At the end of the yoga class I taught this weekend, I led everyone in one Om. The sound of Om always gives me goosebumps (in the good way!). It is said to be the sound of the Universe. But it is so much more than a sound. Its a feeling; a powerful vibration of all our shared energy. When chanted together in a group, our energies become one. At the end of practice this weekend, it felt as if the entire room shifted - rising and falling with the sound. Its evidence of how our energy, our souls, are connected. We are separated only by our physical bodies. Our very consciousness is part of the entire Universe. Skin and bone may shape what we look like on the outside but it is our energy and our spirit that defines who we are.
I try everyday to teach this to my daughter, to my students, and to remind myself to live by this. Its this understanding that gives me joy, faith, and peace. Its what reminds me that having faith is realizing that there is something more powerful, something bigger, and something greater beyond this life experience.
