Break the Chain

“We have to work on ourselves until we can be in the world without being automatically reactive. As the stuff of the world around us comes pouring in on us, instead of reacting with fear and aversion or greed and grasping, the art is to introduce a moment of clear, quiet awareness between the input (or perception) and the output (or response). By adding this moment of awareness, we break the chain of reactivity that keeps us all so unconsciously bound.”

— Ram Dass

Hello yogis,

For those of you who attend the Weekley YMCA, our yoga classes will be shifting time next week to 5:30 pm - 6:15 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. They will also be moved indoors and limited to 20 participants per class, so that people can space themselves out on every other marked floor dot (twice the social distance).

If you’re not comfortable attending in-person classes at this time, please join me on Zoom for our live donation-based classes at the Council on Recovery every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm:

May you be happy, healthy, peaceful, and free!

Everyday

“Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive and have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”

— H.H. The Dalai Lama
