In Ayurveda, which is a sister ' science' to Yoga, there are the properties and functions of the five elements to be taken account of in our general wellbeing. These five elements are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. My ears lately have been giving me trouble with inflammation and wax, and some loss of hearing. Hearing is one of the functions of the element of Space' For our health and wellbeing we need a perfect balance between the five elements,, both in quantity and quality.
So, I think I need to go out more and find space and air in the countryside ..... or, the alternative, according to Thaddeus Golas, is to :-
"Love it the way it is!
The way you see the world
depends entirely
on your own vibration.
When your vibration changes
the whole world
will look different."
Give serious attention to your wellbeing. We have only one life so live it well!
Brenda Namaste!

Divine Beauty!
I have just come from an Art Exhibition in the village next to Ickwell Bury, where I did my Yoga training and then worked as a Special Needs Yoga Teacher. The villagers were so friendly and it took me back in time to those happy days spent with my Yoga friends. Back at home, I reflect on the thought that some things are everlasting; year after year they give you the inspiration you need for good living. I am now at home, where I look across meadow and park to the river - just a glimpse of it in summer, and so I give you a quote from "Divine Beauty" by John O'Donohue. You, too, can seek the peace and tranquillity that nature - and Yoga - bring to me.
"The grace of a river is a reminder of how nature seeks elegance and achieves immense beauty of cohesion and balance. A river blends music of movement with an enduring and accompanying depth of stillness. Again its journey is always out of silence, and this silence dwells deep in the river too. If only our lives could achieve, or indeed allow, such grace and elegance. If we could but find a rhythm of being which could balance a contemplative grace, a poetry of motion and an accompanying stillness and silence, our pilgrimage through this world would flow in beauty through the most ragged and forsaken heartlands of confusion and dishevelment."
If you are seeking a rhythm of being which escapes you at the moment, then consider Yoga. If you contact me on this site, I will offer you what help I can to do this. Read my Profile for my qualifications!
Namaste! Brenda.
