Winter: Inward, Reflective, Hibernation
Snow has finally made its appearance on the Mount Desert Island. While for some this marks the beginning of a dark, cold and challenging time, for our earth it invites a warm insulating blanket for nutrients to seep into her soil, preparing it for the planting of spring. The quite snow and dark days remind us all that life is not just about being external; it reminds us of the very natural part of ourselves that needs to go inward, to pay attention to what's happening in our internal landscape, to nourish and prepare us for the time when the sun changes again, and we are more external in nature. Why is it so challenging for most of us to accept this as a time of inward looking? How do you feel about who you are right now? ...how you are living your life? ...the choices you are making on a day to day basis that create who you are and how your life is playing out? When its uncomfortable to look within there is usually something without that isn't fulfilling us... It takes courage to look within, to reflect and to cultivate an awareness of yourself and of the patterns we play out every day that keep us from living in alignment with the gifts we've been given. There are many tools available to support you on this incredible internal journey. Yoga is not just a practice of movement, or the funky strange twisted postures you see in books...its a way of living that cultivates deep awareness to who you are now and what you are doing that creates the life you are currently living. Postures are just one step on this road to self discovery... Therapeutic Offerings Please check out the new dates for the next Redefining Stress Group Program!!
