You are the whole of
Shiva
yet existing within
 Shiva.

- Swami Nirmalananda

Do you “go with the flow”?    Swami Nirmalananda tells us that “control is an illusion”.  Have you noticed in your life what happens when you don’t  go with the flow?    My experience with refusing to go with the flow has given me several lessons, and at times…these lessons turn into very painful experiences - sometimes physically - sometimes emotionally.  My mind used to tell me that I wasn’t ”good enough”…  I compared myself to others and always felt somehow “small”.   I thought I had to effort to improve myself.     My mind dictated that I had to do something to make my world change.  After contemplating  this theme, I found  that I already was what I need to be…. and my refusing to rest into that beingness was my downfall.  I discovered that my thoughts were far from the truth.  Going with the flow ~ allowing life to unfold in it’s own way is the Truth.    

What would happen if we simply trust in the natural unfolding?  Why do we feel that we have to do so much to make ourselves over constantly?   Go with the flow…   Give it a try!   I have used this concept in my own life recently.  I am “letting go” of ideas and pre-conceived notions.  I feel as if I am reclaiming my life.  We are more than just this body, we are more than what our mind tells us we are. …there is a deeper level of existence that is always with us.  To access that deeper level and “go with the flow”, it’s necessary to have a quiet mind.  Meditation or mantra repetition will help you achieve a quiet mind. When the mind stops chattering  and resisting, you can “go with the flow”, you are able to think more clearly and your reaction to what had been bothering you drops away.   “DO MORE YOGA”

The Kathopanishad describes Shiva as “greater than the greatest”
and as “smaller than the smallest” -   encompassing and becoming
the expanse of space  
(and beyond)
to the subatomic particles
(and smaller).

- Memorial Day Weekend Schedule -

   -   CLASS CANCELLATION NOTICE  -   NO CLASSES on SUNDAY MAY 30th and  MONDAY, MAY 31st  for the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend.

***   Attention Students ***      

 It is with sadness that I close the doors of Gateway Yoga Studio soon.   Classes will continue through Tuesday, June 29th, 2010.   I plan to move to Madison, WI and start a practice there. Two of my students are preparing to offer Svaroopa(R) yoga classes in the DeKalb/Sycamore area.  It’s important for you to continue your yoga  practice ~ especially by developing your own practice at home.  The Magic Four poses are the primary spinal opening poses that offer deep healing and transformation.  These poses elimnate pain, but you must do the poses to enjoy the benefits of the yoga.    All of the yoga poses are designed to transform the way you live…  Svaroopa(R) yoga specializes in transformation of body and mind.  I urge you to seek out a teacher that will help you to develop your practice so that you can continue to unfold the bliss that lies inside you.

 Abby Chemers and Ed Miguel have been teaching classes at my studio  for a few months and have a good foundation to teach.  Abby will return to Master Yoga this year to continue with YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) to further her knowlege and skill by teaching Daily Practice, Lower Spinal Release and Upper Spinal Release sequences when she returns from classes.
