Im not going to miss my black beaded bracelet. For years, Ive had a black beaded bracelet. I liked it. I liked stacking it with other beaded bracelets of different colors and coordinating them with my outfits. Then yesterday I put only the black bracelet on, with the mindful intention to move it to my other wrist every time I felt anxious or worry. I wanted to simply to observe how abhinivesha shows up in my life. In a funny twist of divine intervention, yesterday was my class presentation for my yoga teaching certification - the culmination of the last 7 weeks of my life and the beginning of something new and powerful in my practice. I was REALLY nervous. I mustve switched the bracelet 10 times while I waited for my turn to present to my beautiful fellow trainees (of course I was LAST). When it was my turn I prayed a final prayer (of what mustve been a hundred), I started my music, and I gave the class everything I had. I didnt hold anything back. That bracelet, that Ive worn through flows forever and on that day symbolically attached it all of my fears, broke and scattered within minutes of the start of the first class Ive had the honor to ever lead. That black bracelet will always have a special place in my heart - as a sacrifice to anything that kept me playing small.
