One thing is clear to me - that as long as we are alive, we have a precious opportunity to grow and change, to mature our humanity both emotionally and psychologically. And to deepen into our spiritual nature - the part of us that recognizes to a greater or lesser degree, that we are more than this body and the story of this lifetime.

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.
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.
