December Update
It can be difficult to find and cultivate joy during this time of the year. We have responsibilities, parties, the pressure of purchasing gifts for others, family obligations, or no family. Every where we look we find images of what we are supposed to purchase to be happy and fulfilled. It is no wonder that we feel stressed. But where is the joy?
Eckhart Tolle suggests that the joy we need to carry us through is already inside us. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar speaks of a fountain of joy deep inside you. The trick is to uncover the joy, to release the blocks that keep us from experiencing our joy, and to clear the space so that joy flows.
What is it that awakens joy within you? A breath? A song? A movement? I need my yoga practice to remove the obstacles and to bring me into the present moment, because that is where my joy lives.
