Daily Affirmation

This year I have the calendar by Louise Hay with daily affirmations – I Can Do It 2014 Calendar.
I received the calendar from some of my loyal yoga students. Thank you very much 🙂
Of course some affirmations speak more to me than others, or maybe the ones I just flip through could actually be what I need to hear that day ……
Today I really needed to hear and read this:  “All is well. I have time for everything I need to do.” It made me feel calm and relaxed.

During the Year I will post more of these daily affirmations.

Meditation

Beautiful wisdom from Swami Sivananda. The following quote is from his book “Concentration and Meditation”. Page 88:

“Just as salt melts in water, so also the Sattvic mind melts in silence, during meditation, in Brahman, its Adhishthana (substratum).”
