Everything happens for us not to us

I fell on the ice in Vermont and broke my elbow. Not a very exciting story and one quickly forgotten except for the minor inconveniences of being temporarily one armed. However I've been trying to be the observer of my existence lately and so I didn't get too involved with the story of having a broken arm and all I could not do and instead set my intention to heal fully at the pace my body needed. I went on with my life and watched. My yoga classes were blessedly full the week after my accident and I found myself teaching instead of doing yoga and I learned the value of not doing. I found my students were able to fully own the practice when they did not have me to watch and by watching take them out of their own bodies and experience. It is by keeping our eyes closed and truly taking all attention deep within one's being that Kundalini helps us grow in awarenss and grace. We learn to understand through compassion our own human condition and forgive ourselves. I know that everything that happens happens for us and now to us, it is a benevolent universe. Dwell in God and befriend your soul. If you live in a world you preceive to be lacking in peace, be peaceful. If your world is devoid of love, act lovingly.
Love, light and peace to all,
Sat Nam,
Trish
