Greetings from Tuscany!
Dear Friends,
Sending out greetings to you all from our base camp in Tuscany! I'm here visiting my family, including a new grandson, through May 22. It's really exciting and I'm so happy to be able to be here at this special time!
For the first time in 18 months Bruce and I are traveling. We arrived six days ago and although we were on a “Covid Free” flight it was also necessary to quarantine. And, while we missed seeing friends and family for 5 days, this time has turned out to be a blessing. We’ve been able to turn inward, take walks, sleep, cook, and have time for yoga and meditation. It’s been so important to let our energy replenish, because more than we consciously knew, we were running on empty.
All around us we can see the countryside coming to life and we can feel all that potential energy supporting us. And paradoxically, this new life has also made us think about the limited time we have on earth, and what we want next for ourselves. We're listening to our hearts instead of our heads about the what the path ahead might be.
I’m struck by what a very uncomfortable process it can be to slow down. There’s a physical “off gassing” of all this stress. I can see I've been in a state of hyper-vigilance for the last year, and it’s taking some time to let go of that pattern. To stay still and let all this junk leave is not easy. For us, even though we didn’t lose loved ones, it was a brutal year, and we are incredibly grateful Bruce stayed healthy while working in the hospital.
Letting go of the accumulated fear and anxiety is what’s needed now. This slowing down right now feels like a kind of essential life support. Without it we’d just continue to struggle along in depletion.
Over this quarantine I've had time to reflect on the losses of the last year: the loss of physical contact, of so many opportunities, of a feeling of stability and safety. And there are still so many losses that I’m not yet able to name. And, I know that through loss evolution happens. It’s how we grow. So much has been brought to light, around our health, racism, and the health of our democracy, it’s a time of incredible transformation.
I'm looking forward to connecting with you all after 2 weeks off, and to practicing together again! I'll begin live-stream yoga classes from Tuscany starting May 3d! It's so much easier to do yoga and meditation with community support.
Check out the programs I'm offering this year to support growth and transformation!
