Days/weeks/months/years of living in a trance-like state of being, in a personal life that was unfulfilling seems like a very long time ago. I felt so lost.  It is humbling to be in this same body and feel more radiant, more blessed, emotionally healthier and with an even stronger sense of purpose than I felt in what was really, not THAT long ago.

I am more accepting of my flaws and mistakes. I am NOT free of my self-criticisms and doubts all the time, but I AM free!  I am free from that sad, lonely, frustrated me that was locked inside my mind, screaming to get out.  Finally, I saw the light pouring under the door, I simply turned the key...and walked out.

Yoga teaches me that if I want to FREE MYSELF, if I want to become STRONGER, more EVOLVED, more beautiful in my spirit then I MUST keep unlocking doors.  Yoga teaches me that I am radiant, even when I forget. I sit in front of my sacred objects.  I unroll my mat and dive into the shrine of my heart.  And it is THERE, in my HEART that I rememberthat I can look around, I can look at everything, I can look at YOU...and see myself.

I am radiant
I am beautiful
I am blessed
I am humbled
I am encouraged
I am supported
I am loved
I am.  I just AM.

Sincerely,

Shani
