Transition with Grace

Autumn! My favorite. The transition from winter to spring isn't always a graceful one. The move from light to dark seems jarring. But we can utilize yogic techniques in order to be able to handle the transitions a little more gracefully.


Last week we practiced grounding strongly to keep us steady in the face of change. We will continue our work in being closely linked to the earth and add twists. Twists are all about integration. When we twist we squeeze out the old and outmoded to make room for whatever is headed our way. Stoking the fire of digestion, we become more capable of integration or eliminating. As our ability to discern what is good for us and what isn't grows, twists allow us to make that change; taking into and making a part of us that which serves our growth, while letting pass through us that which holds us back; whatever prevents us from acting in our own best interests.
