Before the bloom—the beautiful flower and fragrance that we appreciate—an opening must occur. Every bloom requires letting go. We all know this. And yet, it is human nature to focus on the bloom and forget about the transformation that preceded it.

The spiritual life requires tending. Weeding out self-limiting beliefs and non-useful behaviors, setting good boundaries around people or circumstances that deplete our energy or distract us from our primary purpose, making sure we include the life-giving waters of spiritual study and daily exposure to the light of the soul in superconscious meditation are all necessary practices to harvest a healthy, harmonious, happy life.

There are many things in life that we cannot change or control but we do have the power to transform our minds and our experience of life. We can become more patient, kind, insightful and compassionate.

Our spiritual practice allows us to see with fresh eyes. Seeing clearly is seeing things and people as they are, not as we hope or think they should be.

One of the errors we commonly make is to see through the filter of our memory and superimpose the past on the present. Removing that conceptual overlay is one of the goals of yoga practice. To be spiritually awake is to see things as they are, not as we are.
