It was that all the work

It was like, okay, this is not going to work and so what I got to see was that all the work that I had thought that I had done around who am I

I I really got to see how attached I was.

I got to see how attached, oh, I'm attached to being a studio owner.

I'm attached to being a prominent member of a community. Like this feels like a death right now. It's like all

these parts of me are dying and I'm really glad that I had this yoga philosophy to kind of lean on to recognize,

oh, this is what they're talking about in the yoga sutras, this fear of death,

this idea that I'm going to go bankrupt somehow feels like a death.

And what am I going to do about it?

I need to lean into the darkness right now.

I need to lean into the death, because the truth is that this is not who I am.

This is just another mass that I have put on that's actually keeping me from seeing the truth

and being the truth.
