Farewell to 21 (part 2)

How quickly and dramatically can things change? In a global
pandemic, the answer is "VERY"! In the last episode Monica was
looking forward to Christmas in Slovakia and her birthday (and
New Year) in Sicily. However, Monica is now in splendid isolation
at home after testing positive before trying to take the flight
to Sicily. Matt was busy preparing for a Christmas for seven
family members, but in the end it was three people and one dog -
everyone else at home also having caught Covid...

We continue our conversation about the things we remember from
all of our guests, lessons learned, sparks of inspiration that
encourage us to try something new, or find a "better" way to
practice (or perhaps just one more appropriate for right
now).

We are blessed to know so many artists and dancers and to hear
how closely linked the need for self-expression is to the need to
discover the real self; how understanding and occupying the body
can help us to see that we are not our bodies. 

Of course we wander off on a tangent - the focus on tantra from
Michael and Tara inevitably led to Matt getting a new book (one
which Monica of course has). And we talk about being a channel or
a vessel for a higher consciousness. It happens to all of us more
often that we think.

On the day of publishing, the last day of 2021, it is Monica's
birthday and she is in isolation at home with Tomas, her husband.
They won't be allowed back out into the world until the end of
next week. So if you have the opportunity, please wish her a
Happy Birthday via @yoga.stories.matt.monica on Instagram, or via
Twitter @StoriesYoga.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We will have many more stories to share in 2022.
Please join us, and share, share, share!
