Off the mat and into the rapids

Gratitude…compassion…surrender…

This mantra was introduced to me by my yoga teacher. I try to keep it in mind each day and live the words as I understand them. Its true meaning however was revealed to me this weekend.

These words are not linear, you do not practice it one after another. It is a mantra that goes around…

Surrender to the moment…listen to nature…allow nature to take you so that you can understand her, revere her and care for her. Ride the rapids with all your best and all your might. Breathe!

Be grateful for the people you have met and relationships you have formed. Be open to new faces and new personalities. Be grateful for the breath of life.

Be compassionate at all times…you will never know when the positive act will be repaid to you.

Gratitude…compassion…surrender…Om.
