Greetings all! I am taking a break for a while to refocus my energies. My transition into the Fall season has been a bit rough and I am feeling unbalanced. I hope that we all will take the time to center ourselves as we get ready for the cold and heavy changes in the season. In the meantime try some of these Mudras, (gestures or yoga for your hands) for some simple mindfulness. You can also bring more health and peace into your life - and into the world - by reflecting on this mantra for loving kindness and listening to some peaceful music.
May I be free of fear and harm
May I be happy just the way I am
May I be at peace with whatever comes
And may I learn to live gently in the softness of my own heart.
May all my family be free of fear and harm
May they be happy just as they are
May they be at peace with whatever comes
And may they learn to live gently in the softness of their own hearts.
May all beings be free of fear and harm
May we all be happy just the way we are
May we all be at peace with whatever comes
And may we all live gently in the softness of our own hearts.

I know what you mean - I've been feeling pretty unbalanced, too. I hope your break is refreshing. Thanks for the lovely post.

Hi Joanna, awesome blog. I met you today at the GHGH event. I'm the aspiring organic apron designer (;. I wrote a blog about the eco-fashion shown. I posted all the info if you are interested on going. I had a feeling you were a fellow pinay (=
