Winter Solstice 2013
On the darkest day of the year, we reset our karma by doing the sun salutation, or Surya Namaskar, 108 times. As we salute the sun we light a symbolic fire in our hearts and recognize fire's potential for destruction, and also creation.
Our breath mirrors the natural rhythm of the tide, changing seasons and cycles, birth, youth, maturity and death. The series of peaks an valleys in earth's geography and also a reflection of the contrast between happy and sad, tragedy and humor.
Life is one big giant yin-yang, if you think about it. The early 90s want it back. That was supposed to be funny.
Go set fire to something. Namaste.
