How humbling it is to be new at something. I recently started to learn how to play the guitar. And let me tell you, compared to the other instruments I play, the guitar is a totally different animal. . . It is complex. Precise. Requires acute coordination, crazy hand dexterity and strength, and basically has a pretty steep learning curve, IMHO. . . I find this journey to be frustrating at times, and to be completely honest, challenging to commit to. . . I think for many of us, when we don’t receive instant gratification or confirmation that we’re excelling, we are tempted to throw in the towel. . I have certainly felt this. And truth be told, I had my guitar for months before I ever really picked it up. You know — that whole, “I’d rather not try than fail,” thing. . But here is the thing. I have wanted to learn how to play guitar for over a decade. And I have visions of playing and singing for yoga classes, incorporating it into my sound healing work, and even leading Kirtans and doing shows. #goals . And guess what — no one can learn how to play guitar for me. So there is only one thing to do. . Keep at it. . Keep at it, and enjoy the process. . It is such a cool experience to watch myself improve, bit by bit, simply by spending even just a small amount of time with this instrument each day. (Okay... sometimes every other day 😉.) . In other, seemingly unrelated news... . Continued in comments....

It came to me the other day that we have to practice both the light and the dark. . Maybe this seems obvious for those of us who have been traveling this spiritual path for sometime. But I think that we can get stuck practicing more of one than the other. . For me, I have a tendency to get stuck in deep work territory and end up living in the dark. . Yes, we need to sit in the dark, feel our feelings, and give voice to our shadows. . But we also need to remember that we are the light. And keep remembering it. Especially when we are in the dark. #deepwork . Light and dark are two sides of the same cosmic coin. . And to experience the fullness and richness of the human spiritual experience, we have to practice being with both. . From darkness comes depth — a profound knowing of all aspects of self, particularly those parts we prefer to keep hidden. . But it is in the light where the healing happens. Where we hold up what has been hidden and allow its shadow to be pierced by the light. This is transmutation. This is sacred alchemy. . For me, practicing light looks a lot like remembering that God is all around me, allowing this energy to flow through me, and do what it needs to do to shift me out of the dark and into the light. . I feel this is an essential component of healing. We need to venture into the dark, but we aren’t meant to live there. Once we have seen the depth of our dark, the next step is to hold it close and journey back into Light where it can come home to our hearts, back into wholeness, back into oneness. .

Lately it seems like everything is changing. And when I say everything, I mean the stuff that paints my inner world, that then radiates out to create... well, everything. . Things that once resonated for me, now do not. Practices that once helped me feel connected and whole now feel shallow and empty. Beliefs that once made me feel solid and firm have blown away in the wind. . This has been an uncomfortable process. One that at first made me feel like I was moving backwards and losing touch with my spirituality. Who knows, maybe this is true. But, I have a feeling that what is actually occurring is that the old structures that brought me this far, can no longer hold me. For I have grown too much and the structures of faith that I now require must grow too. . Sometimes our foundations have to crumble in order for new ones to be built. And sometimes when those structures come falling down, we realize we need to move our spiritual homes to a new place entirely. . . I am still settling into this new space within myself. And sometimes I feel completely unachored and like I have no idea what I’m doing or where I’m going. But, if there is one thing that I have learned on this journey, it is that uncertainty is required for growth. Questioning is required for evolution. And that not knowing is an extraordinarily powerful place of unbounded potential. . . ✨Yoga and Sound Offerings✨ . Tuesday 6:00pm Yoga Nidra & Sound Meditation With @rzwyoga @davesastangayoga . .
