Weekend Wisdom: Are you an inmate or a guard? Think of a prison building, the inmate anxiously waits to get outside those walls, to be released. The guards, leave every night, but come right back every morning, they love to come, to them is is a place to work and earn money. Yet the building is the same, the walls are the same. It is ONLY the mental attitude that is different, that jail is the jail. The next time you are dealing with a difficult situation, will you be the inmate or the guard?
(Paraphrased from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, translation by Sri Swami Satchidananda.)

Be Peace

"If there is peace in your mind you will find peace with everybody. If your mind is agitated you will find agitation everywhere. So first find peace within and you will see this inner peace reflected everywhere else. You are this peace. You are happiness, find out. Where else will you find peace if not within you?"

Do you have just 2 minutes?
In just 2 minutes you can experience calm and re connection.
Sit comfortably, in a chair., or on the floor, it doesn't matter.
Close your eyes. or lower them.
Breathe in
Breathe out.
To keep focused add the mantra, (silently or in a low voice,) : So Hum. it means:
"I am that:.
So = on the inhale
Hum = on the exhale.
Repeat for 2 minutes or longer if you like.

Amazing what 2 minutes of breath meditation can do
Namaste

Dolphin pose is a great alternative to down dog if you have sensitive wrists or want to build more strength in the shoulders. You can bend the knees or have the legs wide apart to shift the focus to the upper body.

"I prayed for change, so I changed my mind.
I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself.
I prayed for happiness and realized I am not my ego.
I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally.
I prayed for abundance and realized my doubt kept it out.
I prayed for wealth and realized it is my health.
I prayed for a miracle and realized I am the miracle.
I prayed for a soul mate and realized I am the One.
I prayed for love and realized it’s always knocking, but I have to allow it in. "

"Do everything with a mind that lets go. If you let go a little, you will have a little peace. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of peace. If you let go completely, you will know complete peace and freedom. Your struggles with the world will have come to an end..." ~Ajahn Chah
