Oneness

Last night was yoga class at my spiritual community. I have to say the more I do yoga the more meaningful it becomes. While in savasana or corpse pose, our teacher told us to totally relax our bodies and become observers of our bodies. Something about that pose and statement struck me. I have achieved totally relaxation in savasana before. I couldn't feel my body and I felt like I was floating on a cloud. But last night was different. As I laid there relaxing each muscle something shifted in my awareness. I felt a sense of oneness with divine, the source, life energy, God, whatever you choose to call it. I could feel my limbs but I was observing them rather than being them. I don't know if this makes sense but it was a transformative experience. I felt calm and at ease with the world. Nothing else mattered in that time and space. I could of stayed there forever, but life is more than savasana. I have children to care for and dishes to wash! What I can do is take the feeling of oneness and try to find it in the everyday things of life that I don't enjoy so much, like washing dirty diapers or arguing with my three year old about eating her peas!
