Modern Yogini

Day 5

First and foremost, I am a yogini, or by some definitions, an aspiring yogini... dedicated to the union within. From that union, all emerges. The reflection of grace and feminine wisdom came today in the form of Shambhavi Yogini, a lovely woman I look forward to sharing more company with during the retreat I'm participating in this weekend. She has much to offer, and I, much to learn.

I've been reflecting on my authentic expression as a healer/teacher/writer. It's not authentic for me to dress in a sari, because I am not by birth an Indian in this life. The expression of the yogic life is a bit different for me as a young American woman, but nonetheless I seek its depths and love to share from my direct experience, to inspire, extend grace, and awaken wisdom. However, my style includes perhaps just a hint of goofiness! ;)

I must admit I relish my dharma in this life of straddling the worlds - to immerse myself in the seed sound of OM in the morning, and let my hair down and shake my booty to Ludacris in the evening, and retain a pure sense of Self through it all!
