Coming HÖM

Who we see is rarely who we are. We are complex. We are storied.  We are wounded. We are healed. We are works in progress. We are works of art.  In 2011 life as I thought I knew it changed.

I was devastated. But I had no choice but to understand why this single event in the workplace hurt me so much. And I started to work “in” myself.  I realized that while that single event was not my fault, I had, over time, been practicing for that moment by letting life live me, rather than by living my life.

I remember the day that I knew that life as I was living it had become unsustainable. There were signs. But I ignored them and traded them for a paycheque and a corner office. 

Life gives us signs. And when we ignore them, they become louder. Our health is affected. Our bodies are compromised. Our soul suffers.

“On that day, I fell from the sky and began to fade to white.” 

And so I had no choice but to focus on myself, and I have been every day since then.  All steps are a step toward the unknown. And as they say, doors that close lead to doors that open.  

The truth is we are all guessing in this life, and if we are fortunate, we can hear the voice inside of us that guides us. 

For me, accessing that voice and awareness requires space and distance from the noise of life.  And so my yoga practice as both a student and a teacher has helped me access that awareness. 

Sometimes I think - who do I think I am, that I think I can be of service to others in this way.  I can only share what I have learned myself in my yoga practice as teacher moving bodies since 2011, and has a student of life. 

I created this space that I call HÖM as a part of ZÖE to share and to learn.  If you are interested in joining me, please DM me.
