“Our path, our sense of spirituality, demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity, and continuity, but it is not intended to be a strained, hectic, or tortured pursuit. Above all, it is meant to be our own.
“It is a practice based in feeling at home in our own process, in ourselves, and in our unique situations, so that while we practice with effort and earnestness, we also practice with gratitude and ease. We can be natural even as we are wholehearted in applying the practice.
“We can put forth our complete effort while also being at peace. This ease comes from being uncontrived in our efforts and using every moment we can to see more clearly. Like Kamala mindfully washing dishes or walking down the hallway, our dedication to awakening can be expressed throughout the moments of our daily lives.”

thank you lovely woman for sharing this wisdom. I facilitate movement and dance classes with the aim that people “come home” to their own bodies, to find the joy within, and to deeply connect to self, to earth and others. But sometimes i forget to do it, i forget to just be, to feel the strength in my core, the flow in my feelings, the fire in my belly and the spirit in action- always offering grace. Another timely reminder from MAMMA MYSTIC , resonating with my own body’s wisdom. big sigh, big release and big gratitude.
