On freedom.

Freedom.

What does freedom mean to you?

In the United States on the 4th of July, we celebrate this country's independence. It's freedom. This time of year has always been such a great reminder to myself to explore what my own living and working definition of freedom is. As with anything in life, this can shift and evolve over time based on life experiences. While my definition of freedom can be vastly different from yours - neither better or worse - I would love to share a traditional yogic chant:

"Lokah Samastah Sukinho Bhavantu"

This translates to:

"May all beings everywhere be happy and free. May the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to the happiness and freedom for all."

If you would like to meditate more with this chant, here is a direct link to David Lurey's song. Here is also a link for a Loving Kindness Metta Meditation offered by me. Wishing you all the happiness, love and freedom today and everyday.

In love, light + with gratitude,
Nicole
