A few days ago
I cried in Yoga class
It’s been a long time
since I last cried in a Yoga class- not
since the healing from my divorce
My teacher said something like, “You know sometimes people get upset about how the teacher adjusts them in class. They want to be cuddled, massaged or gently nurtured. As yoga teachers we are not here to pamper you. We are here to help you to see where you are off balance and guide you back into balance.”
I said to him- “Unfortunately in this world- it is hard to find teachers with integrity. To have a teacher who can see where your off balance and with integrity guide you back into your Truth while honoring the elders, and the lineage is a treasure. We are so grateful to have you as a teacher.”
While in Savasana
that morning I cried
I cried for all the students who have ever
come to any teacher with a
Open and vulnerable heart
seeking Truth and
the space was not
Held in Integrity
–
I cried for every teacher
who has willing served others and
has not been able to manage
their own humanity and has not
Served in a good way
–
I cried for every person who has ever
felt that something was “off” and was not
Able to maintain their boundaries and they
Allowed violation of their
Holy Temple
–
I cried for the Light of Consciousness
To shine upon all those who
Walk the Path of LOVE
so that we may all
Teach and be Taught-
In A GOOD Way.
–
I prayed for healing
I prayed for all the teachers and
I prayered for all the students
I prayed for Truth
To guide The Way
I prayed for
Unconditional LOVE
For All Our Relations
