This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Are you singing it yet? Well we were last night during what is definitely in my all time top 3 yoga classes I’ve ever taken! And that’s a really bold statement. It’s the most liberating feeling when you give in to your body and let it guide you instead of putting restrictions on movements, feelings, or our body’s natural ebb and flow. Last night I was led through a journey my body needed to take, I had conversations with the like minded again in a space where my roots grow freely and my soul sets itself on fire. And it made me realize how often we struggle to take the happiness from a place where we are one with ourselves into the outside world. How quickly we shut it down or are made to feel like we are crazy for believing and feeling such things. And just as quickly as the magic appeared it’s gone. The struggle is real. So I’ve made a promise to myself to keep this feeling alight, because last night during my practice I felt a burning within my heart and I couldn’t quite figure out if I wanted to cry, laugh, scream or just be silent, it was a really intense emotion that carried with me into today. I bent, sang, chanted, danced, and flowed, and all the negative things within me that have been niggling and settling in for months now were pushed out. They don’t belong there, they are dulling my shine.
Today I am shining again. Today I have pure laughter, a real genuine feeling of happiness within. Today all I feel is love. I wonder then how many others feel that way sometimes, stuck, confused, feeling like happiness is just around the next corner. Instead of looking into themselves today, getting rid of the baggage, throwing away negative feelings, clearing out the mind to let the inner light shine. Remembering who we really are, what we are capable of, how when we came from birth all we consisted of was a burning light of love and happiness, it is true we are made up of stardust.
I am inspired, my creativity is alight again, I am motivated towards improving my personal growth. I am me and I am alive, how amazing and powerful is that.
Take deeper breaths in the hallway, enter brand new rooms unrushed, for there is freedom in the unknowns to breathe, to rest, to trust.
