Connection
Lately I have been thinking about connection, especially with the past few weeks of turmoil after Hurricane Sandy.
What does it mean to be connected?
Technology has become so imbedded in everyday life that we think about being connected through our phones and the internet. But when the storm hit and power outages shut down or slowed down technology, we were forced to rethink the meaning of connection. People reached out to family, friends and even strangers in need…finding a deeper connection with others that extends beyond cell phones and computers.
What does it feel like to be really connected, to ourselves and to each other?
Connection begins from within and maybe when we have no distractions, no devices to stay connected to the outside world, we can find that true connection that is always there.
Today, I taught a private family yoga session with one of my tutoring clients and her mom.
My dharma talk was about connection and I began with this beautiful poem, which I would like to share with you:

“Like Roots”
Our hands imbibe like roots
so I place them on what is beautiful in this world.
And I fold them in Prayer
And they draw from the Heavens light.
Yoga is a practice of Union, bringing together mind-body-spirit as one.
We can find that connection to ourselves through the physical body and then channel the light within which connects us to the Divine.

Choose Love
Last week my dear friend Alice reminded me about Marianne Williamson’s Return to Love. Alice had given me the book as a birthday present 13 years ago and I had read it, but on her suggestion, I decided to revisit it while on vacation visiting my parents in Florida.
The basic premise of the book is this: Only love is real. Fear is an illusion.
This idea resonates with me because I know it to be true…I have seen it, felt it, experienced it, lived it.
I have been on a quest for love my entire life. I have looked for love outside myself and found that true love comes from inside. Only when you love yourself, can you see love everywhere around you.
Once you are IN LOVE (not with another, but with yourself), fear no longer has a hold on you. CHOOSE LOVE.
I leave you with one of my own poems:
What I do with Fear…
When you feel for someone so much
It increases power, stamina and viagra online stores energy levels naturally. I am aware that the cost of men’s products such as http://seanamic.com/qhse/ viagra 50 mg are really not cheap.

The impact of tinnitus on cheap viagra prices life can be devastating.
that it feels like you are losing control
and the fear creeps in
poisoning the pure emotion
and wants to consume
and wants to overcome
I choose love
Fear is love tainted
Love is fearless.
