| WORDS OF WISDOM |
|
"Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life." — Christine Northrup |
| GRATITUDE |
|
Practicing gratitude (thanksgiving) is a powerful way to connect with feelings of love and boost the immune system. Gratitude often appears to be something you have not something you practice. But 'practicing gratitude' can have a profound effect on the quality of your day and it enriches your whole life: after all, you attract into your life that which you spend significant time thinking about. By choosing to spend some portion of your day focusing on those things for which you are grateful, you spend that much less time stewing over what you don't have or what did not happen. Upon waking up and after each yoga session, I always take a moment to bring to mind whatever I am grateful for at that moment. Try it next time you sit quietly at the end of your practice or when you awake; simply take a deep breath and bring to mind anything you are grateful for (big or small). Enjoy the feeling for a few moments and then send out your appreciation in return. back to top |
| ABUNDANCE |
| "Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present -- love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure -- the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth." -- Sarah Ban Breathnach. back to top |
| THANKSGIVING EVERY DAY |
| We can feel wonder at the magic of the blessings of each day... food to eat, loving beings around us, the possibility of creating the life that we dream of. http://www.innerself.com/Reflections/Im_Grateful_but.htm back to top |

| SHARING THE INSPIRATION - DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE OR TRAIN TO TEACH |
| I am grateful to have had the opportunity to study with renowned yoga teacher John Friend - for Three Weeks this fall, including an advanced therapeutic training! I have truly taken my practice and teaching to a new level. I am always amazed how endless learning is and how the 'journey' is really about becoming a beginner over and over again. I am excited to integrate my learning into my classes - and especially into the Bright Spirit Teacher Training program. Carrie Parker and I are now accepting applications for the Bright Spirit Training Three which begins in Feb 2003. This training is going to be the best yet, as Carrie and I continue to deepen our own practice and studies! For more info email jillian_love@yahoo.com or carriepark@aol.com (You can also catch Carrie's class at Be Yoga on Saturday mornings.) back to top |
| THANKS GIVING PRAYERS |
| LORDS PRAYER - Aramaic O cosmic brither of all radiance and vibration! Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide. Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission. Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire. Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to grow and flourish. Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes. Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose, but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment. For you are the ground and fruitful vision, the birth, power and fulfillment, as all is gathered and made whole once again. RENEWAL OF LIFE We join with the Earth and with each other to bring new life to the land, To recreate the human community, to provide justice and peace, To remember our children, to remember who we are, We join together, As many and diverse expressions of one loving mystery, For the healing of the Earth and the renewal of all life. back to top |
