Throughout my life, I have been on an infinite quest to master the various philosophies of our time. From anatomy to astrology- from life to death- from yoga to mindfulness- from mystics to modern day superheroes, I have been seeking. I have searched the shelves for books, and I have spent many years cultivating my vast array of interests. I have explored and expanded. I have paused and I have faltered. All the while, my heart has been so curious about this journey!
At my recent training with Rodney Yee, he inquired, 'What are you constantly doing that is getting in our way of growth?' Sitting with this question, I feel a multitude of answers. I can feel the contraction of shame, the aliveness of possibility, the alignment of truth, and the realization that I am truly an eternal student.
The more I study, the more I realize I haven't a clue. Life is aways asking us to be the student. Life asks that we dig deeper, that we soften our minds and strengthen our hearts. What nourishes your heart? Maybe it isn't contained within the pages of a book, but perhaps it is soaking in the glory rays of the sun, or offering kindness to another.
There is so much rich and valuable information that can be used to increase our awareness. How can you become more present in this moment? How can you bring a smile to your lips? How can you lean in and have a conversation with life?
On this gorgeous day, may you begin tapping into the 'knowledge' contained within your heart and begin asking yourself, 'What am I doing that is getting in the way of my growth?' Be infinite and kind as you sit with this question.
May You Sweetly Seek:)
In Gratitude,
