I finally arrived to Kripalu after a very long and exhausting day/week/month/year. It’s been two years since I’ve been here, a record for me after all of these years coming here to teach, retreat, and learn how to be with myself, my thoughts, my pain.
Starting off with partner yoga for couples tonight after falling in love with this practice in my body and heart over ten years ago. The sweet power of connection and creating a conscious space to allow each other to feel ourselves and extend into the field of awareness we create in partnership is a deep pleasure, one that I need to remember as I struggle with the tender pain in my heart dealing with the state of my son’s current reality. We can be mirrors for each other and witness our pain without judgement, helping to hold all kinds of feelings which makes room for more joy and peace. In loving service we can find ourselves in a perpetual loop when balance is achieved between the giver/receiver. Each holds a piece of the puzzle on how to love others while also allowing them the space to feel their pain without trying to fix or rescue them. Precious reminder for all of us who just want to shield our loved ones from discomfort or pain.
Thank you for all of your messages, phone calls, hugs, hope. I have felt them all. In the darkest times I turn towards the inner light and each person who genuinely cares and doesn’t just want to know what’s happening for the gory details allows me to believe there is a way to support each other through many challenges that previously felt impossible to do alone. Remember that we are never alone in our experience, many have suffered with the same feelings and can help provide some refuge from the storm. Love and light to you all, and thank you for listening, reading, praying for more peace and understanding. It is never for nothing and your true compassion soothes my aching heart. 💚
