From Lisa in Ashland
Just as with the process of dying and losing those we love, we have an opportunity in which we get clear on what to let go of……. the materials, things, commitments, habits, behaviors, busyness and people that keep us from what is most important and focus on what matters most to each of us. We are not given many opportunities to really feel this on the level, experientially as we do when losing a loved one we cherish and cannot imagine life without. It seems to me we are all at this moment, collectively in the world, and the beauty is we still have time in this sacred awareness to change what we want and need to change in our lives. Similar sacred moments of clarity, as those I had a few years ago when I sat at the bedside of each of my parents. Not moments I was wanting to face but ones that presented themselves with a fierce calling and offering an opportunity to do what I know needs to be done. Once again, it has all become so crystal clear…… out of suffering, the fear of loss and other complex underpinnings. The teachings of yoga philosophy I hold so dear are once again supporting me through this time and I want to thank you for bringing them to me. I am deeply grateful, once again.
