Om...

I always feel really good when I walk out of yoga class.  My head is clear and I feel calm.  My yoga instructor, Gemma, has an incredible peace about her and she puts it into each of her classes.  But this morning it was different.  Gemma was saying something that was really meaningful throughout the class.  She was repeating four sentences which captured the idea that I try to share with clients about being peaceful and content.  Just repeating them in her calm voice was impacting me.  I started to worry that I wouldn't be able to say them as well as she was able to say them.  But then I stopped myself from thinking that way because it was interfering with my yoga practice...  

When I opened my eyes after the deep relaxation and sat up, I found a hand written piece of paper next to me.  I thought I was the only one who got it and it was my own special message.  But then I saw that everyone had gotten one.  On the paper were those four sentences:

"May I be filled with loving kindness.
 May I be peaceful with whatever comes.
 May I be free from fear and striving.
 May I be content just as I am."

Such simple words but with so much meaning.  

Thank you, Gemma, for giving me your inspirational words to take with me!!
