Dear Earthling

There is a lot that I love about the practice of yoga. I love the way my body feels after an asana class, the feeling of muscles stretched, joints lubricated and an elevated sense of mood.

 I love how I get to spend a few moments of quiet, just to sit with myself, feeling my breath move in and out of my body, listening to the sounds of life around me, appreciating the life force that is within me, enjoying the energy that I am able to create in and around my body.

To all the teachers who’ve illuminated my path with the gift of yoga, I extend heartfelt thanks.

I find myself grateful that I can sit on the balcony of my mind, observing the thoughts as they rush by, just watching, watching without judgment, and finding a moment of peace amidst the chaos of a somewhat disorderly mind.

It is true, that once you step into the journey of yoga, the seed of self-observation will begin to germinate, and just like a flower begins to bloom, so will your awareness.

By nature I am quite a sociable being, I love to engage in good conversation and I particularly love how a simple word like ‘hello” can forge the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Our words are so potent and magical, powerful, and I have certainly noticed, how my own thoughts and words are able to shape my reality.

For me words are like tiny little spells , energetic blasts, cast out into the universe, waiting to swing back a me like a boomerang, good or bad, I am able to manifest. My words are the alchemy. And I am alchemist.

I wonder, dear earthling, are you as attuned to the potency of your words? Do you pause to listen to the story line you weave, the identity you create through your language? Can you summon the courage to peek into the world you’ve created, taking ownership of your actions without succumbing to the temptation of blame? Can you really see?

You are the architect of your reality, you are a potent magician with the power to shape your world. Are you aware of the energetic footprints you leave behind with every word spoken.

I invite you to observe your words, the spells you cast over your own life, over the lives of others, your partner, your children, your friends, your family, your work, your colleagues, your community, your country, this world, this universe. Do you see?

Let your words be a force for positivity and transformation, radiating love, compassion, and understanding into the universe.

Do not underestimate your power. Pause, reflect, and choose your words wisely. For in them lies the alchemy of creation.
