We had just completed a five day intensive retreat, dealing with our growth as individuals and as a collective on beautiful Kauai, Hawaii. Having spent 5 intense days together, moving into familiar and unfamiliar places within ourselves and each other, there was a sense of deep connection to each other and of sweet love, support and acceptance. We had all been touched by the community that had developed and now the time to part was nearing. The final integration session in which we each shared and internalized our experiences had taken six hours as we were a large group.
I recognized a sense of uncomfortable open-endedness arising inside of me, an uncomfortable yet familiar sense of uncertainty. I did not know where I would be staying for the next four days, yet I did know who I would be with. I could feel myself falling into a familiar yet irritating pattern of asking people repeatedly where they would be. I knew this to be a very needy place and it made me frustrated and sad. A dear friend had even pointed it out the previous day and I knew it to be true. I really wanted to learn how to overcome this irritating way of expressing myself, both for myself and others.
It was now one day later and I am settled into my next place I am staying here in Paradise, this time as a one of the facilitators and participants at a yoga retreat, on the same lovely island. I can now realign myself to the task at hand and to devote my attention to it. It was now time to help weave a new community so that people would feel supported and contained which would facilitate the openness and the self examination they each wanted to achieve.
The retreat was beautiful, with my friend leading the deepest, core essence yoga I have ever experienced with love and precision. It was apparent that she comes from a very different kind of yogic background than I have ever been exposed to and I am very grateful.
So now, I am at the home of dear friends in Pasadena, California for a few days of relaxation and reconnection. I am examining my transition challenges and will take them into my self-examination practice.
If you would like to explore how to do this for yourself, I welcome you to a 30 minute complementary “Soul Discovery, Soul Recovery” session, then please click on the link and we will set it up: http://box5656.temp.domains/~rhondaea/contact-us/
Wishing you easy transitions,
Love and Blessings,
Rhonda Joy
