Reduce your load!

Just before meditation or yoga, we traditionally and symbolically take off our shoes.

We can set aside our baggage as we enter the practices. Fear not, everything will still be there when we get back.

Oddly, following the practices, gathering our stuff, we may leave behind some of our baggage recognizing it as unnecessary, getting in the way of our journey forward.

And what remains might just seem a little more valuable, more necessary and useful as we move forth!
