KARMA YOGA


The other day, I was feeling pressured to "get all of the things/tasks done before I had to leave the house.  My spouse has been somewhat under the weather, so that added to my list.  I could feel me "gripping" in my body.  Thinking that would not do, plus it wasn't any fun, I decided to practice "Karma yoga."  Everything I did, and was going to do, was in service--to my spouse, to others, to humanity.  What a lovely switch I experienced!  Peaceful, even joyful.  Every time I felt myself tightening, I just remembered to breathe and that I was doing karma yoga.  My tasks were accomplished easily and peacefully.
