Humm....it seems that this blog (for the moment anyway!) is about wanting. I've been wanting to take good care of this body. I've been wanting to settle down here in Virginia, to find ways to really snuggle in here and call this place HOME. I've also been wanting to take better care of my kids. Sure, they're grown, but do we ever stop needing our Mama? I think not.
I've been thinking about food too. What goes in? Does it make me feel strong and able? What comes in to my eyes, my ears? What thoughts do I allow my mind to dwell on? Some of my thoughts are NOT what I want to feed on! SO- I say my mantra. Sometimes a thousands of times a day (or more!).
OM OM OM.....
So interesting you speak of the two things that interest me most and that I am STILL learning about.
ReplyDeleteEven more interesting to me is that when I was at yogaville and that is how I even know of your existance..I journaled about these two things and I still do until this day.
My journey to and through the revealing of these two things as in me. As my true nature but often covered up by my unconsciousness or somewhere in me unwillingness to surrender to day to day , moment by moment.
To surrender mySelf interest to selflessness to surrender my wanting to absolute faith... to know that what I have is what I need period. At any given time at any given moment and anything that comes or not is also exactly as it is to be.
A few days ago during teaching a yoga class I was inviting people to surrender themselves in the pose so that they were not a person doing a pose , what would it feel like to be the pose as it was being done. I said outloud this could sum up my entire spiritual journey day to day. The intention to shift my consciousness moment to moment to being done instead of ME Doing.
Absolute faith.
