Thing about this journey, this practice that we're going on together, this adventure, is that once you start peeling back these layers of who you truly are, it never stops. It's like this endless unfolding. And it's a really, really brave thing that we're doing. So brave. Because most people will spend an entire lifetime hiding avoiding, numbing. And the journey of the self to the self is the journey of yoga. And so our practice to return to the truth, to our true nature. When we practice this with depth, duration, and consistency, it becomes the rock we stand on. You know, I remember when I married a man when I was twenty-five, and when I left him, my sister said something to me about how a lot of people will spend their whole lives in the wrong marriage. And I like couldn't do it for a single day. I couldn't do it for a single day. And that's because I was already on my journey home. Right, so it's really, really brave to do this work, the journey of the self and to the self, because we're gonna start peeling back and uncovering layers and have to get really courageous about who we truly are. And as I have this reunion with my inner child right now, it's like pretty frightening and scary to consider that the story of my life is like a completely different story than I've ever known and ever told. But as I cross the shore, after swimming through a lot of fear and doubt, and shame and resistance, I cross to a side of the river that's more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. So the practice with sincere devotion, it's not warrior one, it's not warrior two, it's our practice of remembering and coming into union, which we can practice every single day. Let's come to meet up and seated with our hands at Heart Center.
