The Sacred Connection
With the energy of one year ending and another beginning, I taught my yoga class the other day on this idea or process on how welcoming or inviting in something new, is also an ending of something else. There is a sacred connection in the process of letting go and of welcoming in something new.
Beauty in the Transition
There can be a lot of grief and emotions wrapped up in the letting go and yet you know, you must let go. Much like how the trees let go of the bright and sometimes multicolored leaves, we too have to let go of something or someone that brought a lot of light and colored our world a different shade.
Letting go & Letting in
What a profound statement. What if we explored the concept of grief being something to let in. To be with. Where grief has a welcomed seat at our table. What if we didn’t have to try so hard to let go but rather just invited more of it in. Instead of pushing ourselves to move on, we move forward WITH the loss.
Find Balance
We come to see that just like when you are standing in a tree pose, life is always in motion - your ankle and leg muscles are always slightly moving to keep you in balance. Life will always continue. Even when it may seem that nothing new is emerging, it is still moving forward. It is moving towards balance.
Take a moment to reflect
As we move from winter into spring, take a moment to reflect on where you have been, so you can fully move forward into the next season of your life.
