Santosha

Santosha is the practice of relaxing into life. Realizing that there will always be ups and downs in life. Like the Chinese say, “10,000 joys, 10,000 sorrrows”. Accepting that chaos can interrupt even the greatest effort to “balance” our lives, we don’t have a choice in that. However, we do have a choice in how we respond or react to life’s disruptions. Really trusting that all is unfolding perfectly; and, that everything that happens offers a life experience for deepening our awareness and understanding. Flowing through life with gratitude, appreciation and trust, so that we can allow ourselves to be more relaxed, more present, and, therefore, more content.
