The workshop at Morning Mist Retreats last Saturday was exhilarating. It’s wonderful to spend part of the day with others who are devoted to personal development and a more soulful life. Moving our focus from ourselves helps us realize how similar (and yet deliciously different) we are.

Too often, I get wrapped up in my to-do list, always adding more and never quite seeing the end. Sometimes leaving the list behind is the only way to regain perspective and balance in my life. The moments when we step out of the ordinary and breathe help us experience our connection to others and our planet.  Personal development workshops, mind/body exercises (Qi Gong, Yoga, Tai Chi, etc.), energy work (Reiki, Acupuncture, Tonal healing), exploring nature, and creative pursuits help us step off the hamster wheel and experience the joy of being embodied!

Have you taken a moment for you today? Have you tapped  into your own desire for reconnection with your self and your environment?

Step off the wheel for at least a few minutes every day and rejoice in your senses. Feel the stretch of a yoga pose, inhale the smell of sweet jasmine blooming on a fence, get a massage, or just revel in the steady in and out of your breath.

At the workshop on Saturday I experienced again how powerful and peaceful a group meditation can be.  Throughout this week I’ve let the experience of group synergy power my dedication to sharing and learning with others.

Namaste.
