Change is good

Change. We tend to react one of two ways to change. We can either become tense, hard, opposed, and stressed or we can embrace, soften, and even become malleable under the weight of change. There is the possibility of a third reaction of indifference which seldom happens, at least seldom in my experiences. We are too opinionated most of the time to be indifferent or uncaring when change occurs.

I have been subconsciously resisting some shifts lately. It has caused me slight suffering, boredom, and loneliness. The changes I have recently experienced are fairly dramatic, but I have also had similar reactions to seemingly simple occurrences. The awareness of this recent opposition has allowed me to transform, to move and bend more freely. Quite literally, the awareness came from moving and bending. I have had a dedicated daily yoga practice now for a week. Yoga has truly allowed me to embrace, love, and wrap change up around me like a blanket. Every time I get on the mat I am allowing myself to be completely present in the now. In the here and now space, resistance is non-existent. This is the space of great growth, love and openness. Change is good.
