I've been thinking about Dharma. Dharma is your life's purpose, or what you are called to do. It can change over time, but when you are in a place where what you are doing aligns with your purpose then life feels fulfilling and easy. Like that saying "choose a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." So I have been thinking about this and where I am at in my life. For more than a decade I have been working with kids with special needs, and I loved it. But I am feeling a new calling, I feel like my purpose is changing. I've been busy connecting with kids who are misunderstood, but now I feel the need to connect with others.
These are the people I want to connect with now. I want the people who don't want to go to a yoga studio who feel they will be judged. I want the people who think they are in too bad of shape. I want the people to yearn to be with others in a safe place where they can laugh and connect. I want the people who are aching to feel competent and strong in their own skin. It took me a long time to feel comfortable going to a yoga studio and to not hide at the back of the class. But when you get to that place, it is liberating.
I want the people who crave a small amount of time carved out just for them to be. I want the people who need a space to just be themselves with no expectations placed on them. I want to connect with each and every one of you and have discussion and not just a physical practice. This is my why. I want to share what I found on my mat, and how it changed me. And I want everyone to feel that way, no matter what their previous experiences. Everyone deserves it.
So Dharma changes. And I am having to be okay with changing too, I have to give myself permission to follow my purpose. What is it in your life that you are called to do? Is crystal clear to you, or are you still searching to find that purpose? Are you living it, or have you never thought about it? How can you bring yourself closer to finding that purpose? I don't have all the answers, I just know when what I am doing is no longer in alignment with my purpose, that I can feel.
