Yoga gives the gift of a calm mind, even in the midst of chaos, by teaching you to let go and bring awareness to every moment. In this expanded state of consciousness, you experience freedom from suffering.
You remember your essential spiritual nature, and life becomes more joyful, meaningful, and carefree. Mind-body integration means establishing a healthy dialogue between your thoughts and your cells. Your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions influence every cell in the body and therefore play a major role in your wellbeing. Yoga is a powerful practice that enhances your mind-body integration. Through conscious breathing, movement, and attention to the physical postures, you cultivate a state of body-centered restful awareness.
You listen to the signals your body is sending to you in the present moment and you expand the energy in your body through your attention and intention. A body that is listened to responds with greater strength, vitality, and health. We also offer a number of options to help you grow your personal practice. We teach the practice at the Seduction of Spirit meditation and yoga retreat, the Journey Into Healing mind-body health workshop, and our Perfect Health six-day program.

And another person shared that meditation through their Buddhist lens was like creating a space between themselves and that which is outside of themselves.
A buffer between the impulse to react in anger, to contemplate your actions before you respond. What a beautiful practice of mindfulness is that? In this world of conflict and crowded emotions, all of us imperfect people with our imperfect actions bumping up against each other, to practice recognizing the impact that the world has upon you, and that you have upon others? We human beings always have something that we can learn from one another.
It saddens me that we have so many walls and divisions between us, when we all are pursuing the same truths through the lenses of our own experiences and faiths. Tonight, in our Ash Wednesday service at my church, we were invited to light a candle as we set an intention for the month of Lent. But in our service tonight we were invited to consider that an equally valid practice may be to do something new for Lent. To me, it is blissfully, profoundly joyful even in its bittersweetness.
