So last night I taught two hoop classes. I went there with no expectations, and some hot passionate Brazillian music. It was an amazing confirmation of what relaxing and letting go can do to open the way for the fantastic.
It was flowing quite high from all the inner spiritual work I have been doing lately and was right in the pocket while teaching... in that in-between place of effortlessly speaking and sensing the great time students were having, while simutaneously feeling myself having a great time with how effortless it was. I realized afterwards as I was walking away that *this* is the pefect place to teach from... total presence, love and energy flowing! I realized how lucky I am to be able to have this sensation in my body, of doing in the moment exactly what I am supposed to be doing! I feel so lucky to be able to teach hoopdance. I *know* the work I am doing is part of my own Divine path and unfolding!
Interesting as well because this is at a gym I work for, the only gig like this I have in which I am "working for someone ese", and my manager apologized because she hadn't gotten me my paycheck on time. I shrugged it off and said, not to worry and that I wasn't there for the money. I was completely serious. She paused for a minute to take it in and I thought for the first time about the money that would come, and thought, "Oh, that would be a nice treat!" as an afterthought. But honestly, this is the first time in my life I have taken a paying job where I had to show up at regular weekly times for months, which is100% for the experience without any "need" for the money it would yield.
My reasons for teaching at this gym are simply for professional experience and learning what it is like to hold space in that kind of streamlined gym environment, instead of a dance studio. I am there to self educate myself about modifying my classes for students with strictly fitness needs so I can relate to all students better and develop my work. Honestly, I would make 10x more money teaching my own class.
But there was this vaccum when I said it and when I reflected upon it again later... an air pressure change around me where i had a realization of how good it felt to be able to say to someone that I am doing something simply because I wanted to be there, not for the money. I realized that I have been writing about this in my 15 minute miracles... that I wish to be able to do everything only from desire, not from need... and it is already beginning to happen.
All is well and unfolding perfectly!
