BLOG
Over the years I have had the privilege and pleasure of offering a practice on the deeper purpose of Savasana, or Corpse pose. Although most Yoga classes end with this deep relaxation / integration pose, it is rare that we get to consider the deeper meaning and value of the practice.
I would like to share a story from many years ago that happened over the course of a weekend ‘Exploring our Death to Liberate our Lives’. It is an experience that stays with me because of this woman’s bravery to face what was really true for her.
EMBRACING LIFE AND DEATH
COMPASSION ESSAY -FROM ‘THE PLEASURES AND PRINCIPLES OF PARTNER YOGA’
“The spiritual potential of humanity – perhaps the survival of humanity itself – is intimately connected with our ability to develop true compassion.”
Compassion is an essential principle in our human journey. The need for compassion remains constant amid our ever-changing concepts of what it means to be spiritual beings. Compassion’s primacy is often overlooked in our search for mystical meaning and esoteric understanding. As we grow in awareness, we come to see that compassion is crucial to every step of our development.
CAN EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING REALLY BE SIMPLE?
As I continue down the path of making peace with my emotional nature, I am inspired to share what I am discovering. Teaching and sharing what what I know to be true not only supports others but deepens my own understanding.
Becoming more comfortable with, and accepting of, the full range of our emotions is something every human can benefit from. Because we have been taught to fear and deny our emotions, they create havoc in our bodies, our lives and our world.
