Awaken to the Silence Within
I’m a 30 something girl with a love to write. I’m not decorated with fancy degrees or credentials. I’m just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. I’m girly, emotional and sensitive. I have a little inner child who loves to play. I’m happy, energetic, and silly. I practice yoga, have Buddha statues around my home and have a regular meditation practice. I’m a sucker for love, hug trees, and live every day to it’s fullest. I love to camp and hike and cook on the grill. I love the taste of a really nice cigar and although I prefer wine I sure do love appreciate the taste of a nice cold beer every now and again. I love riding around the beautiful green earth on my mountain bike with the wind by my side. I’m not a big fan of “fluff” and do my best to keep it real.
I live my life as true to myself as possible, but I’m still human and far from perfect. My intentions are pure and my heart full of genuine love, but I certainly get angry and irritable sometimes. One would think with all the yoga and meditation, I would be enlightened by now, but that would be missing the whole point of life. I’ve faced a lot of challenge in my life and suffered much heartache so I’m very much in touch with my feelings. Some days I’m on top of the world and feel more alive than ever and then there are those days I just want to crawl under my covers and hide from the rest of the world. I have no idea what changes from one day to the next, but it makes for an exciting ride.
Too many people are sleep walking through life…caught up in the mind…allowing their thoughts and emotions to control their life instead of their true essential nature. We don’t have to be perfect yogis or retreat up to the Himalayans and meditate on a mountain-top to live a life of joy. We are human and imperfect and have to function in a world where there is a tremendous amount of suffering so there’s a middle ground…a place of balance…a place where you can honor all parts of yourself while still acting in accordance with your higher self. It’s about living life consciously.
Yoga and meditation helped me find balance and grounding and it’s definitely a daily battle to keep the equanimity, but the rewards are beyond words.
Here’s to awakening and living life to the fullest…
Hugs, sunshine, & yoga bliss…
