Luminous Beings

I just walked to “The Knob” in Falmouth, MA with some friends and on our way back to our house we walked through dozens of firefly’s. It felt magical. They sparkled and lit up the path we were walking. It felt like a mix between Avatar and Fern Gully. We live on and with a beautiful planet. 

As we walked, Jimbo mentioned that firefly’s were a very sensitive species that acted as an indicator for the health of the environment. If there are harsh chemicals or pesticides present firefly’s are one of the first species to no longer thrive. 

I immediately equated this to our own luminosity. Each of us have inner luminosity that can light up a space. However when we allow poison to proliferate within our system our luminosity dims. Poison hides in plain sight: negative thinking, doubt, procrastination, resentment, dishonesty with ourselves and others, unhealthy foods, toxic substances… the list goes on and we all know what serves us and what doesn’t.

Recognize what’s poison for you now. Some things may have been medicine before and as we’ve grown it became irrelevant on our evolutionary journey. 

The more we lean into wholesomeness, Yoga, an integrated path, the more we establish ourselves in our own luminosity. As our light shines we can see ahead more easily and others also come in to share the light.

With Light and Love,
