ThanksGIVING & ThanksLIVING

Heart Soul Mind Yoga Podcast

Have you considered the difference between thanksGIVING and thanksLIVING? Thanksgiving has to come before thanksLIVING which is why we started our practice by meditating on the goodness that God has provided. That flow of yoga poses that we just practiced were specifically chosen because they all involve our hands in the air, representing the vertical relationship that we have with God. Representing us standing, arms high, receiving & saying thanks for His gifts. ThanksLIVING is the act of receiving the gifts from Him and then extending our arms out horizontally, to those horizontal relationships...the relationships we have here on earth. ThanksLIVING is taking that grace, peace, hope, forgiveness, life, love, steadfastness, and living those out daily to those with whom we come into contact.
