Spiritual Happiness May, 2010    

MUDITA

In Sanskrit, there are basically four words for happiness—sukha, santosha, mudita, and ananda—each of which points to a different level of happiness. Together, they constitute a path that leads us to the kind of happiness that really cannot be shaken. In May, we explore mudita or spiritual happiness.

Mudita (Spiritual Happiness)

Explore Mudita in Deeper Flow with Jody Seaborn Friday, May 21, 6:30-8:30 pm!

"The only thing greater than being loved is being Love itself" -Adyashanti

Mudita, or spiritual happiness really becomes possible when our attention goes to Loving Life just as it is, right now.  Luckliy there's never a moment when that is not possible.  This moment right here is the only opportunity for real happiness.  Being alive in this moment is being alive with Love!  Real spiritual happiness doesn't follow whether your yoga class went well, or after meditation was a success, it comes only from inside our own Being.  Spiritual happiness, Joy even...is what we all want because in the depths of what we are, we are Joy. Please celebrate the happiness of your inherent joy together, alone, and in all moments of your life.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

So much gratitude and love to all of you wonderful mothers. You are the most powerful giver of Love. For the love you give to your children now, will be paid forward a thousand times more as they go out into the world expressing Love.

We will be having our regularly scheduled classes on Mother's Day in honor of all mothers. Please join us Sunday morning and bring the kids (3 and older) to Kids Yoga!

Pretty much any mother can find something they would LOVE at Flow.
