mOmentOm yOga. . . steady, cOmfy, happy, yOga. . .

As mOmentOm yOga and I go into our transitions now and into December, many realisations are ripening. I come to experience many things that I thought I understood but really grasped only intellectually before. . . like what it really means to take on the challenge of life without turning away and what it means to truly let go of expectations of desired outcomes of our strife -- what it means is that we live realistically and we live in genuine freedom. I am grateful for the experience and to all of you who have made it possible, and thankful for your continued support so that mOmentOm yOga can continue to bring such realisations into others' lives. From what I've seen -- from the touching emails I've received, and yogis who are continuing to renew your class packages and sign up new friends even in the recent weeks which is going into the festive period low season -- I believe this is already happening more and more.

Today I read again Master Sheng Yen's (a modern Zen Master) "108 Paths to Liberation" (available as a free distribution leaflet at mOmentOm yOga) and his words nicely sum up what I realised:

To take on anything, one must first be able to let go. One is truly free who can take on and let go of anything in peace.

Know yourself and others, and the ways of the world, so as to have a peaceful body and mind. Recognize, cherish, and nurture your blessings, and seize every chance to be of service.

For those who can take things on and let them go in peace, every year is an auspicious year. For those who can sow with wisdom the seeds of blessings, every day is a good day.
