| A Rare Total Eclipse and the Miraculous Moment that is NOW |
|
Many people just experienced an exciting period of anticipating, preparing for and viewing the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017.
|
There were continuous news reports and a special NASA website dedicated to the event, that educated us about the science involved. Information disseminated about specific time tables and locations for best viewing led to mass migrations of people to find areas to get the most out of the experience. Constant reminders flooded the news, cautioning us all about the need for properly designed glasses to protect the eyes while reveling in this fantastic event!
The public was fully engaged, and social media was ablaze with photos, videos and stories of remarkable moments and shared reactions.
The enthusiasm surrounding this event was contagious!
Yes, this was a rare, amazing, awe inspiring and miraculous event indeed. It was a 'once in a lifetime', 'not to be missed' experience, and it was rightfully treated as such by all.
Not to take away anything from this amazing phenomenon, I'd like to juxtapose all this understandable and justified attention, excitement and enthusiasm for the total solar eclipse with an opportunity for reflecting on a simple quote from Buddhist Monk and mindfulness meditation teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh:

In the glow of the eclipse experience, I find this simple statement an important reminder and is an expansion of the theme from my last month's newsletter on gratitude.
Imagine if every day brought awe, wonder, celebration and gratitude for the realization and recognition that "All is a miracle."
|
|
May your every step walking on this earth, each and every day, be mindful moments of living fully in gratitude for life itself while reflecting peace and compassion for all.
This is the miracle of mindfulness. This is the healing power of the present moment and living in the now. It is always available! Stop and look!
"Seek and ye shall find."

I have some exciting events coming up in the fall that I want to call to your attention. Please join me for one of these exciting programs.
October 29 - November 3, I will be presenting a weekend retreat at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm in Grass Valley, CA. "Mindful Healing: Curing the Body-Mind by Listening to the Self
." Over the years I've had several people ask me if I ever teach at the Yoga Farm in California... and at long last I will be at this beautiful center of love and healing. Please join me in a weekend of healing and transformation!
November 10th I will be hosted at Copper Beech Institute in West Hartford, CT for a day long retreat, "Mindful Healing: Turning Pain into an Opportunity for Transformation." In this retreat will explore the teachings of the Buddha, mindfulness meditation and compassion practice, and how those elements can come together to facilitate a journey of transformation and awakening, as we face our pain, suffering and difficulties.
I invite you to join me in the Bahamas, at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram and Retreat Center. December 1 - 4, I will offer a program "Mindful Healing: Curing the Body-Mind by Listening to the Self."
This will be a powerful and restorative experience. The Sivananda Yoga Ashram and Retreat Center is a beautiful, healing environment. If you're looking for a way to wind up 2017 and prepare for a healthy, empowered 2018, please join us!
