How quickly and dramatically can things change? In a global pandemic, the answer is "VERY"! In the last episode Monica was looking forward to Christmas in Slovakia and her birthday (and New Year) in Sicily. However, Monica is now in splendid isolation at home after testing positive before trying to take the flight to Sicily. Matt was busy preparing for a Christmas for seven family members, but in the end it was three people and one dog - everyone else at home also having caught Covid...
We continue our conversation about the things we remember from all of our guests, lessons learned, sparks of inspiration that encourage us to try something new, or find a "better" way to practice (or perhaps just one more appropriate for right now).
We are blessed to know so many artists and dancers and to hear how closely linked the need for self-expression is to the need to discover the real self; how understanding and occupying the body can help us to see that we are not our bodies.
Of course we wander off on a tangent - the focus on tantra from Michael and Tara inevitably led to Matt getting a new book (one which Monica of course has). And we talk about being a channel or a vessel for a higher consciousness. It happens to all of us more often that we think.
On the day of publishing, the last day of 2021, it is Monica's birthday and she is in isolation at home with Tomas, her husband. They won't be allowed back out into the world until the end of next week. So if you have the opportunity, please wish her a Happy Birthday via @yoga.stories.matt.monica on Instagram, or via Twitter @StoriesYoga.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We will have many more stories to share in 2022. Please join us, and share, share, share!
