The Power of Love!

It was this time last year that I had decided I would try yoga. I am naturally very Zen like but I thought it would help to keep myself centered. Kari was staying with us and we would talk for hours every night....I enjoyed our conversations. Even though it feels good to help others, it can drain the energy supply a bit....
  I bought a DVD and set out to give it a try. There was a TV in Anthony's bedroom so I cleared an area to  put down my yoga mat, changed into workout clothes and hit the pay button. I did the warm up and was getting into the routine when Anthony came in and took a look at the girls on the DVD and said to me "Mamma..you have to take your shirt off!".....of course the girls on the DVD had the little exercise bra tops while I had that but with a t-shirt over top!......I get little man to go and spend some time with Daddy so that I can finish my routine...I do a few more moves and then I hear the door open again.....in runs Kari..she jumps on Anthony's bed...she was excited to talk about her day. I listened for a bit and then I looked at her and said "Kari.....I love you...but this is Yoga...we don't chat through Yoga..we'll talk later O.K" She smiled that big beautiful smile and left me to my Yoga. It's been a while since I have hit that play button but maybe it's time to bring it back.....


A Chakra is one of the seven centres of spiritual energy in the human body. I researched the 4th Chakra and this is what I found:


The 4th Chakra is the central power house of the human energy system. The middle chakra, it mediates between the body and spirit and determines their health and strength. This chakra embodies the spiritual lesson that teaches us how to act out of love and compassion and recognise that the most powerful energy we have is love!  ~Love is Divine Power~ Our own hearts are designed to express beauty, compassion, forgiveness and love. More than any other chakra, the fourth represents our capacity to ~Let Go and Let ~God~ With it's energy we accept our personal emotional challenges as extensions of a divine plan. Once we let go of the pain and stop questioning, we can reach tranquility.  In order to achieve inner peace we have to embrace the healing energy of forgiveness.


Primary Strengths of the 4th Chakra: Love, forgiveness, compassion, dedication, inspiration, hope, trust, and the ability to heal oneself and others.


We are not born fluent in love but spend our life learning about it. It's energy is pure power. We are as attracted to love as we are intimidated by it. We are motivated by love, controlled by it, inspired by it, healed by it and destroyed by it. Love is the fuel of our physical and spiritual bodies. Each of life's challenges is a lesson in some aspect of love.


Sounds simple! yet can be so complicated. Our spirits are precious parts of our being......

Close your eyes and escape for a few minutes....all I can say is WOW!

Free to Soar!

 One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

 ~ Helen Keller

I believe that everyone has a destination to which they are trying to soar to. I can picture how I want my life to be....but I am not always sure of how to get to it. It's a place where positives outweigh negatives, laughter is louder than anger, a smile is easier than a frown and kindness is everyone's top priority. Sounds too good to be true...but it is in my thoughts and my dreams.

My best friend has nicknamed me "Polly Positive" and I truly take that as a compliment!....My glasses are rose colored and sometimes I don't see things the way others do but wouldn't it be nice if life could be that way. I am learning that the struggles that life puts in our paths are put there to make us stronger. 

I love quotes and want to share a few:

  That was rough.... Thing to do now is try and forget it.... I guess I don't quite mean that.  It's not a thing you can forget.  Maybe not even a thing you want to forget.... Life's like that sometimes... Now and then for no good reason a man can figure out, life will just haul off and knock him flat, slam him agin' the ground so hard it seems like all his insides is busted.  But it's not all like that.  A lot of it's mighty fine, and you can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad.  That makes it all bad.... Sure, I know - sayin' it's one thing and feelin' it's another.  But I'll tell you a trick that's sometimes a big help.  When you start lookin' around for something good to take the place of the bad, as a general rule you can find it.  ~From the movie Old Yeller 

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.  ~John Vance Cheney

 When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.  ~Author Unknown

 I expect to pass through life but once.  If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.  ~William Penn

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.  ~Steven Kloves, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (movie)
