A personal letter to a friend...reflecting my deeper thoughts on yoga and life

I was thinking about what you said RE: meeting  people and the up's and down's of life, about your odvious dissapointment and the shallow thing's people say and do. I just know from my own experience in life, love
and yoga so much pain is caused 'cause we try to make thing's happen instead of letting life unfold to us organically in time.

Im not trying to judge you, or arrogantly assume too much about you. Beside's, I've done the same thing sooo many times's!

The point is: i've been doin' yoga for over two year's and so much i got in own way! HOW?  I tried to force my body into different poses and saw it as some kind of competition....but then.. one day i learned to actually let go ,in my mind, in my body and soul.
This led to a personal epiphiny of self realization and self empowerment.Then, my body opened naturally on it's own, in it's own time..when i got my ego out of the way, so many poses became near effortless. I also made huge gains in physical and mental endurance.

Life is like that too, often when we stop trying so hard, let go and let God. Then, good thing's happen. Sometime's the best chance's in life come when were just patiently letting life unfold to us...

Dont know what's gonna happen, and that's ok.When we let go of our desire's they often come to pass.
I just know there's a reason for everything in life. And we cross path's with people for a reason.
think about it....Im just wanted to share what was on my heart, because like my blog, i enjoy sharing what's significant to me..and trust start's somewhere. (I said i was bold. ha ha)


When we try to force the rose to open before it's time we destroy it's beauty and full potential, thus we suffer when we treat our soul's and the soul's of other's the same way...
The mountain alway's bring's a better perspective than the valley, to bring the refereshing of new vision.

Bringing clarity..



Hope this was helpful and encouraging..Brad
