I have no doubt that within me there is a belief that the most profound Mystical teachers exist “somewhere else” – a teacher I might one day travel somewhere to find. And yet at the same time I see all of the Mystical teachers in my life here and now. In fact, I’ve been deeply blessed by the profound level of being, radiance and peace that permeates some of my greatest spiritual mentors. They include family members, precious friends, spiritual guides and a partner who is a blessing from the Mystery itself.
Today however I received a gift. A different take on “teacher”. Near the end of my Yoga practice, sweaty and grateful I took the time to connect to my body and breath, I heard this particular yoga teachers wisdom. He said “I bow to the teacher in everything.”
And there it was … I didn’t even have to travel. I was cracked open by the wisdom of this highly tatooed mohawk hair yoga friend and all of his deeply centered glory. It was as if in an instant the whole world was healed. Wow. If only we saw everything and everyone as our Mystical teachers. All be it small or large … everything “as teacher” transforms our deepest resistance into thank you for what this is revealing to me for my healing and transformation.
Mystical teachers are everywhere and in everyone. My Mystical teacher today was an individual named Harleigh.
In close, I bow to both the teacher and student in you …
