Good day, Steemians! 

It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you down, it's the pebble in your shoe.  --Muhammad Ali

Like stepping into the ocean,
leaning into infinite potential feels at once
exciting, powerful, and overwhelming.
How liberating it is to release definitions
and melt into unrestrained possibility!
Shifting into the unknown can be scary/exhilarating
because...well, it's the unknown and
anything can happen!
Your experience depends on your perspective;
choose wisely.
The magnificent surges of immersion
and emergence, dipping into the flow and
drawing inspiration back to the material world
encourages boldness--bring forth the best of options!
This Steemit sea, vast site of gifts, talents, and abilities
is potential force unleashed, and it is up to us to focus this opportunity.
I am swept away by what this site represents,
and I'm motivated to bring my best every single day
to contribute what I can towards the highest version of this community.
Every day I dismantle what I thought I knew
to make space for prospects that blow
my limited understanding out of the water.
A great big shout out and THANK YOU to the devs and architects of this experiment--
your skills are far beyond mine, yet you've generously
shared your creation so I and all Steemians can partake of your resources.
I bring yoga in thanks.
Yog means "yoke", to harness--
may we join forces for ultimate good,
balance potential and kinetic forces to do work
and move mountains.

This is Mountain Pose

AKA Tadasana in Sanskrit

(tada = mountain, asana = pose/posture)

Mountain pose is stability.

Believe it or not, standing here is a genuine pose,
although it's conscious awareness that bring it to yoga.
The subtleties make it; activation in the legs,
rooting through the feet,
opening in the chest and hands
to receive prana for powering up.
You can do this literally anywhere
without looking like too much of a weirdo,
and it's a great trick to pull out when you need to recharge.

This is a fundamental pose,
the opening posture for
practically every practice,
the start and return of sun salutations.
Establish yourself in the strength of a mountain,
move with that energy,
and return to the pose to complete a cycle of flow.

A moment in mountain is a moment to connect
to the full, unwavering support of the earth
and the unlimited expansiveness of the sky.
You are grounded while extending:
take a moment to remember why you're here
and allow possibilities to unfold.

This is steadiness within infinity,
and you can always return.

How to MOUNTAIN POSE:

• From standing, bring the feet together.
• Build from the ground up--root down through all 4 corners of the feet.
• Engage the thighs, spiraling the muscles towards your midline.
• Pull the navel in to energize the abdomen.
• Roll the shoulders up towards the ears and down the back, opening the chest.
• Turn the thumbs towards the body, palms of the hands open the to the front.
• Bring length to the spin and extend through the crown of the head, chin slightly lifted. 
• Rejoice in the climb, and enjoy the view.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Ta da!
