A NEW BEGINNING




“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look at the closed door, that we don’t see the one that has opened for us.”

Helen Keller

I love to listen to the sounds of birds in the morning…it is such a gentle and beautiful way to wake up. I go outside with bare feet and walk through the moist grass and am able to take in the beauty of this small portion of the world. Everything seems to be perfect, the sun is shining through the woods and is slightly caressing my shoulders, the flowers are opening their eyes, the leaves on the trees still have little droplets of water on them. I am able to close my eyes and sit still for a while…listening to the outside sounds and to my mind. Practicing Shaucha, purity of mind and body is once again my intention this week. Letting go of self criticism, fear, anger and judgment is my desire. To be able to heal, to be free and accept what is.

Teacher training is over and it is a good feeling. I will miss all the beautiful weekends with my friends. On this part of our path together we experienced a great transformation and a unity as a group. Though we are pulled in different directions and there is diversity among us, we have the same goal. We wish to see our light, our truth, the love, peace and wisdom within. As one door closes another will open. It is a new beginning and we have to take the knowledge and wisdom we have gained and impart it to those that will share our journey with us.

Love to all Sonja
