Being Fearless
Fearless?? Not me. Well maybe.
I'm attending a 3 day conference in the city put on by the Omega Institute called Being Fearless. Something I signed up for ages ago, recently lost the fire to go, then got excited again. In preparation I took large luggage and filled it with salad greens. Very silly, since I was going to be in New York City!!! I ate it anyway, in addition to some lovely raw food I bought at Westerly Market.
I was in a full day intensive with Seane Corn (seanecorn.com), activist yogi extraodinare. I have been studying with her occasionally over several years, and I was delighted with her evolution as a yogi, her phenomenal work with YouthAids and her depth of knowledge. I always had the feeling she was just a young little thing, but it turns out she is my age! (That would be 40, by the way).
Her message was so in line with what I've been thinking and teaching. The separation between body and non-physical self (mind, spirit, emotion, etc...) is completely false. Its a fiction created by the ego, perhaps for control. I tell my clients all the time that all the experiences they are having in their lives are connected. So if they want to deal with their indigestion, they better be dealing with their relationships. If they want to deal with chronic back pain, they better look at work and money. It's all the same issue manifesting in the various realms so that we can't ignore. Seane's just had so many experiences that drive that point home. It really resonated with me. Even though I found the practice challenging in my body, it was very rewarding.
I have been thinking about who would be the next guiding voice in my evolution as a teacher and student of yoga, and I am feeling very attracted by her approach. I will look at some of her upcoming trainings and events.
She pretty much disregarded the printed schedule, and gave us our lunch break at 2pm. Yes, I was starving, but it did not disturb me energetically (yahoo!). I got this great juice (lemon, ginger, kale, celery, apply) and some veggies. It was too perfect for words. I am really pleased that my palate has adjusted to this degree of simplicity and feel that it's definitely a breakthrough.
Although I don't think there are any physical changes, I do feel lighter. I am eliminating better and enjoying the process. The spaciness is a bit much, but it's making me think that maybe the world will not come to a grinding halt if I'm not completely on task every minute of every day. Do you think???
