Earth Day got me thinking.
Spring is here—the birds are chirping, the buds are blooming, the layers are coming off and you can actually feel the pulse in the air. It’s got me thinking about The Law of Giving and Receiving by Deepak Chopra.
When the world’s in bloom, there’s an extra little bounce in my step. I breathe in a bit deeper and tilt my head back while the sun lights up my face. Mama Nature sure is dishing it out, and I relish in the spring and all of its gifts. Sitting under the cherry tree, sippin’ my iced cap the yogi in me asks “what’s my part in it all?”
According to Chopra, “the universe operates through dynamic exchange.” And we’re all a part of it. It’s this exchange of energy that keeps the life force flowing. With every breath taken, each individual body exchanges energy with the body of the universe. This is what keeps the prana, the life force, flowing.
“Stopping the circulation of energy is like stopping the flow of blood.” ~ Deepak Chopra

Maybe you're already familiar with the Law of Giving and Receiving or have read my previous post on this from a while back. In which case I will just leave you with a little gift from me to you.
A poem by Thich Nhat Hanh
Peace is every step.
The shining red sun is my heart.
Each flower smiles with me.
How green, how fresh all that grows.
How cool the wind blows.
Peace is every step
It turns the endless path to joy.
~Peace :)
