Hello you, Summer is in full swing here in Europe and the sun makes everything easier, lighter. But what about those situations that arenât easy or light? When we experience emotions we donât want to deal with, are âunyogicâ so to say? What do we do then? Yoga teaches us that there is no separation, just oneness. This means that we shouldnât ignore any feelings, emotions, but rather we should build a relationship with them, provide the space for them, allow them to be there and listen to them... It can help to see these emotions as parts of our childhood consciousness that havenât been seen and heard. All they need now is to be there and to hang out for as long as they need to hang out. You just need to be the guesthouse for these separate parts so that they can eventually merge back into wholeness. This is the practice of yoga off the mat! And when the sun is shining, you can use that lightness to help you sit lovingly with the darker parts of you. Love, Esther Ekhart |
