Expanding our capacity for love

Namaste just graduated its fourth batch of Yoga teachers in February, congratulations gurujis!

But that's not what I'm here to talk about. During the training, I was, once more, teaching the philosophy part of the course. This is a topic very dear to my heart as I get to share concepts that I know deep in my heart, work. Concepts that as a human being, I do not always succeed at applying but nonetheless, concepts that never failed me.

But what I struggled with this time around, surprisingly enough, was finding the words. It wasn't that I was not inspired. I am. It wasn't that I didn't do my research, homework or that I didn't intellectually understand it. I did. The problem was that more than my mind, my heart understood it.

As I sat in front of those beautiful trainees with their eyes full of wonder waiting to receive so many profound ancient teachings that I know rung true, I kept finding myself questioning the need for so many pointers when in the end, it was all pointing to one thing. All human struggles, desires, suffering, needs and ambitions can be solved by solving one thing. Our ability to heal, to find joy, to become free, to find health, to connect with others, all of it pointed to one thing. If we desired all of that we only had to do one thing.

And so I sat finding less desire to talk about it as it was an experience that had to be felt. I knew that in my moments of despair I had to withdraw within myself and find a silent space in my heart that knew no discrimination. I knew that this space had no preference, no agenda and no restlessness. I knew that this space was always available to me so long I remained aligned with Divine harmony, so long I remained aligned so capable of loving and accepting myself and everyone around me.

I struggled to fill hours of Yoga lectures with words when all spiritual teachings can be summed up in a few words: "Expand your capacity for love"

    Weam is the founder of Namaste. She had started a very deep and intense spiritual journey at a young age having refused to continue to suffer with the common challenges of her generation: depression, anxiety and being lost. She insisted that there must be more to life than the constant rat race she was in

    Since delivering her baby in 2007, Weam has been hooked on yoga. Seeing how it transformed her body, and mind, she started practicing regularly fascinated by the way yoga got her to look at her mind and body in broader and more creative ways. Yoga stretched her body and mind beyond her comfort zone and created more space for her within.

    Taking her yoga practice further Weam got certified as a yoga teacher (RYT) and now truly believes that yoga is for everyone . She finds great joys taking people to their own edges to allow for growth and to help individuals achieve their goals whilst respecting their bodies and its limitations.

    Being fascinated by the human mind and body, Weam came across Reiki. The Reiki meditations transformed her emotional and mental state in ways she had not thought possible. Feeling that freedom from the prison of her own mind she decided to dedicate her life to help others find the tools right for their own spiritual growth and inner peace and so Namaste was born.
