Part of what feels so good about being loved is that the other is Deeply Affirming you. YOU, yes, YOU

To truly live from the heart, we must engage the great work of learning to BELIEVE people when they genuinely express Love.  

An awakened heart is one that lives and breathes.  To awaken your heart means that you can connect with a stream of wisdom that resides inside of you.

In the Bhagavad Gita, we’re taught that of all the paths, the Heart is the highest.  This teaching is a permission slip to do as Rumi says, "Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” 

Life is chaos!  There is so much chaos and so much beauty in real life.  There is so much chaos and beauty in being human.  It is not your job to fix the chaos.

The trouble comes when we think the imperfections are imperfect and disallowed.

What is the lasting impression you want to leave on your students?

Yesterday, after 9.5 years, I taught my last class at a studio in town. I wanted to leave the students with a teaching that would serve them for years to come. And so I left with this:

  Have you ever focused on that one tiny negative thing in the sea of positives?  Or have you ever been struggling and then gone the extra mile to add in self judgement?  If so, then you exactly how I felt.

I am literally a different - more alive, powerful, empowered person on this side of 2016 because of the work I did and the people who worked with me.
