One of my very best friends told me once that it takes only a twenty minute outing with your children to shift the energy of the whole day.  She said that when her kids were little (she has four), when she would notice that she was sweeping the kitchen floor for the third time that day, she would put everything down and say, “That’s it!  We’re going out”

“Where?” her little ones would ask.

“I don’t know–anywhere,” she’d reply.

Today when you find yourself in that place–whether you’re at home with your kiddos or at work or at school solo–spinning your wheels and disconnected from your Prana, STOP.  Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out, and go to a park.  Even for five minutes.  Maybe just in your mind, if you can’t leave the building.  But go.  And watch everything shift.  Energetically.  And that’s where all creation begins.

Have the best day ever!

Namaste!

“Life is a flash of lightning in the dark of night. It is a brief time of tremendous potential.”

Life is a great big canvas.  Throw all the paint on it that you can.

I’m a big believer in this and so I’ve always got somethin’ cookin’.  Literally and figuratively.  And my Spirit loves this.

When I walk into our kitchen after teaching the daily pre-dawn class at Prana Newton (4:30 am class–see you there!), I put on pot of water to make yerba matte tea (my fave), a pot of coffee, breakfast for the kiddos, and breakfast for Philippe and me.

After I make my tea (and sweeten it with Just Like Sugar–my fave too–get it at Vitacost.com), I boil some more water for hot chocolate.  I love to have several hot drinks available at once, just for fun.  Because it’s all about fun!  We all need to lighten up, laugh more, and appreciate more, because all is well.  Hot chocolate and coffee and tea will help you do this….and it’s so simple.

When I make dinner for our family of 7, it’s no different–I always have about ten things goin’ at once.  And then we have a big smorgasbord to choose from–again, for fun.

This is a metaphor for my life.  I always have a bunch of *fun* balls in the air–balls that don’t feel like work but are things that I love–and then the Universe lines em up as they should be.  They happen if and when they should, and all is well.

You’re a super-person and you do this too–we all do–so pat yourself on the back for doing so and enjoy the fullness of your time on this planet.  This is it!  The only moment we have is now so enjoy it–this is your life.

Have the best day ever!

Namaste!

Super-Mom of the Month

Super-mom Jen Murray:
I am so grateful to be a mom to twins Laney and Danny(10) and my youngest Jake(6).  My children have taught me what unconditional love truly is. Being a mom has brought so much joy to my life. As I help and watch them grow, they in turn help me grow!
  Constantly growing and changing I decided last year after practicing yoga for some years to do a teacher training program through Prana Power Yoga.  The benefits that I gained from practicing has helped me get through so much that I wanted to share that with others.  Now I am able to do just that.  Since graduating in April 2012, I immediately started teaching and sharing my love for yoga and all its benefits.  Through our own breath we can self soothe.  It sounds easy yet we are all faced with this “simple” challenge.
Loving what you do and being able to do what you love is a true gift.  My family and I benefit from this.  My kids notice a difference….especially my very intuitive Laney who always keeps me in check.   When I told Laney I was writing this blog for Super-Mom.  I read her what I wrote and she said “ You should put in that you yell at your kids.” Ha….I chuckled at her honest response and said you’re right.  I do yell at my kids when necessary sometimes even when its not necessary.  I also love them unconditionally and continue to work on loving myself unconditionally even if I yell at my kids ;)
I will continue to live my life the best that I can, making mistake and perfecting things as I go but always doing my best. I feel honored to be a part of such an amazing community that I found through yoga.  Forever thankful for my children, my family, and my yoga.    Without them all I would not be able to feel so grounded, supported, and loved.
