November is here already??? I feel like I was just getting ready for October!

Now that the first holiday is out of the way, it’s time to prepare for the next one. Halloween decorations will be packed away only to be replaced by Thanksgiving prettiness. Although fall in Alaska is long gone, Thanksgiving is such a fun way to extend the the lovely golden hues of changing leaves via decorating the interior of the house.

Now that November is upon us, it’s time to take a moment to reflect upon things for which we are thankful. This month, I challenge you to engage in a simple grounding meditation called “5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” There are many different versions of this meditation. You can do it in bed before you fall asleep, you can sit in your favorite chair, you can even do it while you’re cooking dinner.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Meditation

*Name five things you can see. Go ahead and look around the room. What do you see? Where do your eyes wander while looking for things?

*Name four things you can feel.

*Name three things you can hear right now.

*Name two things you can smell right now.

*Name one good thing about yourself.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to complete this meditation. It won’t take long. Breathe deeply at the end and carry on with your day.

I’d love to see all of you in class this month. We will practice this meditation in class. Please head on over to the Pleasant Valley Community Center, in Two Rivers on most Tuesday’s at 11am. I will bring the equipment. All you need to do is show up. Did I mention that the class is free?

If you and a group of friends would like to host a private gathering which includes yoga, let me know. I can bring everything to your house or business. Those out-of-town guests might enjoy a fun yoga class after a long day of travel.

Have you checked out Alaska Mobile Yoga on Facebook or Instagram yet?

I’m looking forward to seeing you.

Namaste, Tracy
