The heart is where everything begins.
|
The explosives that blow up our lives can be found within us.
|
But it is also in that grounded place,
|
in each of us… our heart's alchemy,
|
that we can turn suffering into community,
|
conflict into the energy of creativity,
|
and tension into an opening towards the common good.
|
Here we can meet our fears courageously,
|
rediscover that we are members of one another,
|
embrace conflicts that threaten us as opportunities and openings,
|
to bridge the divide within us,
|
and revitalise our lives.
|
To live undivided in the midst of a divided world,
|
you need to listen to and heed the voice of the Inner Teacher
|
and to follow her guidance towards selfhood and service,
|
no matter how challenging the terrain.
|
you can carry yourself towards
|
a more attentive relationship with your deeper Truth.
|
May I remind you of what, deep down, you have always known…
|
that there is nothing wrong with you,
|
and that you are loved beyond words, always,
|
just as you are, in this moment.
|
Come out of the story of your life,
|
and take a fresh look at your present experience.
|
Never forget the blessing
|
it is to open your eyes each morning.
|
knowledge cannot be given.
|
For the Absolute to manifest Itself,
|
Just breathe and discover the ocean of who you really are.

Darshan is the blessing that arises from 'spiritual seeing'. Come and join us on Monday afternoons (during school terms) at 1-2 pm, when, our community of Yoga and Ayurvedic students, teachers and friends come together to develop a measure of mutual trust that frees us to speak and to hear buried yearnings and heartfelt concerns, fears, and hopes. We learn to listen to each another, encouraging one another to speak and ask sincere and respectful questions. Here differences are not ignored, but neither are they confronted in combat. We reconnect with who we are and what we do, so that individuals can grow together with a larger, emergent truth.
