Radical Self-Love

A Path of Radical Self-Love
by Angi Donovan
Seattle Yoga Arts Teacher

Ever since I can remember I have felt a subtle weight of self doubt on my heart pulling and tethering back the richness of my soul. Along the way and indirectly I was told that there was a wrong and a right way to be and that the inherent me needed a filter. There were parts of me that I should love and parts of me that I shouldn’t. Sometimes this filter has been thick and sometimes thin yet for the most part it has always been there, a net just between my face’s surface and the deep everything of who I am.

I do not believe I am alone in this. It seems that most of humanity itself, culture to culture, has been living in agreement that we should limit what we show to the world, an unsaid yet abided by list of acceptable and unacceptable human expressions. Yet is it possible that it is the covered-up ways of being that bring us closest together and the most feared that teach us the deepest ways of love and compassion?

I have seen this discussion opening up more and more and our hidden selves, now heart-clinchingly bare, living right alongside the unquestionable beauty of our soul’s veracity. There has never been a better time to stand for and live into our truth. We have nothing to lose from freeing our souls and everything to gain. I feel clearly now all the way into my bones that it is EVERY piece of the whole that creates the brilliance and vitality of life!

This January 2013 I invite you into a wildly honest conversation about opening to the truth of our hearts without reservation so that we may begin to know the power of being exactly who we are. Let us dive deep into the courageous act of radical ALL-inclusive self-love and with each moment, may we come to know more and more the gifts of the raw and unspoken!

From the belly of my untethering soul I offer you these classes:
Source Yoga North Tacoma: Tues./Thurs. 9:30am Basic Flow & Wed. 9:30am Refine & Align; Source Yoga UP: Wednesdays 7pm Relax & Restore; and Seattle Yoga Arts: Sundays 8:30am Essentials and 10:15am Deepening.

See you there!!!
Love and Light,
Angi
