well, i just got in from doing the sweatiest yoga possible, this morning...
i mean, each time i went to downward facing dog...a stream of water was flowing off of me, pouring onto my mat...
pretty insane, really!
but amazing, just as well!
to feel all that is within you, basically, coming out and rolling off onto your mat.
i'm sitting here now, in front of my computer...trying to recover...
and reflect on a few things that i felt through this practice today...
and one of the things the instructor talked about today...
was living the life that we're practicing on these mats...
way easy to love and live and sweat, right there, on the mat...
but to take out into the world, what we're doing there...
and breath it in and breath it out...
and spread something good, to the people that are around us each day.
that's the part thats a bit harder.
but, completely do-able.
no matter what we're believing in, whether it be going to church, meditating, doing yoga...whatever our path that leads us to this enlightenment...
putting it into practice, in the truth and reality of our lives...that's where it all comes together.
that's where life comes together.
that's where, we, as people, come together.
to give support and love, where it is needed.
to just say to another soul...'hey, i'm here' and 'you're not alone'
sometimes just knowing that or hearing it...
is enough to get us through the daily struggles of life.
what we bring to the table of life, is more than we can imagine.
if we truly share who we are...our hearts, souls, and minds...
we could change our lives, and the people around us as well.
because whether or not we'd like to admit it, who we are and how we feel and how we speak...affects others in the grandest of ways...good and bad.
i found this passage this morning, in a wonderful book that an amazing friend let me borrow recently...
'as the layers of falsehood fall away, an intimacy develops with our own truth. ultimately our truth becomes all there is. truth becomes our essence and our reality, our deepest desire, and the air we breathe.'
it's such a beautiful passage about the truth that we hold within us.
and believing that truth, without excuse, and with love.
it begins to be who we are.
no walls or fences...no hiding behind anything.
just wide open spaces.
possibilities beyond belief!
imagine yourself to be,
just who you are.
and that is enough.
more than enough.
enough for all things.
very motivating, so glad I found this!
