Holy Wholly Yoga and The Body Faithful

So many of us, so much of the time, do not consider our bodies as sacred vehicles that carry us through our days and tasks and loves and hurts and sights and sounds and smells and emotions. One of the best things yoga does is bring you right into your body, right in touch with it, right NOW. You become AWARE of how it feels to do a triangle pose and be AMAZED at how your legs hold you up as you MOVE some parts of your body and keeps others STILL and FIRM.

I thought about this “blessing” that yoga brings to the human body when I ran across this lovely poem. May yoga allow you to SEE and FEEL your faithful body. May yoga bring you back in touch with your senses so they can bring you HOME. May one day while in the midst of a yoga pose you FALL OVER with JOY as you UNDERSTAND the POSSIBILITIES in your PRESENCE. HERE. NOW.

A Blessing for the Senses
– John O’Donohue, from  “Anam Cara”

May your body be blessed.
May you realize that your body is a faithful and beautiful friend of your soul.
And may you be peaceful and joyful and recognize that your senses are sacred thresholds.
May you realize that holiness is mindful, gazing, feeling, hearing, and touching.
May your senses gather you and bring you home.
May your senses always enable you to celebrate the universe and the mystery
and possibilities in your presence here.
May the Eros of the Earth bless you.
