Hello, greetings, saludos, nuedi (Guna greeting)!
I hope this finds you happy and healthy. I know “happy” might be a bit of a stretch depending on your political stance and country of residence. I am not much for politics, nor do I ever post political materials. . . however. . . being an American I cannot ignore the turbulence going on in my country right now. Regardless of your stance, there seems to be a general feeling of anxiety and discontent in the U.S. right now. Transitions can be hard enough as it is, and many people appear to be dreading the current one more than usual.
This being said, it is more important than ever to slow down, search within and find peace, openness, gratitude, and love. When these are tapped into on the inside, there grows the freedom and willingness to spread them to the outside. These qualities are already there, waiting for you to discover them. The more individuals who practice this, the better we will all be! We could all use to deepen our breaths. In fact, treat yourself and take the deepest breath that you’ve taken all day. . . go on, do it. Aaaah, don’t you feel better already?
There are also great benefits to stepping outside of the situation (and the U.S.) to gain a fresh and clear perspective, while immersing yourself in a serene, happy and healthy environment. What better place than a tranquil yoga retreat and tropical paradise?! I can’t think of anywhere more amazing (because sea kayaking in Alaska is really cold this time of year. Brrrr:). The combination of yoga, massage, sea kayaking, white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and lounging in a hammock as it’s gently swayed by a warm tropical breeze, will do wonders for your body, mind and spirit.
I encourage you to take a deep breath (again and again and again) and choose to do something good for yourself (like book this retreat!), so that your love and light may grow within and shine on others. Follow the links for specific retreat details and costs. We are offering an early-bird special if you book by December 6th, which is right around the corner.
I send love and peace to you all. . . no matter your political stance.
