NICOLE OHME

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

My all time favorite when it comes to Yoga Philosophy is
Krishnamurti. His writings are always deeply thought provoking and simple, but never easy.

“Love is something that is new, fresh, alive.
It has no yesterday and no tomorrow.
It is beyond the turmoil of thought.
It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and
the innocent mind can live in a world which is not innocent.
To find this extraordinary thing which man has sought endlessly through sacrifice, through worship, through relationship, through sex, through every form of pleasure and pain, is only possible when thought comes to understand itself and comes naturally to an end.
Then love has no opposite. Then love has no conflict.
If you don’t know what to do, you do nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Then inwardly you are completely silent.
Do you understand what that means?
It means that you are not seeking, not wanting, not pursuing;
there is no centre at all.
Then there is love.”
(To read more go to Krishnamurti)
~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

How easy it is to get lost in the madness of the world and not to see how we can make a difference and contribute to the environment around us?

Little acts of kindness to people around us as well as not giving any energy to people or activities that just drain your energy.
Instead engaging in things that bring joy and peace to your life rather than fear and stress is a good starting point.

When you focus on possibilities and little daily fruitful habits,
it will create a ripple effect into the world like a pebble dropped
into a pond.

Start to observe your yoga practice to see what is helping you to feel better and empowered and what is not serving your well being. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t demand things from yourself, but we all know when it is a good challenge and when not. 🙂
In the end it comes always back to living from the heart –
the heart knows!

“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

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

is not education at all.”

Excellence, therefore is not an act, but a habit.”

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

This week our focus changes from being open to the unknown,
to exploring the power of aligning ourselves with our vision.
Goals are our stepping stones towards this vision.
Engaging all the senses and placing our attention on it sets
an immense amount of energy free.
Once we have painted a clear picture for ourselves, we can give it up to the unknown again.
As important as it is to be open to new roads and possibilities,
it is to place and direct our awareness to our intentions that lead us to more fulfillment.
