Being in the moment

It has been a reflective week of allowing things to be as they are and practicing non-attachment. I think the brief moments of Monday’s eclipse are a great metaphor for this. We often want a moment or an experience to last longer and we focus our attention on clinging to it or lamenting its eventual passing, rather than on experiencing the moment as it is. But as the eclipse teaches us, the world literally keeps turning and one moment moves onto the next.

In addition to the powerful Aries new moon (my apologies for mixing that up last week) and eclipse, we are also in the middle of a cycle of Mercury in Retrograde. This is a very intuitive energy which can allow us to tune in more mindfully to our inner wisdom. According to Forever Conscious Sunday the 12th is a powerful day for clarity and perspective on things from the past or that have been unclear. Allow yourself to be open to the possibilities.

There will be no Saturday Morning Yoga this weekend, but please feel free to practice with previous recordings of Saturday Morning Classes as well as Evening Chair Yoga on my Youtube channel. I look forward to seeing you next week. You may also enjoy a growing variety of meditations I have available on the Insight Timer app that you can access for free. I’d appreciate your offering a rating on the meditations as well.

Space is still available for the Mindfulness for Educators Retreat at Drala Mountain Center, June 17th-20th. I will be co-leading the retreat with Dr. Andra Brill. We’d love to have you join us!!
