...Mother Teresa said that. I've been thinking in my own practice what this means to me specifically and on THIS day, it means setting aside "my position" and loving enough to set my pain aside so that I can bring forth the compassion for someone else's.
On Monday, I was gifted with perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience a private blessing with and BY an actual Tibetan Buddhist monk. The entire ritualistic blessing lasted about 30 minutes where I was chanted over, cleansed in body, speech, and mind, in the physical and subtle body and asked to exhale any negativities I carried in any area of my being into clay for it to be washed away as blessed water poured off of my head and into nothingness. Words cannot explain the experience but I studied this Lama's face deeply; I wanted to remember him in my heart as he meditated on mine and my wellbeing all in the name of Vajravidarin, a Tantric healing ritual. In the end I was given blessed seeds and a wearable offering that His Holiness himself, the Dali Lama blessed. It was a very precious experience...
I am preparing for a few local benefits that I am a part of, the first happening very soon, May 20. It's going to be a collective of local teachers getting together and rocking the house in the name of the Cambodian Children's Fund. I will be getting the Chanting and guitar portion on and I just know this event is going to be such a blast and a union of amazing energies! Lululemon is a sponsor and my sweet girlfriends over there have such a big part in bringing us all together.... big BIG love and hugs to you ladies! I am so proud to work with and know you all! :x
