My blog is named Yoga in Blue Jeans because everyday life is enhanced by regular yoga, energy work, and metaphysical practices. The ordinary becomes extraordinary, the random becomes synchronicity, and sometimes the impossible turns into a victory or maybe even a miracle.
As Caroline Myss once said, and I paraphrase: No one wants to be ordinary anymore. Everyone wants to be special. People run from the ordinary. But it's precisely out of the ordinary, the everyday blue-jean-kind-of-life that we find the Technicolor. We really don't have to try too hard. These moments are precious and special to the individual so maybe can't always be conveyed to the collective or tribe with the same affect as if you climbed Mt. Everest. The ordinary is inescapable, unavoidable, and takes up a majority of our life though you'd never know this by scrolling through social media or the pages of magazines. People lie all the time.
Images and an over-emphasis on the visual is a leftover hand-off from humans' reliance on the visual for survival and to get basic needs met. But humans have evolved: for some of us, yes, the visual is cool, but not a priority. It's about feeling, it's about what you're feeling within and underneath the skin. It's about an inner sense of feeling, the subtle feeling that feels "just right" and can come from the most minute, quotidian, everyday interaction or object or moment.
