Do you remember who first taught you to pray or meditate? Was it your grandmother, or perhaps the person who taught the first yoga class you attended?
We have SO many spiritual teachers on the spiritual path, and it is important to stop and thank them. In the Hindu tradition there is an annual holy day called ‘Guru Purnima’ which is the full moon day we honor our Guru or spiritual teacher.
The word guru means dispeller of darkness, meaning the darkness of ignorance. Any teacher can be a guru (with a small g), but Guru (with a capital G) is THE Guru, the one who awakens you to the truth of your being, and THAT Guru lives within each one of us.
In this episode, I share a simple guided meditation to help you connect with YOUR inner Guru and express your gratitude for ALL the blessings you have received.
I won’t tell you much more than that because I want you to experience this meditation for yourself. Please let me know how it made you feel.
Key Learnings:
1) In India, one of the holiest times of the year is called Guru Purnima. It is held on a full moon in the summer (the date changes every year according to the Hindu calendar, similar to Easter) and is a time of celebration and gratitude. Where would we be without the help of our Guru?
2) Any teacher can be a guru (with a lower case g) – your elementary school math teacher, or your piano teacher, or anyone who has taught you anything! But the Guru (with a capital G) is THE teacher, the one who awakens you to the truth of your being. And while it is wonderful to have a Guru who is in a body, ALL of us have the Inner Guru, the one who is always guiding us.
3) Whether you have a Guru in a body, or you are connecting with your inner Guru, take some time to sit and reflect on all the blessings you have received in your life. Be truly grateful for them. And thank your Inner Guru, the one who is always with you and loves you more than you can imagine.
“Your inner Guru is always guiding you and loves you more than you can imagine.”
