This is a reality I witness a lot of people struggle against. Wanting a straightforward path to follow their hearts. A clear step-by-step A to Z process. They feel confused and disappointed in search of their hearts in this way.
Over the years I’ve been asked the same question in different forms. The essence of this question is how does the spirit world connect to our practical everyday life? And recently someone asked me this question about plant spirits.
When I follow the thread of when poisonous plants showed up in my life, I continue to discover that they called me much sooner than I consciously recognized. In fact, every few months they show me another moment in time when they called me and I wasn't quite ready to say yes. For example, recently my husband started reading a book that I read not quite a decade ago. And guess who stars in the first chapters of the book? Poisonous plants :)
From the impact of childhood traumas to the ancestral burdens we carry, there is wisdom in the poison of our wounding.
Recently I was catching up with a dear spiritual friend of mine that I haven’t spoken to for quite some time. But we’ve had deep spiritual conversations and attended retreats together on and off for the last eight years.
Bridgekeeper. This is a title I heard given to me from the Spirit world many years ago on retreat. It’s a word that keeps returning time and time again. During meditations. During dreams. Synchronicities. And during sacred reflection time.
As I’ve turned this word over in my mind, heart, and soul, I’ve come to know that part of my sacred work in the world centers on bridge keeping. Which of course makes me a bridgekeeper.
Practice is on my mind lately. Practice in the widest sense of the term of consistently staying committed to something.
Tomorrow marks one year since I left Washington, DC to make my way cross country on a road trip that changed my life. I spent time in national parks, took long drives through hills of golden brush in silence, and I lived in a Buddhist monastery. I've been doing some "stocktaking" over the last week of the last year since my trip.
I am super excited to have a new class schedule starting this week with some fun changes! First, my Monday evening class at 14th Street is now a Dharma 1 class! This is a perfect class for beginners to Dharma Yoga or regular Dharma Yoga practitioners who are looking to work on the foundations of their practice.
I've been thinking a lot about attitude these days. The reflection started when I thought about people I admire, living and dead, who have many, many more years of experience on this plane of existence than me and what they had in common. The one thing they had in common...a tenacious awareness of the attitude they both cultivated and invested in during their daily lives.
