At Her Lotus Feet Yoga

"Making memories" is a cliche I've used in the past and is often used to describe the good times we share with others, especially loved ones.
*
But what are you doing when you're alone?
*
What are your memories of being alone?
*
Are they joyful, happy, blissful memories?
*
Are they hidden, unhappy memories?
*
Are you comfortable with being on your own, creating your own memories, maybe not ever to share them?
*
Whatever way we label them, all memories are valid. They're a snapshot, like a photo, of a moment in time relating to a thought or emotion. Memories are "bookmarks"......what pages do you bookmark when you're alone?
*
If the memories we have whilst being alone are not happy ones, can we expect to make happy memories with others?
*
Is it time for you to take a look at your bookmarks? Resolve the unresolved?
*
This photo is unfiltered. Are your memories the same?
*
Meditation is the answer to everything.
*
Aum shanti shanti shanti 🙏

To all of you who measure time in the traditional manner, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda or Happy New year.
*
For those of you in Reality, Happy New Now.
*
Time is not simply a linear, one dimensional measurement of the passing of a moment, inexorably moving "forward" in one direction.
*
Time is infinite. Time has infinite dimensions. Time can be measured (should measurement be required) in infinite ways.
*
Each moment that arises and passes away is a moment of time; each moment is now, a moment of the infinite with infinite dimensions.
*
Each moment is now. Now is the infinite.
*
It is easy to confuse "making the most of our time" as constantly in a state of doing, rather than being.
*
Be now; be infinite; be multidimensional; be beyond limitations; be You 🙏🕉️
*
See you on the mat, now 🙏🧘🏼‍♂️

Reflection is an important part of our yoga practice. The ability to go within and seek out that which no longer serves us, so that we may let it go.

Woohoo! It's new yoga mat time!
*
A few years ago, I went to a class at what was then an all new Ashtanga Yoga studio in Cardiff that was called Rogue Yoga.
*
Aside from the yoga itself, and an amazing teacher, I also remember having used a mat that I hadn't come across before.....made of rubber and jute.
*
Fast forward a few years, and as fortune would have it, I came across a website for Ecoyoga.
*
www.ecoyoga.co.uk
*
On checking the website I saw that I could buy a wabi-sabi mat direct from Ecoyoga. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic concept of finding beauty and serenity in the imperfect.
*
Personally I'm struggling to see how the two mats that have come my way have any imperfections, and can only put that down to the obviously high standards employed by Seona at Ecoyoga.
*
Gratitude can be challenging to find at times, but a simple act of kindness shown by another can ripple far and wide, and I am in deep gratitude to Seona for supplying these fabulous two mats 🙏
*
Two mats are made for sharing....one for my little boy and one for his very proud Daddy....needless to say, as soon as the new mats were opened up, the Yoga Pretzels cards were scattered everywhere, and a form of yoga took place...all with love and plenty of fun and laughter.
*
Thank you Seona, your mats are amazing.

Walked into today to find out that there was a new menu, with an all new 'Vegan Ground' breakfast available....crushed avacaso, semi dried tomatoes, Portobello mushrooms, shakshuka & crispy onions on sesame rye.
*
It's always a pleasure to try a new menu item....this is superb.
*...and the best news of all, are expanding. The new Penarth premises is a couple of weeks away from opening, and another in Cowbridge will be following soon after.
*
Fresh baked bread, great food, fab (imported all the way from deepest Merthyr) always served with a smile.
*..and it isn't all vegan, carnivores are also catered for.
*
*
*
*
*
*

*
The stunning location of this new village hall is the perfect place for new classes. The underfloor heating simply adding to this beautiful new facility....you simply can't put a price on a beautiful sunset.
*
Monday was a particularly rainy day, and I was as pleasantly surprised as everyone else when the sun made an appearance at the end of the day.
*
With the weather in mind, it was such a joy to see so many happy faces, old and new, coming for the first class.
*

If you're pinning your hopes of saving the planet on , then please take time to stop and think again.
*
If you think by empowering overlords to manage the destruction of the habitat by which our species exists is going to help, simply put, you are wrong.
*
Their greed has already destroyed where we inhabit. Their greed will continue to destroy where we inhabit.
*
If you back their initiatives, all you are doing is giving them a green light to continue at a slower pace, but this time, backed by "popular public support".
*
There is an answer, but it is not in Glasgow, and not in the hands of the overlords.
*
The answer lies in the hands of the indigenous groups who have lived in harmony with Nature for tens of thousands of years.
*
The fight for indigenous peoples rights is not simply to "give them their land back". It is a fight for the survival of the habitat in which YOU live.
*
A fight to empower the people who live with Nature.
*
A fight to disempower the overlords who have presumed ownership and control of our habitat, and by doing so have presumed ownership and control over YOU! Your soul, your spirit, your very essence of being.
*
Now is not the time to further empower the overlords.
*
Now is the time to disempower them.
*
Now is the time to empower Your Self and in doing so, empower your habitat, your Nature, your earth, YOUR PLANET!
*
Introducing Ele G - indigenous peoples rights activist, musician, artist, poet, tattooist....the list goes on. You can find her music by looking up Ele G on and you can commission her beads by DM here on insta.
Her ancestral lands are on the foothills of Mount Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo.
Borneo is disappearing before our eyes. Vast areas of the oldest rain forest in the world being turned over to plantations.
*
So the next time you are tucking into your steak fed on soya (or if you are vegan, tucking into your tofu made from soya grown on plantations taken from indigenous people where once pristine rain forest existed), ask your Self how, if you could, you would look your great great great great great grandchild in the eye, and tell them it was worth it.
*
Love and golden light 🙏

It's been a while since .size tuned me in to so I it was with much antici......(say it Frankie!).....lation that I ordered a fully loaded breakfast bap......what was that you said? Did I like it? Would I recommend going there?
*
No, I didn't like it......I loved it! No, I wouldn't just recommend going there....I'd recommend moving there so you could eat there every day!
Soon to be possible, as thing amazing little family run, family staffed local business is opening seven days a week before long.
*
Joking aside....why in earth would you want to spend your hard earned furlough money/Covid19 business grant on a faceless corporate chain spewing out tasteless dead animals when you can support a local Cardiff family run business that is producing quality vegan food made with love.
*
The awakening has already happened....the choice is yours. You can go back if you like, or you can move forward.
