Letting Go

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. ~ Lao Tzu

As I find myself transitioning once again... I am reminded of the wisdom of letting go. Like playing the edges of a pose and finding that juicy space where awareness of thoughts surfaces (my legs are burning, I can't hold this any longer, etc.), much sensation arises, and the opportunity to let go into all of it is fully present. I love that part of yoga... even when my mind does not. I'm now noticing these aspects more in life. When my critic questions my abilities or someone else does and my mind wants to agree (or sometimes become defensive). When I find doubts or worries surfacing. When a nagging sensation in my body piques my curiosity. Finding love for that is where letting go will have to come in.

I must say I do seem to like a challenge, but there are those that I am not aware of the ability to handle yet. Enter Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (and the underlying wisdom that everything shows up when I am ready for it). A way to bring oneself to the "edges". To explore deeper, feel more, and learn to let go and see that wisdom underneath it all. Part of my edge through all of this is sharing more. Part of our training is to keep a daily journal, so I most likely will find myself posting some of that.

In this moment I am letting go of the need to fill up space with anymore words... 'nough said.
