New-ness 05/04/2010

When the same old thing just doesn't seem to be working like it used to, perhaps it is time to make a change.

I have my daily yoga practice and although I change it up I have been feeling out-of-whack or not quite right for some time.  (Something wasn't flowing within myself and I felt there were areas that were stagnating.  Things began to grow within the stagnation that I didn't necessarily want to grow!)

My yoga teachers are in N.M. and I really miss the sessions I had with them. The newness they would help bring to my practice was a gift and although I can bring freshness and life to my practice as well, it really helps to have a great teacher. 

I have found a very special teacher here in the Dallas area; Ricky Tran. He does not teach kundalini yoga, the style of yoga I am familiar with.  Studying with him has kindled a light within. With this light, I am better able to sense a deep understanding that is inside of me. With this light, I am better able to see the path on which I step; gently, lovingly and full of devotion.

This new yogic experience is as profound as that of my initial kundalini yoga class which lit a path that has forever tranformed my life for the better.

I am grateful for my experiences every day. I am grateful for the  teachers I have had.  As I learn through my experiences and as I grow through those travels, I am better able to live wholly and help light a world that can be called many things; cruel, dark, scary, evil.

In darkness there is fear; for fear is bred from ignorance. Holding the breath, one fears what might be right in front of one's face or behind one's back, lurking.

In light, there is breath and with breath comes life; forever seeking to exist, to grow. When strong, life will adapt and exist even in tumultuous times.  Life will find a way.

When I feel stagnant.  When I feel fearful or nervous, I must be strong and find a way.  Change happens and so I, in turn, must change.  Adapt.  This can happen on levels both subtle and gross and everywhere in between. 

It is my hope to always have a teacher.
