Greg and I learned we were supposed to have twins and something went wrong. I am in the process of miscarriage. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever faced. Having lost my mother at a very young age is the only comparison I can reference.
The particular style of yoga and philosophy I practice is based on the innate goodness of the divine. There are many different practices designed to help see this goodness. One key component is being grounded in yourself. If you are not clear as to your own true nature you will not recognize it in anything else.
Bad things happen. Hurtful things happen. Life can really knock you around. Sure, I can choose to spend my life unhappy and see only the shit side of everything. What’s the point? When I embrace the pain and allow it to wash over me I am not exactly happy; but I do feel myself start to heal or at least shift a little. There is strength in embracing truth. It connects me with my true nature which is not all hearts and flowers. Even in the pain there is a certain beauty that is evident in all creation.
Life, all living things have the most amazing nature to survive to make more of itself. Even the universe is expanding and getting bigger. Why choose to live as if things are always being taken from you? Let your actions affirm life. Step into the flow of grace; co-participate & live a life of abundance!
