I've completed module one of my yoga therapy training. I have learned so much and can share and help everyone even more now. My time here has also uncovered some baggage from my past that is not serving me that I need to let go of. I am becoming the woman who owns a healing center and shares her gifts with others and this baggage can't go with me. I was born deaf in one ear and have nerve deafness in the other. Because of this I don't hear things, I feel left out and very different. I've been trying to fit in my whole life, trying to be someone I'm not. I thought I had gotten over that but it became apparent during the past two weeks that I have not. I talked about this with my coach and mentor Kate. We decided that I would write this out on a rock and release it in the labyrinth here at Kripalu by the Buddha statue. So I started my walk looking for just the right rock. On the way I found two. On one I wrote out what I need to let go of "fitting in" and on the other I wrote an intention "I fully accept and love myself. I am special and unique and I will bring great gifts to the world." I placed the intention rock at Swami Kripalu meditation garden. It is a beautiful round path in the woods. The path is in an oval shape with rocks marking it and benches dedicated in people's memories. I took the second rock, walked the labyrinth and left the other rock with Buddha at the larbyrinth. On my walk I also found a part of a tree branch perfectly shaped like a boomerang. It symbolizes to what we give out in life we get back. I am going to paint it and date it for today and where I was. It will be placed in my yoga studio as a reminder to always act mindfully. I also picked these flowers on my way back from the labyrinth. My room mate and I need some color in our room.
Hope you enjoyed the post ... Namaste!
