Unsupported Side Angle Pose with shoulder hug & poem from Pathos.

With everything going on, where do we find stillness and peace? Is it beyond things, deep within things, or between things, when we balance our opposites? 🧡

Warrior Pose & poem from Lake Wasdale

Peacefulness, compassion and wisdom apply to politics and religion. However, the biggest influence I can have over others is through my own behaviour, which is also the only part of the universe I can control 🧡

Tree Pose & poem at Buckfastleigh 🤸‍♀️

For our focus to become flow, it needs to include our body, mind, heart, soul and spirit, bringing all our being to bear on what we’re doing. 🧡

Who am I?

A body, a mind, a set of feelings, a subtle energy, a spiritual flow, or a rich multidimensional being that surpasses what science and theology can trap in box? 🧡

Crescent Moon Yoga Flow & poem

Life circles round
But peace can be found
In the centre of the wheel
And beyond sights and sounds

We can find what we seek by going within or by going beyond ourselves. Within us and beyond us the One abides!

Warrior Flow with Elbow Grab from Kephalonia

Some control
Of body and mind
Helps our heart and soul
To shine!

Our body and minds are resilient but subtle instruments. When we find the right balance of activity and rest, focus and flow, our soul can shine! 🧡

Kneeling Yoga Flow from Kefalonia

Is life flow
Or is it still
Or is our centre
Within the wheel

At yoga we practice stillness within movement through balance in poses and movement within stillness through inner buoyancy in meditation and relaxation 🧡

#yoga #wisdom #stillness

[Stephen Webster @lightholistics]

Does strength come from our body
Or is it from our heart
Or is it from the universe
Of which we are a part

Yoga starts by controlling the body with the mind. Then it becomes an uplifting experience. Then we discover that personal experience is impersonal, uniting all 🧡

@TheNewsAgents @wesstreeting @lewis_goodall Great interview. Wes Streeting positively inspiring. However Newsagents disappointed by your advert for Uber that misleadingly stated Uber drivers are earning minimum wage. They only earn minimum wage whilst they have a job. Whilst waiting for a job they earn nothing!

Make an effort
Concentrate
Then relax
And radiate

Here I am in a one-legged squat variation from my recent trip to Kefalonia.

In yoga we use our body (making an effort) to change our mind (concentrate), to open our heart (radiate). 🙏🔥🧡🙏

Half Moon Pose variation and poem from the Lake District

Noise is a nice distraction, but silence helps us find direction 🙏🔥🧡🔥🙏

[Stephen Webster @lightholistics]

Focus, flow
Float, fly
Yoga
Can lift us high!

Our posture can lift us up. Our breath flows down. Our heart absorbs and radiates light and life from all around 🧡

Side Plank variation from Lake Wasdale

Wisdom comes from quiet moments, when we take a deep breath, and sense the miracles unfolding around us, which our heart feels, our mind sees and our body puts into action. 🧡

Twisted Boat Pose & Poem from retreat at Buckfast.

Our heart & soul can sense vast meanings and inspiration. Our mind can turn that into a plan. Our body puts it into action. Then the universe gives us feedback. Without body, mind & soul there is no manifestation 🧡

Plough Pose and Poem from Wales

It all starts with how we feel about ourselves. Love your neighbour as yourself only works if you love yourself. The self we love in yoga is not the ego. It’s the spirit of goodness that rises from the ocean of being that religions call God. 🧡

[Stephen Webster @lightholistics]

Warrior Flow variations from Lake Wasdale.

Everything is moving
But everyone is still
We are the one who’s watching
While our body moves at will.

We can see the trauma, hear the trauma and feel the trauma but not get caught up in it! 🧡

Camel Pose and Poem from Kefalonia

The world outside, with all it’s entropy and brokenness, is naturally designed to remind us to look within, where universes of meaning await to be revealed through the subtle awareness of the heart - our refined feeling sense. 🧡
