How do you know when you feel happy? Is it a feeling in your mind? Does your breath feel even and smooth? Is it when your smile is authentic? As August begins, we see the beauty of summer continue. This past week I did some personal reflection on this time of year. Summer has always been the time of year when I feel most connected with my truest self. The hot days, the warm evenings, and from time to time the cooler breeze that brings a welcomed change after a storm; it brings me feelings of contentment.
Journaling and Meditation Ideas: What has brought you happiness this summer?
Yoga Poses to Add To Your Practice This Week:
- Easy Pose (Sukasana): feel at peace and explore your thoughts on happiness.
- Upward Salute: (Urdhva Hastasana): bring energy into the body, gaze up, and offer yourself a smile.
- Child’s Pose: (Balasana): find ease, take your gaze inward, and rest.
- Waterfall Pose: a lovely release, a letting go, and revitalizing the continues flow within our bodies.
- Restorative Fish Pose (Matsyasana): bring in a sense of harmony and balance with soft stretch of the front body.
