THE MAGICAL JOURNEY

"The union of the heart, the breath and the mind give birth to the beautiful butterfly. Each one of us have this magic within us and the wings to fly." - Hetal Mody

Last June I performed with my students from my kids yoga classes that I call Hridayam a short yoga story at a dance show in Mumbai. It is the story of a carterpillar turning into a butterfly. 
This is my first experience of the first part of the Storytime Yoga® for Kids Teacher Training, as it is truly an awakening of the storyteller within me.

The golden, empowering rays of the sun shine on the eggs, that are laid on the leaf that rest in peace.

A great life force begins from inside that crawls out into a wonderful caterpillar.

The caterpillar looks around for food and says,

“I’M  HUNGRY YUMMY YUMMY. I WANT TO FLY.”

Now he wants to have some fun. So he looks around for some play.

“I’M  HUNGRY YUMMY YUMMY. I WANT TO FLY.”

The caterpillar now gets inquisitive and wants to learn and grow. He looks around for knowledge.

“I’M  HUNGRY YUMMY YUMMY.  I WANT TO FLY.”

Alass he wants to share his food, fun n play and knowledge so he looks around for love. “I’M  HUNGRY YUMMY YUMMY, I WANT TO FLY.”

After all this he feels he has become greedy and tired.

A few questions come to his mind.

"Why do i want more?"

"What else is there?"

"How do I fly?"

"What stops me?"

He slowly enters the cocoon and sits inside with his head dropped. He focuses on a small sound that comes from his heart, a soft breeze that enters through his nostrills and a small bell that rings in his head.

The three sounds connect and brings a smile, a purpose, an answer.

The union of the heart, the breath and the mind give birth to the beautiful butterfly.

Each one of us have this magic within us and the wings to fly.

The voice of the heart speaks, in scilence we get answers and with the breath we live.

I fall, I rise, I make mistakes. I live and I learn so I’m ALIVE!!!
