Selfless Thoughts In Action

With Spring in the air, there is a feeling of hope and renewal. Plant the seed of Karma for your 2013 Spring. In yoga we believe in an aspect of yoga called "Karma Yoga" . Not just the what comes around goes around concept, but to help others with no expectation of reward or payment. Karma yoga is often understood as a yoga of selfless (altruistic) service. Karma yoga can be as easy and rewarding as giving a hug or smile to someone who looks like they just might need that smile to turn there day around. Selfless acts come in all sizes. Do what feels natural and not forced. Helping out a friend during a hard time, bringing them flowers or homemade soup, holding there hand, just being there emotionally and physically could be enough to get that person over there hump. Buying groceries for someone in line that looks like they are struggling..We have all at sometime in our lives had someone who did something totally unexpected, that changed our day, week,life. Take time out of your busy day, life.. take a moment to perform a selfless act. The rewards will be internal and long lasting more then any materiel satisfaction that is temporary and fleeting. Give it a try , now.
