I just read this great article...
I know a lot of you will be lost on the yoga references but I really think it has something to offer my friends as I am seeing a similarity in many of the communities that I find myself a part of.
The article is about a new development in the Anusara yoga community, where teachers are intentionally moving away from their "guru".
Its about taking a look at the power you give over to others. Its about how you wield your own power. Its about building the community around us with real tangible steps and taking care of each other. Its about the fear within ourselves, acknowledging boundaries and how in overcoming fear one can empower themselves, and be accountable not only to themselves but to the whole.
I see facets of all of these thoughts within my communities - in various stages, in various ways. Not sure what I'm talking about? Think about where the most drama in your life & that surrounding community. Think about where you get the most fulfillment in your life & that community. The interplay of community is everywhere. Still not obvious? Think about your city's Occupy movements. Some paths are unsustainable, and as humans we are made to come together. Partnerships & marriages, families, companies & corporations - I feel that these all can become one's tribe.
We are growing and changing each day as individuals. We simply cannot stay the same as a community and because the shifts that are happening around us are bringing us into an interdependent network, our choices are effecting the whole.
