True transformation flows best from full immersion. It’s like a marinade. Or the cooking process. Full immersion in the marinade and/or the heat transforms the ingredients into something different, and usually much better.

With deep breaths and mindfulness. With presence. With curiosity. With self-compassion. With loving-kindness and compassion towards others. Noticing the transitions.

A few months ago, I wrote about transitions as we moved into spring. Life is full of transitions. My intention then and my invitation to all of you was to focus on pausing and being present for the transitions.

This was the theme of my yoga class tonight. It is turning into spring in California and my yoga class is held around sunset. I myself am also going through a big life transition.
