Living In The Now

ABOUT ME

Hey there! So here's the skinny: I'm a Yoga Instructor & Reiki Practitioner who starts massage school in June. I LOVE the outdoors, music, hula hooping, reading and meditating. Everyday I do the best I can to live in the Now and enjoy every moment in the moment.

I'm currently using CS to make new friends and to find an apartment to move into on April 1st.

PHILOSOPHY

Life to me is all about exploring the self and the environment I'm living in as well as learning about those around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Om Mani Padme Hum.

Om Gum Ganapatye Namah.

I am THAT.

I am already whole. All the love I desire rests within me.

"The fundamental experience of human suffering is the experience of alienation from the self, from the source -- from God. Unlike your Christian religion, for example, we don't believe the problem is sin, or guilt, or wrongdoing. It's simply misidentification!"

"You don;t know who you are. Who you think you are, you are not."

"We have become exclusively identified with our physical bodies, with our possessions, with our thoughts, with our personalities. We think we're our ideas, our careers, our families, our countries. We live our lives in utter ignorance of the vastness of our real nature, estranged from our true selves. This is the source of our suffering. Ignorance."

"Yoga teaches that the true home of the soul is also beyond time and space, in the eternal now of consciousness."

"ordinary moments of mystic union happen when we're neither grasping at experience nor resisting it."
