yin yoga

Here

in seal pose on my kitchen floor I’m waiting for my own birth and I’m gently reflecting on how all my little worries were resolved and I’m in all moments in-between

our sun unborn and the final marvelous aria of the opera of the planets and the tins to be unpacked from yesterday’s shopping – all happenings all time in this moment

Now

I experienced this during one of Melissa West’s new yin yoga series (free on YouTube): Melissa West: Intermediate Yin Yoga for sleep

our sun

at the

heart of our

solar system, a

yellow dwarf star, a

hot ball of

glowing gases

its

gravity

holds the

solar system

together –

keeping

everything from the

biggest planets to the

smallest particles of debris in

its

orbit

the sun

orbits the

center of the

milky way galaxy,

bringing the

planets,

asteroids,

comets and

other objects

along

connections and

interactions

between

the sun and

earth

drive our

seasons,

ocean currents,

weather,

climate,

radiation belts and

aurorae

the sun

made

life on earth possible,

providing the

warmth and

energy that

forms the

basis of many

food chains

the sun and the

rest of the

solar system

formed from a

giant, rotating cloud of

gas and

dust, a

solar nebula about

4.5

billion

years

ago

our sun accounts for

99.8% of the

mass of the

entire solar system

the sun will

someday

run out of

energy

when

the sun

starts to die, it

will swell so

big that it

will engulf

mercury and venus and

maybe even

earth
