Spaciousness Around Your Creative Process

Have you ever found yourself feeling guilty because you are not producing at the level you expect of yourself? I am referring here primarily to your creative output; the book you say you want to write or the painting you know you have in you. And yet you've been talking about it for years. I have been working with people and observing their creative process for years now. My observations lead me to believe that we need to embrace the notion of spaciousness in the arena of creative productivity. I think that in order for our creative juices to flow out of us, there needs to be a buildup of energy, of resources within us. Like water behind a dam. If we are spending our days busy busy busy, there is not going to be enough energy left over to wake up the Muse. Just scheduling the hour to write is simply not enough, in the long haul of a person's lifetime. We may be able to do it for while. And some truly gifted persons may be able to do it that way period. But for many of us, I suspect that there needs to be a more loving perspective. (Judgement phrase).

Spaciousness Around Your Heart

Swami Kripalvananda: " My beloved child, break your heart no longer. Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart."

Yoga ": "Feel every cell in your body alive with yoga. Use Ujjaya breath to listen to your breath, bringing prana, life energy, to every cell."

Feel your grace and beauty as you move into the stretch.

***"The key to your fulfilment is to let the posture be a vehicle, your tool to strengthen this vessel you've been given in this lifetime, so that you can hold more energy, more light, so that there's more room for you inside."
