Purposeful Growth Wellness & Yoga

04/10/2020

Remember the last time you walked through a hall of mirrors. There was a whole host of distortions presented to your perception of reality that day. I have to ask did you walk out knowing you were tall, short, fat, skinny, wavy or did you have an understanding it was all a short time clouded perception? You collected your thoughts and created your own reality. I invite you today to transition the perception today. Are you STUCK at home or are you STAYING home? Wipe the haze off the mirror or look in a different one. Take a deep breath, change the story and move on. This can be a beautiful time of opportunity. Have you had so many things in your head and wished you had the quiet time to sort thru? Maybe so many things to do but never had the time. Today you have nothing but time. Make a commitment to those things that might clear some of the haze off the mirror.

The studio is closed but the idea of Purposefully Growing is not. I am hoping that you are well at this time and praying for those that are not or having a difficult time with isolation.

I personally LOVE being with people. I to have thought, "How are we going to get through this?" The answer is not a hard one. There is this thing in yoga called Seva. Seva is a Sanskrit word meaning selfless service. Seva does not need to happen on a grand scale. Think about a selfless action. Holding open a door, for example, is a small act of selfless service. We have all been called to take care of each other by staying home.

It is NOT easy. I know most of us are not adhering to our stay at home orders for our own protection but for the protection of our loved ones, our communities and the world. In those moments of anxiety, sadness and even despair, please remember this is a global act of loving service for all that are called humans.

Much love. Much gratitude,
Darlene

First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. — Aristotle

It is time for Purposeful Growth Wellness and Yoga to regroup and re-align. Effective immediately the yoga space in Howe Center is closed. When the health crisis is over I will be available for private instruction. More to follow with that in April.

Thank you for sharing your practice with me and stay true to whatever calling your soul moves you toward.

Be informed be well and forever grateful,

Darlene Perry

There has to be a balance between stillness and activity. Let's work on the stillness part. No cell phones, no computers, no tweets. How does a little quiet sound? Unfortunately for many that is a challenge. Wanna practice? See you at 5:30 for a restorative yoga experience.

May we turn inside for guidance before reacting to outside stimuli. May we begin to understand the balance between indulgence and restraint. It is then we realize that we are walking hand in hand with God when we are experiencing joy.

This reminds me of we talked about in class this week.

We create our own suffering, covering our own eyes and then complaining that it's dark. It was only when I stopped blaming other people and circumstances for my anguish that I was finally able to alleviate it. 🧘‍♂️

May we let go of our conditioned mindsets, beliefs and past experiences. Take a look at the moment in front of you as it is RIGHT NOW. Open up to it's truth.
