Learn Chair Flow Yoga

Time is precious we think. How about our body and mind? Is that as precious to us as time?

In these days of great change we may be active rushing from appointments, work, school, and home to dinner. Once fed and comfy we may have a hard time with stiffness getting off the couch at night to get a snack. We go to bed and may have thoughts racing faster than our sleep can take hold of us. The thoughts may win and we toss and turn.

Getting dressed changes over the years. Pants and underwear seem to take a bit more effort in stretching to reach the leg holes. Our breathing is squeezed and tight as we bend forward to put on our socks. Putting on our shoes may require a bit more struggle to reach the laces.

 How we feel during these simple and necessary daily routines are great indicators of our wellness and well-being.


Lube and tune your body and mind

If you feel you would like to lubricate your joints, take in more healing oxygen, and gain more mobility then I have the answer for you and me. Chair Flow Yoga by John Wylie. It is easy and fun and complete. I did the first 20 minutes which was head, neck and some shoulders. I vowed to do the next 20 minutes the next day and had so much enjoyment doing the video I finished the next 40 minutes. My body felt great and more alive. I fed my body with oxygen and allowed the oxygen to flow into each and every muscle as I breathed in and out, moved, and stretched.

No need to overdo or over stretch. This is a program you can easily progress as you practice.

Bookmark this video so you can practice these wonderful movements. Give yourself time to adjust to moving the muscles that may be stiff. This discourages many people. With repetition and care not to go overboard, you can have a wonderful experience.

Thanks to John Wylie for making this available to us.

The Train Of Life Author Unknown

Gregg Braden had this on his Facebook Page and I would like to share it with you. The opening paragraph is from him and the beautiful analogy of life " The Train of Life " continues on.

"The Train of Life

"This is beautiful, and so expertly explained.................
"To my family, and friends
...

"Life is like a journey on a train... With its stations... With
changes of routes... And with accidents! At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
"As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they
will be significant I.e. Our siblings, friends, children, and even the
love of our life. Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize that they vacated their seats! Which is very sad when you think about it.
"This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all the passengers... requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
"The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we
ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way - love,
forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this
because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty -- we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
"I wish you a joyful journey this year on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, give thanks for the
journey!
"Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my
train!"
