May sharing these feelings of rebirth be of some use, or at the very least stir some feelings for you to ponder. The other night before a deep slumber, I simply asked for my dreams to “show me something”. Well, ask and you shall receive! The dream that night was vivid, and in a moment of fear I awoke to consciously process it. In processing those naked, raw and dark images, it brought up emotions related to both death and rebirth. I shed a few quiet tears, and it was through those fleeting emotions of recall and writing, that I could say I am ready to hold space and guide others (again). Although I do not always FEEL ready, the lessons learned from sad and tragic events in my life have me holding a bright light that will guide me through any darkness. And the beauty of it is, that I enjoy sharing that light and seeing it glow in others! Years ago, my spiritual teacher Jeffrey Armstrong suggested that I was a spiritual leader. It scared me! It still scares me a bit from time to time, but this world needs us all to be awake for the sake of encouraging higher consciousness. That is to say, we all need to do our part to promote an elevated way of being. It is OUR responsibility. We all have the light and ability to share it.
Let’s care for the dark, forgotten and hidden aspects of ourselves, and then trust everything is going to be all right and unfold for the higher good of all. It is a journey to purify the mind and body, awaken what is sleeping, nurture what is broken, and walk in the face of any doubts or fears.
Let the journey begin. Feel the love and be the light.
Namaste

In January, my little girl turned 10, so it’s time for me get out there! It has taken longer than I wanted to reinvent Body Harmony Yoga, but I am ready to reconnect with all you spiritual seekers. With the recent completion of my Yoga Therapy certification, it is with great pleasure and continued professionalism that I now offer Yoga Therapy at Urban Balance Wellness.
