“My reference point was always to be awake and to live fully.”
- pema chödrön -
I am coming to understand the importance of consciousness. With my students I am always bringing them to their awareness of their bodies. After all we are building an internal instrument. Body consciousness is an integral part of it’s development. Only lately I am experiencing moments of deeper consciousness.
It’s like drifting in and out. What is my purpose? That’s clear. How do I get there? Got a plan. What’s holding me back? Me. What? Well not all the time but since I have a commitment to the truth, and I know that starts with be truthful with myself (hardest one!) I know there are times when I slip. The difference now is that the awakening awareness is right there saying, “Excuse me! I believe you are contemplating falling off the wagon...” What wagon? Well the wagon of commitment to what I have to do to follow my path. Distractions are always creeping up. Some of them are parts of our lives we need to take care of: jobs, kids, mundaneness of everyday life. We know when we are having an internal conversation to justify our slacking off.
Pema hits the nail on the head. In order to live fully, to get to that place where we can thrive and be all we are meant to be, we must be awake, aware and see all the signs along the way. Life is calling. Wakey, wakey everyone!
Namaste!
