I am a licensed and ordained minister in a non-denominational church who recently began to practice yoga merely as a form of exercise to improve my health. Needless to say, I began this journey looking for one thing and found so much more than I anticipated. My eyes and heart have been opened to receive so much, it just amazes me. I am so excited about the truths that I am learning but sometimes feel as though when I WOULD share some of these thoughts with others it will not be well received. I understand that there is a place in time where we move beyond feelings and emotions, but at this point it still hurts that the people I consider family are not as accepting as they claim “the church” is supposed to be. I guess this isn’t really a question as much as a request for encouragement. 🙂
