Thunderstorms

“When qualities of kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness are applied toward the suffering of others, they manifest as compassion. When they’re applied to our own suffering, they manifest as self-compassion. When they’re directed toward others’ positive qualities, they manifest as mudita: sympathetic joy. And when they’re directed toward our own positive qualities, they manifest as self-appreciation."

       —Kristin Neff

There was a pretty significant thunderstorm in my area a few days ago that brought down numerous trees. The trees were planted as adults by humans, meaning their roots were not deep enough to withstand the tumultuous winds. Similarly, when we are not rooted in our practice, we are not rooted in our lives. I have been feeling tumultuous, with the anticipation of warmer weather, the urge for my school semester to be over, the urge to complete one task and move on to the next. In this I miss the purpose of it all, of my practice. To just be. To be present and one with my obligations. To root myself firmly to this earth and know I belong. To experience that true and honest joy for others.  I have been teaching Mudita (sympathetic joy) on my own platform and on another hosting platform, in addition to being in full time school and starting a private practice for massage therapy. I created this reality for myself and I have to keep pinching myself to make sure it is real. What a joy it is. 

Teaching is interesting. You just know just a couple of specific things, and you share with others. If you think about it, everyone is our teacher. Everyone knows something we don’t, and vice versa. As I type this I sit across from my partner who is encapsulated by a new book about branding. He will soon know more than me on the topic and teach it to me.

The most fascinating subject I have been studying this semester, is not a psychology class, it is my intro level statistics class. It inspired me to write this poem (the coin flips especially). I began dictating which gym I got to on what day simply by flipping a coin. We are always gathering data and trying to make plausible sense of it: the bonds that unite us destroy us and there yet, the sacred Aquarius to the spacious Sagittarius the coin flips and i do not know the rest of your chart i'm a witch, in the night but i do not practice the dark arts my ancestors fought for the medicine and the alchemy of the ancients to be preserved. yet, why does your presence make me feel so unnerved? every night i speak to my inner child but it's more than that there's an aspect we like to forget that is more painful than seeing us harming the inner child it is who is doing the harming it is our shadow the shadow arts are no small fleet it takes bravery, courage, and above all nothing to lose to make peace with one's shadow the ones who try and fail are alarmed by the awful screeches of their shadow as soon as they close their eyes but those who listen, keep their eyes closed keep inquiring more about the source of the pain the shadow will remain, but a friend you will gain

Interesting enough, I enjoy doing statistics when in the company of a classmate or even a friend. As I talk through the concepts out loud, it begins to make more sense. I've been thinking as the weather gets warmer, at least for us here on the East Coast, the sudden change in dynamic as well as the thought of "this is the final cold week of the season" is always around the corner. By me, we are still filling up the pellet stove and tonight it will be cold again. I keep wishing for a speedy return of summer so my semester will end and I can swim out on the lake again. I am sure everyone is looking forward to a better tomorrow at some point of the day. But we must remember, that just as the seasons changing bring promises of better tomorrows, it is in the present moment we can find stillness and ease. It is late as I write this. As I am about to go off for some scheduled TV time. I barely have the chance to watch TV anymore. But I will tonight. Healing isn’t linear. Healing isn’t devoid of pleasure. Healing is tricky and messy, and an art. Thank you for reading.  Shanti Shanti Shanti Peace, Peace, Peace

We just published our first episode for the year, it’s a great conversation with Gina Macauley of @yogahara It was great getting Gina’s perspective on running a #yogastudio #yogapractice and life! She has really practical approach grounded in #yogicphilosophy and some great ideas!! I also learned so much hearing about her #adrenalhealing workshop and her #yogatherapy practice.
