The world has seemed so heavy recently.
So much s**t going on, and there have been times when it's SO hard to remember the good and the positives.
It's times like these when I am truly grateful for my practice.
I can say how I feel without guilt or shame, because that's not who I am, itâs just how I feel right now.
And when I can name it, I can deal with it.
Weâve been focused on Ahimsa this week in classes. One of the 8 limbs of yoga, translated as non-harming.
When there is so much harm happening in the world, where can we shine our internal light of good and kindness?
When we start on the mat, it might be checking in with our energy levels, and honouring those. Taking the time to notice if we might need a slower and more grounded practice.
Or not. Maybe we need to move the energy of our emotions through the body?
When we take our practice off the mat we might:
Check in with a neighbour or friend you haven't heard from
Offer your seat to someone who needs it
Offer your space in a queue to someone
Give someone an extra big hug
Read just one more bedtime story
Because these small moments? They matter.
Kindness doesnât have to be big or loud to make a difference. It ripples. It softens. It reminds people theyâre not alone.
And maybe thatâs where change begins. Not by fixing everything all at once, but by choosing, again and again, to meet the world with a little more compassion.
Start where you are.
On your mat.
In your home.
Out in the world.
A little less harm.
A little more love.
With love
