Spring is a beautiful time of renewal and growth. This year the growth may be pleasant or unpleasant. Change that is long awaited is greeted with open arms and change that is sudden or unexpected can be met with much resistance. Both are reflections of evolution. Whether we like it or not life is moving forward - what is true in this moment is not true the next. We are not defined by what exists in this moment. Tomorrow our job may be different, our health may change and our relationships reflect new faces. We get so attached to what is in this moment that we may lose sight that it can all change in an instant. So what does that mean?
Two major fundamentals of yoga arise in these moments. Embrace the now and be present now for it is all that we know to be true. Second, what is constant is the core of our being. Who we are at the core of our being is ever-present in any ray of change. Our resilience, our determination, our will, our spirit - although it may be tested and challenged it is our north star in any moment of change.
Normal is constantly changing - allow yourself to mourn the last chapter and grieve the darkness sometimes buried in the winter. Awaken to spring, awaken to growth, awaken to your true self.
