Let's Dance

I had an amazing experience yesterday. I went to my first Kundalini yoga and meditation class. It was at a place called Golden Bridge, right across the street from the greatest movie theater in the universe. I gotta tell you, it was truly one of the coolest experiences in my adult life. It began in an unexpected way. The teacher played some amazing Indian music, which filled the room with a sultry, rhythmic sensibility. We were encouraged to move any way we felt necessary as the music played. As my mind slowly let go of feeling too aware of myself, I found myself dancing with pure, unadulterated joy, finally not caring how it would look to anyone else. For at that very moment, I realized I've spent far too much time and energy in my life worrying about what others think of me. Now I realize it's one thing to say that last sentence, and an entirely different thing to actually LIVE by it. But I'll just add it to the shopping cart I've started filling lately. I like all the new stuff going on in my mind, my life, myself. This new adventure, however, my latest open door, is something I feel totally ready to take on...to breathe in, to let go, to BE. Now I can't wait until next weekend when I can go back and dance like a madman again. What a strange journey this life is, if you pay close enough attention.
Truly good things I wish to all who read this. Thank you all for your continued support.

I KNOW that was outside your normal comfort zone...and I'm so proud of you for busting through those mental boundaries. You are really ruling yourself now!
