Between the Known and the Unknown

The path of the heart is the middle path between contrary compliments. We are not good or bad, light or dark, brilliant or dull. We are not only male or female, but have attributes of both often with one dominating.  This concept is the key to Shiva Shakti Tantra and it is a path we walk in order to recognize ourselves along the way.

When we have a great deal that is known in our life, we feel confidence, stability, continuity while the unknown provides a fertile bed for the seeds of chaos, mistrust and fear to grow. The trick is to balance to recognize the unknown as the alluring mystery and the known as the stable place we leap from and return back to.

The more you know, the more you don't know. Engaging myself in this new Davenport School of Yoga Bettendorf is a bit of the known and the unknown. I know I am surounded by truly wonderful teachers and students. We all don't know if the community will support it by showing up and receiving the gifts we offer at every class, but I hope so. It has been a thrill to see so many familiar faces coming into the studio. I look forward to seeing you again this week. 

Perhaps this Deember, you will find the balance you need as your life gets busy. My wish for you is that you are so familiar with your still calm center- that not even a gale force wind of can blow you off your path.
Namaste,
