Bonnie Presents! |
|
A library of
Bonnie's presentations.
 Are
you happy with your thoughts and feeling? If
not, choose to change how you feel? We all
make choices. When you wake up in the
morning do you jump out of bed in
anticipation of a great day or do you hide
under the covers hoping that nobody will
miss you? Make a choice to be thankful for
every day that you are able to walk on this
earth. Living a life of gratitude will
positively impact your life. When you feel
out of sorts, instead of taking it out on
people around you, sit quietly and ask
yourself what is going on. Remember, you
can’t control others and oftentimes you
can’t control the situation, however you can
control your reactions to them.

Yoga for Health |
|
Yoga means to
“yoke” or join together the mind, body and
spirit. Through the practice of yoga, we
become more aware of ourselves as well as
the world around us. Yoga consists of
practicing poses or postures that bring
balance into the body. Through the breath,
we are able to calm the mind, release
tension from the body and settle
“unsettling”emotions.
Think of the conscious mind as the ocean
with lots of agitation, waves of thoughts,
concerns and conflict. The deeper you can go
below the surface, the more peace and calm
you will find. When we perform yoga poses,
our awareness is in the present moment. Easy
poses allow us to explore the movement of
the body and how we connect with our minds
and bodies. More difficult poses teach us
that through concentration and focus on the
breath, we can find comfort even in the most
challenging moments of our lives.
The physicality of Yoga allows us to then
sit quietly and practice mindfulness
meditation; just watching the body, watching
our thoughts and refining the practice of
being in the present moment. And through
this discipline, science has shown a
positive relationship between Yoga and
Health. When we breathe deeply and
consciously, the blood pressure lowers, the
heart beats slower and tension is released
from the muscles. Yoga has been shown to
decrease pain and improve our sense of
wellbeing.
“ As long as
you do not live totally in the body,
you do
not live totally in the Self.”
- B.K.S. Iyengar

Wellness |

 The
key to wellness is to know your body so
well, that at any given time, you can give
yourself what you need. Imagine if you wore
a shirt and never washed it. Eventually,
when you did, it would be very difficult to
get it completely clean. Your body is the
same way. If you ignore what’s happening in
your body, then by the time you “tune in” it
might be more difficult to make positive
changes than if you had taken care of
“issues” as they arose. Many of us don’t
really pay attention to our bodies until
they give us pain. Pain is our bodies’ way
of communicating with us. It is our choice
whether or not we listen!
So, make it a practice, every day, to tune
into your body, if even for just a few
minutes and ask yourself, “ How can I serve
you today?” Especially if you are not
feeling well, ask yourself, “ What are you
trying to tell me?” Sit quietly and notice
what comes up for you. Listen to your
thoughts, your feelings, your ideas. Know
that you are not your body, you are not your
thoughts, you are not your feelings. Be the
objective observer of your life.
Think of your body as a vehicle to take you
through this lifetime. Have you been giving
it more gas (food) than it needs? Are you
giving it enough running time to keep your
battery charged? Do you keep it clean inside
and out? Do you appreciate its reliability?
“It is proper to doubt. Do not be led by
holy scriptures, or by mere logic or
inference, or by appearances, or by the
authority of religious leaders. But when you
realize that something is unwholesome and
bad for you, give it up. And when you
realize that something is wholesome and good
for you, do it.”
- Buddha

 When
we talk about fitness, we are referring to
not just the physical, but also the mental,
emotional and spiritual realms. We need to
exercise our bodies, our minds and belief
systems in order to achieve balance and a
state of wellness.
“ Our task
must be to free ourselves from our prison by
widening our circle of compassion to embrace
all humanity and the whole of nature in it’s
beauty.”
- Albert Einstein
