hollyrae, eduyogi

via Speak mindfully.

It’s the second day of Deepak and Oprah’s 21 Day Meditation Challenge and today we are invited to find openness to the outside world by looking more closely at the universe inside.

Today’s Centering Thought: Balance is my true nature.

Our Sanskrit mantra: Yum, Yum, Yum Repeating “Yum” enlivens the heart chakra

I enjoyed this meditation. It opened my heart and gave me time to reflect on finding balance as it relates to the ‘highest self’ and ‘perfect health.’ If gratitude is the food of the heart, passion is the drink. I loved how Deepak incorporated the concepts of drive, instinct and Ayurveda.

As a self-called eduyogi, my intention is to celebrate the connections between mindfulness and learning so I can better be in ‘perfect health’ – in tune with the most auspicious possibilities for my path and my service, in work and life.

Balance is a concept that can be hard to find in institutions, organizations, teams and … even yoga classes!

Here’s a tweet that gave me an opportunity to reflect on finding balance (opening the heart chakra) of your organization or team.

Enjoy
