A Mother's Love

If you have nurtured anything, you are a mother...and this is for you.

A mother's love is one which defies rules of convention,
My mother's love is one that nourishes the truth and lights the way for
potential not yet manifest.

A Mother's love guides you home when lost,
My Mother's love makes her home wherever you are
and guides you within for the breath to flow and soul to rest.

A Mother's love is forever,
My Mother's love is eternal, beyond this realm.

My Mother's love began before my birth and will continue
beyond my time here.
It breathes into my every cell,
reminding me of my strength, my power and my light.

My Mother's love is  a humble love, allowing for the nurturing to flow
back unto to her...Providing me with teachings everyday on how to love deeper.
My Mother is Mother Earth,
and her greatest student is You!

Explore, Breathe, Radiate...Spring has finally arrived!

Spring has officially arrived!! Take this time to connect with nature and allow yourself to be nurtured by mother earth.  Take a walk, play with your child, grandchild or pet, or simply sit in stillness and feel the air against your skin. As you nourish your physical casing through breath and movement, the vastness of the world and universe in which you are apart of is experienced. This process is embodied as a beautiful exchange of love and has the potential to end searching and suffering. In this state of being your beauty comes to life and and the realization that  you are a creature of this earth with flexibility to move with the storms and not against them, resiliency to trust in times when everything around you seems to have faided away as in the winter season and so joyous that when light shines upon your heart, you have no choice but to send it back out like a reflection off the glimmering vibrancy of life within. So put your rubber boots on and step out into this delicious world. Explore it....Breathe it in....Allow its Radiance to Flow!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I feel so honoured to have hosted the first donation based yoga class for Off the Mat into the World. Thank you to all who participated last night; your presence and contribution was very encouraging. May you be blessed in your life with the same love you were able to share in your practice. The next Goddess Series class for the amazon will be hosted on Saturday May 11th, 10 am in the sprit of Mother's day: a dedication to our most sacred mother, Mother Earth. Mark your calendars and spread the word!

Mat Cleaner

So here is the recipe as promised:

1 C Distilled Water
Splash of Vinegar or Witch Hazel (optional)
10-15 drops of Tea Tree Oil (antiseptic)
6-10 drops of Eucalyptus Oil  (or lavender)

Make sure the you are using essential oils, usually to be found in health food stores or speciality aisle.
You may also purchase the cleaner. My fav is from Dusky Leaf, a Canadian Company that offers environmentally responsible options for most of their products http://duskyleaf.ca

A second option is to simply mix 2 tsp of tee tree oil and 2 Cups of water and placed in a spray bottle. This mixture can also be used as a multi purpose cleaner around the house.

Enjoy!
