Savoring The Endings

Adventures In Disappointment
Looking for adventure? Willing to take a risk? Here’s the challenge: what’s one of the most common feelings you avoid or resist? Try this exploration of disappointment.

What Do You Really Want?
There’s a point in each yoga class when I say to my students, “What do you really want? Open your heart to it and imagine that you are receiving it now.” I have no idea what they want; although because it’s a class called “Yoga For Stress Reduction," I imagine they all want to feel peaceful and calm. So I offer that as a suggestion – priming the pump a little. But who knows? Maybe what they’re imagining receiving is a new car, or a promotion at work?
Seeker Wing – Excavating Our Authentic Self

When confronted with the challenge to address the improper use of power, my decision to experience and hold all my nasty emotions and thoughts continued to shift the dynamic in the herd. I was in complete awe bearing witness to the energetic shifts only by me owning my experience in thought and emotion fully.
