Today is the day. 

In a few more hours, I shall be back on the mat at the head of a room guiding, adjusting, and perhaps impacting the overall well-being of others. It is a daunting endeavor, yet I feel that the Universe presented this opportunity for a reason and also in answer to my request. 

Some months ago, I put out there that I was ready to do more with my yoga and meditation. I also said that I would like to have more Italian lady-friends who are like-minded and closer to my place in life. Then, a few weeks later, I met my Pilates instructor–an Italian lady interested in yoga and meditation. If you ask, the Universe answers.

A mentor said to me recently the importance of also adding in, “and be gentle with your answers” when asking for something from the Universe because the responses can be full. 

So, here we are after a couple of months of anticipation and preparation. The sessions will be small today, so it is not a matter of the teaching itself. Really, it’s the awareness of responsibility I feel in offering my time and energy towards this kind of activity. At the same time, I am not that important nor is it that “deep” to stress about. 

There is a balance of trying to take certain activities seriously, which on the surface do not seem important, but when you dig deeper can have a great impact on a person. And, going with the flow so that one can be present in the moment.

A theme that keeps arising today is one of energy conservation and protection. Knowing that I am an introvert who preserves, reserves, and refreshes my energy within myself is a great source of comfort in allowing me to plan my days accordingly. It is important to ensure that I do not overextend or underestimate where my energy flows. Therefore, social time is being limited these days. Also, M is working on his physical health so we are eating differently so that he can keep his momentum. Of course, once I know how I feel after these sessions, I will be able to adjust my schedule accordingly.

Until then, we shall just go with ease.
