Boundaries vs. Barriers

This is beautiful Bodega Bay in California, a rocky inlet of the Pacific Ocean.  It was a spectacular, powerful place that hosted part of my workshop on deepening our ability to listen to and sense the world around and within us.  I learned so much there, but one of the most powerful lessons concerned witnessing and being witnessed with pure presence and how it helps us to form healthy boundaries rather than destructive barriers with the world around us.  Doesn't our world need more of that?!

We talk about our "Inner Witness" frequently in yoga.  One of the great goals of our practice is to develop the capability of sitting in our center to find that mindful inner awareness devoid of judgement and attachments to story.  It's a practice, as in we have to keep practicing because it's hard!  Our lives are full of emotional pulls that keep us mired in the stories.  Our physical experiences, fed by and feeding those emotional reactions, are really compelling. 

But one of the benefits of developing our witnessing capabilities is that it helps us to form healthy boundaries--rather than destructive barriers that keep us cut off from our own deepest Truth and productive and fulfilling interactions with the world.  

This is such an essential skill --one our world desperately needs--that I am prioritizing sharing HOW to do this.  I've got a free seminar introducing some of the concepts on Oct. 4 and the 3-hour workshop on October 18.  Check out www.fundamentalyoga.net/special-events.html for more information about the events.
