be well

Last night after I posted about the "big storm" I went downstairs and turned on the tv. I flipped to The Weather Channel where they were taping from Mexico. At that moment I felt so helpless. I wondered what it must feel like for those people there...specifically in Tulum, just because I feel such a connection to that place. So I did the only thing I knew to do. I went to my yoga room, lit some incense that I purchased in Tulum, sat down in the dark, said some prayers did a meditation.

I didn't even try to quiet my mind in the beginning. I thought about all the people and the things about Tulum that I was so deeply touched by. I thought about the people that work at Maya Tulum. I envisioned Liz with her daughter sitting on her lap as she patiently helped me in checking out. I thought about Victor and our lovely conversations and how willing and able he was in making things right for our group. I thought about Megan and her warmth and kindness. I thought about Fabian and how much he resonated with me. And literally everyone I spoke to about him felt the same way. He had a way of really connecting to everyone that he worked with. I thought about all the other yogi's that know and love this place. I thought about the yogi's that are there right now for teacher training with Bryan Kest. I thought about all the people who haven't been to this special place, but it needs to be there in order for them to know and love it.

So then I let the thoughts go and my meditation went something like this:

Inhale, Be well

Exhale, Tulum

Inhale, Be well

Exhale, Megan (then I proceeded to go through all the names of people I met)

Inhale, Be well

Exhale, Nineteen (it was my cabana)

Inhale, Be well

Exhale, Beach

Inhale, Be Well

Exhale, Yoga Room

Inhale, Please

Exhale...Be well, be well, be well. I thought and dedicated goodness to everything I could recall (even the mangoes, yes I know...kinda silly).

Then I imagined something connecting myself from my yoga room to the beach that I meditated on at Maya Tulum. I didn't want to visualize just a straight line, so I envisioned a rainbow connecting us. Yes, corny as it may sound...that's just what I did. And I figured it was appropriate enough. A rainbow after the storm that would spread all over Mexcio, Tulum and the Mayan people.

Please send well wishes their way. Namaste.
