"May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom or all."
These words kept echoing in my heart yesterday...during my practice on my mat the instructor suggested we find our connection to the Earth. To tap into our root. The place where tradition is tucked away, the space where rituals are repeated. I accessed this space with my breath and found it easily and thoughtfully. She bellowed out in a soft voice for us to set our intentions. My intention wallowed up from the inside out. Without even thinking about it I began to notice the rise and fall of my breath. On my next inhale, May all beings everywhere be happy, on the exhale- may all beings everywhere be free. Each breath I took throughout my practice became a chance to liberate the world of its suffering. Each breath was a reminder that my practice is not only for me, but for all beings who wish to experience happiness and freedom. I could hear my brother Ben breathing next to me. How cool that we were both in this space sharing this experience? Divine timing had coordinated our paths to cross at this particular class. When class ended, Sarah closed it with gratitude, bowing to her students. Her closing words were, "May all beings everywhere be happy and free." I could feel the chills of spirit moving through my body and I noticed a shower of tears fill my eyes. So much gratitude for this practice, for this life. May all beings everywhere be happy and free.
May you Sweetly Seek:)
