playing with silks....

Thursdays are my "aerial yoga" days. Class is just over an hour and involves a yoga based warm up and some "tricks" building toward choreography on the silks. My friend and instructor, Nikki Nasto, assists me with the following abdominal challenge designed for those of you who are interested in a firm flat stomach that not only looks good but supports a healthy and mobile spine!

embrace....

"To embrace one's brokenness, whatever it looks like, whatever has caused it, carries within it the possibility that one might come to embrace one's healing, and then one might come to the next step: to embrace another and their brokenness and their possibility for being healed." 

-Robert Benson

healthy abundance...

"A little child is cared for regardless of how improvident and careless he or she may be. Eventually, however, a child is expected to grow up and care for itself. It is much the same in the inner life. When we have grown a certain degree and are beginning to attain a higher awareness, the time arrives when, if we want health and abundance, it becomes our responsibility to be healthy and abundant."

 -G. Fowler

what daily steps do you take--both inwardly and outwardly--towards health and abundance?
