Life Journey

I just had a lovely visit with my dear friend. She is ready to embark on a great adventure and I am so excited for her. She is already a healer and, at the age of 32, is going to enroll in school to up-level her healing abilities. I have no doubt she will be successful in meeting her goal of sharing what she is learning and empowering others to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

My friend truly inspires me because in Yoga and Vedic teaching we encounter this notion of dharma. It’s often translated as “duty” which makes me say, “Ugh.” But fortunately it has other meanings too: “teaching,” “that which is established,” “morality,” “justice,” “good works,” and “devotion.” What I’ve learned about Sanksrit is that when a word has many meanings, it's an important concept that we need to pay attention to!

In the conversation with my friend, dharma carried the meaning of “life path,” “calling,” or “vocation.” Isn’t it wonderful when we know we are on the right path? Wouldn’t we be ready to do just about anything to fulfill that life path? Would we move across the country, go back to school and take a pay cut? Yes, yes, and yes.

The reason we practice Yoga, meditate, journal and reflect on the course of our life is so that we can know our dharma and do our dharma to the best of our ability. What we discover is that the Universe has our back when we set our course and start out on that journey. In fact, we can always look up to see the North Star which symbolizes our life goal. No matter what goes on around us that Star is always beckoning us to stay the course.

This week is a good week to reflect on these questions in light of the August 1st Aquarius Super Moon: Where am I going? How am I going to get there? Who is here to support me along the way? Let’s enjoy the trip!
