Sea of convergence

From the moment of our birth, our bodies are affected by the lives we live. There is a convergence of information and energy that comes together inside of us. Circumstances, decisions, accidents, and intentions all influence who we are. They form us as certainly as we are were physically formed inner mother's womb. It is impossible to separate us from our experiences.   

These converging histories comprise a wide array of informational energies that are absorbed by our system. Every minute in our life, from watching a movie to riding a bicycle or practicing yoga, has an influence on our being. All of the events have a certain energetic, physical and emotional quality that impact and. become part of our physical body. Our bodies store all that happen to us--the positive, the negative, the brilliant, the devastating and everything in between.

Our converging histories make us exactly who we are in THIS moment. Some of those histories happened to us; we had no conscious control over them. Some of them we chose; we consciously added them to our life experiences. Every moment we live, we choose experiences, activities and relationships that become part of our own sea of convergence....of converging histories. They become part of us. Then our histories converge with those converging in another as we step into relationship with life partners, friends, children, acquaintances. 

We are all on our own path untangling our own mess individually, yet collectively.  We each need to remember this. We need to really make an effort to be present in our life and with each other. Be brave to ask for help. Be authentic and share our vulnerabilities. Be present to ask those deeper questions when we see those we are in relationship with not at their best....or downright hurting...struggling.

We we all need to remember is our willingness to listen to others is a direct correlation to our ability to listen to God. This practice...this amazing and sacred yoga practice....is teaching us to listen--listen for God and to each other in seas of convergence.

Onward and upward.
