Spirit Joy
Our spirit sings when we remember how interconnected we are. Who you are and what you do has always mattered. How you speak and what you create has already made an impact on the world around you. Never think for a moment that you are living within a vacuum. You have already done so much in this world just by taking a breath here. Your spirit has unfolded into the gift of your body and has been sending out a vibration unique to you. The world around you has shifted because of you being in it.
Feed the joy in your spirit with this recognition. Wake up and see that every day matters. The level of your participation in the day can be small or great. As Anusara yogis we choose greatness for ourselves and others. However, on the day that you feel the smallness of your human self challenging your sense of purpose, your acts of greatness and in general your sense of Self, remember that by nature, your human self is limited. Step into your center, embrace your spirit and ride her wings to a higher vision of life. A small act that creates Joy is as valuable as a great act. It all matters. When you are lost in that small place – seek joy. Find it in connection. Seek connections with other bright-hearted people. Seek connection in creating joy for others and you will find it for yourself. Use your words, your hands and your mind. Do great things. Do small things. You matter. Your life matters. You have so much to offer. Step into the remembrance of your connection and nourish your spirit with Joy.
This week we step into connection with our fellow mat mates and recognize how much they have influenced our own heart’s joy.
