Day 1, Ripples of Happiness

How shall i begin...today is one of the most beautiful days in my life
of great openess, appreciation, many many smiles and more
as the day flowed on i grew happy and happier still
finding myself present and whole, being where i am natually meant to be
and i feel such shine and warmth from the inner core of my being
feeling connected to the natural energy that's in and beyond myself
how beautiful it is
this sense of wellbeing
i am rooted to the heart of the earth
to mountains, to trees, to grass, to rivers
to the ocean, to the sky, to the clouds, to the sun, the moon
to the very breath of life, i feel one with truth
that resonates the most wonderous energy with the best intention
and i am so happy to be living
so happy to be on the path of my dharma
such joy, such happiness welling up from the inside
i feel very much loved, simply being here and now
i feel so thankful

Stephen asked us in the morning
to set one's own Sankalpa: intention big and small, for the workshop

my Sankalpa is:
I'd love to learn how to ground
to be intuned and connect with inner wisdom
to root down well in foundation
to find a sense of freedom and clarity in center
learn how to integrate all aspects of yoga in everyday
to be of love and wisdom from the heart
to become a better teacher
knowing how to observe and be compassionate
be of support to assist others in safety and comfort
i want to be a healer
i want to be one pure minded
i love to learn to sing Mantras by heart
i love to get to know and understand yoga anatomy
i want to shine my light from the inside brightly
to take heart i am happy in the center

i am a loving shining spirit

there's such completeness cultivated today that i feel truly blessed
i am so thankful, for the field of energy
wisdom and guidence of the teacher, teacher's teachers
TT mates in walking the path side by side at this time
polishing our individual authenticity together
and as a whole creating a beautiful experience

i feel so fortunate to be learning
being mindful in the awareness that brings to light

OM Love
OM a Hum
