?Rise & Shine? SUNDAY #SOUL SESSION Integrated models of #wellness talk of the integration of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Life isn't always easy, but there is a certain strength that comes when things are hard (if you acknowledged them, if you face them head on, if you evolve from them, rather than avoiding, disconnecting, and consequently disempowering yourself) - a lot like in #asana, if we keep working to do a posture properly our bodies learn it, where we find shortcuts we cheat ourselves of the development of our power. Weekends seem to give us a bit more time to reflect on our-greater-selves (beyond the routine) and a chance to invest in our life, in our own well-being. Today I'm going to focus my energies on connection (most specifically with myself, with my emotions, with my body, and with my spirit - #yoga), and this is the perfect #asana for it. Utthia Trikonasana (#Triangle - #connection. #balance.) Utthia = extend. to reach to. to reach up. focusing on the heavens (with a strong connection to the earth in your legs, so don't worry about reaching down with that arm... focus on opening that heart up! #love) Tri = three. trinity. body, mind, spirit. A-U-M. We need to connect to the earth and the sky. We face our dark to truly see our light ? "That which is below is also that which is above." And it is the perfect Sunday for it! by Mr. @peter_van_alphen - mucho thank you! #lovemydharmabums @dharmabumsactive
