Sankulpa Revisited

So, last night - our first night of our last week of teacher training - we revisited our original Sankulpa, created a new one, and of course wrote about it and shared with the group. Here's mine.

Original Sankulpa: Love.Peace.Grow
When I began I was all about growing into my 30's and out of my 20's; eliminating toxins; becoming more peaceful with myself and others; and spreading the love~

New Sankulpa: Learn.Grow.Share. However, before my California/iRest trip I was using Stop.Breathe.Smile and sharing that with everyone who walked near my path. i still am using it from time to time.

Over the last 6 months I have learned to breathe - breathe for space...that our deep breaths create space from our initial thought to our action ~ so I'm learning about myself, learning about what I love / yoga "follow your heart". With this new spacious gift of knowledge I'm growing everyday - which excites me! Excites me to wake up, to work, to garden, to play ~ and to be able to turn around the next day and share all of this with my friends, family, co-workers, patients.

And don't forget to laugh. Laugh at yourself everyday. Even if its just a giggle! They say you're only one workout away from a good mood -- i now say you're only one laugh away from a brighter spirit; an inner smile. Let your heart smile and expand outward.

Namaste.
