It took me over six years to be able to laugh at myself
It's now an important tool in my spiritual tool kit.
It's all lila (लीला) - the divine dance. Dance, sing and laugh while you can while we're on this brief, beautiful glorious journey.
It is my understanding that all spiritual paths contain within them what I call traps. It's important to be serious about your spiritual practice, but the trap with seriousness (Buddhists call it "near enemy") is heaviness, morbidity, despair, inaction.
Laughter is freeing and energizing.
Namaste,
Phaedris
