One of the most beautiful teachings within the Yogic texts is the reminder to engage fully with the world around us.It’s easy to become stagnant in our practices/routines and remain within our comforts. And it’s even easier to feel overwhelmed with daily responsibilities/roles in our fast paces lives, forgetting the nature of our essence.

Both leave us feeling discounted, static and lacking vitality.

Tantra teaches us boundaries to expand and open ourselves to connect in new ways while remaining true to our needs/values.

It acknowledges that every moment is an opportunity to not only live consciously, but to ENJOY living consciously.

We are meant to feel radiate and alive – our faces want to smile, our legs want to dance and our hearts want to beat fast with passion and excitement.

To celebrate is to live in this human embodiment!

And we don’t need permission or to be on vacation to have fun, immerse in pleasure or see beauty.

It’s our birthright to experience fun, pleasure and beauty as often as possible…and our practice is to be non-attached to it…this is how life can become a celebration…even amidst challenges or pain.

Most of the time it’s our human conditioning that gets in the way and blocks us from engaging fully with our-self and the world around us. So relax, shake it up, laugh it off and let yourself go wild.

Let yourself celebrate the small things…don’t wait for a special occasion to do what brings you joy and happiness. Now is the time to enjoy! Break out the fine china, put on the ‘good sheets’ (you know the ones you save just for company), and burn the ‘nice candles’….life is entirely too short to wait for “the good stuff” to celebrate!

Namaste
