A beautiful young person said to me this week, "I want to bring back boredom because what we do is too crazy". What an enlightened thing to say. Stopping, stilling, expanding silence, being... does more than bring us calm. It leads us to Truth under the crazy. We have an inkling that the overwhelm and business is not who we truly are or want to be. Yogis over thousands of years who had/have nothing to proove cannot be wrong can they? The purpose of physical yoga is to prepare you for meditation: to be bored of how our mind currently holds us down. https://www.becalmedstudio.com/blog/the-truth-of-who-we-are

Learn meditation and learn how to still the mind so you can see who you truly are. Learn to meditate at BeCalmed Studio, meditation classes in Porirua, including yoga and sangha.

Something has shifted. Things are the same. Balancing in the middle. Tilt. One breath forward.

We are wired for drama because our mind is scared of calmness. Calmness allows insight. Drama or calm?

View from an ashram. I'm still processing my recent time in India. Luckily, you get the benefits of my experience! BeCalmed Studio classes have started for the year. Less than 10% of yoga is about the physical asanas (poses). Come and explore the other 90% at BeCalmed Studio this year. Your view will change. https://www.becalmedstudio.com/studio-classes

Meditation is not stopping your thoughts. Meditation is watching your thoughts from a position of such nonresisted kindness, that they feel seen enough to pass on through. Next year BeCalmed Studio will align more with meditation.

How you start your day will shape your day, your life. Before you even open your eyes, gently press the palm of your hand to your chest. Slight smile on your lips to tell your nervous system that everything is okay, even if part of you is saying its not all okay. Take a deep breath in, and out. Ask yourself what you need today. Wait for the answer that is already waiting to float up. Or feel the warm sensation of your plam on your chest. Feel as though it has already happened with every nerve and cell in your body. Change your mind. Believe in this subtle experience. Go about your day. Feel the shift.
