Thank you Veterans for your service. ππ½ . #Repost @robertsturman γ»γ»γ» "If Veterans can achieve awareness, transformation, understanding and peace, they can share with the rest of society the realities of war. . And they can teach us how to make peace with ourselves and each other, so we never have to use violence to resolve conflicts again.β β Thich Nhat Hanh. . .

To love your body is a very important thing β I think the health of your mind depends on your being able to love your body.β β Rodney Yee . . I hesitated to post this photo because all I could see was a TINY piece of my 53 year-old belly hanging like a turkey neck. π¦ I thought about first editing my pic through Beauty Plus then, my tight solar plexus raised my awareness about my hypocrisy. I teach about being real and authentic, and living my life with integrity...posting an edited photo because I was hating on my body is the opposite of walking the talk. So instead, I reframed my thoughts and saw a strong yogi, balancing in her happy place, and embraced this pic of my loose belly which is soft, beautiful, and was a warm home to my daughter over 13 years ago. In my menopause years my midriff is taking on a shape of its own, despite my core strength. Iβm worn out seeing my body as anything else besides a temple that serves me well. Thereβs nothing more exhausting than wishing something is different than it is...exactly as it is. I move with strength and mobility AND I have cellulite, stretch marks, strong thighs that rub together, and a strong, jiggly belly; the belly my daughter loves to use as a pillow and drum. ππ€ͺ Itβs a relief to out myself. And, now that I look at this pic with admiration, Iβm amazed how critical Iβve been over my body. I love my body and am grateful for the temple it is. Wonβt you join me and love your body too? ππ§π½ββοΈ . . What do you think? Is your mental state of mind affected by how you view and treat your body? . . #sacredsunday #quoteoftheday #rodneyyee #bodylove #loveyourbody #loveyourself #selflove #acceptance #yoga #mybodyismytemple #loveyourbelly #inquiry #svadhyaya #yogini #naturelover #hawaii @loveyourbellymovementEgo says: βOnce everything falls into place, I will find peace.β Spirit says: βFind peace and everything will fall into place.β - Marianne Williamson . . When I feel small I seek comfort in something bigger than myself...in God, the Holy Spirit, the Universe, in something so beyond my imagination there is no name. Prayers and peace for all those suffering...those displaced by the fires in California, and for anyone hurting from tragedy or illness. 173 miles away from the Paradise, CA wildfires our Bay Area skies are thick and smoky...the flames are making themselves known, far and wide. Life seems incredibly hard sometimes...like impossibly hard...yet no matter what, please keep the faith. Destruction is always followed by creation...by rebirth. My prayers, meditations, and healing vibes for those of you hurting. Thank you to all our brave, warrior firefighters. I pray the fires are extinguished soon.
