Honoring Our Spirit Within

As I sit contemplating the launch of my private practice, I am wracked with questions on top of questions. Will this work? What’s going to happen? Do I even know what I’m doing? That’s when I came to the most important question I could ask myself: how do I want to show up in the world? All of the knowledge and education in the world can’t save me if I can’t show up in the world as my authentic self. A friend of mine (who always reminds me of the sunshine) once said to me, “The spirit in me honors the spirit in you”. At first I didn’t think much of it as we ended our yoga nidra session… I thought it was part of the etiquette for yoga instructors. But the profound meaning of her words hit me when I started thinking about HOW I want to show up in the world: I want to honor you. Your journey. Your struggles. Your triumphs. Every thing that it means to be you, I want to show up for you and bear witness to your experiences and truly honor you for all that it means. Part of what I strive to share with others is my deep love and conviction that each soul is precious and so worthy of all that is good in the world. There are those that actually DO scoff at me and call me “rainbows and unicorns”… I truly believe that life is tough enough. The best I can do is show up in all my rainbow and unicorn glory and honor the fuck out of you, you beautiful soul. Namaste. The spirit in me honors the spirit in you.
