I am so happy that our weekend is finally here. Im eager to hear how everyone is doing. Im looking forward to our sharing circle. This will be a great weekend. I have new questions and new news to share myself. Love to all of you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Women,
ReplyDeleteI just had to share this with you all, since you’ve been there from the beginning.
Last night, my father (the one I just reconnected with) told my mother that he had let two of his seven children know about me and my brother Jim. When I checked my email this morning there were two emails, one each from my “new” brothers Scott and Rodney. Both welcoming me and telling me how excited they were to have new siblings. Rodney and his wife have invited us to stay at their house when Jim and I visit Syracuse in April!
This unconditional “hey, come and join the family!” is a bit overwhelming at the moment. So I have been having brief tearing jags and of course I am at work typing all this!
The thing is this…my journey back to my father would never have happened without this program, I am certain of that. I feel as if I have been broken open and now continually unfold. Life is the strangest thing…peace out! M2
So… Sunday morning I prepared to “take” the group relay class that was being practiced… to still observe, listen and be present for you all as student teachers… but I was stiff and needed to move, get some stretching in. What a different perspective, being on the mat and experiencing…
ReplyDeleteAlready by January’s weekend I had begun to notice that you all were becoming my peers… rounding that corner and stepping into your own. But this weekend really impressed me. My soul was touched beginning with the first one up, and that continued with each and every one in between. I saw, heard and felt very clearly everyone’s unique and genuine spirit come forth. To tell you the truth, it felt like one heart beating – each one of you synchronisticly connecting to the whole of what we have all been moving towards for the past several months.
It was so magical that it took me by surprise, and deep into my own personal experience. Your group class became one of the very best classes I had taken in a while, actually. I have been dealing with some difficult physical issues that have placed limitations around my practice for quite some time now. The instructions everyone gave were so graceful, gentle and nurturing that it enabled me to transcend this and embrace my yoga fully again with a lightness and openness I thought I had lost. What a welcomed renewal!
In the end, it reminds me how immensely valuable our back-to-basic instructions are: clarity and simplicity; mindful instruction; alignment, action, benefits; beginner’s mind. Thank you all for that healing gift.
You already are wonderful teachers, and I am honored to have shared your path thus far.
Namaste,
Jeannie
Jeannie, thank you for your comment on our group. I could sense the sincerity in it and it opened a very happy emotional chanel. It made me think how connected we all are and I am honored to be part of it.
ReplyDeletePeace and Joy
Jeannie,
ReplyDeleteIt has taken several days to respond to your "message of the heart". I was so deeply touched, I had to think about why. And, it was because you could share your innermost feelings in our "safe" place. Our Yogi community has created an environment in which we feel "safe" enough to speak of whatever is our need. That is a beautiful "knowing" - it is rare when this happens:) I have been your student for awhile and from the beginning felt a connection to your "beautiful spirit". It has been joyous to find my way during this TT with you. I too am honored to share YOUR path ♡♥☺
Namasti, Shanti, Love and Blessings,
Sonja
Isvarapranidhani - the desire of my heart - to live with an awareness of the Divine. Isvarapranidhani became so clear and apparent to me after our recent weekend. I came to TT exhausted and weary; present only in body. God had prepared for me the perfect weekend for restoration of my body, mind and spirit although my brain never did show up:) Our agenda being perfect for me was "topped" when Vicki asked if I would like to share why I was burdened and sad. I did and she gave me great advice, which I followed. This resulted in a wonderful outcome with a colleague! My journey, living with an awareness of the Divine, is growing more visible/apparent each day as I look/expect HIM to be everywhere and in everything. This "leap" of awareness, I owe to each of you and the beautiful months we have shared♥♥
ReplyDeleteShanti, joy and love,
Sonja
