I wish I could climb through your computer screen and grab a cup of tea and sit down and get to know you, face to face. I bet you have a beautiful smile when yo...u let yourself smile all the way. It would be such a gift to see that twinkle in your eye. Or hear your true, unguarded laugh, the one that surprises even you when it happens. Or maybe you're going through something shockingly painful right now. Just sitting and holding your hand while your heart breaks open and the tears keep coming, that would be fine. I know you have quirks and systems for getting through the day that are all your own, and I bet they're endearing when seen with love and a sense of humor. I'd like to hear the story of your first love or your first heartbreak (usually the same story, but not always). I'd like to hear about times you've been scared and have done it anyway, and about those fears you haven't conquered yet. I'd love to know about what's stopping you, or how nothing is. My point is, you are unique. There's only one you. Getting to know you would be like unraveling an amazing mystery, learning a new language, visiting a new country. Understand both that you are a tiny speck in an infinite universe, and also that you are the universe itself. You are as amazing and breathtaking as any star, as that perfect breeze on a very hot day, as the sun sparkling like diamonds off the ocean. Don't deny the miracle you are. Don't forget it, or ignore it, or take it for granted. Embrace all the parts of your uniquely awesome self, the light, the dark, the laughter, the quirks and the pain. Can't you see how mixing all of that together would make the most insanely gorgeous wings?! Hoping you fly today, and sending you so much love, Ally.

Yogis Anonymous Liked Sunday The mind can be so full of doubts and fears and reasons and projections and judgements. And it's so loud. And redundant. And obsessive. It carries us into the past, or projects us into the future. It regrets things that have passed and becomes anxious about things that may happen. It does not like to be still or quiet or peaceful. It's incredibly powerful. If it's full of can't's and shouldn't's it can shut us right down. Because every thought ...you have creates a chemical reaction in your body. And if your thoughts are creating a fearful inner environment, you are probably going to feel a little stuck. Fear tightens us up and shuts out so much light. The voice of your intuition, the voice of your heart speaks softly, but with utter conviction. If you can't hear that voice because your mind is screaming at you all the time, chances are you're feeling lost. Because that's your inner compass, and if your mind is so loud you can't locate that essential source of your well-being, that path-maker, that charter of a new course, I'm afraid the world will seem very dark, indeed. You KNOW what you want. You know whether you're on a path that's feeding your soul and lighting you up, or whether you are settling for far too little from yourself. Don't settle for less that you're capable of, because it will make you sick in your heart. Heartsick. Soul sick. Quiet your mind. Do something to get out of your head. Yoga works for me.
