December 1 - Palabra (Word)

Encapsulate your 2011 in one word. Why that word? What would you like your word to be for 2012? Why?

“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement.” ~Aldous Huxley, The Art of Seeing

2011 was saturated with intention. I decided, in late 2010, that intention is essential: the willingness to try, the meaning to do something. The intention to meditate is far more important than the technique used or the technicalities of what did or didn’t occur during a meditation session. Likewise, the intention to practice yoga with mindfulness & metta is enough. (As long as you actually do it!) And I actually did it! I practiced more regularly and devotedly than ever before. Intentions were manifested!

My word for 2012 is MOVEMENT. Movimiento.  The act or process of moving; especially change of place or position or posture. A tactical or strategic shifting. A series of organized activities working toward an objective.  The vibrant quality in literature that comes from elements that hold a reader's interest. Voiding the bowels. Movement.

Plates are shifting. Energy is in constant motion. I will relocate to the other side of the planet in 2012. I am going to leave Guatemala City and settle in another international city, to be determined, though most likely in the Eastern hemisphere. But no matter where I am, I will continue to devote myself to The Movement: practicing, modeling, spreading, facilitating, teaching, and sharing yoga, creativity & mindfulness! Let's get moving!

“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.” ~Martha Graham
