SPREAD LOVE & KINDESS

It's critical to take a time each day to express our gratitude for all the good things in our lives as well as the fundamental necessities that people seek, pray for, and hope for.

We have the ability to significantly alter the world if we choose to spread love every day and put the perspective hat on. With that said, did you know that it only takes one person to impact millions and change the world? Also referred to as the collective consciousness or ripple effect. I refer to it as "The Beauty Effect."

Maybe you think you’re just one person and you are, but that’s not all you are. By simply spreading love, you have the power to brighten someone else's day and change the course of their entire life.

Send An Appreciation Message (Gratitude Texts)

In one way or another, everyone wants to feel valued, and practicing this will both develop and improve your relationships and gratitude practice.

This can be to a friend, family member, colleague–anyone. We might not even be aware of the amount of work that those around us do for us. There is probably someone in your life who can offer you emotional support, encouragement, or just a listening ear as you go through life. Everyone has a big impact on your life, therefore it's critical to let them know how much you value them.

Some examples if you need some guidance:

“Thank you for being part of my life and always being there for me no matter what.”

“Today, I found myself smiling and found myself being so grateful for you. I appreciate you being who you are.

Give Someone A Gratitude Call

Whether it takes the shape of a text or a call, the power of appreciation can, depending on the situation, transform someone's day and possibly their lives.

For a moment, think about the receiver. Yes, a phone call allows for a deeper and more intimate connection, but picture yourself getting a call and hearing from someone who just wants to tell you how much they appreciate you—a pure act of love and generosity.

Give Someone A Hug

Hugs may seem like the typical greeting you give to loved ones, but they have much deeper molecular meanings. The neurotransmitter oxytocin, sometimes referred to as the "love hormone," is released during a hug. All a hug can do is make you happier and less stressed.

So go hug someone! (if that they accept it)

Write An Inspiring Note & Leave It Somewhere For Someone To Find

Have you ever seen something inspiring and it puts a smile on your face?

Imagine being the artist or creator behind it. Nobody needs to know who sent it, yet someone the universe directed finds the lovely note "left behind."

You made their day. You put a smile on their face. You inspired someone.

The Universe has this beautiful way of communicating with us; whether it be through a sign we asked for, a guide or simply the exact message we needed to be led to that day. In any case, the recipient is the one who most needs to hear that message right now.

Use your creative expression and share your inspiring message.

This can be a note you leave on a random door at a restaurant.

This can be written on a rock and left at the park.

CRYSTAL OF THE DAY

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

Amid growing scrutiny of its green targets, the EU has laid out plans to reduce emissions by 90% by 2040, with a view of becoming the world’s “first carbon neutral continent”.

The target – a recommendation for the next European Commission (pictured) following elections in June – came as the EU’s climate service said the world had breached the 1.5C warming limit agreed in Paris across an entire year.

“Tackling the climate crisis is a marathon, not a sprint. We need to make sure everyone crosses the finish line and nobody is left behind,” said Wopke Hoekstra, the EU climate commissioner.

His words were likely a reference to recent protests by farmers in Germany over plans to cut diesel subsidies. Those protests have led to other green targets, such as those relating to methane cuts, being dropped from the EU recommendations, much to the dismay of climate groups.

DID YOU KNOW?

Not until the 1840s did we get the first mass-produced valentines.

People started exchanging cards and handwritten letters to both lovers and friends during the 17th century, but it was in the 1840s that the first Valentine's Day cards were mass-produced in the U.S., sold by Esther A. Howland. Known as the "Mother of the American Valentine," Howland is credited with commercializing Valentine's Day cards in America, and she is remembered for her elaborate, crafty cards made with lace and ribbons.

YOGAPEDIA
Dove Pose (Vajra Kapotasana)

What is Dove Pose?

Dove pose, or vajra kapotasana in Sanskrit, is a deep and challenging backbend that tones the spine and expands the chest. From reclining hero pose, the practitioner places their palms near their head and straightens their arms, lifting their thighs and torso from the ground in a deep arch.

Instructions

  • Begin in reclining hero pose.

  • Inhale and reach the arms overhead, place the palms in line with the ears and fingers pointing toward the shoulders.

  • With an exhale, straighten the arms to lift the thighs, torso and head from the floor.

  • On the next exhale, lower the forearms to the floor and hold the toes. Rest the top of the head on the floor.

  • Breathe shallowly while holding the pose.
