Fullness

Last night was a full moon, but its brief visit was obscured by the rare clouds here. It's with that full moon in mind that I write this post.

This morning I went to a new yoga class, at a studio I've never been to, with an instructor I haven't been to before. I'm in an exploration mode so this is happening quite frequently lately. So how do yoga and the full moon relate? Exactly!

During the first parts of the class, Kirsten, the instructor, brought the full moon to our attention. (I will try to bring her eloquence and simplicity here.) She was reminding us that the moon is always full - it's always fully there. Most of the time only part of it is bathed in light from the sun, but if we look we can distinguish the full globe.

It's the same with us as humans. We are fully here all the time. And parts of us can be hidden in shadows or light we haven't shined around corners in awhile. Kirsten was encouraging us to use the time with yoga today to remember our fullness and embrace all that we are. I liked the analogy and the reminder, it stuck with me all day.

Here's to you - and hoping you remember your fullness!
