キノ・マクレガ―のインスタグラム(kinoyoga) - 7月6日 07時40分

Real deep true personal growth work is hard. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines and critique, but it’s something else entirely to step into the court and put yourself on the line. It takes effort to build something up, and even more effort to pick up broken pieces and rebuild faith and hope. It is not always evident from the outside looking in what is happening deep down inside. There is work that is often being done that remains private, personal and unspoken. Some steps along the path are to be walked in solitude and silence, without a friend or a guide, without anyone there to cheer you on. It takes grit to keep going when you hit what feels like a rock bottom. I know because I’ve been there. Actually, I am sure most of us have been there too and perhaps in both positions—as the critic sitting safely on the sidelines tearing down others who appear to be getting it all wrong and as the struggling soul trying desperately to find the way through a messy time.

Compassion is the wisdom to know that you have been there, or that you may one day be there too. Compassion comes from allowing the depth of suffering to mold your heart into a sanctuary for all. Judgement comes from a hardened heart, a heart that weaponizes suffering in a violent act of separation. We are all stumbling forward with varying degrees of elegance. I am not here to judge anyone, but I am here to sit with you, so that we may come out of our misery together, so that we may find joy in the unlikely promise of love.

No matter how small an act of love feels, every action done is love is a miracle.

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

aubrey_birds This is so on point accurate. I am at the height of my health, happiness, and fulfillment although I’ve lost and/or let go of everything that I thought mattered to me during or after emerging from a very turbulent Kundalini Awakening. The suffering that went on that no one has a clue of would bring the strongest of the strong to their knees. The monumental achievement of ensuring and survive that without bringing others into the raging night will not be acknowledged, that kind of hell on earth is inconceivable. And yet, the sweet freedom, it’s beyond worth it now. It can also bring its own form of loneliness as there is no way to, and no way I would elect to, reverse the direction of such a deep and radical and rather rapid transformation. It’s hard to recognize my own old self, much less have most people that were in my life meet and accept me as the being that’s unfolding now. Maybe I’m projecting, but it’s as if I can sense that severely honest and heavy humility that comes as a result of ensuring spiritual torture that’s experienced during an encounter with the darkness. Especially the line that mentions allowing the depth of your suffering to mold your heart resonated with me, as once I just surrendered to practically a lifetime of trauma, and recent adulthood trauma, it was agony and intolerable, but depleted of inner resources, what else could I do? Untold suffering. That’s pretty brave to bare yourself and be so open and transparent, in a less than understanding world sometimes. I wouldn’t have dared it. Much respect for even in suffering, being of service. That is the grace of a yogi. ?

elkanaezekiel It's very generous and humble of you to share your struggles and pain because it reminds us that like us you too are human. Looking at your smiling face and perfect asanas you seem like a real goddess. Yet to read your posts makes it clear that we are all on the same journey but only at different points along the way. God bless you with strength and courage always.

gredinadarya Thank you, so much, Kino. You speach flows from heart to heart directly. I can't guess how all this wisdom comes from you. Everytime I think you already said so much helpfull true things, so there is nothing else to say, maybe, you amaze me with something new. Talking about something extremely important right at right time.

zen.rider You nail my life and insight every post for 6 years. Will you come to Calgary Alberta Canada ever? I was in Ontario. Moved to BC in hopes to see you. You were in Toronto shortly after. Washington is close ish to Vancouver Island where I was. And now In Calgary. Unlikely you would come here. But thought I’d post to ask

valerie_davide Elegant and mess are words I love together. When people say to others "you're making a mess of yourself" I wish they could be answered "I am broken and it's more beautiful than your life when you think you're fine" :) I wish all of you a wonderful weekend!

greenholler This post is amazing... I would love to come to one of your sessions in DC and am recovering from cervical spine surgery so I need to take things slow. Would any of the sessions be appropriate?
