Lovingkindness
Hello Friends!
My heart is heavy again this week with the onslaught of violence by our government extending its reach across the globe. Holding onto our humanity and compassion during these times is an essential act of resistance. It can be easy to get sucked into retaliating by dehumanizing those who are perpetrating the violence, but then we become complicit in their story. Sending lovingkindness into the world creates a shift in energy. If we all take a few moments each day to do so, we can start the ripples of peace that will eventually become waves. I invite you to practice with these or your own lovingkindness phrases.
May all beings be safe. May all beings be happy. May all beings be healthy. May all beings have peace. May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature. May all beings be free.
There will be no Saturday Morning Yoga March 7 or 14. I encourage you to continue to show up for yourself on the mat and care for yourself with lovingkindness as you practice at home or elsewhere. As always feel free to practice with previous recordings of Saturday Morning Classes as well as Evening Chair Yoga on my Youtube channel.
It is hard to believe that the Spring Equinox is only a few weeks away! Sign up now for my Spring Renewal Afternoon Retreat on March 28 from 3-5 PM at Harmonist Sanctuary.
There are still a few spaces available in this summer’s Mindfulness Retreat for Educators, June 13-17 at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. Space is limited, so sign up soon!
COMING SOON! I will be offering the Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion this spring. SCMSC is a 6 week adaptation of the full MSC course where you will learn to use the skills of mindfulness to develop the inner resource of self-compassion and enhance your capacity for emotional wellbeing.
