Grace & Gratitude
Thanksgiving Week Schedule & Happenings at LI Kula Yoga
(The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali)
2.42 From an attitude of contentment (santosha), unexcelled happiness, mental comfort, joy, and satisfaction is obtained.
Santoshaath anuttamah sukha labhah
संतोषातनुत्तमस्सुखलाभः ॥४२॥
Reflecting on Santosha & Gratitude
Santosha is the second Niyama (Ethical Observance) in yogic philosophy. Santosha basically means contentment and on a much deeper level it means being content with what you have and what you don't have. In other words, Santosha reminds us to see the good in all situations, especially when things in our lives may appear to be less than great. Practicing Santosha aligns beautifully with Gratitude because when we remember that we have so much to be grateful for, our "lens" changes and we see that our lives are filled with so much Beauty & Grace. Although, practicing Santosha or the Attitude of Gratitude is recommended to be practiced on a daily basis, lately this practice seems to be more important now, more than ever. I believe that the time has come for us to see that all is NOT lost and collectively we need to come together and see the LIGHT and GOOD in our lives. You may be surprised by all the good & all the beauty there is in the world:-)
LI Kula Yoga would like to wish you and your family a very Happy & Peaceful Thanksgiving!!
With Peace, Light & LOVE,
Desiree Sparrow, Program Director & Your Friends at LI Kula Yoga
