#yogaforhope

Thomas Keating redefined hope for me. Hope to me, used to seem like something far off, it always seemed to create in me a sense of anxiety. "If I have hope that things could be better, than why don't I just make them better now?!" This idea of hope, though, calls me to slow down, relax, and wait. Three things I hate. Haha. This version of hope doesn't put unnecessary things on me, it asks me to let things unfold instead of tearing into them like a kid on Christmas morning. I still have trouble with this, but I like it. It feels more real, more right, like I'm on the right track. So I'm working on my patience, and putting it into action. • • • #yoga #realyoga #yogaforhope #patience #contemplative #contemplativechristian #thomaskeating #queerchristian #queeringprayer #faithfullylgbt #queerenneagram #enneagram #queer #queeryoga #quote #learn #changeyourmind #action #contemplativeaction

Day 20 - Fallen Triangle. #yogaforhope This pose def throws a lot of weight onto my wrist & it’s hard to maintain a steady hold sometimes. Doing this pose during a morning routine would probably be the best medicine for me. Saying farewell to the oasis away from home… For now. (at Great Ocean Rd, Apollo Bay)

So this is me on #day3 of #yogaforhope in Adho Mukha Svanasana aka Downward Dog. It's unbelievable how bending my body in all those different shapes actually helps my mind to escape negative vibes. This is a great act of love towards my self considering the dark sea I've let myself drown in, and though I still find hard to forgive my self for it, when i focus on my breath and the beat of the heart in my chest I always manage to find a reason good enough to let go. In this way I remind myself that I am so much more than my condition, I am a strong mind and a vibrant soul and for it I should always be grateful. 🌗#mentalhealthawarenessmonth @hopefortheday
