August 9, 2023: Understanding our Karma — Transforming our Life
Sally’s last teaching course was called “Karma & Transformation.” Our teacher was giving us one huge parting gift. Sally really wanted us to understand life’s most important concept, karma, so we can taste real freedom and joy. This is what I understood from her:
We are called to understand our karma, the story of our life, as a way to break free from our bondage. Understanding comes from seeing our karmic patterns with clarity and compassion. In the most positive and uplifting way we are called to come face to face with our difficulties, vasana, in Sanskrit and in Greek, our recurring patterns that obstruct our happiness and stop us from completely loving and accepting ourselves. The greatest gift of being born on planet earth is the freedom to act.
Through present day action we can break free of karmic habits and transform. But how are we to act with clarity?
Sally often quoted the Bhagavad Gita which points to the answer: “Clear vision, or clear understanding leads to clear action.”
Seeing clearly is becoming intimate with the truth of our heart. By remembering the way back to the heart, where the highest truth resides in the form of our Beloved Divine Self, we become free and joyful.
An extraordinary immersion such as this becomes a joyous uplifting journey through the heavenly music of Gaiea Sanskrit and Antaratma — Thodoris Hiotis. Let our conversations bring to the surface our karmic obstacles so they can be embraced and dissolved by our circle of sharing.
The exquisite nature of Zen Rocks, resembling heaven indeed, the comfortable setting and heart-warming care of the community, along with delicious soothing food and many healing elements will set the ground for our “big welcome.”
Let this journey of music and mantras, tantric meditations, embodied movement, and deep sharing become a celebration, a mourning ritual, a time to re-connect and re-member the beloved souls in our lives, here and beyond, and to come in touch with the Beloved residing within us at all times.
