  We had a wonderful time in Hampshire.  Looking forward to re-starting some reading and meditation groups in the autumn and to our summer gathering next sunday.
We wish you all Peace and Love.

Always look on the bright side of Life

So many old souls sending out light in 2014 as this period of unrest and conflict still continues until the end of this year.  Dolly sang her big heart out and it was so BRIGHT and JOYOUS that we forgot the doom and gloom if we were open to receive.  The following quote came to me again and I share it with you now.

"Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other" . P.Coelho

I ask you to consider that important break ups or relationships that do not work are also chosen.  Sometimes we try to make it happen and it is such a trial and effort.  This is telling us that perhaps it is not meant to be.  Let it go and see where the flow takes you!
