What if the life that broke your heart was only breaking open the door back to yourself?

The Bhagavad Gītā teaches that creation rises, dissolves, rests, and eventually returns. Nothing within this world was meant to remain unchanged forever, including the seasons of our own lives.

This wisdom also appears in Hexagram 24 of the I Ching, Fu, meaning Return. Like the winter solstice, it marks the moment when darkness reaches its deepest point and the light quietly begins to return.

But the return cannot be rushed.

Sometimes we lose the relationship, friendship, home, purpose, or identity we desperately tried to keep. Everything familiar changes, and we wonder how we will ever find ourselves again.

Yet night is not the failure of day. Winter is not the death of life. An ending does not mean your story is over.

Darkness may be the sacred pause where you grieve what was, gather the pieces of yourself you abandoned, and remember who you were before you began shrinking to keep everything else alive.

Our work is not to have everything figured out. It is to keep breathing through the uncertainty, loosen our grip, and trust that something within us is still growing even when nothing appears to be happening.

Perhaps peace begins when we stop begging life to remain as it was and trust that what is meant for us will never require us to abandon ourselves.

The darkest point is not where the story ends.

It is where the light begins its return.

Beneath everything coming and going, the eternal remains.

So do you.

Lately, I have been grieving more than I know how to name: the people, places, purpose, and pieces of myself that no longer feel the same. Life has been coming in waves, and some have taken more from me than I thought I could bear.

Grief is not a clean or graceful process. It arrives without warning, circles back when you think you have moved forward, and asks you to feel what you would rather avoid. It can leave you shattered one moment and strangely lighter the next. Grief is not only mourning what has been lost. It is also the slow, sacred release of what your soul can no longer carry. As messy as it is, there is freedom in finally allowing yourself to loosen your grip and let go.

The water reminds me: no wave stays, no tide remains still, and no darkness can hold back the light forever. Perhaps this season is not here to destroy me, but to wash away what I can no longer carry and return me to myself.

So I will keep breathing. I will keep choosing hope, even when it is quiet. The tide will turn, the light will return, and this too shall pass. 🤍

Earth is known in yogic philosophy as Pṛthvī tattva, the densest of the five great elements. It is the principle of solidity, structure, weight, and physical form, the element that gives the body its bones, muscles, tissues, strength, and stability. Earth is connected to Mūlādhāra, the root chakra, and to the sense of smell.

The downward-pointing triangle crossed by a horizontal line is the Western alchemical symbol for Earth. The descending triangle represents energy moving downward into matter, while the line reflects stability and the physical plane. Earth transforms possibility into something tangible: a body, a home, a foundation, or a creation brought into form.

When Earth energy is balanced, we feel grounded, patient, dependable, nourished, and secure within ourselves. Too little Earth may feel like restlessness, anxiety, instability, or disconnection from the body. Too much can become heaviness, stagnation, rigidity, or resistance to change.

We connect with Earth through the physical senses: walking barefoot, gardening, touching soil, working with stones, eating nourishing foods, slowing the breath, and practicing steady standing postures. Earth teaches that lasting growth requires roots, patience, and a foundation strong enough to support what is becoming. 🌿✨

The element of water represents emotion, intuition, healing, and the subconscious. It flows, adapts, cleanses, and nourishes… reminding us that softness and strength can exist together. Connected to the moon and the tides, water reflects life’s natural cycles of release, renewal, and rebirth.

We can connect with water through mindful bathing, spending time near the ocean or rivers, listening to rain, journaling our emotions and dreams, or simply drinking water with gratitude. Water never forces its way forward; it responds, reshapes, and continues… teaching us to honor what we feel while allowing life to keep moving through us.

Air is the unseen force of movement… the breath within us, the wind around us, and the space through which thought, sound, and communication travel. It represents intellect, imagination, inspiration, and our ability to perceive life from a higher perspective.

