August 2023 Week 5

“Go inside and listen to your inner voice. Every question has an answer. Look deeper and listen to that quiet voice. Your soul is full of wisdom and knows the way.” Yogi Bhajan

How are you doing as the month closes out and the summer winds down? The intention this month has reminded us to turn inward, as Yogi Bhajan said - “to look deeper and listen”. Have you been able to do this in any way? So many options have been presented….meditation, prayer, journaling, yoga, beach walks, hiking, ocean dips. Have you been able to “focus - say yes to one thing and no to everything else” (Fr. Mike on Hallow). Or have you had a chance to reset as Stephanie Snyder said - “reset is simply remembering who we are and depleted is forgetting who we are.” I heard once that our energy flows where our intention goes. With the help of this intention, I have been able to reset, turn inward, listen and remember who I am and who I want to be. This is a magnificent shift from how I entered the month depleted with frenetic, scattered energy. Practicing with all of you as well as the cleanse mid month set me back on the right track and in that space I have had moments of feeling the grace of the wisdom of my soul - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
The truth that lives within me is the only guide I need!!!!!

Before the month closes, practice drawing your attention inward. Maybe take a yoga class with your eyes closed as often as you can, and allow time to listen.

A few more quotes from Yogi Bhajan to leave you with……

“Intuition can only be developed by developing your own meditation. And that means time. We need time to develop our own meditation.”

“You will be tested - but that is the nature of life.
When life is very rough, be very calm.
Go inside and find your soul.
Be neutral and meditative, and the way will become more clear. “
