There is No Nurturing Others Until You Have Nurtured Yourself, says Marianne Williamson
I attended a conference at Kripalu titled “Nurturing the Spirit in Youth” many years back. Marianne Williamson was one of the speakers and she told us that there was no nurturing anyone until we have nurtured ourselves. It was from her at this conference that I learned the Heart Meditation I share with our students in our trainings.
Following her advice, after my Wednesday kids classes at Bloom Yoga Studio, I stayed for Dori’s class. It’s so much fun. She teaches Anusara style Yoga and has a sweet funkiness to herself and the music she plays. Then, I treated myself to a Thai massage from Julia. Aaahhhh. I felt so nurtured. And I felt in love. I thought, “I’m falling in love.”  And who I am falling in love with is all my girlfriends. I feel so empowered right now by the righteous women in my life. Each one is a true gift and I feel like I am in a palace full of treasures. Deepest thanks, and deepest Namaste.
