As the summer approaches, and the days get longer, I am reminded of how grateful I am for the sunshine. The sun now sets at around 8:00pm and that gives us and our beans more time to be outside playing, rather than inside on the couch. Such a wonderful thing!
Each day in our Yogi Beans classes, we complete our Sun Salutations. This helps our beans begin to show their appreciation for the sun and think about why we are thankful for it … the warmth it gives us, the light it shines on us, and the energy and life that the sun gives to the earth so graciously.
“Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, “you owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.” ~Hafiz of Shiraz
The sun never asks for anything in return. It just gives to the earth all that it is capable of. This can help us to teach our beans about giving, rather than receiving. The act of giving can make us feel just as good – or even better – than getting something in return. We can light up our own lives by being gracious and giving to those in need.
Have a beautiful day and enjoy the sunshine!
