I’m Back!! Yes, I have been gone and dealing with what is known as Life. To put it simply, Life is Difficult, this is what yoga sutra 1.30 tells us “Vyadhi-Styana-Samsaya-Pramada-Alasya-Avirati-Bhrantidarsana-Alabdhabhumikatva-Anavasthitatvani-Cittaviksepah-Te-Antarayah”. Antarāya= obstacles that keep us from moving forward, these bumps in the road that bring our Practice to a screeching halt. I have suffered from this same dis-ease. My Yoga world was rocked the first of July. The place where I got my Yoga chops fell apart. This place where, since 2006 I had taught, laughed, cried and ultimately become who I am now. To put it mildly, my world fell apart. My income was taken to basically zero, but more than that, my trust was shaken to the ground. Attachment came up, self doubt ran rampant. Who would know me outside the walls of Yoga Yoga?? Who would I be now that my community was gone? My practice started to suffer.
As I met with my teacher and cried more than once, I started to come back to my practice and realized that life is indeed hard but as I come through this I realize that all the self doubt, attachments, lack of trust, these were Antarāyas obstacles that kept me from everything that had made me who I am.
Be well. Be Safe.
Love. Light.
