freedom of letting go

Perhaps you’ve heard the quote:
”You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.”

Does this quote ring true to you? Whether you’re just beginning your journey on the yogic path, or if you’ve been practicing for years, you probably intuitively know in your heart that you are at the very core of your being, a Spirit or soul. You are not simply flesh and blood. You are so much more.

Who am I? Why am I here? Is there more to this life?
I understand that what we do in this lifetime and how we treat people has a direct effect on what happens in the future, as well as in future lifetimes. This belief is at the core of Buddhist teachings and also at the heart of yoga. We are profoundly beautiful, eternal souls that are having a human experience on planet Earth in order to evolve and grow. Another deeply profound quote by beloved spiritual teacher and master Deepak Chopra illustrates this concept beautifully:

“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.”

How beautiful is this notion of being on an endless cosmic journey? When we tap into this idea and feel into this essence, we feel free and expansive. We become more lighthearted and full of light.

Our experiences on this human plane become richer and more full of love. The path of spirit is endlessly unfolding. It’s forever propelling us deeper into the experience of what it means to be human.

This week I invite you to expand and feel into the depths of your soul.
Namaste
