New Beginnings
At my introduction to Vedic meditation class this past weekend in Atlanta, I totally lucked out. Not only did 15 people come, on a sunny summer Sunday afternoon, to learn more about Vedic meditation, but they asked the most AMAZING questions.
You do you
I’m on vacation now with my family- we are all staying together in a lovely beach house in Hilton Head. My niece and nephew are with us- twin almost-11 year-olds, and they are the loves of my life. It’s funny, though, how being around almost-11 year olds can remind us of some of our own childish behaviors that have survived into our adult lives…
Drama
Our society is obsessed with drama. We’re drama junkies. Even (especially) those of us who proclaim that we hate drama and want nothing to do with it. We see it all the time- friends who always date the wrong kind of person, gossipy co-workers, people who party too much and regret choices they’ve made. We see it in the news, in tabloids, in the entertainment industry. We see it everywhere but within ourselves.
Surrender!
As I mentioned in my last post, we did a LOT of meditation during my teacher training in India. Several themes came up for me during all of that meditation and self-reflection, and one of the most prevalent was the concept of surrender.
What's your narrative?
During my 12-week Vedic Meditation teacher training in India, we did a lot of meditation, and, by extension, a lot of soul-searching. Throughout the training, one theme that kept resurfacing for me was narratives. They fascinate me.
