......the perfect diamond

Yogis,

I have a little practice for you to do this week (I first typed ‘try to do’ but caught myself).  If you are reading this in a public place, go ahead and read through, but then come back again later when you are alone.

Take your right hand and place it in the center of the chest, down at the level of the heart. Then lay your left hand on top. Bow your chin down slightly, close your eyes and shift your inner gaze down to that spot. Feel the breath passing through there. Soften. Oh, there you are.

This sacred space is home to Anahata chakra and is where ‘you’ live. Say hello to ‘you’ and stay for a few minutes. Reconnect. No rush……

You know the you that I am referring to. The one that hasn’t changed since you were a young child. The you that is quiet, calm and doesn’t judge. The you that longs to be seen but is rarely fully exposed for fear of being hurt or not being enough.

When you point to yourself, this is naturally where the hand goes. You don’t point to your head, because you are not your mind (as hard as the mind tries to market that idea to you). No…..you are found much deeper. A perfect diamond buried beneath life’s layers.

Like the diamond in the ground, it takes desire, digging, unearthing and polishing to bring it back to its natural radiance, day after day, week after week, year after year. The consistent housekeeping within that only you can do to sweep away the self-doubt, the worry and the pain to allow 'you' to shine. To light your way, with the mind begrudgingly taking the back seat.

Do this practice every day this week for 2 to 3 minutes. Feel what’s there. Listen. Get reacquainted. I would love to hear anything you notice.

You are a unique spark of the divine. You are perfect. You are enough……  

Feeling my heartbeat,
SARAH

PS. Please allow March to be March. Don't ask her to behave like April. She is perfect. She is enough....
