017 | Amma, Service & Finding My Voice: A Book Reading with Meredith Rom
Subscribe on Itunes
Last night I held my first book reading in Berkeley, CA at the community meditation house I used to live in.
The living room was packed, and at one point people were even spilling out into the hallway!
What happened there, was pure magic.
I sang with the harmonium, told stories, answered questions from the audience and shared the first in-person reading from Synchronicity.
It's amazing to think that only three years ago I never would have imagined my life would look like this. Singing and telling stories in front of a group? Me? I don't know if I would have believed you!
However, what I've learned about my fear over the years is that confidence comes from actually going out and DOING the things that scare us.
Confidence comes from taking action.
It's only when we are in the non-action - the waiting and procrastinating that our minds run wild telling us stories that aren't even real.
Every time I've done something that scares me, it always feels like a crazy leap of faith, but every time I have made the jump, I have been met with so much love, synchronicity and magic.
Today I have a new Synchronicity book reading to share with you! It's all about Amma, service and finding my voice as a teacher.
In this episode you'll learn about:
Teachings of Amma, the hugging saint and my experiences at her ashram
What it was like to teach English to hundreds of children at an orphanage in India
My experience of teaching my first yoga class and discovering my authentic voice as a teacher
I'm curious what fear you have been hiding from? What small step could you take to walk towards it? Let me know in the comments below.
There are just 10 days left in the Kickstarter campaign! I am so grateful to everyone who has gathered together in support of this project. Really, I had no idea my heart could expand with this much love.
Warmly,
Meredith
