For Giving Me This Purpose

For giving me this purpose: 

so still on the theme of care-giving, how I've been shaped by my own experience of tending to my ailing parents all the way to the end of life, and that now I'm left to care for others in the most meaningful way that I know how. This was the great gift provided to me right after my father's death, grief stricken and bereft of purpose and the softest whisper arrived to me - to just continue in my care, trusting in a higher guidance. It's been 4 years since I've heard that whisper, and only now is it becoming more clear as to what I'm supposed to do...

love.

listen.

and to do my best to relinquish all judgement.

and so here I am, a practicing caregiver, a small content creator with a platform devoted to healing others of their momentary forgetfulness, reminding each person that they are loved and loving in their very essence. It's also a place that serves to remind me of who I am, providing me the care that I need to survive my own loneliness and fears. I've no idea what any of this truly means, how it will unfold from this point on - but I'm grateful for your presence, each of you that finds me. I love you...and thank you, thank you, thank you. For giving me this purpose.

and the healing that you offer.

I love you, Eric

Continuous Care

Continuous care: 

another note on being a continuous caregiver- no one is excluded from this love, it's cultivated from deep within and then allowed its free expression to touch upon the world. Without my own sense of self-love it's impossible to extend it to others, whatever lack found within myself would be projected out onto the world and only then create more problems. A caregiver's task is to seek their own wounded heart in the appearance of another, never doubting that they are the ones healed in the grace of their giving. It's in this light that we are endlessly fueled in the continuation of our care. 

self renewed.

infinitely 

so.

Caregivers

Caregivers:

I was asked to be a caregiver, first in helping my father care for my mom through her long struggle with Alzheimer's, and then on to his own declining health in his last few years. After his passing, grieving his loss as well as what felt like a lost purpose I had held for any years, I was given a clear directive after deep meditation and praying for direction - my role as a caregiver was to continue. But now, absent of an individual figure, my care was to be all encompassing, it was simple...

offer love to everyone I encounter.

to the best that I'm able.

at the time, this meant continue with the aspects of yoga that were most meaningful for me, the tools that carried me though those long, difficult years of tending to my parents. For me, meditation and breathwork were invaluable for the gifts of patience and clarity that they offered. I would not have been able to be survive those years, let alone be an effective caregiver, without them. So I wished to extend those gifts to others and became a certified teacher in both modalities. I've taught many over the last 4 years since my father's death and it's brought me great joy and satisfaction. Yet it wasn't quite the directive that I was given, useful tools, yes, but they're limited to those who seek them out or are drawn to explore them for reasons of their own. Inexplicably, I found myself teaching freely on YouTube, breathwork, meditation, and more....offering insights gained through decades of A Course in Miracles practice. Here's my directive, this place I've somehow stumbled upon - demonstrate peace in every possible moment. Give love to those who find themselves here. 

be a caregiver.

in these troubled times, more so then any other that I remember...

my only role is to care.

and perhaps lead others through my own imperfect example that we are to care for each other, no exceptions made, practicing infinite patience and kindness to neighbor, friend, and seeming foe. We are caretakers for each other, and firstly, this means tending to our own wounded hearts as well. No one is neglected, ignored, nor cast out of our hearts. Including ourselves. 

no exceptions. 

and we can do this, we have to...

it's imperative to heal.

starting now.

let's be caregivers for each other.

I love you, Eric
