In meditation and yoga, there are times like yesterday in a restorative yoga class that I realize something I at times may lose sight of–how much I am being supported all the time, even when I am uncertain and in the flux of change.
If I hold on because I am afraid something bad will happen if I do let go, I hold on to what no longer serves me and don’t change. If it’s no longer serving me, what is it I am holding onto?
But if I let go and have trust everything will be okay no matter what happens, I make room for something good to happen. There is now this space of possibility.
I continue to learn over and over to trust that the resources will be available to support me no matter what unknown things lie around the bend. Yoga and meditation give me a greater awareness, strength, calm, and flexibility to realign and stay more centered and more resilient in the midst of change.
Rather than be recoiled in fear, I am more often in awe of all the twists and turns and surprises, some certainly not easy or at all expected, that life has in store for me.
