Living from the inside out is coming from our deepest knowing rather than just our thinking. For those of us who have practiced thinking our way around the world for many years, there are practices to help us learn to connect to our innermost self for living. And it feels so good when it happens. Beyond words.
Here is a beautiful writing from my niece, Katie Lewin, 16 years, a budding Yogini.
Peace is a quiet hum in your chest-
that's how it starts anyway.
the more you let go,
of worry and fear and "what if"
the louder it becomes and the farther it spreads.
When you look at all people and animals
with equal amounts of understanding,
your eyes will smile even if your mouth is not.
When you speak truth,
you will cast a spell on those around you
and your glowing words will become inspiration.
When you hear all and judge no one,
people will come to you for comfort
and you will be flattered.
When you stretch and let fearful imaginings
leave your head,
your body will respond and you will do all
things physical with ease and confidence:
there is no wave too big, or mountain too high.
When you love what you see in the mirror,
however ugly you think you are,
you will obtain a beauty so striking
it will be compared to the moon and sun.
When you are kind,
When you disregard fear,
When you listen to your breath
more than your parents,
When you laugh every laugh
cry every tear
and forgive those who trespass against you,
you will know peace and you will glow
like lightning bugs in summer...
you will live forever.
Have a wonderful week. Check out the new recipe post for sweet potato snack.
