In preparation for the upcoming holiday holidays, we did a deep cleaning yesterday. With all the crud removed, I rolled out the red carpet runners to brighten and warm our space. Day by day, we will get more festive.
My favorite aspects of this time of year are the most ancient. Reminders of the cyclic nature of life and staying focused on the light at the darkest times tether me to the meaning of most of our seasonal rituals. Honoring all traditions, yoga embraces those that preceded commercialization.
What traditions do you observe? Are you aware of their deep origins? Ki to Happiness observes the symbolic elements inherent in all Ways.
