Dancing in the light
I am currently reading a wonderful book by Paolo Coelho. There are many beautiful visuals and poetic wanderings painted on the pages. The book is about Athena who is driven in her path to find the Light. She discovers that she can find the Light through Dance. While letting her body go, her mind will follow until she reaches a bliss like state. She also discovers that through calligraphy she can find peace within each letter and each word. She is disturbed by the fact that through the spaces her mind drifts.
I couldn’t help but relate this to my journey with yoga. As I practice I feel I am in the Light. Things make sense. I am out of my head. I am myself. I can make offerings to the Light and my highest power through the poses, my breathing, and being truly present. It is the spaces, the attempt to bring yoga to the everyday world, that gets me all lost again.
With this new spiritual being growing inside of me, I find that I have a deep connection with the Light at the same time as feeling my roots really grounding. I can tap into this beautiful energy very easily. I feel as if my little son is helping me. It feels as if he is still connected to the Light while being inside of me.
Wishes of love and peace at the closure of this year and the budding of a new year.
