Cupid meets you at the river of bliss?

Ahhhh….the way of love. OHHHH….the power to love.

Ah ha…..the passion of love.

MMMMHHHHmMMMM…the sweetness of love.

Valentine’s day has arrived. The day where expectations rise to the heights of temples, where we may question why our soul mate has not arrived or we are indulged in the fountain of love with our present mate.

It has become a day where we reach out and express our devout love for that someone special who is by our side riding the constant changing merry-go –round of “a relationship”. We finally may hear our partner whisper that all so common three letter word that they rarely express. We are are wanting and needing  romance. This is a universal day that proclaims…Love and be loved. Celebrate your love and allow it to be felt, heard and expressed.

There are some of us who love the ritualistic idea of what a holiday represents. We have had the idea of exactly how we want this day to be spent. We hinted to our mate the perfect gift we may want to be surprised with. We have gone all out and searched for that one thing that will put a smile on our mate’s face and found innovative ways to be dramatically romantic.  Others of you may make a vow of silence, take the day off, stay home watching romantic films and reminisce with friends on the phone about why all your past relationships failed. This particular day may not exist to you, and you tack it up to just another day. But secretly inside you question….”where’s my Valentine?”

Forget about whether you are married, single, casually dating or in a convenient relationship for this month…..Celebrate everything that love means to you.

Reach inside of your soul, meet your yoga cupid and swim in your own personal river of love. Love is a beautiful word with so much meaning. Touch someone’s heart today …..maybe it is your plant, an animal, a co-worker, your child, a stranger, your mate or yourself. Give a heartfelt compliment, a big bear hug, a sweet kiss on the cheek, a piece of chocolate, a card of “why you mean so much to me,” a self written poem, a loving phone call or a secret note starting with “why I love you…”. The smallest, most thoughtful and inexpensive gifts and acts of love may mean the most. When you touch someone else’s heart or spirit you feel your spirit touched just the same….and more.

Make is a priority to do one special thing for yourself today. Your love grows and the lotus flower of your heart blossoms as YOU bathe in your own river of bliss.

The voice of Rumi;

Secret Placess

Lovers find secret places

Inside this violent world

Where they make transactions

With beauty.

Reasons says, Nonsense

I have walked and measured the walls here.

There are no places like that.

Love says, There are.

Reason set up a market

And begins doing business.

Hallaj steps away from the pulit

And climbs the stairs of the gallows..

Lovers feel a truth inside themselves

That rational people keep denying.

It is reasonable to say, Surrender

Is just an idea that keeps people

From leading their lives.

Love responds, No. This thinking

Is what is dangerous.

Using language obscures

What Shams came to give.

Every day the sun rises

Out of low word-clouds

Happy Valentine’s Day..

Loving hugs,

Sara

My Valentine's Day Gift For You

I've been so gratified by the number of people signing up for my upcoming retreat in Costa Rica that I made a special announcement on this weeks yoga marketing teleseminar.

This first ten people who sign up for the retreat will receive a 15 DVD set Harlan and I put together on how to market your yoga business.  The set will retail for $297 but if you make it in to the first 10, I will gift you with one of these sets.

The set is extremely comprehensive.

The number one question I've received about the retreat is: Sara, what does the price include.

The answer is: everything.  It includes transfers from the airport, lodging (which may be shared with another yoga teacher) and all delicious meals.  There are no hidden charges associated with the retreat.

I hope you'll join us at the Restoraflow retreat in Costa Rica.
