Bright Sunny Days

     Currently listening to this beautiful playlist after a meditation. I've listened to Dennis Kuo for 3 years now and his music still feels like my heart has been waiting to sing these melodies since I was young. I know that sounds odd, but it is the only way I know to describe it. I hope you all enjoy. Let's take a little more time to enjoy the feeling sunshine (or clouds!) and wind today as nature plays its own songs for us. Many blessings, everyone! - Katelin

Solar Eclipse, New Moon, & Self Love / Body Love Yoga

     Hello again, everyone and Happy October! Did anyone get a chance to see the Solar Eclipse or the New/Dark Moon yesterday? I didn't, but that didn't keep me from celebrating with some yoga, meditation, and this delicious Lemon Half Moon Cake (I wanted to get 2 to make a whole moon, but alas, ...money ;)):

     I hope everyone uses the energy of this New Moon and Solar Eclipse to rid yourselves of negativity, bring new, positive energies to yourself and those around you, and to treat yourself with renewed respect, love, and kindness. 

     Now, moving on to my morning. I just participated in such a beautiful online yoga practice taught by Nicky Jones on doyogawithme.com. You'll find the link to the entire video here: http://www.doyogawithme.com/content/love-yourself. This gentle, Hatha yoga video is completely centered on thanking and loving your body, your mind, and your soul. One comment Nicky makes during the practice really stuck out to me: 

"You deserve the same love you give to others."

     What a simple thought, yet most of us treat our bodies like our enemies or things we just have to "deal with". Love your body. Hug and treat your body like you would your best friend. Be so thankful in your body that you wouldn't dream of wanting anything else. Easier said than done, I know. But I promise you, in time, you can come to absolutely love your body, your soul, and all of your passions and quirks. Have a blessed day of new beginnings and old friends.
