For those who have come to grow, the whole world is a garden. For those who have come to learn, the whole world is a university. For those who have come to know God, the whole world is a prayer mat. — M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
Relax, and take this in before you practice today. Breathe into these words. this idea. Feel the difference. Most of the time, when I come to the mat, the whole world is a place to confirm my low self-esteem. I come to the mat to strive, to control, to win. Coming to the mat to win, I lose. What if I came to the mat to grow, to learn, to know God? — Rolf Gates, Meditations from the Mat

What loving meditative thoughts for today…beautiful mat…
My purple yoga mat is my best friend. It knows me, my insecurities, my weaknesses.
It helps me and supports me and cheers for me in my morning yoga practice.
