Yoga Bliss

To be outside doing Yoga, Bliss!

A Blessing for the Senses, by John O’Donohue

May your body be blessed.
May you realize that your body is a faithful and beautiful friend of your soul.
And may you be peaceful and joyful and recognize that your senses are sacred thresholds.
May you realize that holiness is mindful, gazing, feeling, hearing, and touching.
May your senses gather you and bring you home. May your senses always enable you to celebrate the universe and the mystery and possibilities of your presence here.
May the Eros of the Earth bless you.

It is a profound act of self love to be willing to see ourselves as we are and choose kindness. A gentle exploratory practice that gives lots of space for people to obverse themselves with this intention of deep presence as an act love.

May I be filled with love and kindness
May I be safe from inner and outer danger
May I be well in body and mind
May I be at ease and happy
