The Flavor of Life...

Sorry for getting the newsletter out so late tonight. Blame those ladies in the picture with me, my friends from high school.

During this time of grief, the silver lining has been to reconnect with old friends and know that they are holding me in their hearts. Time and distance doesn't have an ill effect on true friendships. I am blessed to have the opportunity to rekindle these relationships with such a sensational group of women!

This brings me to what I am currently studying with my teacher, Douglas Brooks: the rasas. Rasas are best described as the flavor of life, the sensation of sensation. They are something that is not discovered but instead is uncovered.

Rasa is that feeling of awe that you have when you look at a piece of art whether it is visual or performing. It is that thing that unites humanity in this shared experience of life. Rasa deepens our yogic practice by inviting us to participate in the wholeness of humanity -- the joy and the sorrow so that we can understand our shared heart and soulfulness.
