We were really hoping to see the Buddhist Monks and were disappointed that they were so close and yet, our schedules did not align to see them in person. I'd been following them online for days. Then... we heard they were just down the street. We scrambled.... Jumped in our car... drove down the street.... And then.... there they were.... we parked.... and then we ran to catch up to them...
So inspired by their discipline. Their devotion. Their 'Walk for Peace', designed to promote national healing, mindfulness, and compassion ~ amidst global conflict.... There was a sense of awe... A 'quiet' essence felt...
No protest. No agenda. Just peace. 🙏 It was beautiful...

People paused. Hearts softened. Tears were shed....
Across beliefs, politics, and differences.... an invitation — to slow down, breathe, and remember what connects us.

Their walk is dharma in motion, reminding us that peace begins within… and we need that now more than ever. And a reminder "that unity and kindness begin within each of us and can radiate outward to families, communities, and society as a whole," Bhikkhu Pannakara, spiritual leader of the Walk for Peace. Truth.....

In Yoga-Mojo practices this week, I'm sharing
✨ Lokah Samastah Sukhinoh Bhavantu ~ May all beings be free from suffering~ May all beings be happy & free
✨ Om Mani Padme Hum ~ The jewel is in the lotus,” a reminder that wisdom and compassion already live within us as tools for inner calm, clarity, and compassion.

May peace ripple outward. 🕊️

And, thanks to Laura A for sharing flowers received when she connected with the Buddhist Monks. Peace ripples.... Kindness ripples... Connection.... 💜

It's a magickal time of the year! A time when Mother Earth goes quiet. A time to honor the real and spiritual 'dark' -- and to celebrate the return of the light.
Our ritual-inspired practice will open with **mantra, mudra, and pranayama**, and candle meditation ~ flowing into Yoga-Mojo’s Stretch & Release asana. You will then be guided through a special seasonal storytelling of **The Yule Faeries – A Winter Solstice Story,** coupled with the vibrations of a blissful Gong Bath and singing bowls in an extended Savasana.

A beautiful way to rest, release, and welcome the returning light.

Need a reset? Looking to release stress and restore balance?
Join me on Tuesdays at 11am at Cary Yoga Collective for Yoga Nidra — a soothing, guided meditation often called “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation.”

In this practice, you’ll rest comfortably (traditionally lying down) while your attention is gently guided inward. As the mind drifts between wakefulness and sleep, you’ll explore a state of deep ease where the breath softens, the body unwinds, and both the conscious and unconscious layers of the mind have space to settle.

In our constantly busy world — full of thinking, planning, analyzing, and doing — slowing down can feel nearly impossible. Yoga Nidra offers a sanctuary: a dedicated time to rest deeply, reconnect with yourself, and experience a spacious, meditative inquiry without effort.

Yoga Nidra is a practice of healing, compassion, and surrender.
Come rest, restore, and simply be. Yoga-Mojo
