Greetings!
yoga=freedom
One of the BIG gifts (though they are all BIG and there are soooo many!!) that we have received from showing up for our yoga and meditation is a feeling of freedom that comes from comfort with constant change and delicious uncertainty.
"According to the principles of yoga, the only true security comes from your willingness to embrace the unknown, the realm of uncertainty. By relinquishing your attachment to the known, you step into the field of pure potentiality in which the wisdom of uncertainty is factored into all your choices. Practicing detachment and embracing uncertainty, you relinquish your need to hold onto the past, which is the only thing that is known. Being open to what is happening rather than trying to control how things unfold, you experience the excitement, adventure, exhilaration and mystery of life ." THE SEVEN SPIRITUAL LAWS OF YOGA, DRS. DEEPAK CHOPRA AND DAVID SIMON
excitement, adventure, exhilaration and mystery of life.....ah, yes!!! How sweet it is!!
One of the first mantras we ever adopted was "this too shall pass away" and this has kept us grounded in an acceptance of the ever changing nature of this human experience. The "not-knowing" is the succulence of excited anticipation. Everything is working out perfectly, in such delightful ways.
So in the rich vibrant prana of our summer enjoyment, let us pause to celebrate the grace of embracing uncertainty, the thrill of cards not yet revealed, the juiciness of infinite possibilities and the freedom of life as constant, dynamic change.
Or as our favourite movie heroine says "God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road."
-Isak Dinesen, Out of Africa
Releasing our need to see too far down the road is true freedom.
Namaste,
marita & doris
