A Blessing

Thank you, again, to everyone who has shared their practice with me, and expanded the sense of kindness and generosity in the world over recent months and years. I wish each of you a warm and wonderful holiday season, and will be thinking of you over Christmas and wishing you well.

I'm hoping to see you online. You can see live classes on the website under Courses, www.dalepearsonyoga.com, and register there. Each session will be followed up with a video so that you can practice whenever needed at your own leisure. We can keep this connection going, and send Metta into the world.

This past week we shared a heart opening practice and a Nahuatl Blessing that some of you have asked for, so here it is. Opening the heart includes ....kindness, respect, forgiveness, acceptance, understanding, and liberation. I wish all of these things for you.

I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed me. I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts. I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete.

I lack nothing in myself. I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time. I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today breathe life.

And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.

I honour them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence. I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence walking with the wisdom of the heart.

I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.

I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others. And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.

I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.

I respect and approve. I honor the Divinity in me and in you.

We are free.

With love and respect. Dale
