Each new day should bring new thoughts and new opportunities to explore - but sometimes just about everything seems to go on hold. A Cloud of Despond comes to rest heavily on my shoulders and I waste the day. This does not happen often; mostly I am glad I am a Yogini and then I know I must find a quiet place, sit cross-legged if I can, and clear my mind by breathing rhythmically.
My gift to you this time is this quote from the Svetasvatara Upanishad. In times of stress I hope these words will help you-
"And when the body is in silent steadiness, breathe rhythmically through the nostrils with peaceful ebbing and flowing of the breath. The chariot of the mind is drawn by wild horses, and these wild horses have to be tamed."
Om Shanti,
Brenda. Please let me have your experiences!

SPRING FEVER!
"Every spring is the only spring - a perpetual astonishment" so someone said! I felt that on Sunday when my sister and brother-in-law arrived early to take me to coffee at Willington Garden Centre. This, anyway, has happy memories for me. I lived at the home of the Yoga for Health Organisation in Bedfordshire for the first six months of my time in this part of the country. I then found a home just over the border in Cambridgeshire but when I qualified as a remedial Yoga teacher, I went back to Ickwell Bury at least once a week to teach. Parties of Yoga students were often taken on an afternoon visit to the Garden Centre at Willington. .......... So my visit on Sunday brought back many happy memories.
However, Spring makes us look forward to the future not back at the past; no matter what you have been through, it is an opportunity to start over again - a resurrection. On Sunday the world looked fresh, clean and beautiful, the hedgerows dressed up in white blossom and the sun beaming down on us.
You may be thinking of giving your life new meaning and direction as well, so no matter what your circumstances are , nature all around you is leading the way to a rebirth
. And there is surely a Yoga class somewhere near to you to give you help and encouragement.
May the Angels protect you;
May the sadness forget you;
May goodness surround you;
And may God always bless you!
Happy Easter!
Namaste ..... Brenda!
