“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
One of the most beautiful things about yoga is that it gives you a way to connect with your heart.
It starts simply. Just with awareness. Awareness of your heart.
For example, when was the last time you really felt your heart beat?
It's pretty amazing what the rest of your body (and your breath) will do when you listen in to that space.
Go ahead, right now, give it a listen.
Notice how the rest of you starts to slow down as well? Beginning with your breath, and then the shoulders, softening, things just feel better with awareness of your heart.
Truly, if you simply lay down, and focused on your heart space for an hour, you'd likely get more benefit from any yoga class.
Thats how much benefit the heart space will give you.
I find it helps to work with small goals on your way to great change. And the heart space is the perfect place to start!
This week, see if you can give yourself five minutes each day to close your eyes in a quiet place and listen to and feel the rhythm of your heart.
If you do, just be prepared for some pretty awesome results!
Big Love,
