As world markets collapse, dollars disappear and financial security fears hover in the foreground, this week I offer a simple tip I picked up from Nora Burnett at the Light on Yoga Festival yesterday.

Stability is more important than flexibility.

On one hand, she was referring to a yoga pose.  She said that even if you’re completely flexible, without that foundation and grounding, your pose won’t work. So it is vital to be stable from the beginning and let your flexibility grow out of those roots. It was obvious that she was speaking metaphorically too.

So whatever your situation may be and even if uncertainty and fear bubbles up inside…

Give yourself a moment to stand steady and strong.
Imagine roots growing out of your feet.
Let the ever changing climate simply blow through your leaves
Gently bow and bend with your limbs.
Rustling leaves makes beautiful music.

Happy Week,
Rebecca Arora
