What you are seeking is seeking you ~ Rumi
We are standing here on the cusp of a new decade with a fraction of time to reflect on the year that has passed and to pause and consider what we would like to see manifest for ourselves in the New Year. Maybe this New Year, and New decade will provide us with the clarity of 20/20 vision to discern what it is we truly seek?
What where your goals of the past month? The past year? The past decade? Did you achieve some of them, all of them, none of them? If not, why not ? Did your focus slip? Did distractions step in? Did you realize what you were seeking, wasn’t the real deal, or wasn’t right for you, or you sought it and it found you and you ran a mile?
Rumi endorsed that: What you are seeking is seeking you. So if we fail to attract what we want and what we seek, is it because we lost focus, or did we strive too hard and missed the signs? Did our intent on outcome actually distance us from the goal?
Often the reason that our goals stand unfulfilled is our inability to truly pause and listen. Listen to the beating of our own deep heart. Listen to our breath. Listen to the birdsong, the wind in the grass, the songlines of country. Did we really listen when we were in the depths of despair, or did we hide from it? Did we fully indulge our senses in the sweetness of life, or did we gulp it down and then took flight in search of the next sweet thing?
To be a seeker requires discipline. It requires consistent checking in. It requires us to shape change and to be accepting of outcomes, whatever their character.
Yoga provides us with the perfect entry point to step into our “Seeker sneakers” and uncover what it is that makes our heart sing, whilst providing a map for which to plot the route. You won’t get there if you don’t start walking. You won’t find it if you don’t start looking. Pack your passion, your commitment, your attention, your inquisitive mind and the tribe that best reflects you and step into the decade as a Seeker, to awaken that which is seeking you.