Its sacred symbol- an upward-pointing triangle crossed by a horizontal line- reflects rising consciousness guided by balance. In yogic philosophy, air is expressed through Vāyu, the movement of prāṇa throughout the body. Through conscious breathing, we can clear mental heaviness, soften inner tension, and reconnect with the spacious awareness beneath our thoughts.

When air is balanced, ideas flow, words become clear, and we feel open, curious, and inspired. When excessive, it may leave us restless, scattered, or ungrounded. Air reminds us that clarity does not always come from thinking harder… sometimes it arrives when we pause, breathe, and create enough inner space for truth to move through us.

Where in your life are you being invited to breathe more freely? 🌬️

Fire is the sacred force of transformation-the element that illuminates, purifies, and turns what has been into fuel for what we are becoming. In yoga, this inner flame is known as Agni: the fire that digests not only food, but also emotions, experiences, and the lessons life places before us. We strengthen it through tapas, the fiery discipline of returning to our practice even when the path feels difficult. This is not the fire of punishment or force, but the steady heat of devotion- the courage to burn through stagnation, refine our intentions, and keep moving toward truth. When tended with awareness, our inner fire becomes the light that reveals the way forward and the power that carries us there.

The spiral is an ancient symbol of transformation. The eternal movement through creation, dissolution, and rebirth. It reminds us that spiritual growth is rarely a straight path. We may return to the same wounds, lessons, and questions, but each revolution meets them from a deeper level of awareness.

As the spiral turns inward, it carries us beyond the noise of the outer world and through the layers of identity we once believed were permanent. At its center is stillness: the point where striving ends, separation dissolves, and the seeker recognizes that the truth was never somewhere else.

Enlightenment is not becoming more. It is returning to the sacred center and remembering what has always been. 🌀

You cannot learn without pain, because some truths can only be understood through experience. But pain itself is not the lesson. The lesson emerges when we become present enough to understand what it reveals.

In Ta***ic Yoga, an unresolved emotional impression is called a samskara. It is more than a memory. It is a pattern of emotion, belief, reaction, and energy formed when an experience could not be fully processed. The event may be over, but its energy can remain stored within us.

When the present touches that wound, the samskara becomes activated. Fear, anger, grief, shame, or defensiveness may feel larger than the current situation. This does not mean we are moving backward. Something buried may be rising because it is ready to be witnessed.

Just as fire transforms fuel into heat and light, awareness can transform the energy held within our wounds. In the Krama tradition of nondual Ta**ra, this is called hatha-paka, or sudden digestion.

Digestion does not mean destroying an emotion. It means fully experiencing its energy without identifying with it or feeding it with a story. We remain present, soften our resistance, and allow the feeling to move. There is a difference between noticing fear and believing fear is who we are.

Ta***ic Yoga does not reject difficult emotions as spiritually wrong. In the nondual view, even anger, sadness, and fear contain sacred energy. The emotion is not the enemy. Resistance, suppression, and identification keep it trapped.

This changes what it means to let go. We do not discard the energy. We release our resistance and attachment to the story. When a samskara is met with awareness and compassion, its trapped energy can return as vitality, understanding, strength, and wisdom.

Pain does not automatically make us wiser. It becomes wisdom when consciously witnessed and integrated. Healing is not pretending everything is light. It is sitting with what hurts without abandoning ourselves, holding the feeling with awareness until it no longer holds us.

Some love is meant not only to be lived, but to become medicine for the world. Sacred Ojas Wellness was born from the love Brandon and I share, but also from a deeper calling to create something that reaches beyond us. Through healing, sound, movement, presence, and connection, we hope to turn what we have learned through our own journeys into something that helps others remember the peace and wholeness already within them. To us, love is not only something we feel for one another… it is something we can embody, share, and allow to ripple outward. ✨ Photo credit: Maria Love 🌿

Life has a way of breaking open the parts of us we thought were solid. And while those seasons can feel like loss, they can also create space for something more honest to emerge. We are not always meant to return to who we were before. Sometimes the deepest growth comes from allowing what has been broken open to reveal what was underneath all along.
