I've been spending a lot of time contemplating freedom & Independance. We have so much of it in this country yet it is often misused and taken advantage of. What defines freedom ? Are we ever truly free ?
Are we living under the illusion that we are free ?
If we did have complete freedom how would we live, what would we do ?
just questions.
Through meditation we can achieve liberation and freedom regardless of our physical circumstances.
I jusy watched a great movie called The Lost City about Castro's Communist Revolution in Cuba, a great reminder of the freedoms we do have in the U.S. and how important it is not to take them for granted, not for a second. With freedom comes great responsibility. May we all continue to strive towards right action and peace.
Happy Independance Day !

Reflecting on powerful questions help me get real. Sharing a busy Beach Yoga class today gave me the chance to pose the question to my visiting yogi's - Can you be on the beach? The house is rented, the sunscreen is on and you're in the sand chair - are you free to be where you are?
Celebrate independance from the distractions of cell phones and parties later in the day. The fireworks go off when you are in the moment fully. Toast to that when you crack open a Corona and squeeze your lime!
Maybe if we create our own personal freedom with ourselves we can work towards universal freedom in the world we share. Wishing you sunny days this summer ~~~
