Breaking through

Today I met the family that bought our house in Hyde Park. My dear friend who lives across the street from that house invited me to come over for tea and meet Barabara and her kids. I had Z and M with me and they played so well with her 3 kids. In all, the experience was good. I must admit my heart yearns to be back there. I find myself wishing I could go back a year ago and make different decisions, However (with a capital H added for emphasis) I know I have changed and grown in ways that I would not have been able to do without the experiences of the past year. Z is so funny he said,"Mom can we go and play there again?" I said, "Yes", truly I do think they will. He then said, "Do you think you can remember how to get there again?" Obviously he does not have the same mental problems I do about the house! Of course with tears in my eyes I said, "We used to live there I won't forget how to get there." After the trauma of this experience today I felt very unsettled regarding my own emotions about the matter. So I did the following exercise and found it to be helpful. I hope that if you ever have a stressful encounter where you feel torn about your path that you will take the time to enjoy this quick yoga exercise to get yourself back in balance and heal your heart.
